I just thought everyone knew. I found out by surprise, but I didn't think too much about it until I checked with Square Enix myself. I was at a little shindig last night, and Secret of Mana came up in casual conversation. Of course, I mentioned that the classic SNES RPG is coming to iPhone, and everyone threw their hands up and yelled "WHAT!?" or something similar.
So yeah, Squaresoft classic Secret of Mana will be an iPhone game, coming out very soon. I was previewing another game at Square Enix's booth, and I heard Secret of Mana music coming out of nowhere somewhere around me. My head whipped around and I saw a screen playing a trailer for the game. Checking with Square Enix, they confirmed that the game would be coming out this year. Excite.
In that same conversation I learned that Final Fantasy Tactics is also coming to the iPhone. Square Enix says that this is based on the PSP version, which I know is going to have mixed reactions. Still, it'll be great to have both of these games on my phone so I can never finish them again.

Wow... This is amazing.
The only thing wrong I can thing of in the original PS1 release is some translation issues, which are minor at best.
I'd be surprised if FFT didn't have the slowdown at all.
IMO, the original translation is nearly incomprehensible at times, and there are a few pretty huge bugs in there as well (such as some stats being WAAAAAAAY more powerful than they were intended to be). I believe the PSP version fixes a number of those issues.
But yeah, just seriously cannot stand the original translation. The story is confusing enough as it is, without the translation's added obfuscation :)
