Final Fantasy Tactics confirmed as joining Greatest Hits

[06.12.01] » Fans thrilled, eBay sellers less thrilled.

   The GIA confirmed today that hard-to-find classic Final Fantasy Tactics would be joining Sony's budget-priced Greatest Hits line this July. Final Fantasy Tactics was published in the U.S. before the advent of Square Electronic Arts, and Sony Computer Entertainment America maintains the U.S. publication rights. Therefore, SCEA will be publishing the game as a first-party title.

   Copies of Final Fantasy Tactics have been known to go for well over $100 on eBay; fortunately, Sony's Greatest Hits line carry a suggested MSRP of $24.99 and are regularly available for $19.99 or less. This low, low price is karmically offset by a god-awful green bar printed directly on the instruction manual. Nevertheless, Square and Sony should be commended for reissuing this strongly demanded product. This is the way!
