Hey Swayne just wanted to thank you for replying to my homework thread your answer will be pretty helpful

I'm glad you had time to update the group discussions. And thanks for your effort! :>
If there is anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to write a VM. :>

Hey Michael! :>
I just saw you created a social group for new members. Maybe it'd be good to do some advertising for the Adoption Agency there, so that new members know where to find mentors. :>
I'm thinking about joining the group to help the newbies find the Agency and for answering questions as well. But I'd like you to decide if this is a good idea, since it's YOUR group.

Edit: Oh and by the way, maybe a useful tip: When you write to new members and inform them about the group, you might add a link - then it's easier for them to find the group. ^^ As a newbie, they might not find the social groups.

Hey mike thanks for the request look forward to talking final fantasy with ya.

Hey mike I would deff like to join you group for noonies . Thisseemslikeitwould take off the strainof meeting new people so thanksa lot dude. I will complete my bio so that you know more about me. Talk to you soon.

Just don't forget to remove your card details from the device if you ever sell it on or you'll end up with some cheeky bastard spending £120 on titles that you never even wanted and unable to get a refund due to Sony's ridiculous terms of service policy.

Yeah, it's a proper port of the original game - probably with some smoothing on the graphics too, but then that might just be down to the resolution on the screen. I had FF9 on PSP and it worked like a dream. It was fantastic to have it on the go. I know you can pick up the older PSP models now for relatively inexpensive prices - and given too the upcoming release of the NGP the prices are going to go down further.

I might be wrong but I'm sure the PS2 doesn't support the PSN store.

Well, that sounds lovely! I'd be happy to join!

PS2? Just to clarify. I didn't realise the PSN store ran through that.

Yard sales/carboots are absolutely brilliant when you find just what you're looking for but the odds are it's never there though I also got my copy of FFVIII from one minus the manual sadly.

Might I suggest you get a PSP and download the titles you want through the PSN on that. You can have them on the go that way.

I never got around to playing DoC as it just seemed too disconnected from FFVII (or at least the gameplay style anyway). Little I would know about the story after all.

As for obtaining a copy of FFVII? Presumably it's an original you want otherwise you would probably have downloaded it? It's quite readily available to download and convert to disc as an ISO and run on a modded PS1 console OR run through a PS1 emulator on PC. The latter process can be a pain in the arse though (crashing and what not).

I have an original copy of FFVIII for PS1 that I have been trying to swap for either 7 or 9 but to no avail (and no surprise to be honest).

Where are you from?

I suppose you live and learn though I don't think your efforts were in vain if it caused you to ultimately come to forums/websites like these and learn a lot more.

Glad you're a fan of 9 - me too. There's something quite romantic about it and certainly brings back more nostalgia for me than any of the previous titles from the PS1 generation. Presumably you have played 7 and 8 though too? If so, what do you make of those?

That makes perfect sense to me, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Which of the FF series are your favourites? (Cliche question I know given where we are, but suppose the conversation has to start rolling somewhere!).
