So after playing over 100 hours of Final Fantasy XIII, I had completed everything bar Treasure Hunter and I decided to call it a day.

Now it has gave me the Final Fantasy bug and I really feel like replaying either Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy X.

However I have NOT played FFXII(12) or XI, although I am not in the mood for an MMO, would you guys say XII is worth playing? compared to VII and X how many hours can you clock up trying to achieve everything in the game?

I am a big fan of X because of the damage break and the dark aeons, these were very hard to defeat and challenging which I loved about the game... VII obviously had the ultimate weapons, the chocobo breeding, the secret areas like sunken ship.. all these side game features that take a lot of time to complete are what interest me.

So, any advice guys? :)
 
I just checked on Gamefaqs for a FFVII guide, someone has written a "Perfect Game" guide with stuff to do like;

<Perfect Game Note 1:>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: Again we feel we must mention - for those who skip all introductory
paragraphs - that these Perfect Game Notes do NOT have to be done in order
to complete the game. This Guide can be followed perfectly to ensure that
you don't miss anything, without having to do the instructions in these
perfect game notes. They are only for perfectionists, and they are
implemented in the walkthrough to ease them in this tough challenge.

Please don't feel distracted by these notes if you're not interested in
this challenge and simply use the Guide regularly. [Boring talk ends now.]

As for the actual note:

Head to the train graveyard to the right so you can save up money to buy 99 Iron
Bangles. This can take a very long time, however there *is* a way to slightly
speed it up. Mono Drives (the small floating robots) sometimes drop an Ether.
You can sell this for a whopping of 750 gil! Just pray they drop it, because
it's a rather rare drop. It's not recommended to sell any other items you own
because they aren't as profitable. You need to save 15840 gil to buy 99 Iron
Bangles.. but you'll also get 1500 gil from Barret, and you can also find an
Ether as a treasure. You may also want to set the Battle Speed to the maximum in
the menu. This will cut off a few more minutes per hour. Still, expect this to
take a while.

that might be fun, will remind me of the constant grind MMO's used to bring :p
 
Well since I have 7 already on my ps3 ill fire that up now, whilst I download 8 and tomorrow i'll go out and try n grab X and XII, I can't believe I gave X away a few years ago :(
 
yes I agree tactics is one of the other FF's that was utterly addictive and spent over 100 hours on easily... the Dark Dungeon :D ahhhh memories
 
Well I phoned GAME this morning and asked if they had FFX and FFXII in stock

"Yes we do, they are preowned however"

"excellent, no problem" I thought

Went down to the store and after 20 minutes of searching they "can't seem to find them"

Great... they phoned their other store who apparently have them in stock. On the way out there was a HMV and I gave it a shot, and what do you know?;

pre-owned, but for a tenner i thought it was a bargain :)
 
You know I could never really get into 9 for some reason, I couldn't gel with the characters at all, nothing in the game interested me :(
