Hopefully they are taking the time to add a quality emulator but I doubt it

I'm going to be out of the country for the entirety of the FF week, so I'll probably have my wife log in for me.

I already own portable versions of 1-6 on the GBA, DS, and WonderSwan Color. I've had my fill of 7 and won't rebuy that until they make a redone version. I don't own 8 on disc and will probably grab that, and to be able to play 9 on a portable is also worth my money.

One odd consideration, and one that makes me still want to pick up 8 on disc some day, is that I assume that there isn't a way to access the Chocobo World minigame since there's no way I can fathom to attach a Pocket Station to a PS3. (The US release on PS1 claimed to have edited out the game, but it was fully functional if you happened to have the Japan-only peripheral. The PC release added a built-in emulator.) Granted, all that the minigame uniquely adds to the full game is an extra ability for one of your junctions, hardly a game breaker.

Wait what>? I thought we just decided that the only games that could be played on the go were FF4 and FFtactics. I must have missed something.

Or can PS1 games be played on the PSP, but not on the VITA?

All of the FF games that will be in the sale are playable on the PSP. The Dissidia games also work on the Vita, according to the CAG list.

Vita will (hopefully soon) be getting a firmware update that will allow it to play PS1 games. Why it didn't launch with that capability, I have no idea.

I see I see.... so I should buy this, in anticipation, that I can one day play them on my Vita, hmmm. Tempting... I might get IX just incase then. the ones I can play right now though on my vita are still IV and Tactics though. So I'll get those 3 then.

Wait wait! I Actually own FF IX. Can I play it through my VITA by sharing through my Ps3 (Remote connection)

Is there any point in playing Dissidia before 012? Or is the story disjointed and the sequel just a better game?

That's right. PSP hit in late 2004, PSN in Nov of 2006, and PS1 games were made available the following month.

I guess should have gone into a little more detail with my previous post. The point I wanted to get at is that Sony basically had almost a two year window to prep PS1 emulation for the PSP hardware, whereas they didn't have that luxury this time around and therefore it'd take a bit of time to get things running on the Vita.

There isn't unfortunately, however when I had the game on my PSP I downloaded a save file from gamefaqs which started the game at the first save point with 99 of all the chocobo world items and the extra ability already earned.

Thanks for the heads up OP! I will be picking up a 3 months PS+ subscription since the FF games i will be buying will save me $12, really only costing me $6 for those 3 months which i will probably use for something else.

the only reason i dont like PS+ is that once you don't have the subscription anymore, you no longer own the games either.. which sucks..

If you bought them with the discount you do. Its just the free games you don't keep

You never owned them to begin with. They're rentals. It's like a subscription to Napster or Rhapsody.

Anything you buy with a PS+ discount is yours to keep even if you let your sub lapse.

how often do you think you will replay games you probably wouldn't have bought?

Sony does a good job of making sure the desired downloads are the ones on sale most of the time.

yeah i have ff tactics, 6,7,8,9, all on ps1 disk (6 on gba) but how often have i put those in my ps3, never. so it might be worth it to get 6, tactics and maybe 7. i liked those the most. 8 and 9 i played and beat but never really enjoyed them too much. junction/draw system was horrible(in my opinion). i wish i could get xenogears for cheap or ct version that played well on my ps3, oh wellz.

i so wish they had trophies, but oh wellz...., i would have totally platted all of these in the past
I so can't wait for DMC collection, Silent Hill collection, and recently announced Ratchet and Clank collection, woot! blasts from the past!

I didn't know they are bringing back the theatrical throwdown from last year. I rented a good amount of movies from that promotion, saved me gas from heading to a redbox. Glad Sony is doing it again, going to get Reel Steel for the $0.99.

It started last week and it seems like it'll last for four more weeks.

Anything good to get right now for $10 bucks. I have $24 on my account, but when I get FFOrigins and FFVI, I will have $10 leftover.
