Square-Enix' E3 gift of a
Final Fantasy VII PSN release was gratefully received, but if you'd asked us what PS1 games we'd like to see next from the publishers,
Final Fantasy Tactics would be near the bottom of our list. Somewhere under
Chocobo Racing and
Ehrgeiz, to be exact. It's not that we dislike the game -- far from it -- it's just that we've
played it recently on our PSPs with improved cutscenes and vastly superior translation. The idea of releasing the old "Spoony Bard" version on PSN instead of
Final Fantasy VIII or
IX doesn't exactly thrill us.
But it looks like that's what will be happening as the ESRB has rated the game for both the PS3 and PSP, meaning we could see it pop on the American PSN store at any moment. As for Europe? Don't bet on it -- the original PS1 version never made it across the Atlantic, so we don't expect the digital version to do so either.
