Chapter 6 was a clusterfuck. I dont know how else to put...

I dont remember having this much trouble with the original FF2.

A few other things.

Is there no way to equip a second charm or third charm? I wish you could equip more since there is so many available. Is it me or is hard to keep track of the current relative files you need to advance?

I played FF1 and 2 years ago on the PS2 OR PS3. Which one had the steep difficulty spike out of nowhere?

Edit:
Thanks to u/fatalframegal
The solution is to go to the Silent Hill F and Fatal Frame 2 Bundle and if you have both games you can add it for free!

So i went onto Steam after a friend told me that there is a Silent Hill F outfit for free, but i can't get it.
I have the base version of the game on steam and everything, but on the site itself there is no buy button for the DLC.
Does anybody know a solution to this?

I've tried to make two posts about this, but Reddit's filters keep deleting it. I'm thinking it might be because of the PlayStation blog link, so I'll share it in the comments instead for anyone curious.

This may be the best time to get these games because there's no telling what price surge is coming to Ebay when it comes to physical copies now that this is happening. I spent $200 for the xbox versions of 1 and 2, so I can only imagine that it's gonna get even pricier. The only options once the story closes is to either pirate or buy a copy.

Either way, it's not good:

• Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting August 2026.
• Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern countries – PlayStation Store on PS3 will close starting late 2026.
• In all other countries, PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita will close in July 2027.

I recently got all the endings in FF2R (would have been nice to have the platinum/100%, but the grind seemed a little much) and was thinking back to how I first got into playing the series.

It must have been around early/mid 2006 for me, I sat next to a guy in high school history class and I noticed he kept coming to school tired. Yawning, dozing off, etc.

After like the second day of this, I asked him what was up. He said he had been playing a super scary horror game series and literally couldn’t sleep at night thanks to the games. If he did fall asleep, he would have horrible nightmares and he seemed paranoid he was being haunted IRL.

Naturally I had to ask what games, and he told me he had been playing the Fatal Frame series. I had heard of them before, mostly through the hype around 2 being called the scariest game of all time. I hadn’t touched it due to being honestly a bit intimidated of horror games up to that point, but now I was a little older and after hearing this guy’s story, I had to play them.

So that same day I went to GameStop and found used Xbox Director’s Cut copies of 1 and 2 and bought them. I was able to play them on my Xbox 360 that had just come out, so that was kinda cool.

I updated my classmate about my playthroughs over the next couple weeks and gave my impressions about the various ghosts and characters. I didn’t find the games sleep-depriving scary, but they were creepy and I loved the lore.

After that, I played more of the games in the series over the years and loved them. Despite trading a bunch of my older games in, I’ve still held on to those Xbox copies of 1 and 2 for over 20 years (glad I did as they seem worth close to $100 US each now).

I since lost contact with that classmate, but I actually have him on my PSN friends list to this day. He has had like one sign-in over the past decade that I’ve seen, but I I thought it would have been cool if I saw him pop up playing FF2R.

Anyway sorry for the likely overly long-winded post, but I wanted to hear other players’ stories of getting into the series. How did you find out about it? First game you tried and impressions at the time?

I've played every edition except 2 remake, but I wanted to know the scale of the actual play area of each edition. Because sometimes I don't know if my character is slow or the map is genuinely massive.

Ps. it's definitely not The Himuro Mansion in FF1.

is there a way i can get more films on the last chapter?i have to fight the final boss i think and i only have the infinity one and its pissing me off

I've been picking up FF1 again now that I have my consoles back, I have been going through night 2 and at the point where I got the angry mask. Here's my problem though... I ran out of healing items a while ago... And still have some trouble with the camera controls and timing. (For some reason I was struggling a lot against broken neck and I kept mistiming my shots with the blind ghost).

My last 2 saves are really close to each other so I might be able to save the stone mirror I had but that's about it... And I heard that night 3 is brutal and still have to go through this night. Is it still possible to get through it on my current playthrough? Or do I have to start over?
