I was gonna post it that was probably why it wasn't really suggested.
Should have been more Quistis though.

It's not that it's annoying, it's just incredibly easy to utilize it to over power your squad completely. I never played the card game and used to convert them all to magic and it made most of the game quite easy.

You either don't understand the battle system and end up using GFs in every battle and then you get stuck in the third disc because you messed up. You end up hating the game because it's so slow to play, battles take ages and **** that witch in the space station on the third disc.

Or else you get it, draw loads of magic to junction to stats, use +1 stat abilities to max out stats at 256 and overpower the crap out of your players breaking the game system and having an absolute ball doing so.

That was pretty much my first and second playthrough of the game.

Yup, that's exactly it. Whenever I replay it, I go the second route. I think I did something akin to the first scenario the first time I played it nearly two decades ago, and had to restart.

All this talk has me wanting to replay VIII and IX now.

Would anymore recommend getting a vita in 2017? Recently got a cheap psp really enjoyed having a handheld but felt that the graphics were just abit too dated and games too limited.Have plenty of cex vouchers and really interested in alot of the exclusives such as killzone uncharted wipeout etc.

It's a great little handheld. Only thing I'd mention is check for memory cards too, it's an unexpected expense for many, A decent size (32GB-64GB) could set you back over 50 quid.

I wouldn't anyway. No great selection of games for it, which is a pity.

Grayditch · 14-01-2017 09:54PM

There's little in the way of good games. Unless you like Japanese RPGS. It has sixteen million of those.

Not ton of Vita games but I think its good for RIGs and handy to have PS1 classics on the go.

It's a fantastic console it might be 5 years old this year and might be more or less dead but I still love mine like the day I got it.

Games are great what little games there is but if you have had psn plus for the past few years you would have built up quite a lot of great indie games on the system. And they all run fanatic on it and fell like their made for it.

Then the ps1 classics run great on it and that's another few 100 games you can play and then also the psp games to.

If you can pick up one with a mem card and a few games for less then a 100 you have getting a bargin and a 1/2.

Very hard to recommend. Mine has been sitting unused for 6 months. The indie games from ps plus are ok but unless you are doing a lot of travel then you would default back to the PS4 when at home.

I used mine last on a long flights and when I am in a hotel and don't feel like doing work after working all day.

The PS4 link looks great but it is hard to justify not going to the bigger TV to play.

You will not get secondhand games and new ones are hard to come by so it will be purchases through the store for 95% of time.

Have you a ps plus sub for the last few years as an earlier poster said ? And if yes, have you been purchasing the free vita content ?

I would get it, personally love mine, but only if you are into JRPGs and Visual Novels or have been hording PS+ games, otherwise it's very easy and cheap to find games online using the likes of VGP, if you can get it secondhand try and get the original OLED model, the colors look really washed out on the new models LCD screen.

tkd93 · 15-01-2017 01:23PM

No I have never bothered with ps+ before didnt realise how good value it is and only have an xbox one now so no real point. I would be buying a fair new games digitally when sales are only like uncharted atm is 8 and gravity rush is 7 but in order to do that id have to get at least a 32gb card which then drives up the cost.

I'd pick one up if you could get it cheap. There might not be a whole load of games beyond JRPGs being made for it now but it has a decent enough backlog of games at this stage and there are always decent deals on them in the sales on the PS Store. Plus, it is great to catch up on old PS1 games with it. Indie games like Hotline Miami or Steamworld Dig are an absolute treat to play on it.

I've a 16GB card and that does me for all I need it.

Toukiden 2 coming on the 21st March for Vita, exciting news!

Sephiroth_dude · 29-01-2017 12:04PM

A long shot but I got dungeon hunter alliance yesterday, anyone wanna play some CO op?

smilerf · 29-01-2017 06:57PM

Hi all
Let me start by saying I was looking into getting a Nintendo switch but the launch didn't appeal to me so I have turned my attention to the vita.

Is this still a viable option?
Can it be bought new anywhere
Any good deals about?

Many thanks

Well I guess It depends what kinda games you're into?......There's loads of Jrpg's if that's what you like, If you're into shooters there's killzone , unit 41, tearaway is a fun platformer, Dungeon alliance is a fun RPG, some good indie titles on it too......sony have all but just about forgotten it exists so there's no more support for it....Shops don't sell it anymore from what I've seen, you're best bet is one of the 2nd hand stores like CEX or buy online from Amazon and failing that you could always import....

Personally I love my vita but I love Jrpg's and there's a wealth of them for the vita and loads coming this year, so my advice would be too look through the game back catalogue and see for yourself if there's anything that interests you.

There's a couple of racer game's, wrc rally and there's a motorbike racing game, I have one fighting game DENGEKI BUNKO: FIGHTING CLIMAX, I'm not sure if there's anymore, Would Rpg's be your thing?

You can get PSP/PS1 games from the store, that's mostly what I use mine for (but they're rpgs or horror).
Ever play Kenka Bancho on PSP? You might like that one.

Tom Mann Centuria · 29-01-2017 08:31PM

If you are intending to buy digital copies of games, don't forget to factor in the crackers prices of vita memory cards.

breadbin · 30-01-2017 02:49PM

Just wondering can anyone recommend a two player game over psn? Me and my nephew have been playing terraria and minecraft and it's getting a bit old. Something co-operative might be good. Solving puzzles and the like?

Sephiroth_dude · 28-03-2017 09:18PM

Salt and sanctuary delayed on vita for Europe...what a surprise :rolleyes:
