Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Excalipoor. Obviously.
I've always been a fan of GILGAMESH'S gold Great Sword. Honestly a lot of weapons GILGAMESH wields are awesome in design.
I'm so tempted to jump on that PSN sale even though I own every single one of those Final Fantasy games except for Lightning Returns... some in multipule formats!
I've heard that some of those PS1 classics apparantly have bad loading times? I own FFVI -IX on PS3 and haven't noticed it at all, though.

The complete collection was my first time playing FFIV and I think it looks great. From what I can tell though, people seem pretty split on the updated look. I haven't seen it on Vita since I still have my PSP disc and haven't really had the desire to re-play it in a while.
I love it. I really dig the character portraits.
Chrono Trigger! I don't know anything about the mobile port though, but I had a lot of fun with the DS version. I think it has the most interesting gameplay of those titles.
Cecil going Super Saiyan every fight never gets old.

Gonna go with the good ol' Buster Sword.
Thank you! I've never played it so it should be extra fun!

Zidane's version of the Masamune is a favorite of mine.

And there is a glowy version too!
I'm playing FFX at 1.5x speed on an emulator. This is fun, what a way to replay the game.
Also made me realize that I've finished FFX only 2 or 3 times before. Weird, while it's not as good as the PS1 FFs, it's still an awesome game.
e: oh god lol my hairdo is almost exactly the same as gatta's
i'm so fucking anime
e2: there wasn't a way to display a unit list in battle, was there? i'm so goddamn annoyed how pressing up/down sometimes chooses between groups and some times between units in those groups

Er...that's a Naginata.
Bit of a difference compared to a Spear. (Which you usually poke with.)
Was always a bit partial to Brotherhood's design.
Dat water sword.
So, I think I'm ~10 hours in to FFIV. It's the original game as remade and included in The Complete Collection.
FFIV is one of a few games I had for the SNES (as FFII). I was a little kid, so I didn't play much of if all really, but I remember some if the broader strokes of it from what I did play and having seen it discussed online over the years.
This may as well be the first time I've played it and I think it's just lovely. The characters, the combat, the music. It's all quintessential Square. And oh man is it beautiful on Vita. I love the CG movies included in this version, too. The game is just completely living up to it's legacy for me and every time I play I end up going for longer than I'd planned. I'm about to go to
next.

The music to that game is quite lovely. Hard to find a track I dislike.

My personal favorite is FFVI's Lightsaber, er, Ultima Weapon
But I also really like FFVII's design for it:
Same here, Ultima Weapon is one of my favorite reoccurring weapons. Even in the Lightsaber incarnation.
Personal favorite design of it was the one in Final Fantasy VII, the Dissidia version didn't do it for me.

I always liked how the FF7 version blade always got duller in color with the less hp Cloud had. Just an incentive for me to keep him at max health always.

Every single one of them.

You just made that sound dirty
something something about swords already being a phallic symbol anyway something something
One day you'll wake up and that ultima weapon will have been bet at the collosseum for an Elixir against Mr. Chupon.

I'm really liking this version of Ultima Weapon. Almost everything about the art-style of A Realm Reborn: Final Fantasy XIV is so darn appealing. Still have not played it unfortunately. Hopefully there is a PS4 in my near future.
...you should probably get that looked at by a specialist.
The song playing during this boss battle is one of the best boss themes out there:

hello comrades. need opinions/suggestions
I had 10 bucks so i got FF9, and have $5 left. between the psone versions of Origins and 6 which is the better option?
BG info, i have already bought 7-9, Tactics, and don't really intend on getting WoTL since i already have the original (one can only play the opening to a game so many times). i'm open to other suggestions under 5 from that Square deal.

I'd take Final Fantasy VI over Origins.
will do. thank you
FFVI is my favorite game of all time, yet I do not recommend the PSOne version.
i've heard the stories. but the other options aren't available to me, and i like using my vita for psone games
FFVI is one of the best in the series, IMO! If not the best! I have the PSN version for my PSP and it's great to play on a handheld system. Go for it!
Final Fantasy II is also one of my favorites, but I think I'm alone in that. There's better versions of FFI and FFII than Origins.
FF1 PS1 IS the best version of it. The GBA port has new content (which I don't think is very good) and the overall difficulty got watered down to the point where the whole game is a cakewalk. The PS1 has all the modern reworkings while also keeping the difficulty at a way better level.
FF6 PS1 isn't bad if you don't have access to the other versions. It's the one that I first beat because the battery on my SNES cart died, still felt like I got the full experience out of it.

I think honestly the best (as in, least confusing) way to put it is get everything on Vita except X/X-2 HD which simply runs better on PS3 for obvious reasons.
In each case if those versions aren't the best, they're close, and having it all in one spot = secks. The unfortunate exception to the rule is FFVI, but at least it's not terrible (3D world map kupo!)
