Final Fantasy I and II is coming to the PSP to celebrate the series' 20th Anniversary

[Martyr]

Actually when I told my parents that the Wii was capable of playing NES and SNES games, they got excited, thinking the old cartridges plugged into it. I found it funny because most people out there nowadays don't have the carts. I said this, and they just thought they should make them again. Sigh... it's a business like everything else. If they truly believed something will make them money, they'll do it, if not, they don't.

THE JACKAL

Wait, what?

Are you saying that I can get 8-bit Final Fantasy on Wii?

Because my 3 NESs have all pretty much busted completely, for whatever reason. Yours must be a super version.

Or are you saying that I can get Origins on PS?

[Aemilius Blight]

You can download NES games for the Wii.

Whether Square will make FF games available is debatable though, since they can make far more money off them by porting them forever.

I have no problem with companies making money of quality products. I have a problem with companies that load off inferior products to make a few quick bucks, when they could have easily out their time into more worthwhile projects.

Strangely enough, a massive company like Square-Enix has enough people to work on multiple projects at the same time. It is an amazing thing, actually. I don't really know how it works, but it does!

no, you took that completely out of context.... but I wouldn't be surprised if eventually FFI was released for the virtual console

And every person that's working on some half-assed port could still be working on something worth-while instead?

not worthwhile to you, but maybe it is to someone who owns a PSP

You mean, owns a PSP and somehow missed the last 4 releases of these games, 3 of which look almost identical if those screenshots are anything to go off.

Well, a lot of people with PSP don't have a DS/GBA, therefore, they get it portable now. I mean, I had the NES version of FFI, and no other, and got DoS just to have one portable.

no one buy this, total bull crap. this is the psp ffs...what a joke

[Aemilius Blight]

My point is that Square is releasing a PSP version of the game that, from this brief promotional material, seems practically identically to its previous incarnations. If I was a PSP owner, I would be pretty pissed about this release since:

1. The DS just got a full 3D remake of FFIII and has no less than three other original FF titles coming soon and

2. The PSP now has the capability to emulate PSX games. Paying the cost to download Origins would cost significantly less than that of a 'new' game (especially since FFI and II are being released seperately).

3. I can emulate it anyway by using the new homebrew PSX emulator (which, jftr, is about the greatest PSP news ever) and not have to pay a cent.

This is course is based on what little we know about this game so far. If it turns out Square has actually put a decent amount of effort into this version that can make up for not doing anything graphically despite the PSP being able to render graphics that almost rival the PS2, then I'll gladly retract any and all negative statements I've made thus far.

And no, a 1000000 floor optional dungeon is not what I have in mind.

[lufia]

we've seen the screenshots from the op. its just another very old port. ultimate, cheap lazy captilizing from square-enix.

[Laddy]

I'd play it has three things:

-New bosses, clases, and actual gender chose.
-Better graphics.
-Better dialogue, improved to an epic scale.

[Flying Mullet]

I could justify the PSOne release because a lot of people hadn't played FFII before, and it was overhauled with new graphics, music and such.

I could justify the GBA release because now the game was portable. It also had the new dungeons, but that wasn't as important to me.

That being said, I can't justify this new release to myself as it doesn't add anything that wasn't already there.

[The black mage]

There are only 2 ways i would buy/ play these versions is if:
1There was a hard mode i.e. Eniamys had more HP and things cost more.
2 updated grafics and when you completed the game got the orriginal unlocked.

Squre-enix should take time on this and bring these to us in a new way insted of a DOS port/uptate
P.S i can get GBA/SNES/NES emulaters for the psp anyway so they should take there time :fencing: :shoot:

In the situation that I am in... this is the best news I have heard all hour!!!
