Description
Haha - ive always wanted to share with you my FF and KH collection but was gonna wait till i have more since im still in the middle of buying them - but recently ive been thinking about it and thought id do one now and then maybe another in a year or 2 so you can see my ever growing collection
A bit of a challenge to fit them all in and to take the photo as close as i could without cutting anything out - did this in my room on my bed - couldve done this downstairs on the kitchen table but i cba to take all this down :L
So i'll make a list of everything starting from the top and working my way down -
Top row - FF13, FF 13-2, KH1, KH2, KH 2 Manga volumes 1,2 and 3 (2 and 3 are in german because Amazon didnt say they were when i ordered them >_>)
2nd row - FF13 HB guide, FF13-2 HB guide, KH2 PB guide, KH 358/2 Days PB guide and KH Birth by Sleep PB guide
3rd row - FF Theatrhythm, FFX Demo (came with FF6 for the PS1), FF Beyond (this is a small behind the scenes - mainly for X - has interviews with the voice actors for Tidus and Yuna - they talk about the game, characters and story - theres a music video of 'Suteki da ne' which shows Rikku singing and cutscenes from the game - and then theres a few trailers of KH1 and i forget what other ones they had on there :L - this disc came in a game magazine long ago and i found it in my brothers room), FF6, KH3D, KH 358/2 Days, KH Birth by Sleep and KH Re:Coded
4th row - FF12 PB guide, FF12 Renevent Wings PB guide, FFX PB guide, FFX-2 PB guide and FF Dissidia PB guide
5th row - FF12, FF12 Renevent Wings, FF7 Dirge of Cerberus, FFX, FFX-2, FF Dissidia, FF Dissidia Duodecim and FF7 Crisis Core 
Bottom row - FF7 Advent Children Complete, FF1, FF2, FF4/The Interlude/The After Years Collection, a cloth with an image of Cecil and 4 cards with images on front and back from FF4/The After Years (these were included in the FF4 Collection) and finally FF7 Advent Children So this is my collection so far
- i still have a little ways to go but im slowly getting there! Ive already made plans to buy the rest of the games i.e FF3,5,7,8 and 9 (dont know about 11 and 14 as im not a huge fan of MMO's) - theres remakes of past games like FFX - the new games like FF Versus 13, FF13 Type-0 and FF13-3 (if its named that) - KH Chain of Memories and the soon to be KH3 - plus i would like to start buying a couple of figurines and plushies but i need to make room for them first
I hope i havent missed anything out!
Hope you like and enjoy my collection!
[EDIT] - ok i knew i forgot something - FF Spirits Within (Blu-ray) >_> - its my brothers so its in his room - i always forget about that one! - dammit! Dx

I took this ages ago so my collection has increased :L
358/2 Days is an alright game - Birth by Sleep though is soooo good! - i need to play it again via KH Remix 2.5
The only FF games i need now are 9 (which i'm planning on getting in the summer this year), Tactics A2 (DS), Origins (PS1), one or 2 Chocobo Games (i have one for the DS), and perhaps the Crystal Chronicles Series to try them out - there are the MMOs' but i'd rather get them when i prepared to pay monthly lol
My favourite has always been X - it's just an amazing game - have it for the PS2, PS3 and soon for the PS4 when it comes out on May 15th - and if i had a Vita - i would have X on that too

I just added to my collection with FF XIII. I found it in a Pawn shop for $5.
Unfortunately, I don't have a PS that can play Birth by Sleep, and I can't find 358/2 Days anywhere (my friend has 1.5, but I discovered it only shows the cinematics for 358/2 Days). Are you saying there are FF MMOs? I never knew there was such a thing (FF games don't usually have multiplayer capabilities).
I want to play X, but I only have X-2, and that could spoil things for me. If I can find it for the PS2, I may buy it.

Awesome!
Thats a shame - i have the standard game for Birth By Sleep on the PSP aswell as 2.5 remix - yeah its 3hrs of cutscenes - they got all the basic and important stuff in but it doesn't show any battles or what missions you went out on - they did the same for Coded in 2.5 - but they did show some fights since people had mentioned they would've liked to have seen some in 358/2 Days
Yeah - you didn't know? :u - FF 11 and 14 are MMO's - some of the FF's do have Multiplayer like the original Type-0 game on PSP, Mobile games etc. - but 11 and 14 are the only main numbered ones that are purely MMO's - 14 actually has one of my favourite openings - it is amazing!!
Oh fair enough - X was actually my very first FF game - it blew my mind since it was a huge leap from the games that i played back in the day - and it introduced me to the Series - X is my favourite game of all time

