Final Fantasy I & II Remakes Confirmed For GBA

Posted by simoniker on from the nintendo-and-squeenix-smooching dept.

Thanks to 1UP for its story revealing Square Enix has announced a Game Boy Advance compilation of Final Fantasy I & II, due to debut in Japan this July. The article mentions: "That's the same pair of 8-bit RPGs that came to North America for the PlayStation as Final Fantasy Origins. However, the GBA remakes will feature a few new extras on top of the content from the original games", including new dungeons and substories - the remake also "seems to use the magic point system from later games in the series", and a U.S. release is likely but unconfirmed.

    I've been hoping for this ever since I saw a Gameboy-game shaped box for Final Fantasy Origins. Then I noticed that it said Playstation on it and not Gameboy. It was just a ploy to lead me astray.

    Now, finally, my hopes will be realized. I can't wait.

    Apparently, the Square guys really do read and take to heart Slashdot comments...
