Nope what I said was "I hate having to choose which game I want from the start up screen. That's why I hated the GBC remakes of DWI&II so much."
I never said anything about a GBC disc. Does it make sense to you now?
Sounds like a cheap flame to me.
I'll mark it down as another success. What should our next project be?

That doesn't really sound like a cheap flame. It sounds like he gave his opinion on what you said, something that, the last I checked, we here in America could do (you never know though, what with the new "anti-terrorism" laws and the retarded war effort, it might not be true anymore). Anyway, the last I recall, a flame was defined as a personal attack on the author of a post, not an opinionated response to what that person stated within his post.
God I hate that stupid "freedom of speech" thing I always see preached on message boards............
But anyway, back on topic, I think Squaresoft made a good decision bringing these two remakes to America, considering probably 90% of Americans have never played Final Fantasy 2 LEGALLY and Final Fantasy 1 has a horrible save battery on almost every cartridge in America.
Why do you have to go and flame the war effort like that?
Ahh, reusable jokes.

Sounds pretty accurate to me. ?You said something dumb, he called you on it. ?:shrug:
I wonder about when we'll see more old school RPG's.....?
Anyone got any good ideas for remakes of old games?
FF Tactics 2..... Bahamut Lagoon..... Dragon Warrior 5 and 6.... Dragon Warrior 1 - 4 collection(... for a major system like PS2 or Gamecube...)
Anyone else?

I started playing the first Final Fantasy when I was 5, and I've been hooked ever since.
Still, my favorite RPG of all time, and the one I wish they would make a sequel to is: Earthbound
Earthbound was the coolest RPG ever!
Don't you guys agree?
I keep wondering what's up with the FF3j GBA remake. C'mon Square! I'd like to be able to play that one! Finish it and let us have it!

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td class="QUOTE"So, since I don't know a bloody thing about any FF before 4, can somebody tell me if it's really worth playing? I'd like to play it just so I can see what the first FF's were like, but that's it. Considering what else is coming out over the year, I'm not sure if I should buy it; can you all lend a hand?[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
As far as time goes, I really don't think that these will be that much of a worry. ?FF1 is, on the order of some of today's games, rather short. ?It is composed of basically six major quests that although varying, shouldn't take you more than 4-5 hours a piece to complete.
FFII is a little bit longer and more even in the quest lengths, which are once again divided into six pieces. ?If I remember right, and its been a while, the whole game took me something like 30-40 and I tend to fight a decent amount.
In regards to fun...FFI is a stark change from modern gaming. ?Not to say its unfun, just different. ?The plot is minor, the dungeon crawls are a major component, and the fighting system is basically characters running forward, making motions with their hands, and monsters taking damage. ?They may have spiced it up however.
FFII was somewhat different. ?It was basically like FFI in regards to the battle system, but it had a plot. ?From what I recollect, the leveling in FFII was kind of like Saga Frontier's, but without the randomness that drove you crazy. ?It basically used a system where you did actions a bunch and got stats for it. ?Its been a long time, but looking on GameFaqs it seems basically like I remembered it.
Far as the FMV's go, I don't think I would purchase them based solely on this due to the quality which was displayed during the playstation remake FF's. ?However, opinions may differ here.
Really is a shame FFIII hasn't been released yet as it was quite enjoyable and the true bridge into modern FF gaming. ?It was the first with a class system (which was very complex), it was the first with summoners/espers, and it even had the equivalent of an Imp (FF6).
Anyhow, hope that helps you choose.

I would agree with your explanation of FFIIj, but I'd like to add a bit. FFIIj did indeed have a plot, including plot twists, which, considering the time frame, were quite novel. The plot itself would be much more interesting if the growth system had been balanced with it. Not only was growth excruciatingly slow, but stats could also be LOWERED if you didn't battle just right. It is the growth system that really brought the NES version of this game down, but I wouldn't be surprised if Square has fixed it up some to make it fit better. If that is the case, I would definitely recommend it.
As for FFIIIj, I definitely recommend playing it should it ever come out in America. Once you do, you'll understand why I think that FFIV - and especially FFV - were effectively copycats... but that's a whole 'nother thread
I do believe that Final Fantasy Origins will be worth getting, and when FFIII is finally released in America, it will be even more so.

I don't actually agree that the progression was this bad. There were a number of tricks you could use to level faster than straight fighting. However, if they "fix" this they may actually make it worse by taking out some of the bugs. Kind of like MVC2.
