Why this version of FF3? Why now? Why not a sprite remake like FF1/FF2/FF4 Collection that was released on the PSP?

Final Fantasy III (DS, iOS) coming to PSP
- Thread starter Goli
- Start date
I didn't like the original version, which I played after the DS version. The DS version had Yoshida art so I was able to get through it once. Not sure if I'll play it again but I might pick it up eventually if it has new content, especially more Yoshida art. It's a bit weird to do a full PSP release after the iOS release though.

I hear they lost the original source code for III, hence why it was passed over during the PSX & GBA remakes.

how exactly is FFIV downgraded? it looks better than the DS version IMO
3D version from NDS/iOS
Oh, the DS version...
I think it's a crime that FFIII is the only 2D game in the main series that doesn't have a 2D remake.
This.
And they're still not done announcing "new" PSP games? They could have at least tried a little more and ported it to the Vita.
Edit: The sad thing is I will probably buy this anyway.
Eh? The 2D graphics look like some flash game, and the "CG" scenes in the game are atrocious to the eyes.

I honestly enjoyed the DS remake style, it was charming to me. But perhaps he's talking about the gameplay improvements the DS version had over the other versions.
that's X, though this isn't the brightest one either
hope they tweak the job system and get a western release, I mean translation is done right!?
Nah, I'm not saying that because I think that the PSP is dead, but because I have a hard time imagining how SE can justify to charge 3k Yen or more for a game that is available for 1,4k Yen elsewhere.
Of course, there are probably enough fans who gladly give them money. If it's a good idea to rip-off your fanbase is another topic altogether, though.

I would prefer a 2D sprite remake... I played through the DS version because it's the only English version available and it was THE Final Fantasy I'd never finished (I did get about twenty hours through the Japanese version with a huge sheaf of stenciled fan sub that I paid some ungodly amount for way back when, but at some point the pain was too much and the "translation" too confusing for me to continue)... Oh hell, I'll probably rebuy it for the PSP just to have it on my Go/Vita anyway....

So will I, I'm only missing III and IV.

listen to the mad man
That's a pretty shitty excuse. All the game systems are documented. Moreover, a fan did a complete reverse engineering and documentation of the assembly code for FF1--if a company couldn't do the same for their own product, that's an embarrassment. I don't even know NES 6502 and I'd be able to do it if you gave me a few months working 40 hours a week.

I really wish ff1 and 2 psp remakes were available on psn. I'd love to play them on my vita.
I wonder why they didn't put them up in the US. They are on PSN everywhere else.

FF3... so every Final Fantasy is now available on PS hardware?
A Chaos Rings Complete Collection like thing for Vita and/or 3DS doesn't seem like such a far fetched thing.

III truly is the only bad mainline Final Fantasy title. It is so mediocre it might as well be called awful. No heart, no soul, no anything. The most generic RPG I have ever played. I wasted 50$ on this game years ago. I am not doing the same mistake.
XIV is easily the worst. That's not even fair to make. Granted, in a few months that may no longer be the case...

XIV still isn't, if you want to count that.

Too little, too late. SE Japan really need to get off their asses and develop something worthwhile. And not just some tech demo for some potential Final Fantasy for next gen.

I played the shit out of the DS version during my mandatory military service time, so it has a soft spot in my heart, but
is what I want to know.

I'd sacrifice many chocobos to get a great remake of FF6.
I'm with you mate. IV needs to be brought back. There is still some life left in that game, I reckon...

Why is there no remake of VI?
Forget IV...it's already very good on the PSP and it already has a DS remake.

No offense guys, but link to said scan? Thanks
Can't link to scans here silly.

Fuck yeah. I wish they'd release those remakes of the first two on the US market as well.
The WSC versions are essentially what you got on GBA along with some extras. The only real difference besides that is the music.
What's downgraded about FFIV on PSP? If you're referring to the polygonal remake on DS as an upgrade, well, there's quite a few of us who beg to differ on that point.
It's an upgrade in gameplay!

God yes.
This. It wouldn't be quite as annoying if I could at least play the FF:Origins PSOne release on my Vita.

I meant I want the PSP versions of FF1 and 2.
PSP version is way too easy.

XIV is not a mainline Final Fantasy game. Don't get fooled by the title. XI should have been called Online and XIV, Online 2.

It'll cost 3300 yen. Square-Enix: masters of comedy.
