The Final Fantasy franchise will be two decades old this year, and to celebrate the occasion, publisher Square Enix earlier this year revealed that it is remastering Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II for the PlayStation Portable. While this seemed like a momentous time for longtime FF fans all over the globe, the games were announced only for Japan.

Thankfully for FF fans in the Western Hemisphere, Square decided to open up the party a little and today announced that the two games will be coming to the US this summer. The new PSP version of Final Fantasy will ship to stores on June 26, and its sequel will follow the next month on July 24. Both games will retail for $29.99.

The anniversary editions will feature new character art, enhanced graphics, new dungeons, an "updated camera view," and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Final Fantasy for the PSP is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older, and Final Fantasy II is rated T for Teen.

LOL no! its sprites. but they look 500,000 times better than the originals.

wow I can't believe the Square support for PSP. I thought DS would get the best games.

they better be very VERY good sprites to be on the PSP, which is capable of so much more. :(

I was a stronger supporter of these remakes. I am now disappointed to learn that the 2 games will not be bundled into one nice package. Your telling me that these 2 sprite based games could not fit on 1 UMD?

This is a bold move and these remakes better be damn good to warrant $29.99 each.

Although I'm disappointed about both games not being on one UMD, I guess I can just rip each game to my memory stick and have both games on the PSP simultaneously that way.

So thanks to Dark_AleX and his custom firmware, I will be buying both of these remakes. Square and other game developers should be appreciative of Dark_AleX.

I still dont see why FFII is rated T....

anyways, i will be getting these two games for my psp.

I still dont see why FFII is rated T....

i would say they rated it this for suggestive themes, animated violence, and mild language (maybe)

Other FFs were rated "Teen" also.

This was rated "Teen"

im not a big fan of ff but since its a remake and not just exactly like the crappy older version i might give it a try. also the enhanced graphics made me actually eager 2 play a ff game. and why would u want 2 put both games on one umd... its best on 2 bcus they could do more with it seperatly

I couldn't imagine FF I/II with 3D models... yuck. From what I've seen everything looks very crisp and vibrant.

Wait, SE did a great job with FF III for DS. It the least we should have on the PSP... so much potential, wasted.
