Final Fantasy VI Lands On Japanese PSN On April 20
See Full ImageFinal Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy III; call it what you will. Every veteran role-playing fan on earth knows what it is.
Not long after hearing Square-Enix would deliver Final Fantasy V to the PlayStation Store comes the news that Final Fantasy VI is headed to the digital realm, too. As revealed on the publisher's Japanese Twitter page and reported by IGN, Terra's adventure will land on the PSN on April 20. We don't know when or if the game will be released outside of Japan but considering the sheer amount of fan requests, we'd say there's a darn good chance. Many will claim this entry in the legendary franchise is still the best, although you'll easily find a strong FFVII contingent that often clashes with the more old-school FFVI support. If you're old enough to remember and aren't fully aware of the history, you might know this SNES classic as "Final Fantasy III," 'cuz that's the name it released under in the U.S.
Either way, it's a timeless classic and one you should definitely have in your collection, even if it's only a digital file.

What a truly pointless comment. But, so is this. :)

The idea that those we consider "mad" are the only ones who have experienced or have a greater knowledge of something others cannot comprehend.
In Kefka's case.... magic and espers.

This is a game that was held back by the tech of the time. There is so much wealth of ingenuity that went into the story and artistry of this.
I hope it comes to NA. It's a must buy for me if it does.
I actually understand exactly why people value this game over FFVII. I don't necessarilly agree, especially now that FFVII has a much fuller story to the whole collection, but I do understand where people are coming from.

Is there any chance Square will be including any new "CG cinematics exclusive to the PSN" like they're doing with Final Fantasy V? I really, really hope so.

1) VI. Runner up: IV
2) oh man... unfair... Lets say... VII just because of the hours into the series I've put in. Runner up VIII. But I loved IX too.
3) X hands down. Runner up, XI because I really got into it.... I still haven't finished XII (SHAME!)
But in all honesty.... I loved them all... so... so much.

All time? Tough. I'm going with either VII or VIII though. But I'm a romantic at heart. And Rinoa, Aeris, and Tifa all took a little love from my heart. Not gonna lie.

I mean, you never responded to that post a week back where you tried to mock me for not knowing that FFV was a PS1 classic... when, although it was apart of anthology, on it's own, was not a PS1 classic, and it is not releasing to the PSN as a PS1 classic. So stop comparing that.
If you would actually visit the store, you would see there are FAR FAR more PS1 classics than RPG's and Disney games. And many are amazing. There's a number of Spyro games, a number of tomb raider's, crash's, lots!
So stop your belly-aching.
