That sounds hardcore to the point that it'll get boring! Haha, you're a brave soul.Â
Do you have an iphone/ipad? You can play touched up versions (to varying degrees) of I-V just through the app store. I think I-IV are also on Android, though III and IV are the only two acceptable ports, as far as I'm concerned. Here's my evaluation on the whole series:

Do you have an iphone/ipad? You can play touched up versions (to varying degrees) of I-V just through the app store. I think I-IV are also on Android, though III and IV are the only two acceptable ports, as far as I'm concerned. Here's my evaluation on the whole series:
- The PSP ports are solid for I and II, as is the GBA version. I'm not going to endorse Origins for PSX because I hate the load times on all of the PSX ports.
- Definitely aim for the DS/iOS/Androd/PSP version of III.
- I'd recommend the PSP for IV (with the DS/iOS/Android version being a superb second choice), as it holds to the original vision the best.Â
- For V, definitely get the iOS one if you can. Otherwise, I'd recommend the GBA version for completeness. PSX Anthology version comes in a distant third, due to its inferior translation and lag from disc reading.
- VI is certainly most refined on GBA, but the small screen size and fudged-up soundtrack could be deal-breakers for you. If GBA is a no-go, I snagged a complete FFIII box (map, Mog poster, and booklet) for SNES for like 30 bucks last year. Go vintage, or go home
. Again, I won't endorse FF Anthology due to terrible lag from the disc.
- The Steam version of FFVII has a terrible "touch-up" on the soundtrack. Definitely look for a mod to fix that. Also check out the PSN version, which might be cheaper...
- VIII and IX are easily accessible on the PS Network and playable on PSP, Vita, and PS3. You can also find them for reasonable prices in their original PSX format, I believe.
- X and XII are fairly cheap to buy new (you're in luck) but require a PS2 or backwards compatible PS3. Or you can emulate. You could always wait for X's remaster for PS3/Vita this winter.
- Well, XIII was designed with the PS3 in mind (and maybe optimized for that system), but both PS3 and X360 versions are equally playable.
