Final Fantasy I and II hitting PSN

Square Enix has announced it’s bringing Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II to PSN beginning this month.

It’ll release Final Fantasy next week, February 16, for €9.99. Final Fantasy II will launch on March 2 for the same price.

Square also confirmed that if you buy Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy and The 3rd Birthday on PSP, you’ll also get a coupon to buy both games at half-price.

Why do I have to ask if these will be the latest PSP versions of the game, or PS1 era ports?

[RedDead]

10 for FF1? Nice try S-e

Not really. Not for the third port of it. You know what would be better? If the game was free. Like the Command and Conquer series. Games from that era are free quite often nowadays. Of course this is S-e now so...

Those games are timeless masterpieces, 10 bucks is a steal.

[anasurimbor]

I don't think 10 bucks is a steal by any means, but I agree that the games are timeless masterpieces. I'm assuming the games are going to be the PS1 enhancements released as Final Fantasy Origins, which is readily available online for $10-15.

Or, you could get the superior Dawn of Souls for the GBA used for $10.

[Troll-without-Bridge]

10 bucks is a lousy meal at mcdonalds. If you think these 2 games are worth less than that, then you should just stop caring about games altogether.

If people pay 60 bucks for lesser games, i dont see whats the big deal here.

[NukaCola]

I would buy it for $10, but not a port of the NES version, I would like at least the PSOne or PSP versions with updated visuals.

[AntoineDcoolette]

Mihael, $10 Mcdonald's meal.... lol

What crazy world do you live in

[NukaCola]

@AntoineDcoolette

I live in Germany and the average price amongst a McMenu meal is about 6 Euro which is about $8 or so American, and some McD's do not have refills which cost more. It's not the same everywhere as it is in the States. I am an American soldier, just to say I have a good experience of comparing the life here and there. BTW I love Germany.

@Keehl

I think charging $10 for both games separately as a digital download is unfair. There's no need to charge that much for them separately, when they've been released to death already, and in superior formats (digital download being the bottom of the barrel in my eyes).

I have this opinion being that I own just about every iteration of these games there is, so I can say with certainty that I've spent well over $10 of them.

@Mihael
Dare I say that you can get a nice meal in mcdonalds for only 6 bucks.

[Troll-without-Bridge]

Ps1 ports, the older ones belong to nintendo.

[Trroy]

No Final Fantasy game "belongs to Nintendo"

They all belong to Square-Enix, and can be republished on any platform they choose, at any time.

It's entirely possible that these are the PSP or DS versions, but upscaled. But I agree that it's more likely that these are the PS1 versions of the games, since that would require the least investment on S-E's part.

[InfiniteJustice]

Would hope they'd be PSN versions, even with trophies. But that's asking too much. Probably old ports playable on PS3 and PSP

[Kee]

I doubt they'll be remade or updated. Probably just a straight up port.
Will it play on PS3 as well as the PSP?

[Surfaced]

What? Did anyone ask for this?

Where is Xenogears already??

[Troll-without-Bridge]

about freaking time, now give us parasite eve 1 and 2.

[SuperStrokey1123]

I think some clarity is needed here. LIke is this going to be the PSP ones or what?

[Troll-without-Bridge]

Its the same that we have on the japanese store, ps1 classics, 10 bucks, just like FFVII, VIII and IX.

[Styxoric]

If it's the PSP remakes, i'll definately get them.

[Lirky]

I wonder for how much also "square enix your licensing sucks" , because some japanese/english rpgs didnt get thru to american psn like Vagrant story which is both on asian, and euro psn stores... Another game im waiting badly for is Saga Frontier for psone to come to american/euro psn stores its already in japan psn stores.

Edit: Square enix now belongs in the list of Companies where you no longer support their business strategies capcom,ea,and square enix are the most terrible companies out there, however i would buy a product of their games if theres no tricky dlc business if there is then i skip over those gaming moments It's not the devs faults ever its always the lame companies lol.

[BubbleSniper]

milk. it does a bank good.

[ZombieAssassin]

I hope they are ports of the PSP versions, I already own FF origins so their wouldn't really be a point in buying them but the psp version had better sprites.

[Infernostew]

It seems like these are the PSP ones. I'm guessing just to download onto your psp so we won't be able to play these on ps3.... Bummer.

[Ingram]

When I saw the title, my primary intention here was to make a pricing joke.

When I actually saw that pricing, I realized reality always trumps fiction.

Really, S-E must be overrun by clueless greedy non gamers, 50 y.o. people ex- stock brokers or ex- music producers, same goes for some other publishers.

*ucking sad...

[rataranian]

SE. Sucking as usual.

[Mr_Luke]

What???? $9.99 each?!? Good, i keep mines on PSP..... damned money eaters...

EDIT: oh... those ARE for PSP? Good, i already have them then. I thought the PSOne ones, Final Fantasy Anthology or something

[Knightofelemia]

They bring Final Fantasy 1&2 thats alright but what about Chrono Trigger which did come out to PS1 also Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Vagrant Stories. A person would think with the release of 3rd BirthdaySquare would release Parasite EVE 1&2 to the PSN. Seems to me SE is really milking the name Final Fantasy. This is a no buy for me since I have FF1&2 for my PSP and PS1 come one Square you do have some great PS1 titles besides Final Fantasy.

[anasurimbor]

It's true, they really have some fantastic games for PS1 that deserve a re-release. Releasing Final Fantasy 1 & 2 (again) is much simplier for them though, and a guaranteed bit of profit.
