Hmmm… and wow, this is a pretty spectacular collection. I’d say this HAS to come out here in one form or another, so what about it, Square Enix? While I’m not the biggest FF fan these days, I’d actually be interested in this just for the historical value. OK, that and the chance to play the redone FF I-VI on the original PlayStation. I’m still more fond of the first nine games over much of what’s come afterwards, but there’s no denying the huge impact the franchise has had on the JRPG scene over time. Again, it’s all about RESPECT and for the most part, Square Enix absolutely deserves it for keeping this flame alive for a quarter century (and still going strong). Feel free to check out that link below if you want to see this in all its bright white packaged glory before whining that you don’t speak and read Japanese and how unfair the world all is or whatever.
You have been warned – this thing is REALLY amazing.

"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!" 
The Japanese always get the good stuff! I’m right there with you feeling that pain…
I would love an English version of this collection.

I’d LOVE this as well, but not all the early FF games released in the US for the original PlayStation, so there may be problems on that front. We did get PSP ports eventually, but I’d imagine Square Enix wouldn’t stuff UMDs in that big box set. I’d bet if it were to come here, it would be download vouchers for the early games and not a PS One disc in sight, as backwards compatibility isn’t an option offered in current PS3 models.
Of course, I have a PS, PS2 and PS3, so I could play all of those games. Well, except FF XII and XIV, as I’m not a MMO fan these days.