Yep. XIII has some of the best computer animation I've ever seen for the Final Fantasy series. I would like to be able to explore some of it more instead of just running through it.
I would love to play Birth by Sleep and 358/2 days, but I can't find them (the full games), and I would have to buy the system if I want to play BBB, Crisis Core, and Dissidia. I've finished all the other KH games, and I can find Re:Coded.
Most of my FF experience has been with games before 11. The only exceptions are games like Theatrhythm and XIII. I've heard of Type-0, but it was exclusive to Japan until now, so I knew nothing about it. Plus, my only PS systems are 1 and 2, neither one had access to the internet.
My first FF game was either I, Tactics, VII, or VIII, it's hard to remember, and I've owned all of them for a long time. FF7 was the first one I ever got far on, and it became part of my childhood. I heard of a shop in my town that mainly sells old games and consoles. Maybe I can find X, IX, and any other FF or KH games for consoles I own. I have plenty of space on my PS2 memory cards if I need it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah - it's pretty Linear until chapter 11 when everything opens up (this is actually one of the main reasons why this game has so much hate - Linearity doesn't bother me much but there were alot of places i would've liked to go back and visit)
Have you checked Amazon? - i always buy my stuff from there - they'll definitely be up on there
I started with X, then X-2, 12, Dirge of Cerberus - then there was a large gap until i got a PSP for Crisis Core when that came out, FF1, 2, Dissidia + 012 then the collection for 4, they we move onto the DS games, PS3, 3DS - i go back and buy the PS1 games, and now we're on the PS4 - i almost have them all now
Yeah they may have them you never know - haha i remember filling up one of my memory cards with KH2 saves - love that game
π: 0 β©: 1
I think I'm on Chapter 7 or 8. I'm at the part where Snow comes in with his Shiva Bike (with style I might add), and he starts travelling with Hope. The music for the Sunleth Waterscape got really annoying though. I'm kind of used to the linear travel because of Dirge of Cerberus.
I don't have a way to pay for things online yet, I just have cash right now.
lol It must be interesting to start FF7 with Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. I started out with the original game. It's my favorite so far. You play as Cloud for most of the game. Like XIII, it takes 3 disks to play through the story. It's kind of a free-roam game, and it takes a long time to go through the story. Enemies are random encounters, you don't see them coming like you do in XIII. You still attack in turns, but the the battle system is still very different from XIII. I'm sorry if I'm explaining something you already know... I would like to try a PS3 or PS4 so I can play more FF games (and possibly KH3 when it comes out).
I shall take a look when I have the time. Hopefully I can find some PS1 Memory cards. I have at least 4 PS2 cards without any saved data. I could fill them up with whatever I wanted.

It depends on the game for me when it comes to Linearity - as i'm more focused on finishing the game - but with games like FF - the places look so interesting and amazing - that i'd like to re-visit more often - when i first played 13 years ago - i presumed we could go back so i didn't focus much on exploring and checking out the scenery - then finding out we couldn't was a shame - and from that i learned to fully explore everything in any future FF game (or any RPG) - from now on since you never know - i even do that with the ones i go back to play again like X or 12 - the more i play it the more i focus on other things and notice things i never did previously
Fair enough - but when you do Amazon is great - has everything lol - i also use Ebay for any old games like for the PS1 - can get them in great condition for a good price
Yeah - the only things i knew about 7 were from Kingdom Hearts - Dirge of Cerberus is an alright game - takes a while to get used to - Crisis Core is amazing - i got Advent Children at the same time too - i got 7 2 yrs ago i think - it is a really good game - did everything apart from beating Ruby Weapon (i've seen strategies but it was too much work - had to have Cloud's HP exactly 7777 - and your other 2 guys in your team dead) - next time i play the game i will try it out - oh your have 13 on 360 - on the PS3 it only has one disc - it's the same for other FF games on the Playstation systems now - all on one disc
I tend to delete data if there are multiple saves - i'll keep one (the best playthrough i did) - if ever i need room - my brothers don't play on the PS1/2 and such anymore - so i'm fine with deleting their saves

I see what you mean. FF7 taught me to explore the environment because of way you can explore. It was also necessary for certain Materia and items. I could spend a whole day Chocobo Racing and Breeding. I never had to play a Linear game until Dirge of Cerberus (some parts were more free-roam). I loved seeing areas in better graphics like the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim, and Kalm (even if there were some changes to their design). Kalm didn't look like a handful of buildings anymore. I tried to apply my tendency to explore, but 13 seems more linear than Dirge of Cerberus. Still, I think I may have missed a couple items I should have grabbed. 13 also had a new upgrade system. I'm used to leveling up and applying my abilities like Materia. It's also different when you see the enemies before you run into them. I will explore 13 more when I get to replay it.
I'll bet, but I think I will just look in pawn shops for now. It was nice to find 13 for $5, maybe the other games will be just as cheep.
-The first KH hinted at Sepheroth's connection to Cloud, but never had them meet. Sepheroth kicked my butt many times though.
-KH2 really focused on Advent Children (It was hilarious when Tifa said she was looking for someone with spiky hair, and Sora looked at his own only to hear Tifa say, "Spikier"). Cloud doesn't have that much of spotlight anywhere else, even though he appeared in Chain of Memories.
-I liked Dirge of Cerberus for its music and it's story, but some its game-play was new to me as well. I saw a secret ending on Youtube for Dirge of Cerberus. I think it was supposed to be Genesis, but he looks a bit different (I think DoC was made before Crisis Core).
-I've been wanting to play Crisis Core since I first heard about it, but I still need both the Console and the game. Together, I don't know how expensive they will be.
-Advent Children is my favorite FF movie (even though there is only a couple). Seeing Sepheroth appear with his signature music gave me the same surprised response I had in the original game (when I hear One-winged Angel for the first time, my heart almost stopped).
-I think you may be farther than me on FF7, I have both the Ruby and Emerald Weapon to defeat. I have the underwater materia, but I still can't defeat Emerald.
-Yeah, I have the 360 version, I don't have a PS3, PS4, PSP, or a PSvita, My only PS consoles are 1 and 2. I would miss the multi-disk system as well. 7 has 3 disks and 8 has 4 disks. I don't know how many disks 9 or 10 have, but 10-2 has only 1. The original Tactics has 1 disk as well (now that I think about it, Chocobo Dungeons for the Wii has 1 disk as well).
I'm almost afraid to delete any PS1 data. There are years of games. I may be one of the family who still plays on the Playstation, but there is still data from my dad for games like Saga Frontier. By the way, Saga Frontier is a really fun game if you ever get a chance to play it.

