It's not you, it's us.

I am an utter freak, I could (probably) name you every boss in order in that game. The shit your 12-14 year old brain stores is bizarre.

I've never played anything prior to FFVII. I know V and VI get a lot of love. Should I bother with the rest and what's the best way to get hold of them now? I see a few on the app store, but £5.99 and £10.99 seem a bit much, when I could get them, elsewhere.

Right...

I & II: The iPhone versions aren't Retina compatible and are a bit meh. You'd be better off with the GBA or PSP versions (the PSP versions are 50% but not for much longer).
III: DS or smartphone, it's all good. There's a PSP version coming soon but it might not get out of Japan.
IV: God, this has been on everything - GBA, DS, even a recent version for the PSP with the sequel included (I think this on offer as well at the moment). Take your pick.
V: Only available as a PSone Classic on the PSN and on GBA. The PSone localisation is shit, although I think that's discounted as well. Tempted to say go for GBA or wait until a later remake.
VI: Only as PSone Classic and on GBA. The PSone Classic version has load times and is just a tweaked version of the old localisation, although I don't think it's supposed to be a total abortion.

Honestly, I'd just get VI and not bother too much with the others. I played it on a SNES emulator and the PS1 version.

I'll second that, it's a must play. IV and V are just okay.

Now you mention it those load times were pretty exruciating. For some reason it needs to load in the menu screen whenever you switch to it, and even though it's just a couple of seconds it's something you need to do a lot - healing after a battle, for instance, or changing equipment... Got on my tits that.

I've started playing FFVI again as Theatrhythm made me all nostalgic and I never got that far in the GBA version. Playing it on my teeny tiny Micro.

I want to list them all but I also don't because I know i'll forget a few like that Flying Sea Serpent you fight in Junon.

I mean it's name, which gamefaqs tells me is Bottomswell hur hur.

Materia Keeper, but he's not in the Reactor, just a cave in the mountains, right? I remember them by how much I hated fighting them as a child, so Gi Natak and his two Soul Flames always stays high in my memory because Cosmo Canyon was awesome for story, but nails hard to fight through.

Cosmo was piss easy, everything was damaged by Cure!

As for the Antlion boss on 9, you just need to make sure everyone is immune to whatever status effect he inflicts with his sandstorm attack. I think it was confusion.

I had good fun with the DS version of FFIII, but I never completed it.

The FFXII sequel, Revenant Wings, however, was a complete pig. I couldn't even beat the tutorial. No idea what I was doing wrong.

YOUR OPINION IS WRONG.

I loved the opening of 8 with the sea assault, I remember playing the demo of that and being in awe. Also, trains.

How so?
9 is easily the best out of those 3.

9's music is not the best. Thankfully it is colourful as fuck.

Ah the villain. I forgot he existed. What a pro.
