I hated final fantasy for years, like most people saying its crap and whats the big fuss about, then i played FF9 and was hooked, i loved it its my favourite, i watched my mate complete FF8, and now im on FF7 getting ready for the new movie FF7: Advent Children

FF-X2 looks so girlyfied its funny, my brother has it and its so funny "oh no, dont make my shoes dirty" etc :P

hehe, hope that sparks some sort of conversation for you

Bucking the trend, my fave FF single-player game is FF8. I loved the atmosphere, story and characters. Yes, even Squall (you shallow people you).

Current favourite is FFXI. Online games just beat all others :)

If your last post wasn't "very popular", then why do you think this one will be? Quit with the repeat/double posting, guys. You'd know all about it if the administrator was online... ^_~

But since I'm here, I'll talk about FF anyway. My favourite was FF9, it was the first FF game I got to the last disk on. I couldn't get past a certain area and just gave up on it... I'll have to start playing it again soon. ^_^

Ive only really played FF7 all the way through. I had been playing FF9 at one point, but then my Memory Card decided to die on me :(

I was going to get FF:CC at some point, but i got .Hack instead :D

I agree with anyone who has stated this already,
FFVII Kicked ass over all the other Ff's stories and thats why they're making the sequel to it in the interactive movie Advent Children. However the garphics were extremely poor, but as long as the stories good i mean hey its playable.

I played FF IX, X and X-2 and currently I'm playing VIII. I like VIII best, it's a cool story with very cool characters. My favourite characters are Squall and Seifer. I'm planning on playing the other FF's too.

SpiderVirus
22-04-2004, 03:41 pm
VIII is so many peoples favourites

mine is 9 because its like cartoony graphics, with such a serious story, i love it

i recommend you play VII next because of the movie coming soon is set 2 years after 7, and it looks amazing, and has some of the characters, but not others, it looks like WOW

lol

I'm going to play VII too (I hope), and I think the movie will be really cool. Can someone tell me what kind of movie it will be?

SpiderVirus
22-04-2004, 04:46 pm
well its set 2 years after the game, it includes flash backs of the game in new CG

including the Sephrioth in the Fire on disk 1 of the game, possible the most evil part of the games :D and even has a full CG of the end of disk 1 (i wont say what happens, it'll spoil parts of disk 1 for you if i do, but players will hopefully know what i mean)

a new enemy attacks, beleived to be associated with sephrioth, in some trailers theres a shaowy person in a wheel chair, some people beleive it to be sephioth, others dont, but Cloud and Tifa are still in it :) there are many fight scenes, and its in full CG again, and looks ALOT more promising than The Spirits Within, and is blatenly going to be THE movie of the year when its released

bein a novice at all things ff a think i'll like that movie:D

SpiderVirus
22-04-2004, 04:55 pm
lol, i tried playing FF7 before and was so bored, i think it was because the start of the game is so grey i found it boring to train, but after seeing the trailers for the movie ive trained in the grey so much im alot stronger than i need to be, lol, and im zapping away :D

as soon as its released in japan my mates getting an import without subtitles just so he can see it, then when its released with subtitles or translated he's getting that too hehe

I've played quite a few FF games... the sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, tenth and "tenth-part-two" releases, plus Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Advance. My favourite is still the very first one I played through, Final Fantasy VII. Everything about it is great (the graphics are a little outdated, of course), and I regard it as the best videogame ever made.

I'm a fan of the series, but the recent games (to be more accurate, FFX and X-2) did disappoint me a little. They're still great games, but I notice somewhat of a quality decrease compared to the older ones, such as VI and VII.

Square had better schedule an european Advent Children release! I'm pretty confident they will, anyway, since the series are pretty popular worldwide. Japanese with subtitles, if I may ask.

Well that's a pretty popular accident. It's somewhat of a initiation ritual to the videogame world, being stabbed in the back by your memory card. Curse 'em unnoficial memory cards, those auto-formatting bastards. :rolleyes:

FFVIII had a great soundtrack, that's for sure. The one thing I didn't like was the storyline (more like the time period - not much fantasy around) and the growth system. The GF thing didn't convince me.

As for FFX-2... it's a good game but, compared to the earlier FFs, it is overwhelmingly short. I got the perfect ending in just 40 hours. Too little, compared to the 150+ hours Final Fantasy X took me.

