Get rid of the borders with a mod and you get a really good version. Being able to speed up the game is a godsend for the random encounters.

Good price. I purchased this for £12.79 the day it released on Steam. I also have screenshots waiting months for it when Steam was messing around saying "Coming soon" then another screenshot saying it would release on January "Jan 2016". Haven't played much though. I will play the PS1 version someday. Don't know why i bought the Steam version...

It's only 50% off, going to wait to see if the sale is square specific which makes this even cheaper.

A fairly decent port for my favourite game ever, heat! Shame there is no mac support though :disappointed:

Wish they'd make a ps4/vita version with trophies included. I'd complete it for the 3rd time :smiley:

The 30th Anniversary of Final Fantasy is meant to be releasing FF 1-9 next year in a special edition for PS4, along with mega collectors editions with varying content. Hoping it isn't JAP only but keep an eye out!

Which modern FF game would be a good entry into the series. I've never played one but they be must good. FF has been a franchise for as long as I can remember.

A good entry would be 7.
Sounds cliché but it's easily the most accessible title in the stores and generally the most popular.

I would say 9 or 10, 7 is my favourite but it might be hard to get used to the graphics on that one.

Amazing game - spent hours on this and story is great. Loved 7 but this is more quirky and fun imo.
