FFVIII Being Summoned to EU PS Store

PlayStationLifeStyle writes:
To mark the Tokyo Game Show, Japan's biggest games conference, Square Enix, Japan's biggest third-party developer, released the PSOne classic game Final Fantasy VIII on the Japanese PlayStation Store. FF VIII, the fastest selling FF game of all time, was released in 1999 to rather positive reviews, and, while many suggest that the game lies in the shadow of its predecessor, FF VII, it still remains a highly desirable game. Therefore, it was seen as a shame that the game was only released on the Japanese PS Store, with only the usual "no comment" given regarding an overseas release.

Which is definitely a good thing.

Insomnia_846088d ago

aaaaaahhh I want it in the US now!!!!

meepmoopmeep6088d ago

i got VII when it hit the US store, i'll get VIII & IX when it comes as well.

i have them on disc but the portable PSP play is Ace

GameGambits6088d ago

Drawing 100 fires madness!? Lol. This is great news to those who are big fans of 8. I completed 8 and beat Omega Weapon, but it's def not in my top 5 or 3 favorite FF games.

The second FF9 hits USA store I will get it. It's my favorite FF game and I'd buy it 100X over to have it on my PSP. :)

iamtehpwn6088d ago

They'll release Final Fantasy X in PS3(HD/Trophies) mode, like God of war Ps3 collection style.

Insomnia_846088d ago

I want to fight Omega in the caves again!!!

STK0266088d ago

as if SE would ever do something like that. It would probably generate a bit too much profit if they were to rerelease FFX, so they probably won't until no one cares about it anymore. That's pretty much waht they're doing with 7. Also, it would explain why they didn't even bother putting their games on the PSN for the release of the Go. I mean, the release of the Go is pretty much like a launch date for the PSN Store (for the PSP), with thousands of people buying the Go and looking for some games on the Store, only to realize that Crisis Core, Dissidia and the FF1 and FF2 games aren't available. Great job SE.

Finally, FF8 original UK is one of the handful of games that don't work on a PS3, but strangely the platinum version of the game does work 0_o

Another game i will have to get as soon as it hits the US store.

lightningsax6088d ago

I have moved from VI to VIII for Best FF title recently. I have the original, but I'll be picking this up for my PSP, and I'll be picking up my PSP solely to play this. Oh and Jumping Flash! 2! I can't believe they released that this week in the States!!!

Lucreto6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

Can't wait. My disk is damaged and it freezes on the opening CG scene. It also doesn't more on my PS3 so I can't wait to play it.

I also got a work around to use the cheats from the action replay. :)

Those Tonberrys are difficult to defeat to get the Tonberry King summon.

gerol6088d ago

thanks.. now please bring it on US PSN STORE!

doctorstrange6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

Then the US should get it at any sec

ReservoirDog3166088d ago

Hopefully doctorstrange.

Hopefully...

Nice that they get some things before us though.

switch only for 7 8 and 9

remake and rebirth ps5

S2Killinit234d ago

7,8,9 only Switch
7 remake & rebirth only PS5?
Is this accurate? Wish it was all for both.

-Foxtrot236d ago

Why can’t they just do a cool classic collection with VII, VIII and IX in with some goodies similar to what they did with the Pixel Remaster.

FinalFantasyFanatic234d ago

I would honestly go for a Remaster Collection, just AI upscale some textures (there are really good fan mods for that), widescreen everything where possible, higher native resolution, etc...

It seems like a no-brainer to make such a large portion of what was FF's golden age into a collection of it's own.

gold_drake234d ago

this is square we're talking about.

VersusDMC235d ago

Weird that 7 and 8 are together for 40 and 9 is 40 on it's own.

8 should be the one on it's own as it actually has redone models.

jznrpg235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

I have ff8 ps4 remastered physical euro version. They should have put these on PS5 physically so lame.

B5R235d ago

I'm actually so tired of hearing about FFIX. Just replayed it with Moguri Mod earlier this month. That might as well be the definitive version.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777297d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher296d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989297d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot297d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake296d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86296d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

Playstation Icons: Squall Leonhart

Gary Green said: Tempting as it is to dedicate our first installment of PlayStation Icons to a franchise-leader like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or even Sackboy, instead I’m choosing a character that I, like so many others, connected with on a personal level. He’s a moody, world-weary teen, a proud loner with no time for the drama of others, and yet he’s also a hero just waiting for the motivation to unleash his full potential. He’s a warrior. He’s a leader. He’s the king of internal monologues. It’s time to meet Squall Leonhart.