Yeah - i'm the same - i can spend ages doing a certain thing like spending time with the Chocobos but usually when i've achieved what i set out to do (say for instance - gotten the best Chocobo) - then i won't bother going back and spending time doing it again - once it's done it's done you know - it is expected that they'll change the design up a bit or add things in - but since Dirge takes place 3yrs after 7 - it would be no surprise if Kalm expanded and changed during that time - Upgrading takes ages in 13 - i do remember there is a trophy for having one of each item on you (all at once - including upgrades) - there are some you get in chests but are not available in the shops - so it is very easy to miss this one - i didn't realise this until halfway through my 1st playthrough since i had sold some of them - so i started again and got the trophy - overall it took about 200hrs to 100% the game - i like the notion of seeing the enemies out on the field - makes it feel more lifelike - plus its funny/scary to run away from a huge monster when you get too close lol - they have this same thing in 12 which was great
I think 11 is on PC and PS2 (only in Japan i think) - there are different expansions to this game aswell - 12 is on the PS2 - it's sequel - Renevent Wings is on the DS - the Tactic games also take place in the same universe - 12 is one of my favourite FF's - the game is HUGE - that's what i really like about it - loads and loads of side quests, hunts, monsters, items, places to go to (you can revisit them all and its open world) - there's also this Pirate Den which is basically like the trophy system we have now - so when you beat certain enemies, get summons, used certain things etc. - you'll unlock a character in the Den - one thing about 12 is that it has an optional enemy called Yiazmat - which has the highest HP out of all the FF's so far - 50 million - took me about 5hrs to beat lol - the story of 12 is more political so it can be a little hard to follow - i've played through it 4 times so i do have a better understanding of it - if ever they do a HD remaster of 12 (which they did hint at if X|X-2 HD did well) - then i'm all up for it
They did meet - in the Final Mix version - when you beat Sephiroth a cutscene starts which shows Cloud enter the ring and for a few seconds they clash before jumping into the sky and vanishing in a bright light - haha because i didn't know much about the FF characters i thought Tifa was looking for Leon lol - the scene made it look like he was hiding from her - since as soon as she left he appeared - that secret ending had the main lead of Gackt (they did the theme song for Dirge - Redemption) - he dressed as Genesis (he's from Crisis Core and not only that but Genesis was created/designed off of him aswell) - when he picked up Weiss and called him brother - i think it was because Nero took over his body - i can't quite remember since it's been too long - i love Advent Children - got it on PSP, DVD and Bluray - love it
Fair enough - i have heard of Saga Frontier - heard alot of good things about it

I have a gold chocobo, I don't know if it's the best, but no matter what chocobo you get, the rider on the Black Chocobo always has a better one... Did you know you can have side characters like Cid compete in the Chocobo Races? The change to Kalm could aslo be there because the original game simplified most towns. The biggest changes for me was Sector 0 and the Shinra mansion's futuristic basement area. I accidentally sold a couple weapons, but, now I'm not anymore. I do admit it is funny to sneak around some guys and then book it if they spot you. I didn't start that until I got in the Sunleth Waterscape. But in 7, 8 and earlier game the encounters were random, so it seemed easier to stay in a region and just gain exp and ap.
Ok, so 11 is likely to be unavailable for now. 12 and its sequel is a possibility. I could try looking for more Tactics, but I still haven't finished the first, original Tactics. 12 does sound pretty great, I'll admit. Yiazmat will be time consuming at best... (I can see how Knights of the Round and Quadra magic could work lol. I may stick with the original 12 if I can find it.
The Final Mix scene sounds like the KH2 scene with Cloud and Sepheroth. I don't think Leon has spiky hair, at least, not compared to Sora and Cloud lol. If Genesis is alive, then they could, in theory, create a sequel with Genesis and Weiss as the enemies. The Final Fantasy Wiki says that both Nero and Weiss were the ones who carried Genesis' body in a helicopter, and they were both spliced with Genesis' genes. finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/We⦠If that it true, I would like to see another chapter to the FF7 story (And I would like to see more of Red XIII if they make it). So Gackt was there in live action? I would like to see the extended version of Advent Children, but I only have the DVD copy. Have you notice Denzel, Roxas, Ventus, Tidus, and Hope all look similar (especially Hope, Tidus, and Denzel)? If you find out the materia combo for Emerald, can you please tell me.
Saga Frontier is a really fun game to play. It's a bit like Final Fantasy. There are around 9 characters, each character has a backstory and a campaign. It's kind of like Birth by Sleep because each character has a story that links with the others, and you can have other playable characters in your party, but unless you play their story, you won't learn much about them. Each character has a unique fighting style as well.

Yep - i pretty much did everything in 7 apart from beat Ruby Weapon - If it's weapons you sold i guess that is fine - it's more to do with the accessories if i remember correctly - since there are a couple only available in chests - and when you get to chapter 11 - although it becomes open you can't go back to previous chapters - so any chests you missed - you'll be out of luck
Yeah - i'm not sure about 11 - one of my friends has it - not sure if he can still play it though since it is an old PC game (not sure if the servers are still open/ can still join late in the game) - the Tactic game on the PSP (War of the Lions - i have this but not played it yet) - is a remake of the PS1 game - then theres the one of the DS - A2 - one on the Game Boy Advance and one on Mobile
Yeah the Final Mix version was only a couple of seconds so it wasn't that great but the KH2 version was epic - i find Leon has fairly spiky hair - Genesis is alive they just never delved more into him - all we know is that after being taken by Weiss and Nero - they asked him to join their faction and he declined - he than sealed himself away in that cavern you see in that secret ending - i never really compared those characters before tbh - but i kinda get what you mean
Whenever i remember i'll check out Saga - sounds interesting

