The list author says: "My favorite RPG series for good reason: the stories and plot twists are always first class and surprising! System Info: The Playstation 2 will play Playstation 1 Games, as well as DVDs. However there may be some problems getting them to run properly; this depends on the model PS2 you have, and which game version you own. Also be aware that PS1 games can only be saved to a PS1 memory card. For Nintendo owners, each generation of GameBoy hardware (up to the GBA) will easily play the software of older generations. For example, the GBA will play GameBoy Advance games, GameBoy Color games, and original GameBoy games, but WILL NOT play DS games. There are, of course, a few exceptions, but none of these is a Final Fantasy game. The DS will play both DS and GBA games. Another cool option is the GameBoy Player. This attaches to the bottom of the Gamecube, and allows you to play your GBA games on your T.V. The Wii will also play Gamecube games. Only certain versions of the PS3 will play PS1 & PS2 games. The GameBoy titles Final Fantasy Legend I-III, and Final Fantasy Adventure are NOT Final Fantasy games, but belong to the SaGa and Mana series, respectively. FF Type-0; FF Legends: Warriors of Light and Darkness. Now with over 40 titles, the second half of this list is entitled Final Fantasy Forever II. http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Forever-II/lm/R8FURU3YMGB9Y/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full"
