Final Fantasy 8 & 9 and Grim Fadango question

Hi,

I am looking at getting a new game and it is going to be 1 of these 3. Before i actually buy them i was wondering if any of them would play on either XP or Vista. At the moment i have 2 PC's, 1 running XP another Vista.

I'm useless at the technical side of games so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :D

i'd go with grim fandango. but then again, i hate ff and all jrpgs. i consider grim fandango the best adventure game of all time.

here's a guide detailing how to get grim fandango to work on xp:

Thanks alot.

Does anyone know about FF?

Is FF9 even out on PC? I guess you can get FF8 and make it look a lot better than the ps1 version. Just google and visit some forums, they'll tell you how to do that.

I'd get both, it's not like they cost a lot. (or do they?)

yes u can play Final fantasy 8 using windows XP its one of the best FF games but there isnt FF9 pc version.

Be warned if you have a recent graphics card then you'll have to run FF8 in Software mode. It doesn't look too great.

FF7 has however been modded to make the graphics look a lot better.

How do i run it in software mode?

And are you saying FF7 will work normal, just install and play?

7 works 8 doesn't work that well and never was a 9 on pc and grim don't knowm best bet for 8 is to get the psx version

You set it up in the config.

The reason why there is a problem is because recent graphics cards haven't got Pixel Shaders (or something along those lines).

FF7 has apparently been modded, which you would need to install. I actually don't know if FF7 has the same problem as FF8 with pixle shaders...

Also I personally wouldn't bother with FF8 get Grim Fandango, but that's just my personal opinion.

FF8 has got atrocious ported controls from the Play Station

FF9 isn't on PC

FF7 and 8 didn't work on my PC

Either way, go with Grim Fandango, it's a much better game than any FF

ff7 is the best choice grim sucks

there is ff8 demo for pc i tried it and it worked on my pc search for it and download it before buying it.