Did you get all the Wutai flyers (there is one in the lobby of the Shinra building (which is only accessible twice in the game). Ok, because I also sold one of my Black Belts so I had to by another one for 4,500 gil (which is a lot of money where I was at). Ok, so I may not be able to go back, but I'll take a look around my area, and future areas, more closely.
I see what you mean by 11, It's not quite as new as Star Wars the Old Republic. Ok, I won't be able to access the remake or the mobile unfortunately.
Nice, the KH2 scene was just like their fight in Advent Children. I'm still used to calling Leon "Squall." I admit his hair is spikier in the KH games, but in 8, it doesn't look as spiky. It would be cool to see them continue the story. Genesis said they had a lot of work to do. Yeah, I didn't make the Hope comparison until I saw him in 13.
Ok thanks.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep - every little thing and side quest was done - one thing i didn't like about 13 is that the only way to get Gil is to sell things - if you earned them in fights like usual it would've made upgrading much easier/quicker - but i did manage to find a good way to get Gil - by beating the strongest enemy - a Long Gui - you'll see their other counterpart the Adamantoise in chapter 11 - they have low drop rates but theres a chance of them dropping Platinum Ore which you can sell for 150,000 - Long Gui's also drop Trapzohedrons which are the Catalysts needed to upgrade your weapons to the 3rd and final level - much better and easier to get than wasting 2 Million Gil in the shop to buy one - if i remember they have a 5% chance of dropping - managed to get all 6 from beating about 120 of them - got my very first one the first time beating one lol - was very lucky
Somtimes i call Squall Leon as i did play the Kingdom Hearts series before 8 - got used to it - it would be nice if they addressed that ending with Genesis but i would actually like them to revisit other FF's since they spend far too much time on 7 - personally i'd love to have a prequel for X - set 1000yrs into the past - i could say the future but - well i'm not sure if you know this but in X-2 - after the game the Gullwings split - and Shinra went off to the study the Farplane - him and Rin were working together to find a way to harness it's Mako energy by using Vegnagun - they failed on multiple accounts - then jump 1000yrs - space flight is possible - the people leave the planet - Shinra's descendent is among of them - they then settle on another planet and are able to harness Mako energy - the Shinra Company is also founded - i think a few hundred yrs pass - and that's when the story of 7 starts - as the lost ancient tech and spaceships found in 7 were the ones used by Shinra's descendents when they first landed on the planet

I recognize the Adamantoise as an enemy in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy game (You can find bosses from 1-13). I also don't like how hard it is to get Gil. You can occasionally find Gil in chests, but not often. The whole Catalyst thing is still confusing for me though. However, you are lucky to get one on the first try.
lol It's the opposite for me. When I first played KH1, and Donald and Goofy were looking for Leon, I was thinking, "Who's Leon?" When I saw who he was I was thinking, "Squall? He's Leon?" I later realized it was just the first part of his last name, but I'm still used to calling him Squall. You have a point there with 7, but I did hear they are remaking 7 (the original game). I'm up for a remake, but I see your point about focusing on other games. Personally, I would like to see more of 4 in the future. I know it has a sequel called the After Years, but I like its characters and story. I'm sorry, but I didn't know that about X-2. I played it a bit, but I didn't want to get far until I played X. I did hear that might be the case with Shinra, and how it may be connected to 7. I don't know if X or X-2 explore a possibility of a Lifestream, but Mako energy is linked to the Lifestream. Dirge of Cerberus explains that all planets are part of a larger Lifestream cycle. Maybe the planet for X and VII had their own separate lifestreams (or else there probably wouldn't be Mako or life on X's world. The only thing that confuses me, is how the Human's and Ancients are connected. How do Shinra's descendants connect with the humans and ancients in 7?

I have both Theatrhythm games - love them - yeah you need certain catalysts to upgrade things - the upgrading takes a bomb of a time - its what most of your playtime will consist of if you plan on getting the trophy for having all items/weapons/accessories
They said loads of times that if one of their new FF games surpasses 7 - then they'll consider remaking it - whether thats through sales or just in general/popularity - who knows - but knowing Square it's probably sales at the moment - 7 sold 10 million - everyone including me is hoping 15 does the job - it would be cool though if they did the same for 5, 6, 8 and 9 - they never really go back to those - i'm ok with 4 tbh - it had 2 sequels which were ok - the Interlude which takes place a year later (very short game) and the After Years - which was originally released on mobile through episodic release over time - that takes place 17 years after 4 - they brought them to the PSP in a collection (so all 3 games) - which i have - haven't finished the After Years though - think i have 2 episodes left - fair enough - the connection between X and 7 is vaguely hinted at in X-2 - in one or 2 side quests - but the rest of the info was officially confirmed in the Ultimania Book - Shinras descendents aren't the Ancients - when they arrived on 7's world - the only inhabitants were the ancients i believe - since 2000yrs in the past on 7's world Jenova arrived and had a confrontation with the Ancients - Shinras descendants arrived a couple of hundred yrs before 7's story began - maybe about a 1000

I only have the first Theatrhythm game, and I really enjoy it. Right now, my biggest difficulties are the Dark Notes and Ultimate ranks. All the Basic and Hard scores had A, S, or SS. I have a Black Belt at level 5 (I heard they are awesome and very useful accessories), but I don't know how to upgrade it.
I never heard that about remaking 7 once an FF surpasses it. I heard that they were making it right now... (I hope that's true, I would try to get a PS4 for that and KH3). I've never played 5, 6, or 9. All I really know from them is from Theatrhythm. 8 would be an awesome addition, but I need to complete the game (why is it that I never complete the games I have literal guidebooks for? I have 8's, I have Majora's Mask, I have Saga Frontier's, Granstream Saga's, and I have Spyro the Dragon's, and the two I ever completed was the last two I mentioned). I never played 4's sequels, but I played the DS remake and I love the CGI cinematic intro. I'll look for those side quests when I play X-2. You could be right about Shinra's descendants. I've noticed that one of the Weapons in 7 is also in 8. Is that just a tribute to 7, or is there another purpose. He's not as reoccurring as Infrit Shiva, Bahamut or Chocobos.

