FF Tactics joins FF7 International on Japanese PSOne Game Archives

Posted May 12, 2009 at 6:23PM EST by Karl B.

PSOne Game Archives, Square Enix has also put the original Final Fantasy Tactics online.

Yep, this is the PSOne game, not Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. It's being sold as a premium game for JPNÂ¥ 1,000 (US$ 10). If you happen to speak Japanese and have a Japanese PSN account then this sounds like a pretty good deal. Used copies of this game generally go for double that.

Tactics is accompanied by two other PSOne games: Arubarea no Otome and Zeus Carnage Heart Second. All three games are playable on a PS3 or a PSP.

Man, that Japanese PSOne Archive just keeps on growing. Anybody else bummed out / getting insanely jealous because of this? I'm more of the latter, personally. On a semi-related note, I wonder what Yasumi Matsuno's up to now. The man's like a god among hardcore tactical RPG fans.

Yeah I'm with you Karl...I'm insanely jealous too.



What the heck is wrong with SCEA? Can't they just man-up and get these games - the ones that are SURE to sell like mad - onto the Western PSN?

You'd think Sony would actually want to make some money off us loyal customers...

What? I dont recall posting this comment twice...



Anyways, I think SCEA is just making excuses when they blame "licensing issues" for not having More PSOne games on the PSN.

If it were really the case, how did Silent Hill pop-up on the Euro store? Arent there MORE licensing problems in Europe due to multiple regions and languages? Yet they have more games than we do [regarding PSOne titles atleast]



Perhaps it would be better if all of us learn japanese and get ourselves some Jap PSN IDs :P

I don't think it's just making excuses. Often, games that are made involving only two or three developers/publishers/etc. in Japan wind up tacking on several more when they come overseas, which means you end up having to get the OK from all of them before the game can go onto the PSN store.



But yeah, it's still bullsh*t :/

Ah quit yer whining :P Least the US has Symphony of the Night which us in Europe still don't have a couple years on. Easily what I'd consider the best PS1 game ever made and we're denied it here for some reason.

it's not that big of a deal because they already have a remake of FFT for psp. But they need to release MGS and FF7 and RE2

# id be surprised if they didxyal_zx 2009-05-13 04:22
i know scea says they plan to release a bunch more but id be more surprised if they werent just punishing us deliberately. wouldnt be the first time a corporation did something like that. why didnt we get the complete works or rockman dash in the first place anyway? why cant we have ps1 titles on our psp? cuz they arent umd? cuz if they add cool things to the psstore for psp it might get hacked or outsell umd? who knows, scea has been making retarded choices for over a decade now.

theres more than enough games out now for me to care anyway. i dont mind playing ps1 on my netbook and hacked firmwares. sony/ nintendo etc could easily sell supernes carts and ps1 games but they wont. why havent they tried translating some of those old titles for us to sell on psn? cuz one MIGHT hinder the sales of a new ps3 game blueray movies and the latest popsinger's new album.

# Three reasons to get thisbillylee8 2009-05-13 14:37
1) You get the full PS1 game without the gimped sound of the UMD re-release



2) The Japanese PS1 version has some BGM music test



3) You've accomplished all SCCs (straight character challenges) and now you get to play it in Japanese for extra challenge... unless you can read Japanese just fine
