FF and Dragon Warrior games on PSX and Phantasy Star Col GBA

[The Manimal]

What games were released on PlayStation...including remakes for these series (add if I'm missing them).


I know that there is FFVII, FFVIII, FFIV, Tactics, Anthology, Origins, Chronicles. Any else? Which of these games were the ones that had pressing problems and some of the games are 'bad'....(I've heard this before)? If so, how would I know if I have one of the bad games.

Also, of the reissue ones (Anthology/Origins)...did they 'fuck' with the games? I saw some screen shots of FFI and it looked like SNES 'All Stars' type remake....but I guess they changed the dialogue? True or not, if so, why? I would hope they would be faithful to the original.


Dragon Warrior....??? I know there is VII or VIII or something and some more....? Likewise, did they disgrace the old games if there were reissues.


I just think the remakes might be interesting considering batteries in older games.


Also, I picked up Phantasy Star collection I - III for GBA. 1 was for SMS, and I think they had II - IV for Genesis (correct?). I have IV for Genesis (cart only, didn't know I had it until last night)...but how are these as faithful to the originals? Hopefully they are, as from what I saw, the GBA 'I' looked like an 8-bit game with no enhancements, and 'II' and 'III' looked like Genesis games with no enhancements. Granted all of these games aren't that easy to find, plus they are battery games....if they ARE identical in all ways, I might say 'to hell' with the originals (new game with new battery). I could understand there being slightly less 'screen' for the outer world as it is a portable version....that might be okay, even though (off topic now) I wish I had import of Rockman and Forte now, as I have Megaman and Bass (GBA) and even on the GameBoy Player...MegaMan is so huge on the screen and really, the resolution I don't think is as good as the SNES (seems blurry when 'blown up' on TV screen).

Im a huge fan on the Dragon Warrior series. Dragon Warrior VII or 7 was the only DW game released on it in the US. I thought it was good. It may be too long though; after about 70 hrs I had had enough. I got kind of burnt out, now Im starting to want to play it again. The other DW game was a spinoff, Torneko's Quest. This is a randomly generated dungeon crawler. I didnt even bother getting it...well, I probably will eventually.

The only FF remake disc I heard being any 'bad' was Chrono Trigger on the Chronicles set. I've never played mine so i wouldn't know, but the title screen and 5 minutes into the game works. I think that was mainly a problem with the old PS units, and I'm now using a PS2.

I played all the way through FF5 with my PS2 and I didn't notice any of the slowdown or long load times that most people said plagued the set.

Dunno if it's just a problem with the old units. I use a PSOne, and I can tell you that the few second load time every time you go into a menu gets old very, very, VERY quickly. Very.
