Hey im looking into downloading FF 7-9 on the ps3. Im new to the FF series and i wanted to know are these downloads worth getting. The games themselves and also if there have been any significant alterations form the original that may make them less fun. Also any feedback on which is better would be great.

There are no alterations. They are the same games and if you haven't played any of them before, hell yes they're worth getting.

I think so, unless I remember incorrectly. I haven't played them myself but I was sure I heard something about trophies.

I think it was just a rumor, currently no PSone games have added trophy support, but if they did I'd buy Bloody Roar 2 again even though I have the disc original haha

Hmm, seems I was mistaken. Could've sworn I heard about trophies for it before though.

I think 8 is the best. Totally worth $50 if you ask me.

Hmm...Some say VIII, some say IX, but just because it has become trendy to dislike VII...!

They're three very good games, you can't go wrong with any of them, really!

Depends. A lot of people like 7 and a lot of people like 8. Personally, the whole romance theme in 8 kind of ruined it for me. 7 had more redemption and heroic themes and overall I enjoyed it more.

I tend to say this in every thread that mentions ff7-9. They are all good but to know which one you want to start off with I think you should consider the environmental/world settings of each game. FF7 have a very post apocalyptic and trashy feel. FF8 feel very "futuristic fantasy" and FFIX is more medieval and very very fantasy-ish. I'd recommend FFIX because I liked this one the most while I had a very hard time getting completely enjoying FF7 because I did not like the scenery very much at all.

In other words, don't let people convince you that "x"s story is better than "y" or whatever, take a look at some screenshots from all 3 of them and try to decide which one you think you would like the most.

100% agreed.
FFIX in my opinion had the better story, characters, character build system and gameplay. Also, I do believe it's the longest of the three?

But on topic, buythem all, they're all amazing.

All are good. It all comes down to personal preferences about the characters in my opinion that determines which you'll like the most. I liked Zidane more than Squall and Cloud due to his charisma and energy. All the games had great stories, events, sidequests, etc. But it came down to characters as the reason why I prefer IX over VII and VIII.
