You do understand that ports are rarely if ever a huge amount of resources away from the development of new games? If the collection is successful, yeah, we'll possibly get more such collections, but it's not like Bravely Third or TWEWY2 will not get made in favor of more collections. Completely different studios would make them.

Takashi Tokita (FFIV, more FFIV, even more FFIV, FF Dimensions) teasing a Switch game

A successor to the superior Chrono Cross would do strange things to my reproductive organ
It has updated graphics without looking absolutely hideous like the DS remake. It's also far easier unfortunately

Never played that version, but FFIV is one of my favorite games ever. What is unique about the PSP version?
Also, what are people's opions on Dimensions?

PSP version comes with the Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV Interlude (a short gameplay chapter that's set between IV and TAS, and Final Fantasy IV The After Years (a sequel to IV).
Game also uses highly detailed 2D sprites and personally looks amazing. Switch between classic and rearranged versions of the songs. FFIV also has the Game Boy Advance secret dungeons and secret boss.

Oh man, disagree completely. I think they look amazing. So fucking much better than anything released on IOS

I liked the psp version of ff4.
Didn't he remaster V and VI for mobile?

FF7:Remake was announced like 2 minutes before Shenmue 3 was - they were back to back at Sony E3 2015.
If Gaf can survive Last Guardian PS4 re-reveal, Horizon Zero Dawn reveal, FF7:Remake Reveal, and Shenmue 3 reveal all in the space of 30 minutes, with other E3 traffic already circulating, there's no lone announcement that can bring it down. Not even Half Life 3.

I never played the PSP version, but I do remember one thing I found weird from looking at screens--since the old sprites were completely replaced with ones double the size, it ended up being the version of the game with the least of the game world displayed. Well, less than the GBA version anyway; maybe the Wonderswan Color version was similar.
I mean, it's better than the abominations that are the mobile versions of V and VI. We can agree on that.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I did, and I'm trying it but after two hours ... it's so slow.
The whole experience has this weird melancholic feeling that is a bit uninspired.
It's certainly no carnival flaired mysterious adventure ride the first two hours of CT is

Really glad to see Square get behind the Switch. Would prefer to play my RPG's on the Switch. Hopefully we start getting info at e3 on some of these games, whether they are ports of existing games or unannounced games.
Obviously a Chrono Trigger sequel would be absolutely amazing, but I'm not holding my breath.

YES
I'd love to see the PSP version make it over! SE should have stuck with that graphical style/engine for all of their sprite-based FF projects thereafter.

Famassu needs an eye exam.
I'd buy SE RPGs in that PSP FFIV graphical style for as long as they made them.

DS version 4 lyfe tho. How is the difficulty in the PSP ver.? Comparable to DS, cause that was just about perfect difficulty for me.

It's one of the few games that I turned off in frustration and deleted the save data afterwards. I only scorch the earth on games that I truly hate.
Do I have news for you!

A new Chrono would be amazing. Trigger's up there with the RPG greats for me, so anything Chrono related would be appreciated.
Don't buy that garbage
Its final fantasy 2 wearing a chrono trigger skin as a visage
Also Chrono Break would probably be really bad if you've ever played in order of worseness:
After Years, Chrono Trigger DS's """bonus content""", or After Years absurdly bad bridge chapter they added in the PSP complete version
No the PSP complete version is a hilarious joke, the DS version matches / enhances upon the original game's / good versions of after years difficulty

Agreed. How many fucking times are they gonna release this mediocre thing? Jeez.

It's a good thing I already have Radiant Historia lol. I love that game.
Well, it's enjoyable, nothing compared to CT of course, but I think it does a fine job at being a callback to older JRPGs.

Final Fantasy IV is the kind of game you love if you first played it when you were like 10.

FF4 get way more love than it deserves
I hate to say that but they kind of keep messing up every attempt to update it
Its tedious and mechanically deficient as an RPG
Its held up mostly for its iconic story, characters and themes

Probably. I love the shit out of my first FF (FFVI) but I played FFIV on the GBA and I can sum up my experience as..."its alright"
So many people have. It's a proper classic Final Fantasy game as far as I'm concerned.
I do wish I didn't have to play with the ugly mobile art since it had pixel art originally, but it's still very much worth playing. I love the soundtrack too.