Every Final Fantasy is awsome I am currently playing 7 I've completed X and X-2 (but I got a crappy end sequence).

One thing I've noticed is that everyone who hates final fantasy usually hasn't even played on it. I watched someone play it and I thought it looked crap but when I had a go on it it played excellent and the amazing thing is that it was ff8 the worst one so when I played 9 I was completely and uterlly hooked on it I now own 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10-2. And I know there are people who have played it and don't like it and I don't want an earfull off them so this next bit is for people who haven't played it.

You can buy 7 and 8 for about 10 pound and 9 for about 15 so I urge everyone who hasn't played a Final Fantasy game at least give it a chance and for a tenner it's not going to set fire to your wallet so PLEASE AT LEAST PLAY A FINAL FANTASY GAME BEFORE YOU JUDGE IT.

I have news on Final Fantasy Advent Children, both good and bad news.

I dont know if this has been posted already yet i was too excited to read, so i came to post

Due to lack of intrest in the first Final Fantasy Movie, the second will not be released in Cinema's past Japan, however, it is being released straight to DVD in US and UK

:D

GrandmasterB
27-04-2004, 05:14 pm
FFI and FFII are prehestoric compared to golden sun ;) :p
So I assume golden sun is (way) better than FFI+II, even though I haven't played these two FF's. I'm going to buy them soon (FF origins) once I find it. I hope I can find VII and VIII in stores too.

Shadow
27-04-2004, 11:25 pm

27-04-2004, 11:28 pm
I only heard rumors about that one and I can't find anything about that one yet, and i also really like the Golden Sun games because it really has a nice story, and I like games with a nice story (Like FF VII :) )

Shadow
27-04-2004, 11:32 pm
yea the story is nice and involving-i like the djinn, ff1&2 dont have a great story, just the standard - ur the unlikely warroirs off to save the land from sumthin, but then they r old games,

Mookine2002
27-04-2004, 11:35 pm
I agree with both of ur statements... I think the djinni are better in the second game thou cus u got more combanations etc. it was more fun

Golden Sun is a GBA version of Anthology (PSOne) isnt it?

The story of FF1 is that the apocolypse is coming, and the 4 light warriors will come to save the world, which starts with the typical saving princes from so-an-so, and healing elf prince etc. lol

Its about a boy and girl who's parents go missing, when they try to find them they get onto a mysterious train that takes them to a fantasy world (i forget its name, something like dreamland or something) then they meet up with a detective and a man with a gun that can summon

in the world is a baddy sending his henchmen to stop them, the kids are looking for their parents, and the detective woman is helping them, so far theres been many fights, summons, but not too much on story other than that

Oh, and its Animated :D lol

jordell
29-04-2004, 05:25 pm
I've seen the first two episodes on FF unlimited and i have to say its quite dissapointing, and doesn't live up to FF's reputation. It seems repetitive like when an enemy shows up the kids and the girl struggle and then the Gun Guy comes and summons a monster and thats what happens throughtout most that i've seen. If you want an advanced review check here: http://www.ukanime.com/template2.php?page=review.php&id=120

SpiderVirus
29-04-2004, 07:58 pm
its a good anime for kids, but its made for about 12 year olds and anime fanatics

so its disapointing in many sences, but great in others

i think the easiest way to describe it is the first few episodes of Evangelion, they are so small fight scenes, and seem really crap, but once you watch the series it becomes excellent.
I think FF-U will be like that, but i only seen first 4 episodes atm, i'll let you know about next 4 when i get that dvd

I've seen about the first 20, I had to download them cuz they don't get broadcasted in the Netherlands but they're pretty good but there should be a little more action in the fight cuz all that happens is: The one with the gun sais it moved and he shoots the shit out of the enemy(wich looks good). The only fights that are pretty good are the fights with the demon swordsman.

SpiderVirus
30-04-2004, 12:55 pm

Well mine is Final Fantasy 7 cuz it has the best story and characters, you can say the graphics are bad but they were good for it's time so you can't compare the graphics to the new Final Fantasy games and without comparing that 7 is the best by far.

jordell
30-04-2004, 05:59 pm
I like all the Final Fantasy games to be honest, although 8 seems to be my favourite overall. The games are good, just the anime from what i've seen isn't so good.

