Finally The Original Fantasy

As if there hasn't been enough awesome Final Fantasy going about the interwebs since E3, Square-Enix drops some more good news for all of the FFFreaks (F3 from now on). Not as cool as a full on remake of FFVI for the PS3, or FFVII remake either, but today on the Japanese PSN "the game that launched a billion spin offs" was made available. I'm talking the original Final Fantasy. The PSOne upgrade version at that.

Now I know this doesn't mean it is coming to an english speaking PSN anytime soon, but if you look at the track record, it is pretty certain. Or at least we can hope or download it with a Japanese PSN account. Also download it for the price of games of comparable file size as well. 600 yen (6.30 USD) for a 60MB game of awesomeness. Not a bad deal at all if I do say so myself. They could have tried to charge the full cost of the game, but only went the way of a small PSN game. How kind.

Seems like only a small matter of time before we'll be able to have all of these great games and stories in one location. As long as it isn't just a cock tease to everyone but the Japanese kids there.
