I want to get them all done asap but I have a very intimidating backlog across 5 platforms lol. I will definitely enjoy playing all the games, including CC. I use ePSXe emulation on my laptop and then VGA cable it to an LED monitor, since I don't have a PS1 at college with me

You should play 9 while 7 and 8 are still fresh in your head (if you gona play it anyway that is). 9 is a very different journey form 7 and 8, its very similar to 4 in tone and how the world looks and feels Id say, would be interesting to play it now and see what you think after what youve seen on 7 and 8. Also Nobuo Uematsu clains that FF9s OST is his best work ever, I tend to prefer 8s soundtrack mostly because I love Maybe I Am a Lion/The Extreme (Griever and Ultimecia final form songs respectively) and the Landing (song that plays when youre starting your Seed exam) but I put 9s OST at the same level as 7s.

Glad you enjoyed this game & i enjoyed reading your review. :)

I have this game in my shelf, but sadly, i didn't even finish the game. ^^

try alundra next ;)

They're actually around the same length.

Pretty much, although it's worth it ;)

But I suggest you take a break and play something else for a bit. I'm afraid that you'll play FFIX and get burnt out. That's happened to me plenty of times with other RPGs and I think you're experience with FFIX should deserve better.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night?

after you watch that you'll never hear that track the same way... it made me so nostalgic about ff8 XD

Well i do recall you telling me that you prefered playing LOD on the PS1 because the PS3 version didnt look like the original one, so i thought most of the reasons why you didnt played games on new systems was becasue most of the time they look worse than the the original version, but if its just because you like playing it "the old style" its ok, i guess that makes you a "Pure Retro Gamer".

Dammit BraLoD! I've just got the Ragnarok and was hoping to beat you to the end
