Final fantasy for gamecube

Yeah, the Nintendo RPGs seem to be a weak area at the moment. Square should help boost that some.

Although I'm not seeing anymore real hardcore FFs anymore! XI is online and is lacking a real sense of immersion in the story (or so I'm told), same for XII, X-2 is a sequel and is looking different, and FFCC is Kingdom Hearts style. I see no more traditional FFs in the near future, please don't tell me this is the end!

Unfortunately, it is true. Mostly. FFI is indeed being remade, but only for PSX and it probably won't be released here in the U.S. And even so, it's just a remake. But it does look great! It looks like an improved SNES game, but that's good enough for me. It's totally revamped. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is coming out... but that's not really traditional. Yes, Square is done with the traditional Final Fantasy games. Until we riot. Which we will.

I can only pray

. I heard about the PSX remakes. Although I heard it as Final Fantasy Collection, consisting of 1-3.

Final Fantasy Chronicles was already released in the US, it consisted of Crono Trigger and FFIV. (Here in the UK we got 6 on its own,(with a FFX demo:?) and European Anthology, which had 4 and 5, not CT release over here, why I bought Chronicles as well).

We're talking about I, II and III...

then how would you level? you'd never be strong enough to fight bosses. But yes I'm aware of that charm and gave it quite the work out for several hours, still doesn't tak you NEED the battles.

Damn company, confused so many Americans. The first FF we got was 7, so when I started on the retro games I did my homework.

NES:
FFI - Released in Japan and US
FFII - Released in Japan only
FFIII - Released in Japan only

SNES:
FFIV - Released in Japan and in the US as FFII, except easier with less items.
FFV - Released in Japan only
FFVI - Released in Japan and US

PSX
FFVII - Released universally.
etc.

I won't go on with the other FFs.

Then they released IV, V, and VI universally for the PSX, under their original Japanese names, in various anthologies.

Damn, no edit button. That is supposed to say 'as FFIII' on the end of that...
