It seems strange that it took so long for this to happen, but two of the SNES's best have arrived on Sony's online service. Who knows where they will show up next.

Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger hit the PSN this week.
Might as well do this now just so the staff can make a news update on it. XD

And I'll ask the obligatory question: How bad will the load times be?

You know, I didn't think the loading was that bad for FF6. Never really played much CT on the PSX on account for it not being that great when I played it on SNES...

If I remember correctly, the load times for FF6 weren't that bad at all. Chrono Trigger, I can't remember. Also, I completely forgot that I could do that. I'll need to start doing that from now on.Originally Posted by Shaymin
There was like a 1 second pause every time you went into battle in CT I remember.

The load times shouldn't be too bad, considering this time they won't be reading ROM data on the fly from a disk. Assuming they're not emulating the disk, which in turn was emulating the ROM.

If it's a PSOne Classic, than that's exactly what's happening. Recursive Emulation!

Yo dawg, we heard you like emulation, etc etc...

I forget when it launched but I saw Breath of Fire IV on there as a PS1 classic as well(I think it was a few weeks ago)

My VAPS Entry,
FFVI PSX wasn't terrible for load times. CT PSX was pretty bad. You're probably better off getting CT on the Wii Virtual Console or the DS version. Assuming you have access to either a DS or a Wii.
So long & thanks for all the fish!
FFVI's load times weren't awful, but there's a noticeable delay opening the menu, making normally quick actions like healing your party feel quite slow.

That was basically an issue with all the FF games Square had Tose remaster for the PSX. The GBA versions were a lot better

FFVI also had a noticeable delay on the playing of sound effects in battles. Plus the sound emulation in general was surprisingly bad.
But if you've got no other way to play the game legally, it's not that bad. You could do worse. I personally felt of the various ports, the GBA was heads and shoulders better, but it's out of print. And of course, the GBA had its own sound emulation oddities. I really want an updated re-release on a current platform with the GBA script and a properly remastered soundtrack.

I heard SE plans to do that after they remake FF5 for 3DS (whenever that is).
They will show up in anime form. What? A gamer can dream~
An enhanced psp port of FF VI along the lines of I, II, and IV a gamer can dream.

A lie would be considered the truth if only more people believed it.
I'd still like an official telling of the period in between Trigger and Cross. I do not accept the "everybody dies" angle. Also, a remake of Cross without 95% of the characters would be greatly appreciated :P
An apology for Cross would be sufficient for me.

I don't know if any sequel (or prequel) could do the game justice. Or even having it on another platform, for that matter.
For saying it was a direct sequel to Trigger, yes. For giving us all it had if the references to the previous game had not been made, I THINK NOT. As a standalone game, it was impressive. For a sequel however, it was horrid.
