It's the party that every Final Fantasy nerd (myself included) wants to go to: the Square Enix Party, happening later in May. With the exception of one mystery "never before seen" Final Fantasy game, Square has announced their list of games available on the showfloor:Playable
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion's War
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Video-Only
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II
Does anyone else find it strange that, although Crisis Core is playable, two ports of NES games are not? Will these titles not be optimized enough by then? Regardless, getting play time with the PSP prequel to Final Fantasy VII seems like PSP Fanboy's dream come true. Anyone want to give me a plane ticket?

I think it is prioritizing their exposure - *everyone* knows FF 1 & 2, and seeing the visuals will be the best impression possible ... a single load time will immediately invite derision.
But FF VII: CC is another story - without that game looming, the horizon for the PSP would look much bleaker, IMO. So keeping the buzz going is critical, and the game has been delayed so much that they need to show something playable.

Well, if FF1/FF2 are being redone like FF3 for the DS, then it's not really a port when you have to change almost everything except the gameplay and story.
