Then I dug around a little more only to find the PSP homebrew "community" is just a bunch of code-theiving, bickering asshats. If Square Enix made a port of 7 to the PSP, or (even better) Sony made an official emulator not unlike Virtual Console, then I'd snap one up without hesitation. I think the homebrew project has already proven that the PSP has enough power. I think any sort of FF7 remake will be for the PS3 though. We'll probably hear after 13 comes out - I don't think they'd be too keen on taking the spotlight away from it.

Battle system was pretty fun, though I have yet to battle in a split party scenario (too much work lol). The puzzles are a nice addition aside from the fighting. Freya ftw!

X is not possible on PSP simply due to the capacity (9gb DVD vs 1.8gb UMD). They've basically said that an FF7 remake is on the cards, it's just that all the major Squenix teams are tied up with FF13 games so it's a manpower issue rather than a desire issue.

I would love to play FF7 on my PSP and or slightly less graphical versions of 8 and X.

Along with Chrono Trigger. :) I loved X, I just got stuck on one of the bosses then lost my disc after loaning it out. And by the time I got around to forking out another $20 for another bloody second hand copy at EB, I'd forgotten where I was up to. I'll finish it one day. :P 6, 7 and X are near the top of my list.

To be honest, a lot of FF7's appeal is nostalgia and the fact that it was such a massive leap, technology-wise. No one had seen a game like that before. FF6 is actually probably on par with FFX now that I think about it carefully. And Chrono Trigger was far better than all of them. :P EDIT: FF12 has the best FF character ever, incidentally. Balthier is even more awesome than Auron. No, it’s just that the gap between our ages is significant enough that I played FF7 when I was the age you played FFX.
