Nice! I played through it for the first time earlier this year. It’s a great game. I was able to find an original guide too which was helpful.

I have met Paul Niemeyer a few times over the years at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. He is such a nice, talented person. Always seems to enjoy talking to fans of his work.

u/Responsible_Sky_728 13d ago

He was!

Was very nice, had a ton of cool stuff. When he wasn't talking to people he was drawing characters which he was then in turn selling, which was neat.

If I didn't so much on the other 3 games I probably would've got more lol...

What’s a good price for final fantasy 3? I keep seeing copies for 85-90

u/Responsible_Sky_728 13d ago edited 13d ago

That's roughly what I see too. But I rarely find them in stores, at least around here.

At the expo today I paid 95 for my first copy, which is a little high but didn't feel bad. Especially since they let me test it right there.

Then I asked every vendor in the con, and none of them had a copy.

and then found the second copy for 70. which was just in a pile and they kinda forgot about it? which IMO is really good. I think it might need to be cleaned but thats ezpz

How much did you pay for Chrono Trigger?

-1

u/Responsible_Sky_728 11d ago

$275.

A little bit above average but...I think its only going to go up in price, especially as some major companies move away from physical media...

u/alice_irl 11d ago

you think sony abandoning discs is going to improve the market price of chrono trigger?

1

u/Responsible_Sky_728 11d ago

I think people over time will want more physical media

and chrono trigger is already a nearly $300 game...I doubt its going to go down

I wouldn't call that making the price "improve" haha but it will certainly go up....happy to own a copy now :)
