Chhhhhrist that's alot of fantasies. Wonder how long it would take you to finish all of them back to back?
...the fuck?
Haven't they officially phased out the ps2 version of FFXI now? I could have sworn I read that the new xpac wasn't even being released on it.
Well whatever. Aside from that this sounds great, but I suspect a price point that will immediately make me ignore it.

That's really a great collection, I'm not the biggest fan of the franchise, and since my favourite FF game: Final Fantasy Tactics isn't on the list, I will probably pass this out even if it's localizated, but I can see a lot of Final Fantasy Fans getting really exited about it!
This should have been on 3-4 PS3 discs and had X-2 instead of XI. I've never played a Final Fantasy and would have been all over this shit.
FFXI on PS2? Weird. You can't buy that hardware anymore.. going on like 6 or 7 years now. The only way it was ever possible to get was with FFXI. So if you can use it, it's because you already have it. Maybe it's different in Japan.
I suppose it's a valid account code so you can get the PC software somewhere, even through a torrent if necessary. It would have made much more sense just to include the PC software.

So, while other companies are doing "HD Remixes" of games, packaging them together, and releasing them on current gen systems with slightly better video/sound and a goodie or 2 thrown in, and selling at half the normal price point of a new game, Square Enix is slapping pretty labels on 13 games, not making the majority of them work for any current system, no mention of any kind of update whatsoever to the games, throwing in some goodies, calling it a day, and probably slapping a huge price tag on it (translated, 35k yen is $445)? Way to bring out all the stops for this one, guys.
As cool as that collection is, the only game I'd be able to play is XIII.
Yeah, I'm going to have to decline. If they're willing to release a version of the collection on PS3 disks, we can talk.

I think some people forget that the PS3 is capable of playing PS1 discs and there's still a fair share who have the PS2 BC models. That said, I doubt this is coming to the states EVER.
Oh Square-Enix, you WOULD do something like this!
It'd be neater if they did a release like the PS3 super baller edition of RE6; Download codes for the older games, and discs for the newer stuff.

I would actually like to know the answer to that. Does anyone know.
All PSOne games discs can be played on the PS3 so even if you don't have a PS2 you can still play most of the games. Not the most convient collection but I think it's more of an Collector's item than something people would actually buy to play the games. It's still pretty cool, though. If I could afford one, it would go right next to my Lucky Star special edition boxes! :-)

Makes you wonder why they didn't take the time to transfer all the games from their native consoles to ps3 and/or 360.
This makes the collection very unappealing. Besides my interest kind of dies at FFX, after that the franchise turns to shit.

Are you being sarcastic?
Is canse you're not: Yes, all PS3s, fat or Slim can play original copies of PS1 games.

Wouldn't it have been better if they instead used the PSP remakes of some of the original final fantasies? Or if they just put them all on one or two blu ray discs?
as a game collectore I have to buy this now ... i hope it isn't coming to the states i really need my money !
@mike
Nope, holy shit. I never knew that. thats awesome. playing some ps1 games on the big tv tonight.

i so want this i just wish i could afford it ......... also is it dual language for text or just the japanese version?
Or even worse NES cartridges. I would want to see the psp version of the first 4 and then mayb GBA versions of 5,6 and then the rest would be fine.
...Okay, I stand corrected. Still, there are (allegedly) better versions of the pre-VII games than the PS1 versions and I wouldn't be able to play the PS2 games, so I'd probably still be on the fence.
Whats the point of having PS1, PS2, and PSP in this? Seriously, even though I can play them all myself, not everyone owns a ps1/ps2 and some versions of the ps3 don't have backward capabilities. Also, why the one psp? Just throw them all on the freaking ps3 for goodness sake.
Square is releasing old games with a fancy new box for a premium price? I'm shocked. That being said, I'd probably pay $200 for an updated, HD release of Xenogears on the PS3.
It would've been awesome if they gave you the NES cartridges for FF I,II and III and Super NES cartridges for FF IV,V and VI.
but that would've involed more time, effort and money from SquareEnix.
aw well...

A digital ear ring? Cool!
So if anyone spends 5 minutes zooming into the side of your characters head they're gonna be so jealous and you'll be the talk of the town.

That is L-A-Z-Y. Why not just software emulate them for the PlayStation 3? I have all of the required consoles, I just don't get the lack of effort here... though I get the concept of cash grabs.
Pretty sure if you have BC ps3 you can download a patch to use your hdd like the ps2 hdd making ffxi on ps2 in the package slightly more manageable/playable. You could essentially play all the games but ff3 on one ps3.
They probably kept it all sony to avoid complicating sales with nintendo/ubisoft?
Also, total gameplay-wise: I figure 60 x 13 = 780 hrs
