Someone posted a bit ago about the super station one fpga system and i decided to preorder one. Now I’m curious, what would all of your essentials be for the playstation system?
No need to give me a whole list, but if you can share me some of your standouts and why, id appreciate it.
i’ve played very little of ps1 and didn’t even realize it was a system until the ps2 came out!
Very curious to me that FF9 made the list but not FF8. FF7 is a given, a seminal game. But I was a kid/teenager when both FF8 and FF9 came out and I remember FF8 being more of a hit than 9. I am sure part of it was that 9 came out more on the eol of the PS1 while the 8 was on the prime years. I think I read something about 9 becoming a cult classic over the years but I am not sure. Maybe also with the years 8 didn’t fare as well and maybe the early praise when first launched came in part trailing how well was 7 that everyone wanted for 8 to be good.
Personally I did play a lot of 8 but I think only halfway through instead of completing like I did 7 and when 9 came around I wanted to play but never ended up playing it.
I wanted to love FF9 but even the most basic battles (grinding) take way too long! Enter battle: swirl, loading… camera flies uselessly around the battlefield… sometimes we’re at one minute already and haven’t even started doing damage yet. Not a disc or laser problem because this happens on emulators, too. Solution is to use an emulator with fast-forward.
i was expecting to see 7 mentioned but at the time of tallying just 9 was mentioned. though i could have certainly misread or glossed over it. aside from tactics on the gba i haven’t touched the series despite it being popular.