I just ordered some ff games for my colection. I ordered FF Origins (I and II), FF Anthology (FF IV and FF V), FF VII, FF VIII and FF VIII strategy guide :p .
I allready have FF IX, X and X-2 and FF IX and X-2 strategy guides. I'm going to try to play all of them, though I'm not sure I will succeed :p .
Of all the (PS/PS2 games) games I only need FF III and FF VI, and I thought these are the same (one of them the european and one of them the american version or something like that).
I'm sure I have enough games to play for the upcoming years :D

This topic has been brought up in the Moderator board aswel

it seem that some users have the option to change the name and other havent

as Kite said, he was able to change it from the beginning and i think he's on 70 something posts, im a senior member with 200 + and i havent got the option to change it

it seems some members have the choice, and some dont, Mookine and i have been closley posting together and she has the option and i dont

My favourite game is FFVIII because it was my first one, but the best game is still FFIX because i like the charakters and the story^^

the whole FF-world is wonderful. I also think, that FF is better than Hack(sry about that)....

But I´ve a question: I heard, that somebody has the game FFXI. How could this be? Where are you living?? Here in germany, we`ve just FFX-2 and it still takes his time to come to us...

I´m so sad about that

I have played all the ff games that have been released except for FFXI...it is an online game and I can´t afford the price to pay for it yet...but my favourite game is FFVII...because the music is good...the one when facing sepihroth(can´t spell his name right so) and the story is excellent...and my favourite charachters is Cloud(of course), then Vincent(likes his limit breaks) than at last Cid(likes his weapons)

Does anyone know where you can order the Final Fantasy Unlimited DVD's region 2? I only found region 1, but I thought the first DVD was allready released in the UK so there has to be a region 2 somewhere. I'm thinking of ordering the first DVD, I allready downloaded the first episode and it seems pretty good. I hope someone knows where I could order the DVD in region 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know where I could order or buy the action figures of Final Fantasy VIII? Here are the pictures of the ones I mean:

http://www.archonia.com/images/items/14207.jpg

http://www.archonia.com/images/items/14204.jpg

I have seen them in different boxes, but they are really hard to find. I found some sites, but most of them where out of stock or no longer available (like on archonia.com). I believe they are form bandai. Does anyone know a site where they sell them? For the Dutch people, does anyone know a store where they are sold in The Netherlands?

Yeah, that's the series that GrandmasterB mentioned, Final Fantasy Unlimited. I haven't seen it yet, mainly because i've heard mixed opinions about it - some people say it's good, others say that it's not. The first two volumes are available in region 2 format.

As for where you can buy it in the UK, HMV usually has it in stock. Or if you want to buy it online try Play.com or Amazon. I think it's £14.99 with free delivery for each volume from Play.

Final Fantasy totally rocks!

I've got I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2 and Tactics advance. I suppose you could call me a fanboy :D

My faves are definitely VII and X, they have hugely immersive storylines, and VII isn't afraid to dwell on some of the seedier sides of city life! Not forgetting Square stretching their censorship freedom to the extreme!

Does anyone know if III's ever gonna be released on PlayStation? It's the only numbered title I haven't got, and all my others are on PlayStation (except Tactics of course!)

As for Chocobos, I don't care what colour they are, as long as they say "Wark" and not "Kweh":p

Hogso

Gotta get in on this topic!!
I have Final Fantasies I>X-2 (not III) , Tactics, Tactics Advance, CC, and Mystic Quest!!
I also got Xenogears on import a few years back (a Square side-project), and for me its up there with Final Fantasy VII (easily my fave FF) :D
I really enjoyed playing FF5 + 6 on re-release as well though.
I've recently made a History of FF site for my College coursework, but it isn't up yet...

PS. on the subject of the FF unlimited DVD's, I got phase1 from amazon.co.uk. Really good few episodes, and a DVD paked with extras. That was about two months ago, tho and theres still no date for phase2, altho you can get upto phase5 on import

I doubt it, I don't think Square-Enix (or Squenix as I shall call it form now on) make games for the PSOne anymore. But they are releasing the first two FF games for the GBA, so there might be a chance of FFIII being released. That's only a guess though.

More news on the game!!

