I was looking for an item like his but I won't pay that much for it. It may be a good idea to go out and buy all of the new FF9s you find and keep them for 5 years. As long as it is not the GH packaging.

I'm half serious about that.

, if only i had know this 2 years ago.....

Difference is, FF7 is considered to be the best, if not one of the top three at least, Final Fantasy games ever, while Final Fantasy 9 sucked ass. (OK, it didn't suck, but it was "a good game" at best.)

Come on, you knew this was going to happen.

Huh, a friend told me he got $75 last month for a sealed FF8 -- it seems the Playstation original versions of these games are worth more then I thought!

I'm one of ther biggest FF nuts around, so I guess I should have seen that coming.

[Hamsnibit]

Final Fantasy 7 is considered the best by the younger gamers who didn't play nfy FF games before it. Any of the Final Fantasy games before it are much better in my opinion.

[SoulBlazer]

Ah, let's not turn this into a FF debate thread, please!

I will agree about FF7, though. I've played every game in the series when they first came out (or as soon as the ROM was translated) and love every one, but RPG'ers today just don't know how spoiled we are!

4 and 6 remain my personal favorites, but 8, 10, and 9 are right up there behind them.

[Kid Fenris]

Eh. You can pretty much count on any domestically released Final Fantasy attracting a bunch of fans who consider it the best game ever made. It's the nature of the series.

I agree with Port's contention that this was clearly coming, but at least it's just one rich, desperate nutcase so far.

This could be the auction that gets linked to by sellers for a few weeks, though. I saw a Rez LE auction that linked to another one Rez LE auction that went for $350. (They usually go for $90-$100.)

I wonder how much a sealed copy of the SNES games FF2 and 3 would go for. If I had known that, I would have bought a few at the time.

I'm always looking to grab Sealed pre-greatest hits versions of greatest hits games to my collection. Sometimes you get lucky and its not pointed out that its the original version. But sometimes you buy the item and it turns out they used an old picture and you get a greatest hits version in the mail

I still need a FF7 because of this

Sealed FF3 |SNES| can go for $300+ if there's a really good picture. Otherwise $200 is more like it.

I've only seen FF2 sealed once, and it went for $415:

What a load of crap. FFVII sucked. HORRIBLE GRAPHICS, that polygon looking CRAP. And the characters were a joke. FFIX was decent.

Sorry :P It had to be said.

You should know that the graphic doesn't really matter that much in RPG's.
Otherwise I wouldn't be playing Miracle Warriors instead of Zelda The Wind Maker, would I?

Let's not forget there were a few years between FFVII and FFIX that Square could get their shit together and learn from any programming mistakes from the earlier game.....

I don't really remember any programming mistakes in FFVII, unless you're referring to the "Aeris glitch" or the easy elements of the Japanese version. The only parts of FFVII that look really ancient now are, I think, the close-ups of the Popeye-armed characters. And the translation's full of bad choices and errors. Other than that, it's still a great RPG.

Then again, maybe I'm just used to forgiving my RPGs for utilitarian graphics. If I wasn't, my opinion of the first six Final Fantasies might just be this:

OMG the people are little fatheads with no bodies HORRIBL E GRAPHICS TIHS GMAE IS THE MOST SUCKEST RPG!!

Err, let me rephrase that, not so much mistakes....but, more learned how to manipulate the technology the way they wanted, to get the "smoother" end result. Perhaps the smoothing of polygons is most notable? I'm in NO WAY saying FFVII was bad, but practice makes perfect right? Fine wines only get better with age and all that?

[SoulBlazer]

Well, you know as well as anyone it takes time to figure out how to get the best from a game. The major graphical diferences between FF7 and 8 are ample evidence of that, or even looking games like Castlevania 1 compared to 3 or Eternal Darkness to Metroid Prime. That's really all it comes down to.

[nesuser2]

so are the games with the greatest hits packaging worth anything if still new? i realize they wont be worth as much but are they worth any more than say.......what they sold for?

[SoulBlazer]

I doubt it. Second releases of games for any system are not worth anywhere NEAR the first runs unless they are very rare or the second release is just as rare as the first, or there's some other special reason.

(For example, you might consider the two Lunar games for the PSX as a 'second release', but they were really remakes.)
