...From what I have seen Final Fantasy 9 looks absolutely amazing and will beat Final Fantasy 8 easily although whether able to challenge Final Fantasy 7 possibly the best game ever is another matter. This instalment goes back to the days of Final Fantasy 6 where dragons and knights where huge and leaving behind the cyber-punk futuristic backdrops of the previous 2. The videos I have seen look absolutely stunning and the sales of well over a million within one day of release show how popular this game really is. Basically this should be an absolutely amazing game dating back to number 6 if you liked any Final Fantasy’s or any RPG’s get this straight away.... Read review

Advantages: One of the bets RPGs ever
Disadvantages: Not as good asFF7

...Final fantasy VII was voted the best playstation game for over 2 years running. Then Final Fantasy VIII held magazine headlines for about a year, but does it live up to expectations that Final Fantasy VII had set. Although the graphics and engine have greatly improved the 8th game lacks what the seventh exceld in, THE GRIPPING STORY LINE. Although the story is good there is a lot of slow moving parts which really let it down. Final fantasy 8 beats every RPG game except for its first game, the music is worst along with the story and lack of different enimes. FF8 gets a fantastic 8 outta 10.... Read review

Advantages: ace graphics
Disadvantages: none

...Final Fantasy 9 is a new game out this year and i can say it is definately one of the best so far of the Final Fantasy series. The story is different to final fantasy 8 but there are a few things that are the same, for example the magis spells but there is no juctioning system like final fantasy 8. It has been simplified to on sysyem where you can learn abilities by equiping new weapon, armour, and items which makes the game easier to play. Also there is not as much freedom to move around untill a bit but the game is just as good with the wide range of characters, some are which are a bit weird!! The magis spells are the same but you have 2 characters with the power to summon powerful eidolons. These can be seen in wonderful detail along with the other characters in many out scenes in the game, there is an enormous amount of detail... Read review

Advantages: will keep your atention and will have you going back for more
Disadvantages: none

...final fantasy 7 was one of the best rpg games of its time but compared to it sequal it was nothing. the main character of final fantasy 8 is called squall lionheart and your job is to guide him around the world, searching for rare items and fighting lots of monsters. final fantasy has got it all, a breathtaking story-line, amazing battles, life-like characters and wonderful missions to keep you occupied. this is a must buy game and if you dont already have it what are you waiting for. this truly is the best game ever released on the playstation, nintendo 64, or dreamcast and lucky for us there will be another two sequals of the game released for the playstation 2....

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: lack of characters

...i downloaded this game onto an emulator for my pc ages ago, as a fan of all the recent final fantasy games i had owned this on the snes, and so downloaded it onto my pc to play on my emulator. At first glance it is very much like every other final fantasy game, with its battle sequences and the free roaming world map, but the developmental system in final fantasy 5 is very different to the more recent final fantasys, excluding final fantasy X-2 which also has a similar system. You get few characters to play with, however whenever one of the crystals shatter, new job abilities are opened up, these range from monks, who fight with their hands, to paladins, knights with the power to cast white magic all the way to tamers and bards. As a a fan of all things final fantasy it is impossible for me to fault this game, and i feel that the only... Read review

Advantages: Hours of fun
Disadvantages: Not many new things to see that werent on FFX

..., but unsurprisingly Square has fit that into the game very well just like mission based game play. The garment grid basically replaces summoning, you collect garment grids and dress spheres while playing the game and then use them in conjunction to “transform” into different job classes such as: Gunner, Thief, Warrior, Black mage, White mage and many more unusual ones such as trainer where you battle along side an animal. I think that the quality of graphics and music can go without saying, its always good in final fantasy games. One thing that may let the game down for some though, is the lack of new places to visit. Most places on Final Fantasy X-2 you will have seen before if you have played Final Fantasy X. Its not really worth buying unless you’ve played X as well since the story continues on from where X left off. Overall, Final Fantasy X-2... Read review

If you don't know much about the Final Fantasy series then here is a quick overview - Final Fantasy was a concept that became reality when the software company Square were struggling to make ends meet.