Its called 'Before the Crisis : Final Fantasy VII', and will be available on Sonys new handheld, the PsP (Playstation Portable).
It centers around the Turks and Vincent 6 years before the events of Final Fantasy VII.
Theres some small pics here, and for anyone who can read French, the info may be useful to - http://www.the-sugoi.com/compose.php?Ndate=11052004&Nnum=4


It'll be released at the same time as Advent Children, which is now, by the way, straight to DVD in America and Europe ; cinema release only in Japan

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here play any 'western' rpgs like Baldurs Gate and so forth? I'm not sure why, but I'm just not that interested in them (I'd prefer to play FF any day). However I do really like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic; though that may be because I can be evil in it. :D

Hogso
17-05-2004, 12:13 am
Sorry to go a bit off topic, but GTA:San Andreas was mentioned on this thread, so I thought some of you guys may be interested in this list of confirmed features for the game:

General
- The game is more serious than the others, but the elements of comedy are still there.
- A full staff of research personnel at Rockstar have been studying Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles for months to ensure that they truly capture the feelings of these cities.

Location
- The game will not take place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas. It will take place IN ALL THREE as well as the countryside in between.
- Los Angeles will be called Los Santos, San Francisco will be called San Fieero, and Las Vegas will be called Las Venturra.
- Each city is about the same size as Vice City.
- Not all cities will be open at the start of the game.
- The entire game will be about four to six times as large as Vice City.
- San Fierro (San Francisco) will have hills. This city is more driving based.
- You can drive from LA, through the countryside, up a mountain, into San Fran, and onto Las Vegas.
- Driving through the desert won’t be empty and plain with a couple cacti...it will be vibrant and alive with weird things to see.
- There will be a lot more buildings with open interiors.

Graphics
- The graphics engine has been tweaked. Smog will be present in LA, and real-time reflections on cars, windows, and mirrors, as well as new techniques like radial lighting, which allows for more realistic shadowing, and soft-shadow lighting for interior levels will be present.
- Everything in the game now has independent models for day and night to give better lighting and shadowing.
- The game will have ragdoll physics, or “impact animation” in Rockstar’s words.

Vehicles
- As for vehicles, there will be pimped-out lowriders, and 90’s versions of some GTA3/VC cars will return.
- There will be bicycles.

Story
- Characters from the past will return.

Gameplay
- In the Las Vegas city, you will be able to buy and build a casino - and then run it.
- You can then gamble your money in the casino.
- Your character can dual wield pistols and potentially other weapons.
- You need to eat to retain your stamina. If you eat too much fast food, you become fat and pedestrians mock you for being fat. You also run slower. To remedy this, you can go to a gym to exercise.
- You can now rob homes. The robberies will require skill and planning, however.
- You can recruit gang members and use them to do four person drive-by’s.
-Swimming ability

Weapons
- The choice of weapons will match the time in which the era of the early 90's.


Artificial Intelligence
- Enemy/pedestrian AI will be greatly revamped and they will think more logically. You can't beat someone to death in broad daylight and not have people notice and react.
- Your enemies will be smarter, which will make robbing houses take a lot of skill.


Music
- There will be a rap station, but there will be a variety of other stations as always. 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake and theHappy mondays will all have a track(s)on one of the many radio stations.

Whew, hope you didn't get bored reading that little lot :)

You can't really compare Zelda to FF, they're both different types of games - FF is an RPG, Zelda is more of an action/adventure. I'll say that the earlier games were both equally as good. :p

With regards to Zelda and FF, Zelda : Links Awakening was one of the first games I played, back on the good ol' original Game Boy. It really got me into the whole action/adventure/RPG genre, but I do prefer FF now.

Does anyone prefer the pre-VII Final Fantasy games then? I find them to be quite engaging, even if the "epicness" of later games is lost in the graphics etc.. I think VII is my favourite however, though VIII was the first one I completed. Did it annoy anyone else how you could only name two characters in VIII? They fixed it for IX, but then X only allowed you the main character...

Page
18-05-2004, 07:20 pm
To be honest I don't think i've actually finished any of the games before FFVII. I keep meaning to pick up the PSOne versions, although I might wait for SquEnix to release the GBA versions of FFI and FFII.

As for renaming characters; well, the newer versions have speech, and it would be kinda' impossible to include every name imaginable, or have the characters refer to each other as 'Hey you!' all the time. I did prefer it when you could rename the characters though - it's always nice to have the choice.

