MidwestPX 172 Posted March 12, 2016 My sister is a Final Fantasy fanatic and with a remake of 7 coming out, I'd like to get her a Playstation 4 for her upcoming birthday. She had a PS4 at one point but sold it because her boyfriend (now ex) was a loser and she sold it to make ends meet one month (grad student on financial aid and has a full time job already that's six months behind in paying her). I haven't had a console in ages so I'm not sure if there's any difference between the models beyond onboard storage. Anyone care to chime in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are different bundles out there, however that come with different games/controllers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted March 12, 2016 Yeah ps4 is pretty much as advertised. I will definitely get the ff7 remake. That was one of the first rpgs I ever played. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Patrick 638 Posted March 12, 2016 Pro tip: buy her an xbox Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK25 V 3 Posted March 12, 2016 Would rather put an xbox on a thrower and treating it like a clay bird then buy one again after having a few of them dealing with the Red Ring of Death. Go with a PS4 never had a problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted March 12, 2016 She's not a console gamer really so there's no PS4 vs. Xbox debate. This is literally just so she can play this one game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted March 12, 2016 Wow that's a pretty good investment for one game. At least she'll have a blue ray player and netflix/amazon hub Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figure this gives her some leisure activity reliving childhood memories (I unabashedly love FF6 and FF7 too). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted March 12, 2016 Maybe buy a used PS4 then? Cheapest new I see is on eBay @ $299.99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/121906538093?rmvSB=true Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,439 Posted March 12, 2016 Is the game available on either console? Not to make it a console debate but both have some pretty significant non-game features she might find useful. It seems like a big cost just to play one game... If you can get her one she can keep using after she tires of the game, even better. Both will stream movies. I think the Xbox can integrate with and control a cable box. Etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,878 Posted March 12, 2016 I think it's only coming for the PS4. Square Enix announced the news during Sony’s press conference at E3 tonight, following a day full of rumors. “Play it first on PlayStation,” read the trailer, implying that it’ll be out for PC and Xbox One too. Implying but still no actual proof that it will come out on other platforms. It will be on PS4 first, however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The good news is I thought it was a PS4 exclusive but if it's ported to PC, she can play it on the machine I built for her. The bad news is, if it's ported to PC, it's going to absorb my life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
