Final Fantasy 4-9

Vagrant Story

Thanks for this! Very helpful.

 

[Ruruja]

Dragon's Dogma, Resonance of Fate, Yakuza 4 and Catherine for £22. Not bad.

 

[Tyrus]

Thinking of grabbing for my Vita:

• 
  Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
  The 3rd Birthday
  Vagrant Story

Any opinions on these? Worth it with the discounts?

Also, what's the difference with Lunar: SSH versus its two earlier counterparts on GBA and PS1?

 

[Jomjom]

Damn what a great sale. Way better than our shitty sonic sale.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
*3 games in one. Also comes with the JP dub, meaning you get the glorious voice of Norio Wakamoto as Dracula. Just go grab a Save file off Gamefaqs.com or somewhere, throw it into your Vita and you can play the OG Rondo of Blood.
Oh and this is an action adventure game, so get in on this ish.

Whats the difference between this and symphony of the night?

are the graphics and performance vastly improved?

I already own sotn but it this is a better version i might 'double dip'

 

[Deleted member 10571]

PS4 or PS3


Cause if it is PS3 Scholar then you aren't getting the full changes, just the dlc and one extra boss fight

PS4

Um you probably have to google the locations of two of the three keys you need.

The key to Frozen Crown you will find on your normal journey but Iron and Sunken are a bit out of the way

Alrighty!
Might do that then.

 

[WITHE1982]

Now that a goddamn sale!!

Final fantasy X/X-2 HD vita get, Metal Gear Solid HD collection get.

Damn it I only bought Okami HD for £12 two days ago... C'est la vie

Also a great time to grab the team ico HD collection for £8

Edit: Dayum I'm gonna finally grab Vanquish as well.

Edit2: also Sword Art Online. Sony what are you doing to me!

All I can tell you right now is that
1- EU PS1 ver. is apparently the 50 Hz one.
2- It has the cheesy english dub
3- It does not have the glorious voice of Norio Wakamoto
4- The one in DXC has stuff that was removed in the original English release IIRC

It's really up to you at this point, I personally settled on the DXC since it was 3 games in 1, I don't think you'll miss out on anything by not getting the PSX ver. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut and I'd need someone to confirm this for me: The one in the PSP ver. fixed some of the wacky stuff that was in the PSX ver.

Hell even if you already have SotN, get it since you're getting 2 good Castlevania games =)

 

[Seanspeed]

I think I'll pick up the Ico+SoC HD pack on PS3. Never played any of these games, so I wanna check out what the fuss is about from this team.

3rd Birthday has good gameplay but the story is trash I hear. Vagrant Story is 50 Hz, in fact avoid it since it messes up the combat lol.

Lunar SSH on PSP has changes from the PSX ver. from what I can recall the iOS and PSP ver. are the essential versions of Lunar 1.

 

[Shahed]

Gonne get Oreshika and both Suikodens. Never played them. How is the Atelier series? I tried Rorona briefly on PS3, but the time limit annoyed me too much. Is that removed on the remake and in the future games?

 

[TheCrackInTime]

For someone who's never played a Final Fantasy game before, would X/X-2 HD be a good starting point?

 

[SomTervo]

Judging from what I've seen of your tastes/opinions, Sean, I'm not sure you'll enjoy them much. But they (at least Shadow of the Colossus) are absolutely worth experiencing.

Ico is beautiful and has some great puzzles but it's also incredibly dated and janky in terms of controls/mechanics. Shadow of the Colossus is phenomenal and I still love it, top #1-#2 GOAT for me, but it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

 

[YianGaruga]

For someone who's never played a Final Fantasy game before, would X/X-2 HD be a good starting point?

Yes. FFX is a very beginner friendly RPG (and one of the best FFs, don't let anyone tell you otherwise)

 

[Pearson]

YES! I was |----| this close to buying Final fantasy X for vita the other day..

One of my GOATs!

 

[Tizoc]

For someone who's never played a Final Fantasy game before, would X/X-2 HD be a good starting point?

Yes they are. Heck just about any FF (that isn't FF13) is a good starting point.

 

[The Boat]

I wish my PS3 wasn't dead.

 

[Bishop89]

All I can tell you right now is that
1- PSX ver. on EU PSN should be the 60 Hz ntsc ver.
2- It has the cheesy english dub
3- It does not have the glorious voice of Norio Wakamoto
4- The one in DXC has stuff that was removed in the original English release IIRC

Awesome, I'll grab it then. Thanks!

 

[Kikujiro]

Is One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 worth it or should I just wait for the third one?

 

[nubbe]

the real stuff

DYNASTY WARRIORS: GUNDAM Reborn

 

[Tizoc]

Is One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 worth it or should I just wait for the third one?

wAIT FOr the 3rd one I say.

 

[oneida]

if you buy vf, buy the complete edition
FS stands for fashion show

 

[Insert Disk Two]

Akiba's Trip (PS4) for 25 Euro. Yay or nay?

 

[Kaybe]

All I can tell you right now is that
1- PSX ver. on EU PSN should be the 60 Hz ntsc ver.