Polyphon
18-05-2004, 08:33 pm
Yeah, I guess that's one of the major disadvantages of RPGs with voiced dialogue. The only way around it is to not have anyone saying a character's name i.e. Tidus in FFX and Kite in .hack.

I like the idea of levelling up stats by how much attacking/magic/hits/hp etc you take. However i find it ridiculous how you have to keep cancelling your commands and re-entering them to be able to increase your stats later on, it really defies the point of a game.

I have I,II,IV,V,VI. the amazing VII, VIII IX X and X-2 for the various ps.
I also have tactics advance.

My fav is obviously 7 cuz of its stoyryline, cool lead character and quite possibly the most nasty bad guy i have seen in a while. It was also my first rpg. I love chocobos especially the red one in 9.
Moogles are cute but annoying kupo and i want to see more moombas.

Originally posted by JERICHO

It doesn't really, only in the fact that you have to get 100% to see the mega special ending (which is pap if you haven't). Basically, there are 3 endings - one if you play the game through normally, say your first try where you miss things. Thats known as the Common ending. Then theres the Good, which you have to press X at the end when your in that garden place to get, and the Perfect ending for doing/seeing everything in regards to the storyline for 100% completion.
Theres other stuff to do to get the Good+ endings, like speaking Maechen everytime, whistling 3 times when Yuna falls into the Farplane, blah blah.
I think theres probably more things you have to do, but I can't remember then of the top of my head :)

Hope that Helps!!! :D

PS. There are more than 3 endings. Theres actually quite a lot, cos your actions during the game, eg. who you give the sphere to, affects some scenes in the game, and at the end.

I think Final Fantasy is a really cool collection of games. It's cool how they managed to make every game with a new story. Except for Final Fantasy X-2 that is, the first true sequal.
I started playing FF 8, then I played FF X, then I went back to FF 7.. But then I figured that I should play FF 9 too. And the latest FF game I've played was FF X-2. And they did a good job making a true sequal, well that's my opinion anyways...

I got my GC for a decent price a year ago: £79 for the console, a memory card and a game. It's a good little machine, even though I don't play on it as much as I do my other consoles.

I bought a second hand one not long ago (basically to play FF:CC, which is pretty PAP) for £35. Gooooooooood Price! :)

I'm a full-blown final fantasy fan. All final fantasies from I to X-2
Plus CC and Tactics and Tactics advance. I love them! Or maybe im a Sqaure-Enix fan? Anyway. CC is fun when you're playing one-player, though it does get tiring. Especially after the continuos stroll through all the dungeons. (And when i say "Continuos stroll"
i mean you go through the same dungeon a few times, no matter how far in the game you are. Though its only if youwant too. The freedom in CC is the best in RPGs yet (Thats what i think anyways.)

DIE2K

How do you think CC compares to .hack?
Because it can get the same way as you described could happen in CC. The continous stroll through the same dungeon...
In .hack it's not the same dungeon, but it's the same principal...

Hogso
01-06-2004, 11:49 am
FF:CC doesnt seem quite as fun as .hack is to play. When I first got CC and completed the first year in about 2 hours, I thought : EH?
.hack is easily the better game tho, but CC is a different take on the FF series and RPGs in general, so maybe I just haven't played it enough...?

i thought CC was rubbish, it takes to long to drag that chalice around when playing with friends and its just boring playing alone...

what u wanna play is FF11 online, thats the game of the future, but when is it coming out in the UK???

WHAT? It took you 2 hours to get through the first year???!!!
Damn...

Anyways,FFxI IS definitely not the future. Actually, i'm excited about FFXI, but im more anticipated as to FFXII. I JUST CANT WAIT!!! Tho my dad is gonna but the network adapter and FFXI too..i hope...

Hogso
02-06-2004, 12:14 am
Yeah, thats what I thought - 2 hours?!!??
Anyways, FFXI looks damn good, and I haven't gone online with my PS2 yet, so I think I will when it eventually reaches the UK...
We'll have to meet up online and kick everythigs ass!! Whos with me!! :D

DIE2K
02-06-2004, 08:21 am
I'm with you..
I just gotta get a network adapter and FFxI (when it's released/if it's released)
I heard a friend say that it wasn't going to be released in Europe (or Norway, I can't remember)

Hogso
02-06-2004, 12:51 pm
It IS confirmed to come out in Europe, but exactly when is a mystery. The most realistic date I've seen is for a PC/PS2 release at christmas, 2004 (phew!)

