Square Bringing Timeless Classics to PS3

Posted on Monday, July 18 @ 10:21:36 Eastern by


Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to buy games solely based on the packaging having a Squaresoft logo. I was young, I didn't understand what a developer or publisher was, but I wasn't too inexperienced to recognize a stamp of quality.

Most of these titles were on what I consider the greatest console of all time, mostly due to its library of games: the SNES. I was already addicted to Final Fantasy, which sparked this decade-long obsession with Squaresoft. But it wasn't until I found Chrono Trigger until I knew to look for that logo.

Fast forward to now. Square is no longer Soft, has merged with Enix, and has made some extremely poor business decisions. Hoping to come out of that slump, Square Enix is bringing two of their timeless classics to the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network. Or so it seems.

The Electronic Software Ratings Board has rated both Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI (or Final Fantasy III as it was released as in the States) for the PlayStation 3.

When the ESRB rates a title, a release usually follows shortly after. Look out for them in the PlayStation Store in the coming weeks.

    P.S. I also have a DS-lite. And very fond memories of my SNES which got stolen 15 years ago.

    Chrono Trigger needs to be made into a movie by a good director that knows the content.

    I agree. They'd probably give it the dragonball treatment and turn it into total crap unrelated to the source material.

    I assume these are just going to be the ps1 version tossed into the ps1 classics section, so in that case theve already done FF7

    Squenix needs to do something before they fall completely apart, and I guess this is the best they can do at the moment. Maybe we'll see that FF7 remake after all. I just hope they don't change the feel from the origional. And not make Bahamut look like a giant My Little Pony.

    On a side note, perhaps it's just their time to go. They had a good run, move over and make room for Bethesda.

    I gotta admit that I've played Chrono Trigger and FF6 enough times to the point where I know them both inside and out. I probably will still buy them from the PSN, but only if the price is right. The point I'm trying to make, however, has to do primarily with how easy it is to exploit your old game licenses to make some quick cash in times of desperation, disney-style (or lucas-style). Throw out the same movie/game with no real discernible difference to the original for the exception of some "enhancements" that do almost nothing to build upon the already existing story/experience, and still charge top dollar for it.

    Am I a tool for paying up? For not paying up? For complaining? Please help out this tortured soul.

    My friend no one can make you buy anything, especially something you don’t need. Yes, companies re-release old titles all the time music, movies, books, and games. Why do they? Because the development costs has already been written off the books, leaving them with a higher profit margin than before, and thus more money in their pockets. As well as the fact new customers for old titles are always coming up. The company wins if you buy, but you win too if you really want it and can afford it. A very good rule of thumb is to wait a day, if you still want the re-released old title, and can afford it. Then by all means get it.
