Final Fantasy has been milking gamers since 1987... There have been spinoffs of spinoffs and it seems as though it will never end. What I want to know is how much have you spent on Final Fantasy? *I got the idea from this post - http://dothackers.net/bbs/viewtopic.php ... ight=spent

Here are a list of the games and movies this series has had... it would be difficult to find prices for each so I will have to give an educated guess.. Here goes!

Thats all of it.. I think...
Anyways I have plaid Every game from 1-12 excluding 4 and 11... That makes 11 if you count 10-2.

I have bought Advent Children on UMD
as well as all of the GBA-DS Compilations (5-6) and Dirge of Cerberus.. That makes 7 spin offs and games.

18 games X $40.00 Per game= $720

OUCHIES

Final Fantasy Adventure should be put under the Seiken Senstu series (holy sword legend) or Mana Series. As it is one of their games, saying its a Final Fantasy spinoff it is not, but a seperate series in its own right.

Bahamut Lagoon and Vagrant Story are not part of the Final Fantasy series either, they are set in a different world and are different games. Vagrant Story is more or less a movie with the boring bits left in XD.

and the final fantasy legends (Saga Series) are not a spin off either they are a seperate game just the lack of insight of square to attach the name of Final Fantasy to every single thing Japan has produce to translate it and release it here.

Somewhere around $400 I'd say. I've bought some of them twice since I sold them off years ago or they stopped working. I'm a fan but not a major fan.

Final Fantasy VII (twice)
Final Fantasy VIII (twice)
Final Fantasy IX (twice)
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2 (Twice.. don't ask)
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy Chronicles (Chrono trigger, Final Fantasy IV)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

The only Final Fantasy product I've bought is Final Fantasy XII: Collector's Edition. I might buy Final Fantasy XIII. If you want to nit-pick, than you could also include me paying to see the first Final Fantasy movie in the theaters. I don't have much interest in the previous games, and I definitely don't have any interest in all the Final Fantasy VII spin-offs.

I'm hating the series actually, it's long and boring and technically the title itself makes me angry every time I see it released.

" IT'S NEVER FINAL IS IT!? "

Also, the only game I will consider is Final Fantasy Versus XIII mostly due to the guy having kickass swords...it's the first FF trailer to impress me and PS3! woot.

Other then that...the series makes me sick =.=;

Damn..chocobo's..and...moogles..

i know the history of how final fantasy was born and where it got its name from :roll: i bought FFTA 3 times so i could play my bros in the multiplayer, i bought the recently remade DS one, XI, and i forgot the other one i bought (something about a paliden forced to live as a black knight or something) its hard to keep track of some of em. I borrowed FF7; & 8, rented Crystal Chronicles twice; X three times; & X-2 once. Renting price was like $7 each time. so lessee...
somewhere around $272 probly more but i cant remember if i got anything else at the moment.

btw does Kingdom Hearts count since its like 40% final fantasy stuff?

KHs is more FF than Final Fantasy Legends, Adventure, Bahamut Lagoon and Vagrant Story all together. KH is more of a spin off than any of the mentioned above.

Translation of OP: Sqaure makes too many !@#$ing Final Fantasies.

ANYWAYS.

Lesse. 7 was 20, 8 was 20, never played it fully. 9 was free. 10 was fifty I think. And 11 was..alot since it was for ps2.

300? Wow. I'm not even a huge fan of FF, lol.

theres is only one right answer and thats not enough.

evll33t, I think I have come up with the correct answer.

Considering I've owned at least every single one of those(minus Chocobo Series, XI, and XIII) at least once... Wow. I have either lost or traded most of everything made before X.

Does this include merchendise? I have a replica of Sephiroth, Cloud, Tidus, and Leon's swords, Vincent's gun(custom), Selphie's nunchucks(custom), and Yuffie's ninja star(custom). Not to mention all the gloves, keychains, backpack/purses, manga/doujinshi, belts, hats, jackets/pants/shirts, CDs, jewelry, plushies/dolls/models, art books, and game guides.

All-in-all, I'd say I spent about two thousand dollars. Probably more. I should start keeping a list of all my weaboo expenses.

WITHOUT the merchendise it would be about... five hundred, I think. I've traded games in for other games and recieved some as gifts, so I can't really count about ten of them.

I believe I win this thread, but fail at life.

Heh. $0? ^^;;

I haven't played/seen/whatever any Final Fantasy thing ever. My friend wants me to start playing it though... she said she'd lend me Advent Children so I could watch it and fall in love with Cloud. Buuut I really don't see that happening. Both the lending and falling in love part.

$0, I did play my big brother's PC version of VIII, but the battle system bored me out before I finished the second disc.

I've Actually spent quite alot on FF. I really wouldn't say I am A FF Fanatic, But still, I could use a break from the same shi* different day routine of FF.

But, my vote was for $500+-----need an Intervention. I don't need one, but, still, I'm looking for something new to come to the FF series.

Cause it is kinda getting old.
