User questions & answers

Question: Can this game be played on ps
Answer: They said the sensor bar is included, not sure about AV or power cables.
Question: Why the game does not recognize the memory card? I'm playing it on a PS
Answer: It does NOT. You need a AVI to HDMI converter. It will only cost like $10, well worth it.
Question: Can this be played on a ps3 or ps
Answer: I have another game that used to do that, I could play it but I would have to put the disc in several times before it would come up, it doesn't do that anymore, if you can play the game and but sometimes that happens, in my mind when it happened with my game, I was thinking maybe it was just like when you put a dvd or a cd into the drive wrong or too fast and the machine has trouble reading it so you have to put it in again carefully, then it reads, if you cannot play the game at all, if you never loads, then if you can play other games on your system with no issue, then it may just be a defective disk
Question: ive heard ps1 games wont play on a ps2 will this play on a 2 without having to do any tricks to make it work
Answer: No es necesario con los otros accesorios

Final Fantasy Anthology - PlayStation

Square Enix

Based on 814 reviews Check latest price

Product description

Final Fantasy Anthology incorporates two of the most beloved FINAL FANTASY titles ever published. First released as FINAL FANTASY III in the U.S., FINAL FANTASY VI brings back all of the qualities that made it the best selling RPG of its time, and adds a few bonuses unique to this re-release. The second title in this compilation, FINAL FANTASY V, is seeing its first ever release in the U.S. Featuring an innovative 'Job' system and a story that will take the player to different worlds, this title will finally show U.S. gamers what they have been missing. If you are new to the FINAL FANTASY universe, pick up Anthology as way of getting to know the series that has garnered the praise of millions. If you are already a fan, pick it up to relive the magic once again.

Showcasing two installments of SquareSoft's wildly popular role-playing game (RPG) series, Final Fantasy Anthology features the U.S. debut of Final Fantasy V, and reintroduces one of the best RPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VI, originally released as Final Fantasy III on the Super Nintendo gaming system.

Both games are straight Super Nintendo conversions, so their 2-D graphics and 16-bit sounds are admittedly subpar by PlayStation standards. However, SquareSoft has added brand-new, beautifully animated movies for both titles, and has given Final Fantasy VI the star treatment it deserves by adding a bonus mode where gamers can access loads of supplementary material, such as artwork and data files on the game's monsters and items.

While Final Fantasy V is one of weaker entries in the series, Final Fantasy VI alone is totally worth the price of Final Fantasy Anthology. Endearingly melodramatic characters, a genuinely epic story line, and rock-solid gameplay make Final Fantasy VI just as absorbing today as it was when it was Final Fantasy III. --Joe Hon

Pros:

  • Brand-new animated movies
  • Reissues Final Fantasy VI, one of the best RPGs ever
  • Lots of supplementary material for Final Fantasy VI
Cons:
  • Dated graphics and sounds may bother some gamers
  • The previously unreleased Final Fantasy V may as well have stayed unreleased

Review

When Square re-released classic SNES Final Fantasy titles for the PlayStation in Japan, the more cynical minded accused the company of milking its core franchise; after all, the titles were repackaged with negligible gameplay enhancements and extras. But when Square announced the US release of Final Fantasy V and VI - combined as Final Fantasy Anthology - well, that's a horse of a different color, isn't it? After all, the series didn't hit it big in the US until Final Fantasy VII, and many gamers never played the Super Nintendo installments. Moreover, one of the titles, Final Fantasy V, is coming to the US for the first time ever. So how does the Anthology stack up? As a historical monument of two genre landmarks, it is fantastic; as two individual RPG titles, each is a masterpiece of gameplay and storytelling; but as a modern collection of classic titles, the package falls unfortunately short.

Before its arrival in the anthology, Final Fantasy V was announced and canceled for a US release no fewer than three times. The fourth announcement was the charm, however, and many gamers' favorite Final Fantasy has finally hit the States. So what was the big fuss about? Certainly not the storyline. Unlike the more "modern" Final Fantasies - VI, VII, and VIII - Final Fantasy V features paper-thin characters, a trite and cliched plot, and hours of fetch quests uninterrupted by character development or plot twists. The endearingly poor translation doesn't help things, either; it reads like a cross between early-'90s shoddiness and late-'90s "attitude." Think Working Designs without the proofreading - or the humor - and you're close. Making matters worse is that since the game's original nonrelease in 1993, there have been two separate fan translations of the entire game - and both are vastly superior to Square's "official" effort. Yet despite the mediocrity of plot, dialogue, and everything else modern RPGs are so dependent on, there's something that keeps gamers coming back to Final Fantasy V time and time again: rock-solid gameplay.

