From the interview: "Square Enix is a firm supporter of both handhelds, with a number of great titles available on both Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. However, why was (arguably) their biggest game developed exclusively for PSP, instead of the more-popular DS? Pocket Gamer talked to producer Hideki Imaizumi and executive producer Yoshinori Kitase about exactly that: "Yes, there are a lot of DSs out there - but does that mean that our products sell in relation to that? That our sales grow with how many DSs or PSPs there are out there? It's not really the case."
Reunion is the big-screen remaster of Crisis Core that so many have asked for since the original game was released. For those who shun the smaller screens of handheld gaming, this will be their first time experiencing this early chapter in the ongoing Final Fantasy VII saga. The big question is, is it worth the wait?
A new Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Play Arts Kai figure is coming this summer, with pre-orders closing today!
Cloud Strife and Zack Fair are two deeply beloved characters in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, but which one is the better protagonist?
Both are great. Zack was the reason how Cloud became who he is, is just a really fun character and had to go through a ton of struggle so I do rate him a bit higher. Can't wait for the two to perhaps fight with or against eachother in the next part or two in the remake games.
Because it's FFVII related so that'd make sense that it's on the PSP, considering Sony published the game in a lot of territories.
It can't be done on the DS but I could be wrong.
Also that the FFVII series was established on the PlayStation consoles. I would assume that they were targeting the audience that grew up with said brand.
I think its just as he said, there is a more teen-young adult population for the PSP. The DS may have more units out on the market by a vast majority, but units sold doesn't automatically guaruntee that a certain game to that large population, you have to look at demographics of owners; espeically when a large number of people with DS are younger kids and older adults (not saying that there isn't a decent amount of teen to young adult demographic on the ds). Plus, as you pointed out FFVII was for the PS and I think that most people that played FFVII for the PS wound up sticking with the sony PS brand over time and thus FFVIII: CC was more likely to sell better on the PS.
Plus as someone pointed out above...from what I've seen so far the PSP is graphically superior to the DS.
psp is WAY more powerful graphically, screen is better and almost HD. psp is basically a portable ps2 lol crisis core has Kingdom hearts graphics, ds cant do that, not even close
