Think you can't equip Merit Award on Gau there, so no. You can do it on Gogo copying Rage though.

First I've heard of that one. I've only heard of the following theories regarding Gogo:

Umaro is not bad. With his custom Rage Ring he can dish out decent physical damage. Mileage with the Blizzard Orb varies.


That... that's a new Gogo theory I've not heard of.

I have heard that square is releasing a mega collection in Japan with them all together. that would be awesome, but transferring them all to digital emulations may bring more business.

By "all" of them, do you mean say, every one of the numbered ff games? Will it include tactics and other games like crystal chronicles? Or will they go full insanity, and release a console version of everything, including the gameboy to ds handhelds as well? If its the last one, I would pay just about any price to get my hands on it. That would be something like 28 titles all combined currently. Im lucky, in that I already have almost all of the numbered fantasy games with the consoles, because without a lot of ebay trolling, its hard to find copies anymore for a decent price. Too be able to fill in the gaps in my library and include all those random games from older systems would be priceless.

I will fully agree with this. I to have most of the numbered entries, but the ones that were released on Gameboy and other handhelds I actually don't have very many, and it would be so incredibly awesome to be able to own and play them all.

The link that I read was saying only numbered games across NES, SNES PS1-2. But Yes the WHOLE collection would be awesome. IDK if they will release int he US, and as of now i heard only japanese language, but it could be pretty epic. I think it was around 40-50,000 Yen


i saw it on an rpgfan website. Looking for the link...

As much as I love FF, I would never pay that (unless I were filthy rich).

11 games for between 320 and 400 UKP? Sounds reasonable enough to me - it's about what you'd pay for brand new games on release, particularly if you've never played or have lost the older games.

Of course if you have played most of the games or still own them, then the value diminishes dramatically.

Yeah, I have all of them except for II and III. With the current exchange rate that'd be about $600.

Moreso since you can play all the numbered ones, plus many others, on the PS2. In fact, other than the Game Boy ones (not counting the MMO), and the PS3 offering, I think the rest of the series can be played on the PS2.

Origins, Anthology, and Chronicles has 1-6, 7-13 (excepting the MMO) are either for the PS or PS2. Tactics was originally released for PS.

So yea, I'll just stick with my already complete collection.

Is this link reliable enough?

It has a recollection of all the items it has, such as all the numbered games (from I to XIII, including a game time card for XI), an art book and a soundtrack with selections from all games.

...Quite frankly, I'm more interested in OCRemix's unofficial recollection of FFVI's soundtrack. It has a Kickstarter going on, it's already funded, but it still allows extra funds and their stretch goals are pretty decent (you get 11 discs worth of music, what with FFVI, FFVII and FFIV remixes bundled in).

By the way: are you hopeful that FFXV will be the spark that makes the series shine again? Usually the games with multiples of 3 tend to revitalize the series (YMMV with FF XII, but no one can deny that the classic era of the series began with III, no one denies just how awesome VI was, and people fondly remember IX), and we definitely need a game without Nomura, Kitase and/or Nojima. Plead that this man directs XV, at least.

I'd be more interested if they at least went through the effort of bundling them together with an emulator on a smaller number of discs for PS3/360. I know that the box with like 50 discs is more impressive, but really I already own most of those games in their original format. For the most part I don't play them because it is inconvenient to hook up the PS2. I don't even really want/need any changes/updates to the games, just let me slide a disc into my current gen console and play the games, and they'd have my money. Meh.

Your PS3 can't play PS1 or PS2 games slotted into it?

Surely this is heresy, to have purchased a model incapable of such holy acts.

In all seriousness, this is why you bought the 80 GB version.

I'll go a step in the opposite direction and wish that it had all the games in their original format and a fancy box to hold them all, with all the extra stuff on current format discs!

But, yeah, definitely pretty. A friend of mine had this:
Spoiler

which is 4, 5 & 6 and much nicer looking than any of the US collections.

At a certain point, you aren't aiming at people who want to play the games, but people who have played them thousands of times and want a pretty box set to sit in their collection. While I personally tend to be function over form, I do appreciate the opposite and have been guilty of doing that sort of thing myself!