Final Fantasy V delivers one of the series' most in-depth and detailed game systems: the job system. Each character can be assigned one of 22 possible jobs or classes. Choices range from traditional classes, like knights, wizards, lancers, and thieves, to more esoteric ones, such as chemists, dancers, sorcerers, and trainers. Each class has certain innate skills and abilities (ninjas can use two swords, thieves have high agility, wizards can cast their variety of magic, and so forth). Ability points earned from battle increase the job's level and you'll eventually gain secondary abilities. Each class can then "equip" a single earned ability. This flexibility can lead to powerful combinations: A knight can use the ninja's "equip two swords" ability and then wield a heavy sword in each hand. A monk can use the knight's "wear heavy armor" skill to become a defensive powerhouse. This level of flexibility and ability to customize is what has endeared the job system to many players.

Final Fantasy VI was many gamers' first entry to the world of traditional Japanese RPGs. Even today, its characters and storyline are a high mark for the entire genre. Final Fantasy VI marks the series' turn towards more mature storylines and well-developed characters; the super-deformed graphics mask an exceedingly well-formed story. Over 14 characters join your party - the most of any Final Fantasy game - and they have their own story, motivations, and side quests. Final Fantasy VI is an absolutely massive RPG, and even a skilled player will take 40 to 50 hours to uncover all of its secrets.

Final Fantasy VI lacks the detailed system of Final Fantasy V but more than compensates with its large number of unique characters. Each party member has a special technique to use in battle. Sabin the bruiser has Street Fighter-style button combinations; Cyan has his sword techniques; Terra the half-Esper can morph into a more-powerful form, and so forth. You are encouraged to frequently switch party members and sample everything the characters have to offer.As mid- to late-generation 16-bit titles, these games' presentations have slightly suffered. The gameplay remains rock solid, but the graphics appear dated and old-fashioned. Players used to Final Fantasy VIII's six-head-tall characters may be initially put off by the SNES games' squat sprites; players drawn to Final Fantasy VII and VIII for the eye candy will be more than disappointed. Open-minded gamers who understand what they're getting into should have no trouble slipping into the retro-groove, however. Even today, the games stand as masterworks of 2D design.The music, amazingly, has only improved with time. Hearing series composer Nobuo Uematsu's masterworks is a revelation; that such orchestral majesty was wrought from the Super Nintendo's primitive sound hardware is mind shattering. Unfortunately, the emulation process has slightly garbled some of the instruments and sound effects; careful listeners can discern an overall tinniness not present in the SNES versions.In their haste to bring these classic titles to market, Square has skimped slightly on the presentation. Unlike most classic compilations, there is very little in the way of extras. Final Fantasy V and VI both feature a brief rendered introduction and ending, and Final Fantasy VI features an "omake" mode with a monster encyclopedia, battle history, and art gallery. The games themselves are untouched from their original SNES incarnations; aside from the bit of load time here and there, you might as well be playing the original cartridges. The one included extra is an OSV soundtrack of songs reportedly culled from a survey of Square Soft fans. Unfortunately, the survey results posted at Square's web site show that fans' votes were entirely ignored, and the music disc contains as many stinkers as it does glaring omissions.Mediocre packaging and emulation quirks aside, it's hard not to like Final Fantasy Anthology. Gamers get two of the deepest, greatest RPGs ever created for less than the price of a single new game - it's hard to argue with that sort of value. Whether you've waited five years for Final Fantasy V or just finished your first Final Fantasy, the Final Fantasy Anthology is sure to entertain. --Andrew Vestal

User questions & answers

Question: Is this for american playstations
Answer: This is a disc, however the special edition will be exclusively a download.
Question: Este final fantasy funciona en cuales consolas de playstation la 1,2,3 o 4? Gracias
Answer: You might be mistaking the PS Move game Medieval Moves which was on PS3 for MediEvil which was on the PS1. MediEvil was only available on the PS3 as a PS1 Classic and it used the normal controller. MediEvil was a 3D platforming and combat game from the PS1 era, and the PS4 game is a remake of that original game.
Question: does it work on playstation
Answer: Yes ps1 games can be played on ps2 and ps3
Question: Will this play on a PS
Answer: Although you can play ps1 games on ps2, you can not save the data of a ps1 game onto a PS2 memory card, nor can you put in a ps1 memory card into a ps2. I believe that's correct anyway.

