I couldn't stand the interface, which is really troubling considering ff1 is more or less a 6 button game, and four of those are just cardinal directions!
VII is still worth playing if only for it's role in making RPG's gain mainstream acceptance in America. Don't play VIII. Cut your loses and buy IX tomorrow.
As much as I dislike a lot of things about VIII, I've had a strange urge to play it again. I can almost guarantee that after an hour I'd be wondering why I'm wasting my time and quit, though. Unless you really love it, I can't see your situation ending any differently.
VII surprisingly held up well. When I played it again for the LP, I was actually having fun doing so. Granted I was also imagining what silly stuff I'd get to write about it, but still.
I wish I had known that the PSN store charges tax. I bought a $20 card, go to buy FFVII and VIII, and it turns out I can only afford one. And the kicker is, after I pay for it, I learn that, even if I cleared my entire memory stick (I have the one that comes with the system), it STILL wouldn't have enough space.
This pissed me off after having waited like an hour to download all the new firmware and create an account and stuff.

I'm...nearly absolutely sure it doesn't
As in the PSN store took 19.98 off of my credit card, no more no less
Ed: just checked online, 19.98 charge on my credit card

Does it depend on State?
Because when I moved from New Mexico to Illinois, the taxes changed on my Wii VC titles.
VIII is the only FF I haven't replayed because it took too much out of me. That's because I hit Disc 4 and the Card Queen had all, random, same wall, and plus. Totally my fault because I'd just fucked around with TT before hand, not really giving a shit. Obviously that fucked me in the end. I probably spent more time on playing cards with her than the entire rest of the game. What the fuck is she even doing with her arms after you challenge her?
Every few years I try to replay it but I always hit a road block once Triple Triad comes in. This will be the same for XIII because there's not really anything amazing about it to combat the fucking turtles. I've been saying for weeks now that I'll grind out the dark matter I need since I've got enough traps but it sucks.

Maybe it's state based? I like in New Jersey. Lots of taxes here.
hhmmm....we are missing only 3 trophies right now. One of which (treasure hunter) we will not take the time to get. So that leaves us two trophies....and I could use a little help please.
Adamant Will - Slay a Long Gui. Our Crystarium is maxed and I have an ultimate weapon for my main 3 that I tend to always use (Fang, Lightning, Hope). I could use a few tips for the long gui. Do I just simply need to get incredibly good at seeing when he raises his legs (hard to see at times due to camera angles) and switching to tortoise for every stomp and ultima cast and bay/roar or whatever? I can beat a Shaolin Gui...took a while and we only did it once, just to do it. I am not in the business of getting a bunch of dark matters and I don't have a need/want for any more traps. So...just once, I want to kill a Long Gui.
On a side note...all missions are done with 5 stars. WOOT!
When you go to the trophy list on the PS3...it puts them in order for you. The very very top/first trophy that is on the list we do not have. What it is and how did we miss it? What do I need to do?
Oh yeah?!?!?!?! I have a 3rd question. Themes...how do we get them? We have Lightning, Snow, Hope, Vanille and Sazh. How do we get Fang and what is the 7th theme/how do you get it?

Serah is the 7th theme. I have no other answers for you.

Fang - Treasure Hunter - requires getting every weapon and accessory (though not at the same time; you can upgrade Bangles, for instance, and it'll still count the one you upgraded from), then interacting with Bhakti in Oerba.
Serah - Ultimate Hero - get every other trophy.
In other words, Treasure Hunter is pretty much necessary to get the final themes.
EDIT - As for Long Guis, you can always go the cheap way of converting fully upgraded Doctor's Codes into Elixirs, then abusing summons. Like the cheap way of fighting Adamantoises/Adamantortoises, only you refill your TP as they get back up, just so you can knock them down with another summon.

list doesn't include dirge of cerberus, list is incorrect
The After Years?
The Bouncer is better than FF12.
After Years was pretty fun I thought.
I don't even know how to respond to this.
FFV
in which it was initially called Dinglberry
mm-hmm
tonberries have always been scary as shit
they're usually the nastiest non-boss monsters in their respective game, along with Malboros
FFIX replaced them with the Yans for nastiness, but the tonberries in that one were still mean customers
"heh"
would be apropos
fucking dancing mountain goat pieces of shit
Which one should I play first
You shut your mouth pip
VIII is one of the best FFs
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...
IX when it comes out.
FF7 is the better game. Its also the first one chronologically.
Both are good.
VII surprisingly held up well. When I played it again for the LP, I was actually having fun doing so. Granted I was also imagining what silly stuff I'd get to write about it, but still.
Fast paced combat.
this is an amazing fakepost
Pokemon Safari - Sneasel, Pawniard, ????
Also Reznik has terrible opinions anyways so I'm ignoring that
Ed: I guess I'll play [strike]FFVI: Polygon Edition[/strike] FFVII first
"Rust is that you"
Oh wait that's FFXIII
FFXIII is garbage but even i wouldn't rate it below the bouncer
Never played it
Mostly going for the joke about you hating 13

Also I'm beginning to think Vanille is one of the better-realized characters in the series. Still kind of annoying, but.
Yeah, I enjoyed the game more on my second time through...and not just because it was in a language I could easily read.
