For me at least. I've decided against buying the Playstation 3 due to it's atrocious pricing, as I can't even buy it, much less afford it and one game. I hope Square-Enix moves it's stuff eventually to the Wii, because that's where I'll only be able to afford to go. Final Fantasy XII and III will probably be my very last primary Final Fantasy games. Is that the same with you all? I feel like Square-Enix is over with.

I know Sony is making a huge mistake by that price, all their competitors are keeping the price low, because they know it will hurt Sony in the end.

Square-Enix will never move their popular Final Fantasy games to the Wii. I'm not getting FFXII because I've played the demo and didn't like the battle system. I plan on getting a PS3 along with FF vurses XIII.

The PS3 pricing will go down soon. Don't worry about it.

I'll be getting the PS3 for sure because I prepared and got a part-time job - $6.75 per hour. Not only that, I can only work maximum 20hrs a week due because I'm a full-time student. By the time PS3 comes out, I accumulate up to $2,000 to buy a PS3, accessories, games and maybe a HDTV, however, I might to finance that.

Anyway, keep your hopes up. If your a real FF fan, you got to keep the playing going. You can't just stop at FF12.

I'm currently playing FF12 right now. It's juz so much fun!

The demo, I had to admit it, it wasn't fun. The demo didnt show the full potential of the battle system. I know because I'm currently playing the Japanese version at the moment.

I comepletely agree with you. But FFXIII going to be an action-RPG:| It can't be that good compared to the awesome others.

I disagree. If you're a fan of something, you don't have to buy everything they throw at you. Some things Square Enix makes might not make 100% of their fans pleased. If the sales records show this, Square Enix will learn from their mistake and change the next game to suit and please their fans.

I will get a PS3 eventually. But that is of course after the price drops a great deal. Here is Great Britain the damn thing is $800! $800! Uh, it's completely ludicrous. I'll definitely be picking up a Wii first and getting stuck in to Twilight Princess. Do keep in mind however, that some of the PS3's best titles are bound to come out a year or so after the console is released. Namely Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm just praying for a major price drop of the console until those games do come out. Even so, my purchase will most definitely not just solely be for Final Fantasy. I don't like where Square are taking the series with this new futuristic theme. For me, I've grown up playing rpgs in a medievil world and understandably, this is how I prefer them. Even if I do get a PS3, it certainly doesn't mean that I will continue to play Final Fantasy games.

I agree, Wii seems like it will give you alot more bang for your buck. Nintendos making a comeback.

So we can assume you didn't like Final Fantasy X, VI, VII, and VIII due to their futuristic themes?

^Because we all have driver licenses and jobs, right?255Loner

Im 16 and I live in Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in the world(that is in Africa in case youre wandering),a lot of my friends who are my age and looking to make some cash dont need a drivers license, cuz its just a part-time job to make some fast cash, you dont need to be on the other side of the city to do that. I dont work but that is just because my mom doesnt let me outta the house alone(cuz Im an only child and you know how most moms are).
But if she did and if I lived in somewhere as rich as GB, I could guarantee you I could make that kind of money.

See, this is the big difference between most of the first and third world countries: we work for money, while you let your money work for you.(but of course Im not refering to every single person of each world)

I dont know why you deleted my last post or why you may delete this one, cuz there was nothing offensive written on them, only COLD HARD TRUTH!!

Everyone feel free to flame me, I dont care.

Not everyone is rich. Some adults can barely afford it as it is at the moment (I'm, of course, talking about my mum and a few of my friends' parents.)

I think by the time FFXIII & FF Versus XIII come out, the price of the PS3 would have dropped a few dollars. Now if the PS3 isn't successful at launch, I bet ya that the price will drop even sooner. As for me, I'll be getting the Wii & PS3. Yes, I'm a working man who pay bills & has a family. I've been saving hard, not splurging like I usually do so I can get them both at launch. I'll probably need about $1500 so I can get both with some games & what not. I didn't think I could save before, but after saving for my fiance's ring, I know I can save for anything now. Plus I have a wicked backup plan, should I not reach my goal by the beginning of October. Shhhh, it's a secret.

So we can assume you didn't like Final Fantasy X, VI, VII, and VIII due to their futuristic themes?

