Awesome games! And plays on your PS3 ^_^

I've never tried a PS1 game on the ps3....I have Chrono Cross, Grandia and Persona 2 and a few others lying around I should try it out.

 

[Eternal Session]

I am now reminded of the copy I bought on eBay a few years ago for $20, thinking it was rare. It was new, but Greatest Hits.

Only if you have a first generation ps3.

 

[Beatles93]

I would buy this if it wasnt for the terrible loading screens

 

[T1NY]

Only if you have a first generation ps3.

My slim ps3 plays them no problem. First gen ps3 are the only ones that play ps2 games.

This. My understanding was that the PS1 emulation is by software. PS2 emulation is by a chip only in the first gen PS3.

This series should have died on the PS1. It wore out its welcome a long, long time ago. It's the Dynasty Warriors of RPGs. 

 

[tygerstyle]

Final Fantasy Origins is also $9.99.

 

[specialist]

Great games, but expect your playtime to be doubled because of the terrible load times. Just bringing up your item menu is like a ten second wait.

This series should have died on the PS1. It wore out its welcome a long, long time ago. It's the Dynasty Warriors of RPGs.

Wrong, since Final Fantasy X was fantastic. The best one, I'd say, competing evenly with VI and VII. And of course, the last great one.

 

[zaorocks]

How in the world does Amazon have brand new copies of these still sitting around? Also Chrono Cross is $9.99 as well

 

[Vinny]

I remember getting stuck in some tower in FFV... it was the first game I literally gave up on. And that was back in the day, when I was in middle school so it wasn't because of time, but I just couldn't bring myself to continue. 

Plus, that was after I played FFVI so... the game pretty much didn't have a chance.

This. My understanding was that the PS1 emulation is by software. PS2 emulation is by a chip only in the first gen PS3.

They later put in software emulation that worked for a wide variety of games, then took that out to launch PS2 Classics on PSN.

 

[Strider Turbulence]

The Final Fantasy VI port is a mess. Long load times before/after battles and opening menus, slowdown during battles, butchered music and sound fx. Bleh, that port always left me with a sour taste.

I disagree. There have been some really great Final Fantasy games since PS1.

 

[Blumpkin]

I've had the FF Anthology sitting in my cart for the last two months. It's been $9.99 the whole time.

 

[LordPerrin]

Wrong, since Final Fantasy XII was fantastic. The best one, I'd say, competing evenly with IV, VI and IX. And of course, the last great one.

FTFY

 

[Eternal Session]

FTFY

...No.

 

[TheGameCollector]

Chrono Cross is also $9.99.

 

[keithp]

...No.

Right, he needed to throw XII in there.

[ChuckInKC]

I think I own like three versions of each FFV-VII. Don't know why I'm still tempted to buy these. Nostalgia and wallets don't mix.

 

[Super Sonic]

Holy heck. I was half as old as I am now when I bought this. :shock:  How the heck are these games still being MADE?!

 

[ChuckInKC]

I honest to God didn't know you could play PS1 games on every version of PS3 until this thread.

 

[shivan128]

Only if you have a first generation ps3.

Every PS3 model has the ability to play PSX games. PS2 games compatibility was dropped after the MGS/Motorstorm bundled consoles after the hardware changed.

Great games, but expect your playtime to be doubled because of the terrible load times. Just bringing up your item menu is like a ten second wait.

It's just more time to contemplate which item you should really use. Thanks Square!

I am now reminded of the copy I bought on eBay a few years ago for $20, thinking it was rare. It was new, but Greatest Hits.

The black label ones were the rare copies. Now, with digital copies more readily available, combined with various re-releases...the price came down on them a lot.

 

[thelaughingmann]

This. My understanding was that the PS1 emulation is by software. PS2 emulation is by a chip only in the first gen PS3.

This. I had an 80GB unit upgraded to 160GB bought in 2008 (the last days of PS2 emulation) until it died in Jan, 2013. Ever since then, I switched my PS2 emulation to my gaming PC and kept my PS1 and PS3 stuff on my 160GB->320GB PS3 to play.

 

[AwRy108]

This. My understanding was that the PS1 emulation is by software. PS2 emulation is by a chip only in the first gen PS3.

First gen of PS3's play all PS1 and PS2 games; 2nd gen of PS3's play all PS1 games and limited PS2 games; all other gens of PS3 play all PS1 games and only PS2 games purchased via PSN.

 

[Eternal Session]

Yeah... I know...

 

[Emoney244]

I would avoid this version if you actually plan on playing them. The load times are bad and most importantly the translation is shit. Stick with emulation or the gba versions.

How in the world does Amazon have brand new copies of these still sitting around? Also Chrono Cross is $9.99 as well

See the Square-Enix logo on the bottom-right? There should be a Square Soft logo instead. That's because these are reprints that Square-Enix will do every so often-

The one thing that the PS1 version has over the other platforms though are those pretty rad CG openings.

 

[drd7of14]

Only if you have a first generation ps3.

That's not true. PS1 games play on every PS3. That's just referring to the PS2 games.

 

[mantis23]

That's not true. PS1 games play on every PS3. That's just referring to the PS2 games.

While it's true that every PS3 plays PS1 games, not every PS1 game runs on PS3. Final Fantasy Origins in particular is problematic as you cant revive in Final Fantasy II without the game crashing.

FFV's closing CG was cool. Even had Omega in it, no Gilgamesh sadly.

 

[Scorch]

They've had these in stock for several years. People seem to stumble across it every few months. They were $19.99, but they dropped them to $9.99 in July.

You never came back and apologized for being wrong. It's like you only live to attempt to shit on deals. I wonder why that is. I'm sorry you weren't hugged more as a child, it must've sucked.

 

[EpicGilgamesh]

Whatever happened to the DS remake of Final Fantasy VI? Is it in development for the 3DS?
