expensive hole in my final fantasy collection, should I bother?

Don't forget that there is the original Square releases and the Sunsoft re-releases of each of the 4 titles. I'm sure the Sunsoft versions are cheaper, though I did sell my CIB Square version of FFLII for 8.50...

Good point, I was just about to bring that up myself. I hate the way the Sunsoft re-issues look, go for the originals if you can.

If I were to be collecting every US FF release. I would include everything that has Final Fantasy on the box. Don't forget about Crisis Core when that gets released on PSP.

Do you FF collectors also collect the Game Cube versions and PSP versions? Do they count as official releases even though they're (in the PSP's case) ports? Are those essential to have too?

The only ones I've really felt have been redundant ports, have been the PC versions of Final Fantasy VII and VIII, as well as the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Final Fantasy XI. They're all fun to play, but I don't feel the need to own those versions as well as their original PS counterparts.

All the other "ports" to PS1, PSP, DS etc have all had plenty of original content to warrant being collected alongside the original version. New opening FMVs, redone graphics or music, etc.

all IMO of couse.
