Watch the above video.
No, really. Go ahead, I can wait.
Ok, done? Impressed? Neither was I. I watched the entire thing and all I was thinking the whole time was "Wow, the DS runs circles around this thing." Sure, we all know the PSP has all kinds of horsepower and that when properly utilized it makes the DS look like a kid's toy, but comparing this to the stunning work Squenix did on the remake of Final Fantasy 3 is like comparing Uri Geller to Jesus. Yes, they both have magical powers, but one can barely bend spoons, and the other turns water into orgasms on a daily basis.
I realize I'm going to get a ton of comments from people telling me I just "don't get it" or that "2D is the new 3D", but the reality is that this compilation is just a cash-in for the publishers. That wouldn't be so unfortunate if ninety percent of the PSP's library wasn't already cash-ins, but, as it stands, this title will only end up appealing to those who love the series enough to own one of the other eighty iterations of these two games, and it certainly doesn't provide a compelling argument for adoption of the PSP.

This is shit, well in an anagram sense
(The above paragraph can be reused for the PSP port of FFII coming out after FFI simply by adding an extra "I" in the first sentence.)
That being said, I refuse to buy a copy of FFI until SquareEnix decides it's made the final version of the game and puts it up on Virtual Console. And they had better not dare to put up the ancient NES version on the Virtual Console, unless it comes with the updated version for free.
but I hope they put it out on DS because they dont deserve my money for a re-re-re-remake and then I wont feel bad about downloading it :D
You mean dawn of souls? You can play that one on ds...
Unlike other beloved franchises. (cough sonic cough)
Jaggies killed it for me.
A word to Square: Stop whoring out your Final Fantasy series. It's no longer final, nor is it a fantasy, anymore; It's more of a rehashed sci-fi action narrative of angst. Now look at your Enix side -- they haven't whored out Dragon Quest, yet. It's not even on its ninth game, yet. And there's only a few spinoffs. You're not going to see Dragon Quest versus IX, Dragon Quest Haeresis IX, Dragon Quest Agito IX, or even Dragon Quest this-naming-scheme-doesn't-make-sense IX. You're going to see ONE Dragon Quest IX. And it's going to be a FANTASY, and you're not going to have to listen to the main character's angst as he points out all of his subtle thoughts to the stupid people playing the game.
Now go make a good game for the first time in a decade.