Product description

FINAL FANTASY CHRONICLES

The two classic RPGs in this compilation not only represent hours upon hours of story, character, and action, they also present the background for two recent bestselling, critically hailed games: Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Cross.

With all the different names for the original 1991 release of the first title in this compilation (Final Fantasy IV in Japan, Final Fantasy II in the U.S.), role-players new to the game may get confused. Make no mistake, though: Final Fantasy Chronicles marks the first time this pivotal installment of the cherished game series has ever been available on the PlayStation. In Final Fantasy IV, players take on the role of Cecil, a loyal captain who questions the orders of his king, and for it is sent to slay a mysterious beast in a nearby valley.

In Chrono Trigger, Chrono must follow princess Marle's teleportation through time and locate her before an intergalactic parasite arrives to destroy the world. The original game, also on the PlayStation for the first time, was one of the first nonlinear role-playing games. The decisions that players make during the game will point them toward one of more than a dozen possible endings.

These new versions retain the authentic Japanese SNES stories and characters while updating their graphics and adding new full-motion video sequences and other features.

  • The Final Fantasy Chronicles set includes new opening and closing cinematic sequences for Chrono Trigger and re-creations of memorable sequences
  • New abilities include a "dash" feature, allowing players to move quickly through towns and dungeons
  • 2-player mode allows players to participate in battles together
  • Improved localization of the original unedited story
  • Includes all the original monsters, abilities, items and scenes that were not seen in the SNES version

User questions & answers

Question: Is this the original ff4 from japan, and chrono trigger from the snes just on the ps
Answer: It works perfectly on the Playstation 2. You only need to have a Playstation 1 memory card handy so you can save/load your file. The only downside is the translation, but I'm one of those people that don't care for translations. The game is very fun.In short: Yes. Get a PS1 Memory Card though. It won't save on a PS2 one.
Question: With ff4 on ps3, is it glitchy, and if so, would said glitches make the game unfinishable like with ff2 in ff origins(when played on ps
Answer: Well that all depends on what ps3 you have. I have a model which is older and can play both ps1 and ps2 games. But a newer model wont be able to. The bulky ps3's should be reverse compatible but as far as I know the slimmed versions do not. I hope that answers your question.
Question: Hi! Is this a Green Label Edition or Black Label? (I mean, in case the pic are just for reference
Answer: You can buy each one separately but you can only use one or the other at one time. You cannot buy the disc and then only by the exclusive content of the Deluxe and add it to your disc version.
Question: Will it play on PS
Answer: Yes you get 10 avatars you should have received an email with a code

Spider-Man

Based on 238 reviews Check latest price

Product description

Take a look overhead--Spider-Man is arriving to the PlayStation just in time. As the beloved photojournalist-cum-webslinger, you'll freely explore New York's skyline, sewers, and hideouts to fulfill several missions. Use Spider-Man's superhuman strength to fight such notorious foes as Scorpion, Venom, and Rhino. Use his spider abilities to spin webs (any size) to disable and detain bosses, swing around buildings, and creep along walls and ceilings. And thanks to your spider-sense, you'll detect impending danger from a distance. There is no wealth or fame at the end of this game, however; action is your reward.

Whether you're a fan from the '60s or not even remotely familiar with the Spider-Man comic, you will get caught in his web. You'll see that despite its few flaws and the limitations of the PlayStation hardware, Spider-Man is the best based-on-a-superhero video game ever released.

A crime has been committed and (as often happens) our hero has been framed. As the game progresses, you'll find that all is not as it seems and that many of Spidey's enemies, including Venom, Carnage, Mysterio, and Rhino, are all out to squash the Spider's quest to clear his name. Fortunately, Spider-friends, such as Daredevil, Human Torch, and Punisher, are here to help Spider-Man and keep the story moving. Like the comics, ol' webhead can climb most walls and ceilings, swing from rooftop to rooftop and, of course, do whatever a spider can. With his constant webslinging and acrobatic hand-to-hand fisticuffs, it's easy to feel that you are Spider-Man.

The characters and scenery are nicely re-created here by making great use of the aging PlayStation's graphics. Spidey's ability to climb walls and ceilings does present problems with camera angles from time to time, occasionally making it tough to watch Spidey as he fights his way through some of the game's levels. While it can be frustrating, the overall camera work and graphics of Spider-Man are still amazing. Also, Spider-Man's controls can at times be less responsive and accurate than they should be, and the music is surprisingly subdued and flat, but most true believers can bear these problems until Spidey saves the day.