No, that is not at all the case. I mentioned that I preferred my Rpgs to be that way, it doesn't mean that I only buy ye olde games. I enjoyed both VII and VIII but I would rather that both of those games were leaning more towards the medievil side of things. Besides, I really enjoy the Xenosaga games and they are as futuristic as you can get. It's just if you put it side to side with say, Final Fantasy IV. I would prefer the themes and settings of FFIV more. And as Jordina said, FFVI was a mixture between the two which I really enjoyed to be honest. The technology was advanced but the settings were more medievil.

how much is $600-800 in £££.jordina

$800 is £425 in Great Britain while the price in North America is $599 which is around £315.

i cant believe that some people are so poor that htey dont even have $600-$800. i am a teen and i can afford it myself  killer_shadow1

Ok, I congratulate you but please do not assume that because I don't want to buy a $800 games console that I am poor. You are a teenager, you don't have to pay money for some of the things that I have to e.g. the rent, so I wouldn't make assumptions about how rich I am just because I don't want to buy an overpriced console.

FF is always changing. you may get a not-up-to-standard game this time around, but you may very well get a near-to-perfect game at their next production. I know a lot of people has been upset with the recent FF games, like FFX-2 and all these FFVII spin-offs.

If you're actually disappointed with one game, in future, you can still hope for a better game in a later future. You don't have to give up the whole series just because one failed to amuse/entertain you or something.

And, on that point about FFXII, i myself wasn't too eager to get the game after playing the demo. But, after playing the actual game itself, it's really worth every single cent you're going to spend for it.

I won't be getting the PS3 immediately at launch, mostly because i still can't afford it at the moment. But, also because new products always have glitches, it's better if we wait a while. And, maybe, after some waiting, the price, may hopefully drop.

Think about it, you may not be able to get FFXIII at launch because of the PS3's high cost. But, stopping at this point is going to be regretful. Final Fantasy is at its PRIME now. With all this advanced technology and experience the next generation of consoles can give us, and with Square Enix's capability, both financially and technically, we can only expect the best of games to come out from this period of time.

My advice is, don't stop here. Maybe, get a PS3 when the price's dropped, and then catch up on all the FF games that you've missed since PS3 launch. At least, don't stop. FF is just getting better, now. :)

It's not that people can't afford it, its that some will not pay that much for a game system because they have other responsibilities to take care of. I did not buy ps2 until the slim came out so I can get it for less, and that is what I'm going to do for the ps3 because I want the new ff.

Hate to say it, but yeah, once Final Fantasy XII comes out, thats probably it for me too. Its not that the price of the PS3 is turning me off, its that Square just keeps ripping off its fans and im getting sick and tired of it. I've explained my point of view about this in several other threads and the more and more that is released about XIII and the several versions of it coming out, well, it just sickens me to think I'd have to pay that much to get the most out of an RPG game. Right now I'm playing Shadow Hearts: From the New World and loving it. Once Final Fantasy XII comes out, I'm going to play that and love it too....cause its just one game, no extra costs, one quality experience that I know I'm going to love. There are still a lot of RPGs coming out on the PS2, but as far as Final Fantasy is concerned, XII could be the end of the line for me too....

P.S. Just beat Heros of Might and Magic V, anyone who loves RPGs needs to play that game!

I hope I do a good job in translating this...well here goes nothing. This is what "sketchley" was trying to get across to us, I believe: Why would you all end at Final Fantasy XII? If that's the case, then you guys aren't real fans if you ask me. Oh, and by the way, don't bother responding with "No one asked you!" So, you all—rate my translation out of ten. : P

you either just hate square or you hate the fact you ahve to wait longer for a true FF game than a new system. as soon as it comes out. you love for square will be right back

For me at least. I've decided against buying the Playstation 3 due to it's atrocious pricing, as I can't even buy it, much less afford it and one game. I hope Square-Enix moves it's stuff eventually to the Wii, because that's where I'll only be able to afford to go. Final Fantasy XII and III will probably be my very last primary Final Fantasy games. Is that the same with you all? I feel like Square-Enix is over with. 255Loner

dude, the way youre saying it makes it look like FFXIII is coming next month.
its only coming in late 2007 for Gods sake!!
