And I must admit, that the graphics on FF7 really are awful.. so many times I've gotten stuck because I couldn't figure out where everything led, the graphics just weren't good enough, and I ended up finding them just through trial and error.
thats playstation for you graphics were never good on psx. n64 beat psx in graphics in my opinion (but to many psx fanboys brainwashed everyone which is kinda of sad since psx and ps2 arent that great of a console) ... the only game that had good graphics on psx was chrono cross.

I think Ps2's are good.. although I don't own one of my own and need to use my partner's. I think they're quite good, I'm considering getting one of my own, as I like the fact that you can play psx games on them. I "borrowed" and "forgot" to give my ex his N64 back after I we split, and do enjoy playing Zelda on it. I must admit that the graphics in Zelda are probably better than FF7, but the plotline is a lot simpler..

I just can't stand the save points. They annoy me.

Well, Zelda was a action RPG, so it was basically as it seems, an action game with role playing tendencies.

The original PSX was pretty iffy in the 3-D department. The N64 was better at it, though the only real problem was the limited space and the blurry textures. :/

Also, Chrono Cross is definately one of my favorites games ever, right behind Xenogears(best story EVER!!!)

i can agree with you on xenogears having the best story ever but the gameplay put me to sleep and chrono cross had average gameplay and avergage story chrno trigger much better

I loooooove Animal Crossing. It's so cute and addictive. Seriously you will keep playing and playing b/c you want to see each day what new thing has happened b/c it follows a real time schedule pretty much based on what you put into the gamecube as your time and date. and you get things on holidays and there are special event days and all sorts of stuff.hehe

The last time I played one of these games was back in the early 90's with Final Fantasy II or III (for the Super NES). I'm pretty much out of the loop on this series.

yeah, i read about that...the bad thing is i don't have the time i used to have for video games and fun and whatever (damn work)...i do have tomorrow off from work so i'll stay home for most of the day and play my gamecube..

anyways, i bought a gamecube today with Animal Crossing (which I haven't played yet - no memory card. it comes with one (which is like 59 blocks or something and that game alone needs 59 - 61), but i used the space for Super Monkey Ball) and..Super Monkey Ball...and plan on getting Crystal Chronicles and Viewtiful Joe next Tuesday (paycheck..)..a memory card, and a wireless controller. probably going to have to hold off on one game for another week cause i have bills and $50 i owe someone...anyways, i was talkin with a dude who works at best buy today and he said crystal chronicles is the shit right now..i've heard mixed reviews from what i've read on the internet oO so i don't know. i lack the multiplayer thingy since everyone i know works or is in school...blah...

so to those of you who have crystal chronicles - is it any fun playing..by yourself?

Oh man, Xenogears, don't get me started on that. Jeeesus Christ, is that an amazing game. I think i could go on for hours making Xenogears references....Zohar? Wave Existence!? What!? What!?

Hmm, I never really thought it was.. other than the real-time fighting (which I prefer, it seems a lot more realistic).

I may have to get my partner Kingdom Hearts - I'm no good at it but it was good fun when I played it round a friend's.

From what I have played of it by myself, it is ok, but playing multiplayer is the best thing about it.

I completely recommend a Wave Bird, they are the greatest controllers ever. It runs off of radio waves rather than infrared waves so the wave bird will work thru walls and across the house. The battery life is decent too, maybe about 10-20 hours on 2 AA batteries.

If you can find it anywhere, get Eternal Darkness. That game will fuck with you man. Like, you will be sitting there and your sanity meter will be kinda low, then all of a sudden, the Gamecube will bluescreen like an old PC, then it will flash and your character will be screaming "ITS NOT REALLY HAPPENING......" Its a really damn cool game.

Metroid Prime is fucking awesome also. My copy is fucked, so I may go get a new copy sometime soon. It wouldn't hurt too much cause it's down to 30 bucks now.