In fact, the gameplay is so good, most seasoned gamers will devour the game in day or two, which makes Spider-Man a woefully short game. Cherish the time you have in these red and blue tights; this game is escapism at its best. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

  • Easily, the best comic-book-based game ever released
  • Very nice graphics that capture the look and feel of the comic
  • Easily accessible and fun action title
Cons:
  • Occasionally sloppy camera work, controls, and inaccurate firing
  • Finishing the game so quickly is upsetting

  • 1 Player
  • Analog Control Compatible
  • Vibration Function Compatible
  • Wall Crawl and Web Sling through 3D New York
  • Rated "E" for Everyone

User questions & answers

Question: How can i play this on my ps2 connected to my hdmi vizio if it keeps saying, "no signal
Answer: I received a black label version, make sure the seller STATES that it is an original copy and NOT the dreaded Greatest Hits version before you make a purchase.
Question: can this be played on a PC
Answer: Yes. The PS3 prompts you to create an internal memory card in either PS2 or PS format. I used PS2 format even though it is a PS game. Rebooted the system to make the internal memory card active and it immediately recognized the PS disc and started up normally. Hope it works as good for you.
Question: Can I play this game on PS2 later version
Answer: Yes - my copy of the game is for the American PlayStation.
Question: Can ps1 gameS work on ps
Answer: Funciona en la 1, 2 y 3

A Bug's Life PS

THQ

Based on 88 reviews Check latest price

Product description

Based on the animated film, A Bug's Life is an epic game of miniature proportions. The story follows the exciting adventures of a misfit ant named Flik as he tries to save his colony from a greedy gang of grasshoppers led by Hopper. As Flik, you travel through fully interactive 3D environments brought to life with cinematic quality animation, smooth controls, and challenging puzzles. Get ready for a bug's-eye-view in an incredible and fast-paced adventure.

From the Manufacturer

Based on Pixar/Disney s new film of the same name A Bug's Life is a 3D platform adventure game that enables gamers to take the role of Flik an ant. The game is staged in various outdoor environments and Flik's goal is to gather seeds find the entrance to his ant hill and ultimately defeat the evil gang of crazy-looking bugs including nasty grasshoppers and Thud the Horsefly.

Review

Of all the various types of games, the 3D platform game may just be the hardest to pull off. In 2D platform games, the developers restrict your options and guide you along a predetermined path that can mask flaws in the game. In fighting, driving, and sports games, the pure adrenaline of playing can mask many shortcomings. In role-playing games, a sense of scale and adventure can help cover up bad graphics or nonsensical puzzles. But when you pop in a 3D adventure game, you have the luxury of exploring every nook and cranny of a game; in fact, there's no other way to play a true 3D game except to leave no stone unturned. A developer has the opportunity to shock you with the detail, beauty, and scope of his creation. On the other hand, if a 3D game is flawed, it is there in all its misery for you to uncover. In the worst 3D games, you are a free-roaming guest in a world that you would never, ever want to visit.

It's hard to imagine a world I'd like to visit less than that of A Bug's Life, especially since I know the incredible opportunities that the developers had when bringing a Pixar movie to life on the PlayStation. By now, we all know just what incredible things the PlayStation is capable of (Final Fantasy VII and Crash Bandicoot 3 come to mind), so the fact that the developer wasted both an incredible story and a remarkable piece of hardware makes this game's failure all the more frustrating.

In A Bug's Life, you take on the role of an ant trying to secure the future of his colony. Progressing through a series of 3D levels, you explore both the outside world and work your way through the ant hill. The game is punctuated by constant voice-overs more grating than Gex: Enter the Gecko and graphics that shock only by their lack of quality. In fact, at times I would stare at the screen and ponder how any game on the PlayStation could possibly look this bad.

To add insult to injury, the gameplay is extremely frustrating. The camera is impossible to manipulate effectively, and you spend a lot of time bumping into things only because you can't work out where you stand in relation to them. Your main form of attack is a clumsy throw of fruit at enemies; it is very difficult to judge where to aim your shots.

