I always say it's 12 but I played 11 online for about 6 years and then 14 online since the infamously bad alpha testing period and I still play it now, it's just celebrated it's 4th anniversary.

We just got onto the PS4 Dissidia Beta and it's really fun, we played it in the arcades when we went to Tokyo and now it's coming to consoles.

Right now I'm playing ff7 on the ps4 and ff3 on my ds.
I'm still firm that 7 is the best of the series

I like 6 better than 7 ;) and I think 8 had a better storyline and a far better soundtrack, but I know it has legions of fans :lol:

Have you ever been to any of the Distant Worlds concerts? I've been 3 times to the Royal Albert Hall, and I also went to a smaller Chamber Orchestra style one called A New World in St Luke's London, we sat next Nobuo and his assistant in the Church Hall and Sam, my other half was beside himself :lol:

Knights of the Round? Bahamut Zero or Hades?

FFXIV is a bit of Fan Service to the series, like a bit of a greatest hits and has loads of the old summons and primals as fights in raids and dungeons, Knights of the Round is particularly epic!

Knights of the round and bahamut zero. I've never played XIV because I lost a lot of faith after the XIII series. Which still makes me shudder to this day.

It's an MMO so it's not like the storyline games, but they do have story arcs as main quest lines which you need to complete to get to the endgame. You can play for free up to level 35 so it's worth a go to see if you like it. I think you can buy the non-expansion pack version for about a tenner.

So how much does it cost after l35?

That's the other reason to be honest because I don't find it right to be spending £40+ and then to be charged extra monthly. But that's me. I mean if I can play up to 35 for nothing then I'll take a look. At some point [emoji2]

FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

Yeah, it's always like that with MMOs because the development and server cost has to be paid for somehow. FFXIV is overtaking World of Warcraft for subscribers though now, it's like a money making machine!

I can understand Kingdom Hearts crossover, but Ass Creed makes no sense whatsoever. I mean what's next final fantasy fallout. God that would be fun, beefcake gladiolos beating the hell out of a deathclaw [emoji38]

FF7 a masterpiece, FF3 not far behind(may seem a bit quaint nowadays) gave up on FF8, both 9 & 10 seemed a bit too Japanese(in a bad way) and maybe aimed at a more female player, just my opinion tho, playing as a petulant teen idol type was a bit 'meh' for me anyway:lol:. The newer games also seem aimed at long sessions which I just can't be arsed with.

FFX is great, to be honest Tidus isn't bad a character, just whiney. Now Wakka he was annoying

So I've been playing FFXV for god knows how long and if I'm honest. It has grown on me so much that it definitely makes my top five and is something I cannot help but tell people to play.

So Episode Ardyn is going to be the only episode coming out, which is a shame because I was looking forward to the Aranea episode.
