Ok I have noticed this as of late and to me it is very frustrating and I am trying to figure out why there are so many people doing this.

I have started to see a trend as of late where people are referring to the PSX Final Fantasy games as the “original games”. Direct references to FFVII and FFVIII have been included into this. Since when is VII and VIII considered one of the original games???

In another thread I noticed some one make mention of “original games” and then make mention of R2 and L2, also referencing the PSX. I can somewhat understand this reference due to the fact there where some re-releases ported to the PSX and that not all of our members are old enough to have had a copy of the games on their original platform. I still think this scenario is unlikely though and the above mentioned titles where intended.

So the reason I am brining this up is because I am curious to see the responses I will get.

I want to know what you (not wiki, or SE or Squaresoft) consider to be some of the “original games” and why.

I will respond further down the line on this one.
