Final Fantasy III for PSP

Final Fantasy III releasing September 20 in Japan on PSP | VG247

No word on a stateside release (of course), but I'm surely hoping for one.

why not vita?

I would have been really happy had this happened like four years ago. Now it is just kind of 'meh' news.

[Tranquil]

Not the greatest of news, but I approve anyway.

I always support more FF III, but part of me is a bit sad that it's another port of the DS version. Don't get me wrong, I like the DS version, but part of me hoped for a 2D version with HD sprites like I, II and IV on the PSP. III is the only game from the first six that you can not play in english in 2D, unless you play a fan-translated NES-rom.

I'm gonna join the crowd and say "meh". Unlike the Complete Collection of FFIV, this one doesn't seem to give somebody who already owns the DS version a reason to buy it.

[Wolf Kanno]

Yeah, this is meh, simply because most people already own the DS version. It's a great game, and I wish it the best on the PSP though.

[Elpizo]

At least this time they can't knock off points for not using the top screen.

Agreed, it would be so awesome, and so much more worth the purchase if they went with the style of the other PSP Ports. I know many dislike it, but that style gave me incentive to play the PSP versions alternatively. I love the DS version and actually use the stylus a fair amount of the time, so there's really no reason for me to grab this. Maybe the sound quality will be better and the polygons will be smoothed out a bit. Let's see how the news develops.

Props to the PSP for still being a powerhouse in Japan.

Yeah, I always bitterly missed the what could have been with that cancelled 2D remake.

Looks too similar to the DS version imho.

[Elpizo]

Too similar? Better say they didn't change anything at all. Maybe a few touched-up textures. Come on, SE, you can do better.

I am pretty sure it was already said, that it was just a direct port of the DS remake.

It would admittedly be nice to carry around FFI, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX in my PSP. But Danielle has III for DS, so no, I'll just borrow her DS at some point when I finally get around to playing that game.

Actually come to think of it having a version where I can do the Mognet sidequest without needing to arse about trying to use a router on a really exact security setting in order to do so would be very nice indeed, as I'm very fond of FF3 on the whole.
