I used to be such avid final fantasy fan but after playing several, they all pretty much have the same plot lines.

The last couple have been pretty bad. I want to play a game, not watch an hour of cutscenes for 30 minutes of gameplay.

Yes, get an X-Box. Then you can get GTA: San Andreas a few months later, with all the bugs ironed out and WAAAAY better graphics.

Wait a few months and get a superior version of San Andreas on XBox.

All you need is a SNES (or emulator) and Final Fantasy III. That is THE Final Fantasy game. All these others are just poor anime imitations.

Actually, now have 1&2, 4-7 and 9-10 & 10-2.

I concur that FF6 is probably the best, but the others (besides 11) do have their place. I still just need to track down a copy of VIII.

Knights of the Old Republic... I'm just finding too many bugs in. Stopped playing it, lost interest because of it. Each of the Final Fantasy ones are polished to a nice shine.

Though I'm still not sure why I got an X-Box... mostly shooters and racers as far as I can see, though picked up the Sonic Mega Collection thing for xmas. Never had a Genesis, and for only $20, why not?

My GC and GBA clock the most use, however, strangely. I don't know, maybe it's because so many EA games do seem to end up on the X-box as sports games/racers?

Does this mean Super Smash Bros.: Melee is the best thing to happen to fighter fans since PS2?

All other fighters are too restricting... 2 people on the field at once (A serious to gameplay, especially multiplay). SSB:M lets you move around freely, PLUS, it doesn't have any of those silly moves that require you to do something like...

ABYXABYXRLLRRLLRLLRRAYXBBXXYABX while rotating the control stick and holding in R2. I know it doesn't have A,B,X,Y buttons, it is just easier than typing the names of shapes

no, I'll download the PC version... see, Xbox might be a better system in terms of hardware, but the games suck. And by the time games come out on Xbox, they are already on PC. Xbox is the middle child of the gaming industry... stuck between the baby system GC and the PC.

I believe the site is retail.microsoft.com/xbox. I haven't used it in a while so I'm not sure. You have to register with a valid xbox retailer (for example you need a Game Crazy store number and address). I had friends who worked there so I got that stuff. Then you take stupid little surveys and get points. Use points for free games and stuff, basically 9-12 five question quizzes = 1 game. All you do is pay for shipping.