I had trouble with the Dark notes at first but only the ones where the arrows spin - luckily the Dark Notes aren't in the 2nd game - they actually improved alot of things in Curtain Call - and added so much content - there's so much DLC too - not got them all yet - but theres some great ones to get - nearly all my songs have either a SSS or SS - one or 2 Ultimate scores have and S or less (mainly the Battle ones) - my favourite is playing Advent Childrens One Winged Angel (this is the Battle version you can get via DLC) - has the most notes i believe - well over 700 - i can almost get a SSS - keep getting one Bad lol - if you wait later on in the game and until you unlock more shops - in one of them you can buy the catalysts - you'll be able to find out then - or you could look online lol
No - all they've been doing is sharpening up the original game and bringing it to the latest consoles, handhelds and stuff - want everyone wants is a genuine remake - from top to bottom - but in that case it's gonna take alot of resources, time and money - so i guess thats why they want to focus on new things - they did troll us a while ago at an event - i forgot which - but they came up on stage announced FF7 is coming back to the PS4 - everyone lost their shit because we all thought - they're finally remaking the game - but it turned out to be a port of the PC version..... - have yet to play 9 - but getting it this summer - 5 and 6 are really good - 5 is quite underrated - should be looked at more often - 6 is amazing - this is one that i'd love to see a remake off - to see Kefka in glorious HD lol - we've seen what it's like in Dissidia - so it would be great if they did that with 6 - i have some guidebooks but i never really buy them anymore - i'm able to manage on my own now - i guess it's from years of experience and when it comes to series like FF - i know how to find things, figure things out etc. - since i've played so many of them - Spyro was a great series - the first 3 games on PS1 are amazing - the other game not so much and eventually they got so bad - i ended up rage quitting one which i've never done before - that's how bad it was - the first 3 though i've 100% so many times - the 2nd one i remember 100% in about 3hrs lol - i knew everything - well every FF has weapons from the other games - like Sephiroths Masamune - you can get that in pretty much any FF game - same for accessories and items -Β theres really no connection when it comes to stuff like that - Masamune existed since FF1 - and its been recurring since then

The Dark Notes with the spinning notes are the worst. I did find out that the difficulty and the number of the Dark Notes you unlock next are dependent on the level of the characters in you party that unlock those notes. Now I really want Curtain Call. I don't know if I can get the DLC because you have to buy it with real money. Also I didn't think you could get SSS scores in the first game, I only got SS scores from going through the music with a Stoic Bonus (Nothing equipped at all). One Winged-Angel would be my favorite as well. I have a few shops already in 13, but I don't know if any of them have Catalysts yet. But I could, like you said, check online.
Ah I see. Well I hope they make a genuine remake of FF7.

I can sometimes hit the spinning notes but on Ultimate scores it's hell lol - Never noticed that...huh - each song costs about 80p for me (i'm in the UK) - and for characters just over a Β£1 - so not much but in the first game there are 50 extra songs which i all got - in Curtain Call they're still adding more songs in long after its release - my guess is its almost 100 lol - need about 20 of them and i'll be up to date - theres also 6 (if i remember) characters you can get - shows how much i've spent on both games lol - it's filling up my SD card quick mind - you get SSS scores if you finished the song with no Bad's and the score number is high enough - if you hit each note with a Critical - your score will be the highest there is which is a SSS All Critical - i've got hundreds of these - played the game way too much lol - you'll eventually unlock one which sells the catalysts
FF 6, 7, 8 and 9 are on PS1 - for us in the UK/Europe there's also Origins which is FF1 and 2 together for PS1 and Anthology which is 4 and 5 on PS1 - in the US i believe it's just Anthology that is different - not sure - alot of the time when i listen to the music it makes me want to play the game - Dancing Mad is the theme for Kefka when you fight him at the very end of the game - like how One Winged Angel is with Sephiroth - yeah i remember that - when you click on the Pumpkin it laughs - Dissidia is a great game - the 3rd one was recently announced - i have the first 2 - spent over 550hrs on the first game - almost 100% it - i've finished all the FF's apart from the After Years (story wise) and i haven't fully finished Type-0 and Lightning Returns - no - the game i raged quit was Spyro Eternal Nights on the Wii - it was dreadful - played for about 30 mins - oh - yeah Ultima Weapon does appear in other FF's but with the more recent games i think they've been including those types of optional bosses more often - kinda like throwbacks to old games - i remember Ultima Weapon is in X - and there's the Summon Ultima in 12 - i think he is the one i beat in 8 - at the very bottom of that facility - there was another optional boss - i forgot his name - but in Ultimicias castle in the chapel i think it was - where the Organ is - theres a purple aura floating around - if you meet certain conditions - run into it and you'll fight the strongest enemy in the game - never beat it though...

I noticed that the spinning notes make a pattern. You There was one FMS in a Dark Note, and you need to pay attention to the direction they face right when they hit the circle (It never seems to change in different playthroughs). In that FMS there was a part where the spinning notes are actually down, down, up, up, left, left, right right. If you know what direction they will face before you hit them, you can just act as if they were stationary. It took me a few song fails to figure it out. I can access the DLC for the first game, but I didn't any characters I can unlock, just songs. I think all the character DLCs is for Curtain Call. I haven't had an all critical for any of the songs. I've come close with getting a couple greats and a good, but it still didn't give me a SSS. Is SSS only on Curtain Call? I will admit that Theatrhythm is addicting. There is so much nostalgic music. When I get back on 13, I will look through the shops I have right now. If I don't have the Catalyst shop, I will proceed in the game. The only hard part will be getting the Gil. I'm at the part where Snow is finally playable after a few chapters.
Cool, I didn't know there were so many FF games for the original Playstation. I will keep my eye out for them. Is it possible to get 3? If I can get three, I have a chance of playing 1 through X-2 without getting a new console. Dancing Mad is a crazy song to play on Theatrhythm (especially in the hardest difficulty). I think the pumpkin was given Kefka's laugh because how popular 6 got. Yeah, you're a lot farther than I am. I always wanted to try Eternal Nights. I played the first two, but I wanted to finish the story. I also remember the guide talking about an alien in 8. One thing I love about 8's guide is it tells you how to get the card collection to 100% completion, all the card locations, all the people willing to fight you, etc. That is one thing I'll keep as a constant side quest when I start playing 8 again.

