Square Enix Releases Final Fantasy Origins

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the new-face-on-an-old-fave dept.

wyatt writes "The newly merged Square Enix has released updated versions of the seminal RPG classic Final Fantasy (now nearly 14 years old) and Final Fantasy II (never before released in North America) for the PlayStation. New features include "cinematic movies, opening theme songs, event scenes including updates of the original event sequences, enhanced graphics, improved sound quality and new game play modes"." If you're saying "But I played Final Fantasy II on my SNES!" that's because it was actually Final Fantasy IV given the import treatment.

    Now if they would only release these gems for the GBA! Heck, release FF1-6 for the GBA. Considering I'm from America, I love FF2-3, which um map to FF4 and FF6? Don't quote me on that though. Those games were incredible!

    Why isn't the games section linked from the home page any more? Is this section still in "testing?"

      I've got to say that it looks FAR better than it did when I first stumbled upon it. I also like the icon for RPG games. Personally I think the "spoony bard" line was better after translation.
