Re: Final Fantasy PSP games.
Sorry for the delay, I don't frequent the FF forums, hopefully you'll see this at some point.
I don't have acess to PSN (Thats playstation Network right?) My consol isn't hooked up to the internet because I don't have any Online games for it at the moment. I was going to do that when I got 14... another decision i'll have to make. straight up computer game or the playstation one. But right now i'm back tracking and catching up with the older games. so I'm not quite there yet.
I get that, I barely have access to the PSN myself. I have to buy using the my PC (yes, that's a thing you can do) and then download on the PS3 and pray it finishes.
And thanks for the help and advice. I will deffinately be guting the PSP versions now without any worry. They sound like the better buy , not only money wise, but game wise as well. but, waht do you mean by 2D and 3D . are you talking about the DS system. Or earlier game vs PSP version.
I'm talking about the DS version, yeah. The thing is: FFIV has a
crazy development history (there are something like 8-10 versions?), so I find it easier to draw a line between the 2D versions and the 3D versions. 2D versions are more faithful to the SNES, 3D versions are more faithful to the DS.
The After Years also has a 3D version, it's all very complicated and silly. If you want to know more, I can find you an article, but the 2D/3D divide will serve you well, and the article would make more sense once you've played the games!
Also, Will be getting the 3rd for DS. So far its the only american version i can find and Five i can only find on Advance. Hopfully this is correct. So i'll be playing 1-5 before I try finding 6-9 and i'll be all caught up with the FF games, minus the Online and Mobil games.
FFV is also on smart phones (iOS and Android) and the Playstation 1/PSN. The smart phone version is just a port of the GBA version, which is great because FFV GBA is probably the best version out there. Feel free to grab it. The GBA/smartphone version has an extended challenge dungeon and new post-game Job Classes, it's hard to beat.
You didn't mention FFVI, but it's a similar situation. It's also on GBA/smart phones and has a few challenge dungeons. Some fans don't like the new translation. I get that, but it's not so bad and I like the challenge dungeons. Fan favourite translation: SNES version. Less glitches and challenge dungeon: GBA/smartphone version.
FFIV is on GBA but it's a glitchy mess and shouldn't be touched with a twelve foot pole.
Thankfully things get easier starting with FFVII, since most games have only one major version.