Yeah - sometimes i can catch the note but on ultimate scores when there's a load of them coming your way really really fast - i can screw up lol - it all depends on the position they're in before you hit them - you'll be able to tell if they'll be Up, Down, Left etc. - there are no character DLC in the first game - only in the 2nd one - SSS are in both games - just keep practicing and you'll eventually get them - i find them very easy to get tbh - i've spent too many hours on both games - I'd wait until later on in the game - once you begin chapter 11 you'll have a lot more time to do things like that - although you won't be strong enough to beat many of the enemies so just proceed with the story until the end - chapter 13 - in there you can unlock portals which can transfer you back to chapter 11 and 12 (they'll have portals there too so you can jump back) - those are the only 3 chapters you can fully/openly explore and do whatever
3 is only on the SNES, DS, Mobile and PSP (in Japan only) - i have it on the DS - it's not a bad game tbh - the original Dancing Mad song is almost 18 mins long - a great piece of work - the pumpkin is pretty much an Easter Egg - i like finding them in FF's - back in the day i kept buying the Spyro games because i was interested in knowing what happens next - the first 3 games are brilliant - after that it went downhill - got 7 games in total but of course i quit the series because of how bad it got - Shadow Legacy on the DS however wasn't too bad - never bought the final Spyro game - Dawn of the Dragon i think it was called - Eternal Nights was enough for me lol - oh yeah in FF8 there are aliens called PuPu - weird name lol - they're small little blue aliens - they come down in a small saucer and you can fight them - i was gonna try and get all the cards but as i was continuing with the game i completely forgot about it - and when i was on Disc 4 - just like with any game i play - i go off and finish everything i can before ending the game - turned out you can't complete some things like the Card mini game - Triple Triad wasn't it? - since all the towns get locked - can't enter them - so i never got to finish that unfortunately but next time i play 8 i will be sure to remember

With practice, we can both get better at the spinning notes. I want to play Curtain Call, I have the demo, and I like how you can use buttons, it makes it easier for me. When I get to 11, 12, and 13, I will explore to the fullest.
I have a DS, so I can play 3.
π: 0 β©: 1
I got the demo too - when you get the game since you have the demo it will unlock characters and a few other items early for you - chapter 11 is huge so you will definitely have a lot of exploring ahead of you lol
I think i did have Dancing Mad once with spinning notes - wasn't too bad - i actually wasn't fond of the new trilogy they did with Elijah - hated the look of it (Spyro is very ugly!) and they completely changed the story - and there were some things that were annoying to do - i managed to figure everything out myself in 8 - theres really no need to check for draw points - you can easily see them when running around - and you get most of your stock in battles - there are some things you can miss but if you miss drawing a summon early in the game - when you get to Ulimecias Castle at the end of the game - you have another chance to get them (only for some of them though) - i missed getting Carbuncle as around the beginning of the game i always kept forgetting to draw from enemies - but after that i always made sure - was able to get him again at the end

