Should I download the PS1 port of FFVI from the PS store?

Posted

I heard that this port had had longer load times and a couple of bugs that wasn't in the other ports of the game,is that right??

 

Should I get it from the PS store or should I play the other ports?

Technically the PlayStation One version is the only basic port, and the PAL version only runs at 50Hz.

 

The Game Boy Advance version was a remake. And the Android version used the GBA version with some things remade.

 

I'd personally avoid it and play either the GBA or Android versions. Or you could wait for the iOS or Windows Phone versions.

I got a used GBA version but the save battery in it has died and I can't save anymore

 

Well,I think I'll get it from either the Virtual console(the original SNES version) or I'll wait

Do they even sell the FINAL FANTASY SNES games on the Virtual Console? I had a look online and only found the NES games.

 

I'd suggest waiting then.

From what I understand, the PS1 ports of the SNES Final Fantasy games were pretty poorly done. I have the port for FFIV, and while I haven't noticed any bugs, the music's kinda delayed, which gets a bit annoying. The FFV port actually had a game breaking bug though, so I personally don't trust the PS1 ports after hearing about that one. (They didn't even fix the bug when they put it on PSN... Lazy ports of lazy ports, yay). I'd recommend just getting the SNES version through the Wii Shop, that's how I got it.

Wait? Are you expecting it to be on HD for PS4?

Lol. God no, I don't see any FINAL FANTASY games getting a full remake anytime soon.

 

We'll get iOS and Windows Phone versions of VI soon. And it wouldn't surprise me if Square Enix release the latest versions of I-VI (including The After Years) on PC.

on Wii virtual console,they already have the American version of FF1,FF4 and FF6

HD remastered/remade versions of EVERY Final Fantasy on PS4 in one pack for 60 dollars! Square would be swimming in money! 

I'd get the virtual console version,I also heard that the PS1 version had load time

I didn't see that, I only saw I, II & III.

They used the original localized numbering because that's what the games were released under on our side of things when it wasn't so obvious Square was cutting us short of some installments.

That's their name during the 90's

 

back then,only FF1,4 and 6 were localized for the SNES and the rest remained in Japan

 

So Square had to rename them into FF1,2 and 3 despite them being 1,4 and 6,FF2 and 5 didn't get localized until the Ps1 ports of them

 

While FF3 remained Japan exclusive until the DS remake of it

 

Look up any Final Fantasy retrospective and it'll tell you the same thing I've said

I can personally attest to the awful load times of the PS1 ports.  You're better off sticking with the original SNES version.

How long the load times are??Are they like 15+ seconds???

 

If so,I'm sticking with the SNES versionVirtual console version

For instance, the transition from the main screen to the main menu is at least five seconds.  That doesn't sound like much, until you compare it to the six or so seconds it takes in the original to open your menu, use a potion or two, and exit.
