If only this game dont suffer from all these things FFXIII suffer, things the fans keep repeating the last days, then might be a reason to buy a PSP, I believe that they can do much better job with Agito and the reason is the graphics, simply put FFXIII was poor and miss much because it was hard as Kitase say to make them on a HD console (if that's really the reason.. or lazy devs) so in Agito they can make towns, world map, give freedom to ppl for more exploration put some secrets and minigames and make it exactly how an FF game must be to carry the name.

I plan to buy a PSP for FFVII:CC and some other JRPG classics like Star Ocean 1,2 also Lunar & Valkyrie Profile games that didn't have the opportunity to play until now, so I hope this will be good to add it on my future collection :)

"I believe that they can do much better job with Agito and the reason is the graphics, simply put FFXIII was poor "

WAIT what ????? ff13 graphics are on the top of what is made by today standards especially considering it's a RPG not a action oriented game ...

CLOUD19835160d ago

sorry obviously you misjudge what i say and the reason is my poor english.. what I want to say is that FFXIII have gr8 graphics and it was hard to add some things like the designers say like towns for example or world map.. in Agito they wont have this problems so I expect to make the game more like the old games of the series.

dabri55160d ago (Edited 5160d ago )

I doubt anyone who hasn't gotten a chance to play even some of the titles you mentioned could claim they know anything about a true jrpg is. When did you even start playing RPGs? The ps2?

In all seriousness though. Play those games. You will love them. Also give Joan de ark a try. ;)

kraze075160d ago

Don't forget to buy Dissidia. It may be an action/jrpg but it's a must have for any psp owner.

CLOUD19835160d ago

catguykyou my first JRPG was FFVII in 1997 I have finish FF7,8,9,10,12 also Xenogears,Legend of Dragoon,Suikoden 2&3,Breath of Fire 3&4,Grandia 2,Star Ocean till the end of time, Disgaea 2, Granstream Saga, Legend of Legaia 1&2, Alundra, Tactics Ogre, Vandal Hearts II and more that probably cant remember right now, so what r u saying do I know what a true JRPG is? btw have in mind that I live in EU and many games never released here Valkyrie Profile is one good example..

I actually have faith in Agito, expecting it to be a very addicting game. I'm a bit worried about the soundtrack though (Ishimoto)...

silkrevolver5160d ago

Have they revealed that yet? Is it turnbased? Card Based? Tactic’s style?

labwarrior5160d ago

For exmaple the forest looks like a corridor with copied the same trees around everywhere, every area looks same in all its spots, the designer of the in game levels is a joke IMO and shoud be fired right away

New details:
- Holding defend to evade drains MP, doesn't last forever.
- The attack button is used for basic combos, weapons used are context driven based on equipped weapons and context settings the player selects.
- The skill button is used to do special attacks for the main weapon equipped.
- There will be advanced evasion and attack techniques depending on equipment and control input.
- You can use the sword barrier defensively in battle, you can do short warps in the battlefield, you can parry attacks.
- There will be lots of tactical aspects in battle for core games, like elemental weaknesses and so on.
- Noctis is the only playable character, but his unique combat style and how the party interacts with him in battles is what drives the entire battle system.

Will We Ever See Final Fantasy Agito In The West?

Final Fantasy Union: "This is a question that has been asked by Western gamers for quite a few years now, but we still sit no closer to having an answer than we did when Final Fantasy Agito XIII was first announced during E3 2006. Yes, you heard me, it has been that long since the fated announcement of the Fabula Nova Crystallis franchise.

A lot has happened since then. We have, of course, now seen the release of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (under the guise of Final Fantasy Type-0). We have also seen the release of Final Fantasy XIII sequels, in the form of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, as well as the recent release of Final Fantasy Agito as it was originally intended."

FF8 for me. The Lionheart was just too BEASTLY. =]

hkgamer4007d ago

I loved FF8 the most as well. Had to play through the game about 5 times to understand how the combat system works.
1st playthrough, I didn't understand the draw system so just used GF and boost through the whole game.
Probably my 10th(or maybe 20th) playthrough I understood the whole card system. Basically complete the game without leveling a single character.
My last playthrough I did was to only level up seifer and Edea, which made leveling through card obsolete.
My characters were way OP and could easily beat any lvl 100 characters on the island closest to heaven and hell.

