Do you think the success of FF7 on PSN has signaled for 8/9? (and will you buy?)

After selling about 100,000 downloads and getting the # 1/2 spot (i forget) of most downloads, and considering that SE is probably making somewhere from $5-8 per download, do you think this means we will be getting FF8 and 9?

also, WILL you get them?

for 8, i am pretty hesitant. After having watched the Spoony One rip on it for 9 videos (look it up on youtube or his site) it looks like it might actually be worse than final fantasy 2 (japanese numbering)

however, 9 looks like an awesome game and i will totally get it if it comes, i always liked the more classical, less futuristicfinal fantasies (and for raving fanboys, that problem in FF did not stem from 7, it came from 6)

I hope 8 and 9 come out. I'd much rather play those two than 7. I'd definitely buy 8 and 9 if they eventually come out.

seeing how the ESRB has already rated FFT for a PSN rerelease, I'm sure they could be part of their "50 PSOne games by the Holidays".

Not gonna lie, I beat 1-8, but 9 couldn't hold my interest back when it came out......Chrono Cross was just too much better at the time. Why they were released like a month apart, I do not know. Also, what was up with that fugly outworld in 9? The visuals in that area of the game were inferior to 7 & 8!! I'd give it another chance though, seeing as I only made it past disc 1

If they do end up on the store, I won't be downloading them. I thought FFVII was a total snooze fest. The 3D FFs lack the charm of the 2D ones IMO.

Considering that I just played final fantasy vii due to this PSN release, I would totally buy 8 and 9, as well as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 if they ever come out on the psn... I've been missing out on those incredible games...

..I still dislike the materia system tho'

I would get both 8 and 9. FFVIII for me right always freezes during the ending scene. Triple Triad is also very addicting for me. The cards in 9 tried to go along with Triple Triad but failed miserably. Zidane is a classic character though.;)

I'd download origins, I have the PSP remakes, which I feel use the exact type of graphics that 1-6 should all utilize, but it'd be nice to have it as a throwback to 2003. (and I still have all of my original PSone games) :)

i'd get 9. i forced myself to finish 8, and don't really wanna play it again, and i played the first 15 mins of 9 and thought it was pretty cool.

I still have the originals for the PSX, and I've beaten all of the Final Fantasy games thus far but I would still buy off Final Fantasy 8 and 9 (already bought 7) off of the PSN so that I could play them again on my PSP.

I would buy them just because they are classic rpgs. Hopefully they would also remake FF3 from SNES since it was rereleased on PS1 in Anthology I think. Oldschool games are so much fun:)

i agree, a psp remake of FF6 with great 2-D graphics would be a must-buy (if it had the advance bonus dungeon and espers)

VIII, yes.

IX, no.

I have both VII and IX. VIII is the only one I haven't played.

I bought 7, but i wish i hadn't. It's way too simple and easy for my taste. I always liked 8 more anyway. if they released it I might buy it but not right away.

well, the hype is because of how much it changed and defined RPGs after it, including FF8

8 was not bad, it just was a little too complicated even for hardcore RPG fans. It is very tasking. You could miss almost everything in the game. The way you level up takes forever. Knowing which magic to set to which attribute was a bit annoying. I always found that the system of junctioning magic stopped me from using it on enemies because I didn't want my stats to go down.

Hmmmm, so instead of actually earning items and weapons and stuff instead I would get a trophy sound to listen to?
