They even had the feature where your friend could control some characters with the 2nd controller.I think I beat the Gameboy FF1 and 2 but they weren't that great. Then FF7 and the past games were finally released years later for the PS.

Kinda skipped over most of FF 8 and 9 but did get X and X-2. Funny story - after compound fracturing my thumb at a Barn Burner in Renton ,WA I couldn't use my right hand to do anything. So I purchased and beat FF X and most of FF X-2 with one hand. Although X-2 was a a bit more difficult because that chick with the gun you hand to rapidly press, I think it was R-2, on top of the controller to get a good combo. That was kind of redundant, lol. Good times =)

Never played the online games or FF13 but I've watched friends play them. After my X-box elite died after 1 1/2 years I'm taking an indefinite break from console gaming. Emulators are peachy though.
I suggest going back and beating final fantasy 2 and would also like to recommend final fantasy 9. It sounds like your one of us who go back as any American who lived here can go. I'm with you on the emulators. I've been using them since 1999 and now use them on my phone. My goal now is to beat 1 or 2 old school rpgs per year. Rpgs are easy to play on a touch screen compared to some other games.