The disc has several clips of the Pixar movie included for your viewing pleasure; it is obvious that Disney was more interested in producing a $40 advertisement for its movie than in developing a playable game. --John Broady

User questions & answers

Question: Is this the greatest hits edition or the black label one
Answer: Yes and also a Ps3
Question: do this goes to a computer or ps
Answer: Yes PS1 works on PS2 I had the PS1 and I'm happy with it. It works on PS2 I asked the same question before. before I purchase the PS1 have fun playing Playstation One game
Question: Is it compatible with ps
Answer: This seems like the same thing as Final Fantasy 4 for Super Famicom. It is not Final Fantasy 4 Easy Type, it is the standard version. Also, this is a port of Super Nintendo Chrono Trigger, however, some text is changed (mostly in Magus's castle and anything related to Magus). There are short cutscenes. As for the fact that this is a PS1 game, naturally the game has insane amounts of loading times. Every time you enter a battle or the music changes, it has to load. If you want to play Chrono Trigger, I would suggest the Super Nintendo version. If you can read Japanese, the Japanese version is significantly cheaper than the American version.
Question: Is it compatible with playstation
Answer: It isn't that glitchy. I've been taking my time to progress through this game as there are many points were level grinding are a necessity, and I get bored after doing nothing else after a while. I'm up to the sealed cave in the underworld section. whereas the aforementioned flicker and pixelated outline on story progressed cinematics, I've found that the flashes actually help reveal hidden areas in the game, such as the tunnels in the cave of summons.

Chrono Cross - PlayStation

Square Enix

Based on 1 reviews Check latest price

Product description

While it's officially a sequel to the immensely popular Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross is completely its own role-playing game with over 40 characters, a branching story line, and multiple endings. Like its predecessor, the game is about crossing through time and setting things right. This story focuses on Serge's quest for the Frozen Flame, which will give the beholder the power to bend space and time. Serge wants the power to save himself from dying in a parallel universe but, as you can guess, nefarious forces are also vying for the Frozen Flame to suit their own purposes.

Chrono Cross features the stylish character designs and wondrous cut scenes that gamers have come to expect from SquareSoft, but the game also has a number of gameplay innovations. Though the battle engine is essentially turn-based, characters don't have to wait their turn to cast a spell or make an attack; battles are moderated by stamina. Also, the repetitive battles with lesser monsters that make so many RPGs sag can be easily avoided because all monsters can be seen on the screen.

Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classic Chrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait. Taking off 20 years after the first game, Chrono Cross follows a boy named Serge across parallel worlds--both the world in which he lives and one in which he drowned 10 years earlier.

Chrono Cross will wow players with beautiful prerendered graphics and a unique battle system. Elements replace magic and items in battle, and using the same element three times in a row will ultimately increase your power. In addition to using elements, the accuracy of physical attacks is determined by probability, with easier-to-land weak attacks setting up fierce blows.

The plot, while a bit slow to develop, is full of interesting characters. Players will need to travel between the two worlds to advance the plot. While many of these areas will initially appear to look similar, you'll find them to be quite different upon closer examination of the details. For instance, a plant that is extinct in one world thrives in the other.

My only qualm with Chrono Cross is that, despite the complexities of the battle system, veterans will have an easy time with early battles. Still, there's much to like about this SquareSoft epic. --Robb Guido

Pros:

  • Lavish, vibrantly colored graphics
  • Unique battle system involving elements and casting away role-playing cliches like experience and magic points
Cons:
  • Easy battles due to powerful offensive and cure elements
  • For hours, players will be saying, "Get to the time travel stuff"

