Final Fantasy 1, 2 coming to PSN News • News • PlayStation 3 • Eurogamer.net

News PSP PlayStation 3

Eight quid each.

UPDATE: Square Enix has told Eurogamer that these PSN releases are digital versions of the PSP versions that were released on UMD in 2008.

ORIGINAL STORY: Square Enix will launch ancient JRPGs Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II on the PlayStation Network from 16th February and 2nd March respectively.

Each will cost Ł7.99.

Upcoming PSP game Dissidia012[duodecim] Final Fantasy includes an in-pack voucher that nets you 50 per cent off of Final Fantasy when bought via PSN. The 3rd Birthday contains a 50 per cent off voucher for Final Fantasy II.

Final Fantasy I and II appear to be based on their respective PSP remakes, and feature extra dungeons and an art gallery mode.

Alec Meer reviewed Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition for Eurogamer back in 2007, awarding it 6/10.

Simon Parkin took on Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition II for Eurogamer, slapping it with a 4/10.

Is that Ł8 for the two or each? Headline and article body text seem to contradict each other.

Hopefully it's for both, Ł8 for a twenty-something year old game would be extortionate.

@Yodith
The rest of the article states that you can get vouchers to earn 50% off each. Indicating that they are individually priced.

Probably Ł8 each. Publishers seem to like to charge high prices for popular PSOne games

@captain_Carl - Ł8 might just about not be a huge rip off if they were PSOne games but these were NES games!

Never worth Ł8 a pop I'm afraid.

Are these the PS1 versions from Origins? Or the Anniversary editions for PSP?

Even as the PSP remakes, this is still horribly over-priced. Horribly, horribly over-priced. They were bad enough at Ł5.99 for iOS.

@berelain: but the PSP remake is bad. The Origins version would be a much better deal overall, also because the PS1 version has become a bit more expensive to find now. If I didn't have it already, I might think about it.

I've been hoping they'd rerelease the FF games on PSN/XBLA for a while now.

Ł8 for the first two is pretty steep though. Call me when they do IV, V and VI.

Surely if you wanted to play these it is the job of two seconds to get an emulator?

PIRACY IS KILLING THE OVERPRICED NES PORT INDUSTRY!

These will no doubt be the actual PSP releases; given the vouchers come with PSP games - ie. not some PSN/PS3 release that's 'based' on them.

Is final fantasy 2 the one where you have to sustain hits in order to raise your hp points? either way I'll pass for Ł8.

These are for the PSP only so won't be playable on the PS3 without the ole handheld connected.

Isn't it interesting that when, say, a classic film is released on Blu-Ray, no one bemoans the price being the same as a new film - because that's just the price of a Blu-Ray, isn't it? In fact it's often the case that the release is simply celebrated, because something great is finally available in a contemporary format.

Games are clearly different, but I'm not sure why that ought to be so.

@TravisTouchdown - I agree to an extent (I can't stand random rereleases for no good reason), but often when films are re-released - especially on blu-ray, after being on DVD - they tend to have some work put into them; cleaning up the image, adding in extras, reworking the sound to take advantage of modern formats.

These games, however, don't do any of that. Even the PSP remakes (which I've not actually played, tbf) were only mildly upgraded visually - from NES to SNES graphics, pretty much, and hardly anything else went into them. I agree with Malek though; the PS1 Origins version would actually have been better, as more work went into its release.

The exact same games are Ł5.49 on the appstore. Cheaper, but still pricey. Once upon a time these remakes were boxed releases at Ł20.

Why are they so intent on constantly rereleasing these 2 games in particular when there are far superior 2D Final Fantasies. I've played them both but they were more of a history lesson, as opposed to a great RPG. They're worth a playthrough, for sure, but surely everyone who has the urge to play a XX old RPG has done so already. Who's the target audience? 4, 5 and 6, that's what people want.

Square-Enix doesn't seem to have much love for FFVI for some weird reason. I'd love to see that re-re-re-released (and would also be interested in a make over, although that really isn't all that necessary).

@Antaios

someone from SE confirmed that a FFVI remake was in the works for DS but they stopped because of technical issues it had,

I would bet that means they're porting it to 3DS,

@Ninja_Tino

They're releasing a remake of FFIV with the after years thrown in soon.

What is with the pricing on the PSN store? Their prices are consistently ridiculous, I eventually passed on Dragon Age: Awakening as it was Ł30+ months after release, even though you could pick up the original game for a tenner!
