I remember having the game guide for ff8 and 9 back in the day. The ff8 one was excellent. Ff9 wasn't so good because square was trying that awful "play online" thing. The guide was very bare bones because of it.

I remember that! I don't know whose stupid idea that was but I bet they aren't selling many guides anymore BECAUSE of online! Funny how that shot them in the foot

crazysammy3424d ago

I didnt even know this existed thanks!

hkgamer3424d ago

what is the point of a game guide in this day and age? actually i never really understood the point before.

Becuzisaid3424d ago (Edited 3424d ago )

I still buy guides for the elder scrolls games. Mainly just to learn more about the game and it's systems, not to help me get through missions.

hkgamer3424d ago

never played the elder scrolls game. does the game not teach you properly about the system?

i guess it makes sense to use guides to save time. i normally use a trial and error method.

Muzikguy3424d ago

I could see getting some just for the sake of it. It was pretty cool back in the day busting out the guide if you needed help with something or for grinding purposes. Now they're kind of a nuisance.... Like old newspapers lying around

Tempest3173423d ago

As a collector of all things gaming and a massive FF fan, I would love to have this. However the price is am immediate nope. I can buy 2 AAA brand new games, countless retro titles...or 3 strategy guides for games 15+ years old (and i already have the original strat guides for all 3). Ill pass thanks

Skate-AK3424d ago

Bummer, read the title wrong. I thought it was all three games and a guide.

Meryl3423d ago (Edited 3423d ago )

Well it's a possibility for them to port all three across to ps4, it would be an easy task for them to do. Although I'd prefer hd remakes so I hope they don't do this.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda8d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5235d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212135d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5234d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5234d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani34d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum35d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman35d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim35d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I disagree Batman