Is one of those characters Tifa? I always wanted a full FF7 team. Now I can't wait for Chapter 11. I think that could be the chapter when you get to choose your team for the first time.
The song is still crazy though. It's like there are multiple songs taking turns. I agree with the look of Spyro, and the story is very different, but I think the actors did great with what they had. I'm still going to try the guidebook. I want to see if I can get 100% on the first run-through.
π: 0 β©: 1
I can't remember what characters they were - but i got 10 in total to use - my final team was always Sephiroth, Kain, Cloud and Firion in the first game - as they had the best stats and they're some of my favourite characters - in Curtain Call i have yet to unlock all of them yet - but it'll probably be the same again but with either Zack, Vincent, Auron or Squall - it's either that chapter or in chapter 10
Definitely a masterpiece - i like Elijah - he's a good actor but i don't remember anyone else from that game - i've pretty much purged those games out of my head lol - if i remember - some of the old guides didn't have every bit of info - like they missed one or 2 things out or that it was mistranslated - definitely in FF9's it was - i've heard the guide for it isn't very good - for example - a while ago a side quest that wasn't mentioned in the guide was discovered 13 yrs after the game came out - which is insane lol - but the guides have improved a lot more over time - if ever i use them it's only to check the map for where the chests are just in case i don't miss them, the item list, check to see i don't miss side quests and secrets - that kind of thing - never use them for anything else - but if i've fought a boss over and over 100 times with no result - i get a bit frustrated so i quickly check what i'm missing - happens rarely - i usually go for the same tactic in any boss/enemy fight and win with ease - if it gets difficult i try everything out till it works
π: 0 β©: 1
I really want Sepheroth and Kain. I have a Dark Note where I can get Navy crystals, but I still need to practice before I can defeat the 3rd boss to get them. I don't know anything about Firion, but Cloud is my leader (for the fun of it, I put something like "increasingly popular SOLDIER" for my byline). I also need to unlock Aerith, but I have Rydia, Vivi, and a few others I can use. My current team is Cloud, Squall, Tidus, and Cecil. I hope I can get Curtain Call. Well, I'm at the end of Chapter 7 right now. I think I'm facing the final boss, but I'm not quite sure how to defeat it. I have Hope and Snow, and they are in Hope's hometown. They enter an area, and the flying boss appears. I'm finding it a bit hard to build up the enemy's bar because only one has a Ravager class. Their current classes are upgraded all the way.
Yeah. It's tune sticks in my mind after hearing it. I think there is Gary Oldman as Ignitus. Hmm... I'll have to see about that. I could try to look things up online to compare. There are all kinds of faqs and walkthroughs made by players. I will use my guidebook for the card game at least. I would like to get every card I can before the end of the game (Theatrhythm has a card collection, maybe they could make a similar minigame. If not for Theatrhythm, then for other FF titles).
π: 0 β©: 1
Fair enough - Crystals are easier to get in Curtain Call but there are a load of characters this time - over 60 - Firion is cool - he's the main character in 2 - he's a really awesome guy to play as in Dissidia awell - I'm guessing that Hope is the Ravager - so have Ravager (H) + Commando (S), Ravager (H) + Ravager (S), Medic (H) + Sentinal (S), Synergist (H) + Sentinel (S), Synergist (H) + Commando (S) and i guess a 6th one could be Medic (H) + Commando (S) - the beginning of the battle i would have it as Synergist + Commando - obviously switch to Medic + Sentinel for big attacks - if it's gonna be a small attack then just Synergist + Sentinel - do that until you have enough buffs - then go to Ravager + Ravager - switch between that and Ravager + Commando - since attacking will slow down the Stagger gauge - just repeat all this and you'll fill up the stagger in no time - when it does stick to Ravager + Commando
Yeah i sometimes use FAQs depending on what i need - just something quick - i almost got all the cards in the first Theatrhythm game - in Curtain Call it's the same - those last few cards take a while to pop up - that would be cool if there were a new card game in a recent FF - they could even extend it to online - where you can compete against others online or even trade cards - would be fun
π: 0 β©: 1
That's another reason I want Curtain Call. I read somewhere that, on the first game, you can only get Kain and Sepheroth from Dark Notes. So that is exactly what I'm doing. I'm not sure what the (H) and (S) mean, and I can't go Ravager + Ravager. Snow Does not have a Ravager class. So the only way I can work on the Bosses Stagger Gauge is if I go Commando + Ravager. Maybe Snow will get a Ravager class after this, but he does not have one now. Snow doesn't have a Medic class either so I can't double dose on healing. My biggest defense (once I get buffs up) is to go Sentinel + Medic. I know about switching Ravager + Ravager and Commando + Ravager, but I don't have that option. I think I'm stuck building the Stagger gauge slowly.
It would be really fun to try out a minigame like that. If they do that, I think they should have cards kind of like the cards in the Theatrhythm game.
π: 0 β©: 1
The H and the S stand for Hope and Snow respectively - just made it easier for myself for not having to type out their names over and over lol - Couldn't remember what Paragidms they had lol - but i think it's in chapter 11 - i could be wrong -Β but they all can learn all 6 jobs
That would be really fun and awesome if they did that
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I see. I was actually wrong about Snow not having a Ravager Class, I just needed to set up the paradigm myself. lol I was was able to defeat the boss, and I later encountered a boss I was supposed to lose against (just Hope by himself...). Either way, I'm making steady progress right now.
By the way, of all the 13 characters, Hope is my favorite. I feel a lot of sympathy for him. Lightning is secluded and mysterious, Sazh is also someone I can sympathize with, but I never understood his intentions until later on in the story. Vanille is annoyingly optimistic (there is an optimism I admire, but V takes it to a different level. lol). Snow is very stubborn, but he has heart. Fang is still completely new to me. But I seemed to connect with Hope's story right away. Hope has good reason for his hatred of Snow and Sanctum, and the voice actor has a lot of that emotion (I'm not saying the others don't, but Hope just connected for me as my favorite character).
It would be indeed. FF8 fans could use what they learned from the game, and hopefully it is as easy to get the hang of as it was in 8.

Yeah it's a bit slow in the beginning but once everyones together it quickens up a bit - they'll be many bosses waiting for you lol (including hunts) - theres 64 in total
He is? - i don't really have a favourite in 13 but if i had to pick one then probably Sazh - he's cool - in 13-2 i love Caius and Noel - they're awesome - that game is my fav out of the trilogy - i got addicted to it - it's so good - it's much shorter than 13 though since 13-2 took me about 100hrs to 100% whereas 13 took 200hrs - as for Lightning Returns i have yet to finish it - on my 2nd playthrough (before the final boss you have a choice to go back to the start of the game and do everything again - can get much stronger then and do things you missed etc.) - wasn't strong enough to beat the final boss so decided to go through it again - the games ok - the main story i find lackluster and very cheesy and forced at times - so i'm not really fond of it - the side quests though are much much more interesting
It may even turn into an event/competition lol
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm still getting used to paradigms, and the way they use the classes. Techniques are also new for me (especially the fact that the only ways to regenerate them is through battle or item). I remember when I could just use materia and some MP to summon at anytime during the battle. Speaking of which, the Eidolons themselves are completely new for me. At this time I only have the Shiva Sisters and Odin, but having them turn into something the character can mount, that's one thing I'm still trying to get used to.
Yeah, Hope actually got more likable for me when I reached his house and met his father. Now I'm where Sazh and Vanille are in the City of Dreams (I forgot the name). I haven't explored any of it yet, but It's beginning to remind me of the Golden Saucer in 7. Sazh is my second favorite of the group. I also like the Chocobo chick Sazh has around in his afro. I don't know who Caius or Noel are, I wonder if they're in the first game. Is 13-2 and Lightning Returns on the xbox 360? If they are, I could play them if I find copies of them. That option about starting over new would have been so helpful on games I love to play. Borderlands has something like that, where after you beat the game, you can restart with the enemies beginning at your level, and there are better loot. In Borderlands, you can still play on the first playthrough for DLC quests and other stuff.
If they made into an event or competition, they need the card game music from 8. lol