Anyway, loved the variety of different play styles you could do to finish game.

I also loved FFXII because of the combat system, and also learnt the glitches to trick system to getting 100% chance to getting item from treasure chests. Must have spent 200+ hours on 1 single playthrough and still have yet to complete the game.

Ranma14007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

FF6
FF7
FF9
FF10 (first one i played)

All those are the 4 best, FF8- I didnt like the battle system

jsslifelike4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

FFIX would jump straight to the top of the list for me. Not only did it show what the PS1 was capable of nearing the end of the generation, but it also brought with it two of the greatest FF characters- Vivi and Steiner. STEINER WAS A BEAST. Plus, equipment-based character class growth instead of that crappy DRAW command in VIII.

So, what are some of anyone's favorite FF CHARACTERS of all time? Here are my top 3:

3. Adelbert Steiner
2. Seifer Almasy
1. Auron

Larry L4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

6
1 (remake)
9
7
10

I like these all pretty equally, even with 1's lack of story....it's just great, and kinda made better by 9, and 9 is made better by 1. It's an interesting circle those two games create.

ritsuka6664007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

What is Your Favorite Final Fantasy Game of all Time?"

I believe Final Fantasy XIII was the best FF ever. It had the best story, the best characters and boss battle used every member in your party just to kill it.

FF7 only gets a lot of props because it was the first FF to go 3D. If they made other FF's in 3D they would kill FF7.

McScroggz4006d ago

:D

Tell me another joke!

Aceman184007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

Final Fantasy 6 which was FF3 on the SNES. Followed by FF9 and FF4 on SNES.

these 3 games are my favorite FF games of all time.

i have replayed these games more than any other FF games in the series.

Crazy Larry4006d ago

You're an educated gamer. I hate hearing opinions on this question from gamers who haven't even played the entire series. I COMPLETELY agree; 6, 9, 4 are my top three also. You can't have a proper opinion if you haven't played the entire series.

Aceman184006d ago

@crazy

yea these 3 games in this franchise just has a special place in my heart. for me they have heart and soul.

i think those that disagree with us probably started playing the franchise with FF7.

Mottsy4006d ago

@ Crazy you don't like hearing opinions from gamers on a game commenting website. Fair enough.

I have not played the entire serious but I did enjoy FF4, X, 6,7

Never been a fan of the series but I do wonder how the sales figures went throughout the series.

ltachiUchiha4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

They actually use to do very well. The oldd ff games blow the new ones out of the water quality wise & sales wise.

FF 7= 9.8 million. FF 8= 8.15 million (somehow I didn't really like this one that much) FF 9= 5.3 million. FF 10= 6.32 million. FF 10-2= 4 million

They actually sold well despite being on one console at the time & those sales numbers were from 2010 so they could have sold more.

nypifisel4007d ago

Actually FFXIII was like the fastest selling FF ever released!

OnT:
My fav is III and VI.

Larry L4007d ago

If you don't like 8 much, look up a site called "squall's dead" or something like that. It's like this crazy conspiracy theory about the game, that I actually think is right. And while it didn't make me "LIKE" the game any more than I did, it kinda gives you (me) a whole new appreciation for 8 and makes you look at it a different way.

It's a very interesting and fairly quick read and I suggest checking it out to any FF fan that may have been on the fance about what they think about 8. And it may even be a more interesting read for fans who loved 8.

"Squall's Dead" Google it

moegooner884007d ago

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wi...

FFX is listed in some websites to have sold 8.05 million copies, while others state that it sold around 6.5 million copies.

MonkeyNinja4007d ago

FFIX is still my all-time favorite, but X is a close second.

SuperLupe4007d ago

FFIX is one of the fondest memories of my teenage years. It marked me for life.

Sometimes I tell myself even when I'll be 80 years old sitting on the front porch of my house, I'll still think about the incredible adventure I lived with Vivi, Zidane, Garnet and the whole crew.

Truly magical moments.

3-4-54006d ago

I love games like that.

Larry L4007d ago

LOVED 9 as well, and it made me love 1 even more than I originally did.
