Going for a full Ps1 Collection

Kealy1994 · 28-07-2013 3:39pm

Dude most of the Final Fantasy games only have 3 characters.
What am I supossed to expect.

An RPG that takes 20 plus hours to be actually playable
and that 20 hours is all tutorial.

Having to change out your party to level up all 6 characters...
Its also bad game mechanics to make the game longer and
majority of the game is linear.

Having some of the most annoying characters in the whole
franchise.

is known as being unbalanced and the worst game in the franchise.

If your spamming me and spoiling the thread about this then you are a fanboy.

Im trying to be nice and letting you having your opinion and end this conversation.

Its only a game and your spoiling my thread.

Your trying to say your good at rpgs and Im not.
That I didn't know what I was doing.
I was doing something wrong.
I don't know the game mechanics.
Im bad at the game.

I will beat you in a speed run of any jrpg and take you off of that high horse.
Final Fantasy.
Dragon Quest.
Dark Souls
Persona
Shin megami tensei.

I used all my potions before the fight.
I only leveled up 3 characters that
I choose to be in my party.
I cant even remember it was so long ago ive played
dozens of rpgs since.

Then the game wouldnt let me choose
the paradign I needed to win the battle
because I wanted to have a melee orientated team.
Without potions I cant win with that team.

While your probally went magic orientated and
had stacked up on potions.

Dude I would for you to play my save file and lose
time after time and for me to swap that character out
grind and beat him and show you how unbalanced the game is.

I was close to sending you about 10 forums discussing how
magic orientated the game is and its unbalanced if you dont
follow this.

I played the game in March in 2010 !! its been over three years
Its only a game,I was trying to respect your opinion that you like it but Ihonestly dont care about it or want to talk about it,I played it years ago and I have been nice about it
trying to move away from this subject.Next Im gonna be told
Im not a video game fan for final fantasy 7 not being my favorite.!

Im done this conversation,Now back to ps1 collecting

Ps.I frecking love Legend of Dragoon !!

Seems like you built an unbalanced team rather than the game being unbalanced. That there is kind of not understanding the game. You can't call the game unbalanced when you failed to utilise all the skills it gives you, for example magic and 3 other characters it gives and as I'm saying again doesn't require you to grind to level up.

I was just trying to figure out why you were having trouble with it and maybe help you with it. And I was defending FFXIII because it does do so many things wrong but I think the battle system and music where the only two things the game did really well.

Kealy1994 · 28-07-2013 4:08pm

I apologise man if I was going unreasonable in the last post.
I went a bit overboard.

I haven't played the game in 3 years and I lent it to a friend soon after and never got it back.So it's hard to remember because Its been so long and I've played so many jrpgs since.I can bearly remember how I played it.

I will give it that the music is okay.
I'm a big fan of serahs theme.

Kealy1994 · 28-07-2013 4:18pm

How was I sapposed to know I built an unbalanced team ?
It is unbalanced towards melee builds

I was beating every boss and enemy with no problem and I felt over powered up til that boss

It's the games job
To convey to me when I build a balanced team and it Failed to do so and it was too late when it did.

I had two melee,One magic
Why have 6 characters if I have to
Use 2 of them no matter what to be balanced.
I found out at that boss and it wasn't game breaking to fix but I didn't like the game and chose not to fix it and continue further.That is all there is to it.

Now as I said can we end this debate because I really don't want to talk about that game.

Lol This is another debate for another time

We cool man ? Even after this heated debate ? : )

Maybe one day we can drunkenly play jrpgs and laugh at this one day ! : )

Retr0gamer · 28-07-2013 5:39pm

I was joking, I could go on forever about how much I hate Legend of Dragoon, nobody wants that.

ill get any from any ware lol, region = not a problem, hacked ps2, plays any region.

what u missing anyway ?

Retr0gamer · 30-07-2013 10:18pm

Only problem with PAL games when it comes to RPGs is that the PAL slow down tends to kill the pace of them.

When I get money I'll probably get all my RPGs as NTSC and then sell the PAL ones.

Or you could do what I did & sell the PAL ones first, to fund the NTSC replacements. After I was finished doing the Snes carts, I had made money so bought a few extra carts.

Man Digimon world is my favourite game of all time.It has many flaws and its not very accurate to the anime but it brings back memory's every time I play it : )

How much did you charge you ? The prices are hit or miss there really

Ah no, my goal was to collect playstation jrpgs like Flaregon, not the whole ps1 collection!

Always wondered about the idea of a full collection, I think dreamcast is meant to be the easiest one to do. Have you the total amount of pal playstation releases? Do you have any stipulations regarding conditions of the games?

Virtual Boy not be quicker?

Fair enough, decent point.

Easiest may not be the quickest though. Relative to cost, ability to find in the wild and whatnot. Everything virtual boy is more than likely going to come from eBay at market value, while you could pick up dreamcast lots on adverts etc. There's only about 10 or so expensive titles and none of them are that much. Priciest game is probably less than 3 figures still.

Retr0gamer · 31-07-2013 10:34am

Neo Geo Pocket is by far the easiest full collection you can get. The rarest games won't set you back more than 80 euros. Even the virtual boy has a few games that will set you back more than a grand.

Presuming that's referencing unboxed. Uk versions of Evolution and pocket reversi go for 150+. If you can find anyone selling them in the first place that is.

I know the old guy very well in the shop in talbot street.
I'm probably his most frequent and
Hated customer.

He won't pay more than a euro or two or less a game.Values it by amazon and puts a 10-20 price mark on it.

He under values store credit and I brought him in a few stuff and he told me he wouldn't be able to sell it but if he did he'd throw me a game then he sold it within a week and never mentioned it.

I usually go in and make offers
On what I want Like his sega mega drive games
Are 10-15
I asked would he do 3 for 20
He said he'd do 3 for 25
I asked would he do 4 for 30
So I picked up
Ghouls and ghosts
World of illusion
Castle of illusion
Street fighter 2

So I'd end up paying half of what eBay charges.But he probably paid 4-8 euro for them.

Me and my friend used to track down
People selling their old games or go into markets/charity shops.

We used to keep the ones we want,Sell/trade.the good ones we didn't and give him the bad ones..To use as credit and he'd make the prices higher so we'd end up paying retail and giving it to him for free.So I start haggling and making offers.

He used to recheck the prices of the games to make sure he didnt underprice and he would refuse to sell if he did depending on the customer.

So don't feel bad about making offers
Because he does the same with trade ins.
When you walk in haggle and bundle stuff and make him offers.

I'm going in Thursday to game hunt send me a pm if you want to tag along : ) pm me if your interested

Indeed. If you're collecting NGP unboxed games you're doing it wrong. They've by far one of the nicest game boxes, ever.

If we're talking PAL (as it's the only way to go!) then Evolution, Pocket Reversi, Coolboarders and Faselei! will all cost you a decent sum.

Still one of the easier sets to put together alright.

OwaynOTT · 31-07-2013 2:14pm

ngage?
Regards Virtual Boy, I was only thinking money no cost that it would be easiest.

Wait,wait and wait! Surely the WiiU would be the easiest.

o1s1n · 31-07-2013 2:25pm

With the N-Gage you'd have to buy Sega Rally Championship. Which goes for silly amounts!