Just wanted to say that this is incorrect, it's the European version.
So if anyone wants to play SotN, buy Dracula X Chronicles or the US version from the US store if you're playing on a PS3.

Edit: Wait a sec... when did you change it?

 

[Tizoc]

Akiba's Trip (PS4) for 25 Euro. Yay or nay?

PC ver. can run at 60 FPS with some simple tinkering.
If you don't think your PC can run it, grab the PS4 ver.

 

[WITHE1982]

I'm kinda stuck between YS Seven and Oath in Felghana.

They're both on sale for £2.40 but it's more a question of having time to play them. Which is the better game and more story based?

FYI: I've only played Ys1 & 2 chronicles and memories of Celceta in the Ys series so far.

You don't play Ys games for the story.
You play them for the combat, boss fights and epic soundtracks.
Get all of them
All of them

Spoiler

You could get just Ys OiF (Ys 3), but then you'll regret not getting the others on sale as well

 

[Neo-Saiyan]

Was thinking of getting FFV the other day, at this price it's a no brainer!

 

[Mephala]

How is Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment? What is lure here? Is it an action RPG with good combat? Story? Is it similar to any other games? Is it a good game for single player? Is it worthwhile if you didn't watch the anime?

Ugh. Still no Muramasa DLC deal. Could someone confirm if it's ever been on sale before? I think it has but I am not certain.

Yeah, I was really hoping to get the DLC too. Those that haven't played Muramasa I highly recommend it. Beautiful art and a pretty relaxing action game.

Ah so Ys: OiF is a remake of Wanderers from Ys? I didn't have a clue. Guess I'll grab that one...

Spoiler

and Ys Seven as well to follow.

 

[Tizoc]

^Good choice, when I got into Ys I started with OiF then straight into Seven =)

Was thinking of getting FFV the other day, at this price it's a no brainer!

Careful
It's 50 Hz and runs like molasses. If you don't mind that, dive right in and hopefully you enjoy it =3

All I know is that the gameplay is good and that it has penetrations.

Oath in Felghana is the better game, and also isn't bloated at a trim 15 hours or so, but I preferred the story in Seven.

 

[Mephala]

Is there a way to tell which games are 50 Hz from the store?

Tizoc plz. Penetration? O__O;

 

[BradleyLove]

Are the PS1 games 60hz?

 

[Tizoc]

^Majority are 50 Hz, check the previous page for a post on which ones are 50 Hz, namely the PS1 FF games

Is there a way to tell which games are 50 Hz from the store?

Generally games that aren't PAL ver. would have a US or JPN flag next to their icon.
Otherwise assume the rest are 50 Hz.

Tizoc plz. Penetration? O__O;

Penetrations

 

[parkinho]

On the Vita, both Ninja Gaiden games are part of the sales. Two questions:
- are these versions any good?
- which is the better game?

FWIW I've had very limited experience with the NG series but I am a massive fan of character action games, particularly Platinum's output.

Cheers!

The ports are fine from what I've seen but are locked at 30 FPS IIRC.

They're OK, but if you could get their PS3 versions, get those instead.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Can anyone point me to a thread for creation of a EU PSN account for someone in the US? Can't find one.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hmm. I was thinking about getting FFVII but if it's that bad.... :/

 

[Duster]

Time to complete my potential purchases according to HLTB
Suikoden – 20
Suikoden II – 43
Breath Of Fire 3 - 46
TiTs - 50


PS Blog says
Oreshika – 100

I'm a couple of hours into
FF Tactics – 63

I'll probably have to ditch Suikoden, seems safe to do even if it's not ideal.

That still leaves 300 hours!

If I do buy all those games I think I'll be set for a while.

 

[Tsunamo]

Been a long time since the PAL store's had a sale i've been interested in, but god damn is this a good one.

Oreshika, Ys IV/Seven and Suikoden 1/2 for about $50 seems like a really good haul to me.

 

[Tizoc]

Can anyone point me to a thread for creation of a EU PSN account for someone in the US? Can't find one.

Are you on PS3 or PS4? If on a PS3, just make a new e-mail address and create a new account on your PS3 setting the region to UK/England.
Then just use a random address and boom you're in business.

 

[Stallion Dan]

Seems like a good sale until you realise are about 5 items that haven't been discounted before, and many of them for far better discounts.

 

[KaneU]

I fucking hate that FF XIII is not on PSN, I would really like to play the series...

Question for gaffers: Can I just jump into XIII-2? Will I understand the story without playing the first one? Is XIII-2 the better game?

 

[Raphael]

How the hell have they omitted peace walker psp version? After seeing mgs v last week I have decided I will buy it on the nearest sale - and was quite excited to see that there is already one with mgs in it. But nooooo.

 

[Tailzo]

Better than buying full price, so I bought 5 games I knew I'd buy sooner or later for Vita.

FF13-2 literally retcons the story of 13. That or disregards it completely.
The story's ridiculous anyway just go in for the combat/gameplay.
