port games as good as ff 10 or make new ones that good for the psp instead of the crap no one cares about anymore or beat already like star ocean or ff1/ff2? I mean the only people that can enjoy ff10 are people with a ps2 unlike the others they keep making for the psp based on ps1 tech.
because they will not get enough money working these games on psp
First off, FF 10 barely fit onto a DVD, much less compressing it to a UMD. That's not too likely to happen. Even redoing FF 7-9 would require 2 UMD's or so.
My main problems with the re-releases of FF1 and 2 for the PSP are...
a) They fit both onto a single CD for the PSX, why separate UMDs for the PSP version?
b) They've got a 3-d graphics engine in place for the FF III DS remake, why not just apply it to FF 1 and 2?
Was the PlayStation version a remake or a port?Quote:

Port
The PSX version was a remake. It had the higher-quality sprites and music that were later in Dawn of Souls.
Hell, come to think of it, Dawn of Souls was 1&2 on a single GBA cart!
The psp versio has vastly updated graphics though.
Final Fantasy X sucks. The name sounds cool though (Final Fantasy EKS:D). Want a real FF? Play FF6 now that's something that has to be ported :)
Ps1 version of FF 1 & 2 were obviously remakes.
They agreed to release FF 1, 2 and 3 on the Wonderswan Color even if that handled future was incertain.. Also, sony helped so much SE in the past.. that quite cheap of them to release only thoses re-remake on psp.Quote:

Ya, and PSP hardware could give so much more out of it. There is certainly a exclusivity issue with nintendo for the Matrix Engine.Quote:

They did. It was re-released on the GBA not too long ago.Quote:

.... well.... A man can DREAM, can't he?
thats not true, they are even doing ff7 on the ds or at least it was a rumor so im pretty sure if they cna fit it on a ds cart they cna fit any of them on the psp umd. Infact they have compression and can take away the cut scenes and replace them with text.Quote:

Secondly, while you COULD take that stuff out, it would seriously damage the sales of the game. Who'd buy a crippled remake? FF7-9 would be fairly easy to improve on graphically with the PSP, cutscenes and all. 10 and 12 would not. (I have dreams of taking FFXI with me on my PSP, but that'll NEVER happen.)
The GBA and DS remakes have all been VAST improvements on the originals. Squeenix may think with their wallets sometimes, but they're not stupid.
Heh... Likely because of folks like us who see more potential in a console than simply commercial releases. Homebrew aside, though, I use my PSP for music almost constantly (At work... In my car...) and I think a lot of folks use it for its media capabilities as well. Keep in mind that there are a LOT of titles for the PSP. It's just that none of them have been phenomenal blockbusters.Quote:

All that aside, though... 10 second-rate titles selling 200,000 units will put up the same numbers as a single 2-million selling game.
but alot of psp games are just watered down ps2 games anyway like prince of persia, so why dont they just water down ff10 for it?
As Tesseract said, people don't use the PSP only for games. And all the good software is on the DS.Quote:

Remaking 1-6 was a good Idea because the gaming industry then wasn't NEARLY as popular as it is now. Most people who own PSPs have played FF10... Lots of people who own PSPs weren't even ALIVE when FF1 was initially released 20 years ago. They're re-telling classic stories to a new generation that hadn't heard them before.
Besides... I'd rather hear some new tales from Squeenix. They're excellent storytellers. That's why they're so popular today! :)