Yeah i was slow when i first started 13 but the more i played the more it was easy to switch - became faster at it - the also made it much smoother in the 2 sequels - in 13 its a very slow transition when switching - in 13-2 its quicker - LR its instant - yeah abilities are very limited - the Eidolons are different to previous FF's but they are cool to use - the others you'll get are awesome - the opening scene for chapter 12 - it involves all the characters and Eidolons - one of the best scenes - so look forward to it
Oh - in Nautilus then - that place is cool - its a real shame that chapter is very very short and you can't revisit it :l - Sazh is hilarious - love the chocobo chick
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm starting to get used to the battle system, but I still haven't played a game with the same kind of fighting style before (X-2 is the closest, but it's still not the same). I'm also not used to calling summons "Eidolons" (I never used that term until 4's remake). I can't wait until chapter 12 now. I think I may have seen glimpses of what you're talking about. 13's EMS in Theatrhythm shows something like a race (I think Cid snaps his fingers at the beginning of it). Then it shows some of the main characters and their Eidolons (like lightning being launched by Odin).
Nautilus looks fun, but I'm at the very beginning at the very first save point. Sazh has been hilarious since the beginning of the game. The Chocobo chick is one of the most realistic chocobos I've ever seen. Apparently it must be very comfortable to live in Sazh's afro lol. It's alright if you don't know any xbox releases. The addition of multiple endings would be fun to try out, like a choose-you're-own-adventure stories.Β

What i like about FF is that they're not afraid to experiment - so in every one - the battle system is a bit different - mixes it up a bit and it's more interesting - the ATB gauge is similar to most FF's where you have to wait until it fills up before your character can attack - but 13 changes it up a bit - i always just call them summons with any FF - makes it easier - but if i'm going into detail then i'll call them by their respective term - Esper, Aeon, Eidolon etc. - will be able to distinguish which one i'm talking about then - ahh yeah - forgot about those EMS in Theatrhythm - they do kinda spoil a few things if you haven't played the game 
Spend as much time as you can in that place lol - your only there for like 10 mins

Yep - and that's just one small area of the game - the world itself is 20x bigger that of what was shown in the demo - and that place was huge!!

That is great. One of the things I loved in 4, 7, and 8, is that you have an entire world to explore (3 worlds if you're talking about 4). I think there are times for a linear plot, but I just love to explore.
π: 0 β©: 1
So do i - being able to have the entire world given to you to explore is amazing - talking about this reminds me of the recent Xenoblade Chronicles X - it'll be out soon - never played any game in the series but have always wanted to play the previous game on the Wii - it's definitely something i plan on playing sometime down the line - its acclaimed to be one of the best JRPGs ever made - and from what i've seen is humongous-ly huge! - X looks incredible - and you have the entire thing to yourself - not sure if you've heard or it or seen any footage - but it really blows you away - www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvpNXhβ¦

Β Those locations look amazing. I've heard of Xenoblade, but I don't have a Wii U... I think there is a possibility at least one of them is for the 3DS, I certainly hope so.

They did port over the Wii version to the New 3DS - so you can't play it on the standard one - but tbh - i would prefer to have it on the Wii - playing it on the big screen would make the experience that much better

They could try both Wii U and 3DS. Monster Hunter and Super Smash Bros both have features that allow the games on different systems to interact with each other. For example, someone could start playing Super Smash Bros on the Wii U, then someone else could jump on Super Smash Bros for the 3DS. If they wanted to, both people can connect with each other and battle. I don't have a Wii U, so I never tried it out. It would be fun if Xenoblade for both systems and used that same multiplayer capability.

All i know it's a freakin huge game - in the new one i remember one of the creators mentioning that he's clocked in over 300hrs and still haven't finished everything - so this is a game that'll probably have you hooked for over 500hrs maybe lol - i spent over 550hrs in the first Dissidia game so i think i'm up for loosing that amount of time again lol xD

Awesome, I love large maps. Does Dissidia have maps? I don't know how Dissidia is played.
π: 0 β©: 1
The first one doesn't - but the 2nd one they did implement a world map - it's not that amazing though - hopefully they improve it for the 3rd game - coming to the PS4 in a year or 2 - Dissidia is basically a fighting game with the main characters - good and bad from each main installment - in the first game there were up to 22 characters - the 2nd added alot more - it has it's own story - it's basically - the Goddess Cosmos and the God Chaos fought against each other - there were 13 wars in total - whoever won could rule the worlds - so if Cosmos won everything would be at peace - and of course with Chaos it would be the opposite - they both gathered warriors from different worlds to help them win - the first game takes place in the 13th and last war - the 2nd game in the 12th war - so i like how they're working their way backwards - although we know how it ends we don't know much about how it began and who fought in the beginning and previous wars - since in each war there were different warriors - we find out that Tidus (from X) - didn't come in until the 12th war and he was actually on Chaos' side - in the 13th war he was on Cosmos' side - and with some of the warriors in the 12th war we find out what happened to them since they weren't in the 13th - e.g Kain, Yuna, Lightning.... - as we go back in the wars i'm hoping for Seymour (FFX), Zack (perhaps he'll be there before Cloud came in), even Noctis (FF15) - theres loads of characters they can choose from - this video is an example of what its like - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAaLgaβ¦ - and what the battle system it like - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUPd_Yβ¦

Cosmos and Chaos seems to have this kind of war in the Theatrhythm games. I don't know if it's part of any of the wars, but I can see it working as part of a war for Rhythmia crystals (Look at all the FFs that use crystals). I wonder if they should Vincent with his Limit break, Chaos. If I could I would use Chaos on Chaos lol. I love how the Limit Breaks are a lot like their original form. Tifa keeps her slot machine style, Squall's Limit Break is activated the same way, etc. Both videos are awesome.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah - the theatrhythm games are kinda linked to Dissidia - like a different universe - but all the same characters - you can fight as Feral Chaos in the 2nd Dissidia game - basically a wild version of Chaos himself - yeah that's what i love about them - they're pretty epic - my favourites Sephiroths' - if you have the song One Winged Angel playing when you fight - at the end of his Ex Burst you see him pop up from the bottom and look towards you - if it's timed right - alot of the time when he pops up - its at the moment in the song when his name is said - so he pops up and ''SEPHIROTH!!'' xD