And on the subject, has anyone else seen amazon.co.uk's listing? They have the 13th August for an FF 11 PC release date, and list Final Fantasy XII as : Final Fantasy 12:Advent Children, also released on the 13th!!?!
Whats up with that!? :D

Page
02-06-2004, 01:13 pm
It's just Amazon messing up.... again. :D

I'll be getting the PC version of FFXI since I can't see myself taking a console online at any point in the future. And it'll be the first MMORPG that i'll have ever played.

Twilight Ryo
02-06-2004, 11:12 pm
LOl. You cant blame them for messing up...can you?
Anyway, of what i've seen, i think the PC version is in stores here in denmark... Though i am not sure...Last time i checked was 2 months ago and 2 months ago it was only empty preview boxes...

Page
03-06-2004, 07:58 pm
I've seen preview boxes for Halo 2, and that isn't out for a while....
I've been thinking about importing the US version of FFXI. Apparantly there are no real problems with using it over here.

Ayato
03-06-2004, 10:09 pm
Personally i thought ffx and ffx-2 were pretty shite, i prefer the classics, like ff7,8 and 9! ff8 is probally the best i think:D .

So when is ff7 advent children comin to england?

over here! me and my m8 have it....its awesome!!! so i advise u to import!

Twilight Ryo
03-06-2004, 11:01 pm
My goal is to import. It has been from the start.
Its just some currency problems i currently have.
But i'm gonna get it...

Seraph
04-06-2004, 04:00 pm
dont you think its better 2 get FFXI on PC...
if you get it for PS2 you gotta buy a modem, separate phone line, broadband (if required) and keyboard to effectivly talk to people (how long would it take to talk to someone with a PS2 controller???):p ...

so thats £30 for the modem £50 for the game carry the 5, to the left , no to the right plus £10 for the keyboard divide by 4...:confused:

oh yeah like i was saying isnt it way cheaper just to get it for the PC, ur pritty much set after buying the game...

...If your PC is good enough to run it. I don't know about everyone else's comps, but mine is most certianly not capable of running a game with that high requirements - but thats probably just because I'm not a PC gamer. Never have been, and never will be :D

Well, I think that FF X-2 is a good continue to FF X, and since it's their first real sequal you can't blame them for it to be a little shite as you so nicely put it..

It wasnt bad for a sequel..BUT what i did like was that fact of the dress-spheres, that was a very good idea and im also glad they brought levels back, i hated the sphere-grid i mean its a new idea for them but not a good one, but thats just my opinion you may think different!

I agree about the Dress-Spheres. Very original idea.
But Sqaure could've made some new places...I got tired of the games since i was running through places i had already been through in FF X, so i'd say they werent only slacking off in FF X but in this one too.
Just not as much!
Very good story though! :D

Ayato
07-06-2004, 11:30 pm
I wasnt impressed with either of them really!
FFX should have had levels!!! Then it may have been better!

i agree with Ayato, it kinda died at 9, lol pity really now its kinda just been turned into a giant franchise and is used to cash in the FF movie showed that.

Ayato
07-06-2004, 11:57 pm
Yeh, it is i also think they may be running out of ideas!
....Well after FFXII that is, that doesnt look bad though and they did a very good job with FFXI, that game is sooooo good!!
Have to give them credit for that one!

Akion
08-06-2004, 12:15 am
lol not really, also tits the world, .hack online is just what people like to call it, though if it came out it should be called the world.

and if the world did come out then it's be muych more fun and flexable, also more easy to play

Ayato
08-06-2004, 12:55 am
It would be so cool, with the virtual headset and everything!!
Would take ages to make though!!

Right, obviously a typo, but did you mean 'its the world', or 'tits to the world'? lol! :D

Anywho, VR headset technology isn't too far off - at a uni visit I went to earlier this year at Hull, they had developed a virtual temple, and whilst wearing a VR headset, you could 'walk' around the building. It was reet good, but seriously expensive, so till the price of the hardware comes down, we can only hope...
