oh I know that, but they did port the DS ports which were kind of shit, so they might as well port an amazing game ;).

heck they just released an HD port of FFX, shouldn't that also be on steam?
I dont think the DS port was shit. More of a preference thing. I agree the PSP port looks better.

Is The After Years worth playing? I have the PSP collection and I'm not sure if I should play the whole thing or just play FFIV and stop.

I know but I tend to run out of magic because of all these battles before I get where i'm going when I'm trying to explore in places like the earth cavern and have to run out and use a tent or cottage or something :lol:

Ah, I forget your party has a white mage and a black mage. Definitely less physical-oriented than my party was. Magic was never really an issue for me.

Yeah I went for the default party :lol: would help if i knew what some of these monsters were weak against ha ha. I usually tend to run out of the black magic though :?

I don't understand why they haven't ported FF IX to complete the PS1 trilogy, and why in general more retro console games don't get released on Steam/GoG. Sega released many Mega Drive games and a few Dreamcast ones.....at decent prices....compared to the Virtual Console...
Yet now they don't want to put them on the Wii U.

Still a lot I need to get. Prince of Persia and the ICO/SoTC sets come to mind.

Still have to burn through Jak and the Sly collections. And Kingdom Hearts.

Probably more I'm forgetting haha.

@darsparx - You know you can find out weaknesses in the bestiary once you kill one, right?
