It took me 3 months before I got my hands on a US copy, the PAL version seems to be suffering from similar stock shortages and previous Fire Emblems can go for insane prices. I'd buy it ASAP. It's a bloody fantastic game as well, lots of people just won't touch turn based games but Fire Emblem shows how wrong those people are.

I downloaded Final Fantasy VII last night on the PS3. Last time I played it was when it was released, 16 years ago ( :eek: ) and I was only 14 at the time, doing my jnr cert.
Played through an hour of it today, some serious nostalgia! Hopefully the game still has the magic it had back then. I still remember the day I got it, fired it up and that first moment when Cloud jumps off the train. And, I got to seesephiroth killing aerith (hope I didnt spoil that for anyone lol!)before it was common knowledge.
That was a whole summer spent playing that game
If I recall, my final clock time on it was something like 120 hours, does that sound right?
I probably wont play all the way through this time, maybe just get to the point where you leave Midgar. €10 well spent!0 -

The best part of the game is the first 10 hours in Midgar. Absolute bliss
The rest of the game is great but it peaked early. I doubt it'll take you 120 hours, unless you spend ages wandering, leveling up as much as you can and doing everything.
Should be able to get through the whole thing start to finish in a fraction of that time - so definitely stick it out.0 -

It's a 40-50 hour game if you don't go after the two emerald optional bosses. The first few hours in midgar are wonderfully paced and while it kind of dies a bit afterwards and loses pacing it's still a good game.
I hope you got it from the US store because the European version plays significantly slower.

I had no idea about that
It seems to play just fine though, does that appl to all psone titles? Just for future reference. Looking forward to getting home tonight and getting stuck into it properly. I dont know where I got the 120 figure out of, but I thought thats what I clocked it at the first time. I did do a lot of farting around in it though, exploring everthing and doing loads of grinding. Getting lost a few times as well, so maybe it all added up.
I can barely remember the story as well, just some of the key points. So it should be like a new experiance

Yeah it plays fine because you only played the European version originally. Ignorance is bliss However if you play the US one and see how better it plays then you'll never be able to go back.
For future reference nearly all European games on the European store are badly optimised PAL versions, there's a few exceptions, Kula World is well optimised (since it was on release) and there's stuff like he japanese imports which are the japanese versions of the games and Resident Evil 2 and 3 are actually the US versions so run faster. European games until recently when they started to give 60Hz options in games and HD TVs (which run at 60 FPS) all ran in 50 frames per second with only a handful being optimised to bring them in line with the US and Japanese versions.
Really there's no reason not to get the US versions, they are cheaper (playasia sell digital PSN codes at cost now). Just be advised if you plan to play them on a Vita you will need two memory cards, one for your EU account and one for the US one.

Been playing a lot of Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge lately. It uses the same engine and even some of the same enemies and sprites as the reviled Castlevania Adventure. It's really amazing what a few improvements and actual level design can do for a game because it's one of the best vania games I've ever played. The soundtrack is so good as well.

Gave Sunset Riders on the Megadrive a go last night - it's really not very good at all is it?
I find the number of hookers in this game slightly disturbing. It's almost more a game about a cowboy sexing his way across the west. Into one brothel after a next. Some hookers even pay him, so does that mean he's in fact a man of the night himself?
They even have hookers in the bank

Yeah, I'd love to pick it up
Is the PCB big? (It's one of those ones with a mobo and game cart mounted isn't it?)
I'm trying to stay away from larger pcbs. Have a hard time trying to fit Raiden and The Game Paradise into my cab!
Might actually have to get rid of The Game Paradise as I probably won't be using it much because of the hassle.0 -

Nah it's on the small side actually, yeah cart is mounted on top, a good bit smaller than Raiden. 0 -
