if i were to buy some games on my ps3, how difficult would it be to play them (with the same save) on a psp or vita?

Very easy. Connect your PSP or Vita to your PS3 and just transfer the save file over. Not sure if PS1 classics are supported by PS+ cloud saves.

I know Zelphyr posted screens somewhere but I can't seem to find them.

 

[jwk94]

Alright gaf which of these is better?

DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY (PSP)
DISSIDIA DUODECIM PROLOGUS FINAL FANTASY (PSP)
DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY (PSP)

 

[Narolf]

Dissidia 012 and Prologus if you want Aerith.

 

[Coins]

Noob question. Which ones were the SNES games that were renumbered? They were 3 and 4 on the SNES, right? I'll revisit them for 5 bucks a pop.

I have no clue who that is.

SNES FFII is FFIV
SNES FFIII is FFVI

I have no clue who that is.

Flower girl in FFVII

 

[ascii42]

I have no clue who that is.

Aeris from FFVII, with a lisp.

 

[Ryu bogard]

I might give FF IX another try. I remember not liking it when it first came out.

 

[MooMoo]

I seem to recall something about slowdown in some of these games. Is that true/which games does this apply to?

The PS1 ports of FFV and FFVI (plus War of the Lions when it comes to spell animations but there's a CFW fix for that)

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Aerith_Gainsborough/Dissidia

oh! The girl who died. Yeah, I've seen her. So 012 is the definitive version then? Isn't prologus like a paid demo?

 

[Narolf]

Prologus is a paid demo that grants you of two features once you've got the definitive version, 012, those being Aerith and an Elixir pack.

 

[Bread]

haven't played a ff, which ia the best one?

 

[Narolf]

FFVII>FFVIII>FFIX

Rest were drafts.

 

[katsubento]

I'll pick up VI and iX for my Vita. Never played IX.

 

[Ephidel]

Anyone know if the US version of FFV is Vita compatible yet?
It still isn't showing up the store, but maybe through PS3 transfer? Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but the EU version works.

 

[The Last One]

FFVII>FFVIII>FFIX

Rest were drafts.

NOOOOO!

FF IX > FF VII > FF VIII

=p

 

[Narolf]

That one is the consensus, yeah.

DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY (PSP)
DISSIDIA DUODECIM PROLOGUS FINAL FANTASY (PSP)
DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY (PSP)

After you clear the main story of 012 you can play a better version of the first Dissidia in it, rendering the first game useless at this point.

 

[QP3]

Well, now seems like a good time to grab one of these. Never owned a play station.

Are any of them action RPGs? Also, I live customizing players, stats, abilities, etc. any recommendations?

 

[Narolf]

Dissidia is, but it doesn't have a story.

 

[MooMoo]

The PS1 ports of FFV and FFVI (plus War of the Lions when it comes to spell animations but there's a CFW fix for that)

Coolio. Was thinking about grabbing FF9, so I'm glad to see that isn't part of the list. Might grab 8 and 7 and omgmightaswellbuythemall!

 

[Sandfox]

I kind want to pick up Dissidia 012 and all of the mainline games in spite of load times(though I'm kinda iffy on IV since I have the DS version) but why isn't III on sale?

 

[Seda]

None of the mainline games here are action RPGs, as in you don't control your characters movements in battle and pick options from a list. Dissidia is different, but it's more a fighting game with RPG elements. Perhaps look into Dissidia 012.

 

[Yawnier]

I've never played a Final Fantasy game before, aside from 12.

So, if I were to pick up any 2 or 3 of these games (that are PS3 compatible, so not Dissidia or War of the Lions) which FFs would you guys suggest?

 

[rockx4]

Does FFV work on the Vita yet?

VII and IX. VIII is the one you get to actually play in the least out of those three.

 

[Kandinsky]

Ohhh this is great, I was just thinking about replaying the best Sony era FF, nice timing.

VII, VIII and IX.

I'd recommend VI too, but the PSone version is horrible.

 

[Freshmaker]

People, this is your last chance (for a while) to sell me on VIII and IX. I know very little about either game. I tried to play the PC version of VIII once a few years ago and nearly fell asleep during the tutorial on GMs.

I'm not sure why I'd care enough to sell you on either.

Also IX is the nastiest looking PS game ever made.

6 definitely and then 7 and 9 unless you want to play the first two.

Hmm ok thanks. I probably still pick at least one up, I am overdue to try these anyways.

 

[Narolf]

Yes.

She was only missing IV and V, but they do work.

 

[ULTROS!]

Definitely picking up FFIX now.

 

[hitmon]

Looks like I might be buying FFVII and VIII again..

 

[Yawnier]

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm probably going to go with VII and IX since I've heard positive things about both of those games.

Perhaps VI and VIII as well, but I have to look into both of them a bit more first.

[Kyon]

Definitely picking up FFIX now.

As a fellow FF-Gaf bretheren you should be ASHAMED of yourself for not having it already


@Narolf what are those settings for Duodecim? It doesn't look that good like the video on my vita ;__;

 

[Narolf]

He has at the right at it. He got to play XIII-2 before IX after all.

 

[jayb]

The ps blog needs to start linking their games they talk about to the web store. It's amateur hour over there.

 

[Vane_MagicCity]

anybody? i would buy a vita or psp instantly if i can do this.

PS1 game saves can be transferred between the two.

 

[RedSwirl]

Can't be bothered to sell you on it. If you don't want to even take a chance, a small chance too at only $5 a pop, at two of the most critically acclaimed games on the PS1 then that's on you!

I hear VIII has been very divisive though, and I had kind of a hard time coming to grips with the PC version, but that was probably over 10 years ago.

 

[Pachterballs]

No prices, expect disappointment.

whats even playable? couldn't get into FFVIII - slooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[Vane_MagicCity]

I might give FF IX another try. I remember not liking it when it first came out.

It's even slower now.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I must say that sony entertainment network website is snazzy and easy to use.

I owned VII for a while but never really played it much so I think I'm going to get that for sure. Then maybe VIII or IX. And I might just bite the bullet and buy VI even though it's not really that good. I don't want to pay $40+ for the GBA version.

 

[Raziel]

I'd go with 7/8 over 7/9. 8 has a certain creative energy coming off of 7 that 9 lacks, and some classic moments. 9 gets a lot of love for its throwback concept alone, but its not a very notable or memorable installment in the series IMO.

You don't have to IMO that one because it's true. IX was a great tribute to old-school FFs, but that's all what it was.
