Concerning Final Fantasy... I dunno. If you didn't play the original, I guess these ports could be good, seeing as you really don't have to buy it if you've already played it, but all these remakes, recently... I'm actually pretty reactionary concerning them, I get a sinking feeling when I see one's been announced. I guess this is a biased opinion from people who played the games when they were younger, but they'll never have the heart of the actual games.

To be honest, a proper next-gen remake would be cool to see, like the FFVII tech demo for PS3, but an actual game. This would be even more interesting for one of the SNES/NES ones... (Except maybe 1. We've seen enough of 1. Jesus.) I know it'd take more time and money, etc., but if you're just thinking about the final product... if they're completely remaking a game, it's a bit annoying to see them just settle for the handhelds... and usually the DS...

But yeah, things like Valkyire Profile and Final Fantasy Tactics (I wouldn't really count this with the other FFs in this context) on PSP really were much appreciated, given that they either didn't come to all regions, or were expensive as fuck. It would be nice to see other PSX games get a similar treatment... even just on the PSN would be nice.

edit: wait, what do I mean 'even just on the PSN'? It would be awesome if it came to the PSN. If we're talking straight ports, I mean.

they gave up on making good games

I wasn't going to buy it but it's got Kefka so I have to. 

i admit even good games bore the shit out of me a lot of the time, but i can still PLAY them.  i've just outgrown feeling the need to play any game that isn't really worth it.  idk it feels like gamers just kind of swallow whatever swill the industry throws at them just to have SOMETHING to play, and i don't think a lot of gwers are like that anymore.  or at least, not as many.  i play games sometimes but only the ones that don't blow!!

if it sucks go do something else instead of acknowledging it so that maybe it will improve!!!


thats bad advice

but....my childhood!!!

ten to one that parasite eve is a horrifying shadow of what the original(s) was/were

Damn that sucks. I enjoyed Parasite Eve quite a bit, maybe one of the only rpgs I did enjoy.
I'm bummed about that new one, I'm pretty disgusted with the whole movement to make phones do things besides call people. It seems a lot more sensical to put phones inside handheld games instead of vice versa.

Yeah, this would be cool.  It's just damn laziness that they would port a game without updating the graphics for the latest generation console.  I mean, it's not like they would have to rewrite the gameplay, story, etc.  Something like this might actually be lucrative, god forbid.
