PSP version >>>> Original version?

I do enjoy the 16:9 presentation

There is no such thing. All changes/additions made to the aspect ratio for the PSP were quick fakes. Only with the lowest standards could you call what War of the Lions does a "16:9 presentation."

I recently had the pleasure of testing the PSP version of FFT. I must say I really like the new cut scenes and the translation seems very good, too. But the port really is badly done. I can live with the stretched picture (at least, it looks stretched), but the slowdowns are getting annoying :/

But the game wasn't simply a 4:3 screen stretched to 16:9. I've played the PSX version on the PSP, and it stretches the screen much more than the PSP version. And the cutscenes are in widescreen.

The lag bothers the hell out of me.

What the hell is up with everyone? The game is fully supported by the 16:9 ratio. I never thought the screen looked stretched.

Also you lot are making a bigger deal out of the lag than necessary. After maybe 2 hours with the game its hardly noticeable and doesnt ruin the game at all.

You are right, after a few hours the lag doesn't seem as painful, but the fact remains that it slows down the game considerably. When I feel compelled to watch TV at the same time I'm playing a game, I would call that a flawed mechanic.

I find it absurd they could add all these movies and jobs and new things, but they're too lazy to fix a lag issue, even between the time it was released in Japan and North America. If the lag doesn't bother you, that's cool. But the fact is the lag annoys me every time I play, and I still notice it.

I feel the same way about the technical limitations of the port. I wonder if the developers chose to overlook it because it adds more playing time to the game?

ok so ive never played the game on the psx so i cant compare but are we talking about like my counter casting regan and it takes a few seconds cuz i have noticed that

(btw im doing this post from my psp)

(Just a sidenote: The PSP versions of I & II aren't even worth "borrowing." Trust me.)

I wholeheartedly disagree.
If you own the PSX and GBA versions, you will probably find nothing really new in those games. But if you don't, and even more if you haven't played the games yet, the PSP version is THE version to go with. (No, Kishi! I really think it!)

This is a rare occurrence I fully agree with Dreddz.

The only real issue with Regenerate is the counter goes off EVERY TIME you are hit, which is an annoying problem with both versions.

Yes, but the lag time on Regenerate is more noticeable in the Playstation Portable version than the Playstation version. The lag in the port adds a notable length of time to gameplay due to all of the missed seconds, minutes, and hours spent because of the slower graphics in battle.

My only comment is that Regenerate is a lousy Reaction ability anyway so I hardly see a problem with it suffering from lag...

[NeoCracker]

It's useful early on, until you get a better react. I'll probably end up leveling my White Mage as either MOnk or Dragoon for HP Counter or Dragon Spirit.

Different playstyles I guess, I never found it all that useful as the Regen affect was always slow in this game. Auto-Potion just seemed like a better option to me since the game throws money at you.
