Yes, I know that Final Fantasy Tactics was re-released as a PSP game. It's just that as lover of the early disc-based consoles, I like that old school flavor...and that horrible PSP screen stretching. That's right, the original strategy role-playing gateway drug for many is up on the PlayStation Network as a PS3 or PSOne Classic Download. They're asking $9.99 for this ticket back to old Ivalice. It's worth it, you know. Fantastic videogame, this is. Make sure you have 214mb free.
Also available today is the not as cool Tomb Raider III. Sorry, Eidos or whatever your name is. Boobs and guns aren't as cool as FFT's Job System and storybook narration. It looks like they realize this, because Tomb Raider III is only $5.99 (366mb).

Stupid Whale and your one vs one, Zodiac stacked fight in the middle act...
Oh well, I have the original on disc. So, there's no need for me to spend $10.
I already own a) a backwards compatible PS3 and b) an original copy of the game, but anyone who doesn't really should give this a try.
This is the final Fantay Job system at it's peak. Calculator FTW!
Buy it if you don't have it!
I mean Id buy the game of course. My fav of the FF series. I kind wish they used some characters from here in Dissidia..
Many people I know couldn't bare the slowdown and prefer the original, even if there are new characters and jobs.
Now, release valkyrie profile and I can die a happy, happy man.
Also FFT is incredible. Go buy it.
Sadly, I think the Tactics Advance series is all we're gonna get in terms of sequels for this game. :-/
Now THERE is a PS1 Square game actually WORTH buying again.
Wait, I don't have an original copy to begin with. EVEN BETTER!!!
I think that if sony would have given out digital eboot copies of psx games to customers whom already have the game, then I would have been OK with that.....it's against my beliefs to have to pay for the same game twice.
Right now all i use my PSP for is PSX/retro console emulation, and homebrew
Call me when Tactics Ogre goes up for sale.
Boo original FFT translation.
You know what would be awesome? a FFT PvP with your random team. This would be EPIC!
That's the one thing I loved about the PSP port.
Final Fantasy Tactic is already in a greatest hits edition. I bought it on sale for $10 at Best Buy a while ago along with Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles at the same price. My greatest PSP purchases ever!