Review

Square's Chrono Trigger got everything right. The self-proclaimed "dream team" of scenarist Yuji Hori (Dragon Quest), producer Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy), and character designer Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Z) created a quirky, enjoyable romp through time with a cast of endearing characters, memorable environments, solid RPG gameplay, and unparalleled presentation. Needless to say, fans of the 16-bit SNES game have clamored for a sequel ever since. Which is why, after nearly five years of silence, the announcement of Chrono Cross drew so much ire. Where was the legendary dream team? (Only Sakaguchi contributed to Chrono Cross.) Where was the cast of characters we had grown to know and love? And who the hell was that Thundercats reject named Yamaneko? Things looked grim for the Chrono Trigger faithful. When Chrono Cross was revealed to have 40 playable characters, many lost faith entirely in the game. Had Square thrown all pretense of a coherent title out the window? But fortunately for series' fans, Chrono Trigger's dream team doesn't have a monopoly on RPG innovation. As with the first SNES title, everything in Chrono Cross clicks in a way most games wish they could imitate. The different parts combine into an instant RPG classic. The story begins with the hero, Serge, thrust into a parallel world where he had died under mysterious circumstances more than a decade earlier. He teams up with a rowdy adventurer, Kid, and sets out in search of the mysterious Frozen Flame, an artifact that lets the holder reshape time and space at will. The enigmatic Yamaneko, a regal man-cat who hunts the Frozen Flame for his own purposes, opposes them. In his quest to return home, Serge will collect both allies and foes and will find himself thrust into an adventure that will reveal his heritage, purpose, and ultimate destiny. Only by crossing between the two dimensions can Serge find the answers to his questions. Without revealing any more of Chrono Cross' excellent storyline, it can be said that it successfully pulls off the difficult balancing act every sequel faces. It's not a rehash of the original Chrono Trigger, nor does it exploit the characters and setting of Chrono Trigger for name recognition alone. Instead, it sets up an equally valid, separate, and well-developed world, then slowly and responsibly weaves in elements, characters, and events from the first title. It doesn't continue the original Chrono Trigger mythos so much as it expands it. You will be stunned by the resolution of the disparate plot threads. And with features like an impossibly taciturn hero, an accommodating attitude toward interdimensional travel, and a New Game+ mode, Chrono Cross manages to maintain the ineffable Chrono Trigger feel. The battle system deviates slightly from the RPG norm. The traditional active time bar has been replaced with a bar of seven stamina points. While the engine is still ostensibly turn based, any character can take a turn at any time as long as he has at least one stamina point remaining. Enemies can even interrupt your characters' attacks. Party members can unleash a weak, medium, or strong attack, requiring respectively one, two, or three stamina points. Even though the game pauses while waiting for input, the ability to start and end a character's turn whenever you please makes for a more frantic, pseudo-real-time experience. Elements - Chrono Cross' magic system - are divided into six colors: black and white, red and blue, and green and yellow. Each character has a color alignment that determines his affinity to certain elements. Once you obtain a spell, you place it in an acceptable empty slot on a character's element grid. For example, a spell with level "5+/-2" is a level-five spell, but it can be placed in any slot from three to seven with the expected drop/rise in effectiveness. Successfully landing a weak, medium, or strong attack adds one, two, or three bars to a character's element grid. A character with sufficient element bars can cast a spell, but the cost is seven stamina points, temporarily dropping him out of action. Combine building element grids and plummeting stamina bars with the dynamic nature of characters' turns, and battles become a constantly shifting endeavor - yet always remain under your total control. Once you understand the intricacies of the battle system, encounters are always over quickly. Two other features of the battle system are dual techs and the color field. As in the original Chrono Trigger, characters can combine their special techniques for combined attacks; while not as prevalent as might be expected, the combos are there to be discovered. The color field keeps track of the color of the last three spells cast. If the field becomes a single color, characters with that color alignment gain a statistical boost. Moreover, a monochromatic field is the only time when one of the game's mighty summons can be unleashed. Manipulating the field so that it becomes a single color is trickier than you might expect, as your opponents' spells (and interference) can't be ignored.--Andrew Vestal--Copyright © 1998 GameSpot Inc.

Chrono Cross - PlayStation

Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classic Chrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait.

While it's officially a sequel to the immensely popular Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross is completely its own role-playing game with over 40 characters, a branching story line, and multiple endings. Like its predecessor, the game is about crossing through time and setting things right. This story focuses on Serge's quest for the Frozen Flame, which will give the beholder the power to bend space and time. Serge wants the power to save himself from dying in a parallel universe but, as you can guess, nefarious forces are also vying for the Frozen Flame to suit their own purposes.

User questions & answers

Question: Is this in English or Japanese only
Answer: Legit reprint.
Question: Is this copy region free
Answer: The PS2 Fat model has an actual PS1 CPU on the board and the GPU has an emulation of the PS1 GPU. So yes. The slim emulates it fully but most games work fine. Component cables do work with it but only if your tv either 1. Supports 240p or 2. You use a line doubler to make it 480p. PS1 memory card required to save the game (Cannot use PS2 memory card) This also works on PS3 as well with a couple of graphical glitches. Nothing Gamebreaking though
Question: Are they both the remastered versions
Answer: Yeah Idk why it would say ps3 haha it is a Playstation 1 game. I've used it multiple times in mine.
Question: Is this a physical copy
Answer: The one I recived was a Greatest Hits. Which I have no problem with. The game content is exactly the same and GH versions tend to be more rare. I dont buy games to look at the case. This is a fantastic update to the original Final Fantasy and should be in everyone's PS1 collection regardless of lable
