Ordered this, sealed: 45 euro, is it too much?

I am playing through them both(IV and V) and I see no loading times.

FFVI for the psone, on the other side:/

idk if there are any differences as it comes to load times from the NA to PAL versions, but my FFIV from Chronicles had issues with the sound being off (mostly world map I think), slightly longer loads to & from battles and major effing times for saving for w/e reason...Almost made up for with the cute sprites they had for the screens...

So I listened to all of Final Fantasy XIII's Soundtrack right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bAN5Ni46Cs&feature=PlayList&p=4E4FCFF11A7B3993&index=0&playnext=1

If anyone knows me I am a hardcore FF VII fan and everything about it I love. (Fanboy... not really.)

Anyway, the soundtrack of FF VII has been my favorite of all time till today. Now it comes in a VERY CLOSE second. If FF VII's tracks were orchestrated then it would be number 1 again, but for now... Final Fantasy XIII has my favorite sound track of all time.

My favorite songs are Lightning's Theme, The Boss Theme, The Battle Theme, Fang's Theme, Sulyya Springs, The Cradle Will Fall, and The Sunleth Waterscape

Every song is beautiful and unique in it's own right although there are a few replays. The soundtrack is great and I can't wait to get the game.

Based on the two you linked in the music thread, I'm still sticking with VII. That battle theme is getting repeated listens from me, though.

Anyway, I'm playing this game called Xenogears.

I think VI showed off Uematsu's scope a lot better than VII (though to be fair, that's how I feel about most everything when comparing the two)...VI in MIDI is still wondrous, but VII is barely tolerable...wtf were they still using MIDI for on a CD anyway?

I remember reading somewhere they used midi on the CD as a space-saving mechanism so that they'd be able to incorporate a larger score and more gameplay events. I think it turned out fine. I never got too far into FFVI, but I did enjoy "The Decisive Battle" quite a bit and is one of my favorite songs period.

I think FF VII being in MIDI really gave a nostalgic nintendo feel.

But we can really see what some of those tracks can truely sound like in Crisis Core.

Pretty damn good I say!

What's with these games needing a constant Internet connection to play? It's fucking DRM like this that ethically justifies pirating. Why install a game that boots you out if your net connection hiccups, limits installs, and slaps you in the face with rigorous verification, when you can get the Razordoxed version and simply play the fucking thing?



Yo-ho-ho.

Jesus Christ, that's idiotic. Are they trying to put places like Gamestop out of business? I mean, they only have an equal amount of NEW games as well as old games.

While we're on the topic...

The comic also puts a nice spin on it.

[ZeaLitY]

Visit any thread regarding the topic, and I mean any thread, and it won't be three posts until someone raises the Goddamned Jolly Roger and says they'll pirate the game

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Can anyone please enlighten me about what I asked?

I'm not familiar with the worth of a Euro. D:

[Truthordeal]

45 EUR is about $60, so...yeah. You definitely paid more than you should have. Sorry dude.

It's very hard to find on europe, and it's sealed
