There are the FFVII and FFVIII ports... But I wouldn't recommend the former, it's really, really horrible in quality. VIII might be okay if you get it to work.
Of course you can always emulate easily all the FFs from I-VI, although that's more or less illegal... And the US versions might not be all that great in comparison to latter ports.

I was never able to finish it. There was some kind of bug or glitch where I couldn't get past a certain part. I don't remember the specifics, but I had to get some gas masks to get through a certain area and go slay some god or something. Anyway, even after getting the masks it wouldn't let me through. I tried a bunch of different ways. I even re-installed and replayed the game. Nothing worked.NeutralDrow said:
I'm going to suggest something different, since it seems everyone has the rest covered.
Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy 2 were released on iTunes for the ipod touch and iphone (9 bucks each). I bought FF1 almost a month ago, and I still haven't beat it.
These are classic JRPGs, and hardly complex by todays standards. The characters you control in FF1 are 4 mutes, and goals are as simple as "restore the crystals to power." The game is challenging in parts... very challenging. So, it's worth some attention if you favor old-old school games.
The art direction I love. It's close to FF6, with it's revamped graphics. So graphicly, it's very pleasing to the eye, if not simple.

Huh. Been a while since I played; that sounds like Shell 6, using the gas masks obtained from Shell 4...okay, so I remember more than I thought (I also remember needing Earplugs later for the same type of puzzle). Did everyone have the gas masks equipped?thepopeofatheism said:
Only bug I ever encountered was because I was technically cheating. You can enter in a code that shows you enemy health and action bars (I used that and the "enemy line of sight" code), but if you did that and used the Big Bang or Black Hole spells, the bars would disappear and the game would crash. Had to get used to turning the code off and on mid-combat.
thanks for the comments guys, I might have to try emulators, or I may just replay DA and get the new expansion, shame though, I really fancied playing an over-the-top jrpg.
Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and The Last Remnant. Those are really the only ones I know of, unless you want Shin Megami Tensei Imagine online, but that's an MMO.rowan-thats-me said:
I hope this helps.
As mentioned before, The Last Remnant is a pretty good jRPG, but it's really a 'love it or hate it' kind of game. You'll love the tactical gameplay, the big open world, the many characters, and the well-paced story or you'll hate the very confusing (at first) battle system, the dorky main character, the occasional lack of a direction, and the overall lack of clarity in how the game's various systems work.
Final Fantasy 7 and 8 were released for the PC, and they're fan favorites. I prefer 8 myself, but both are must-plays if you like jRPGs.
Septerra Core suffers from poor pacing, both in the storyline and during individual battles, but other than that it's a great game with an engaging story, cool characters, and some nice gameplay elements.
Anachronox is a very underrated game in the genre (I'm guessing because, like Septerra Core, it's not made by a big Asian developer), but I consider it a must-play. It's got good gameplay, an interesting story, and a quirky sense of humor.
