And why should they be? People are still willing to purchase old Final Fantasy games for $30 on the GBA, and Square Enix is hoping they’ll pay $40 on the PSP.

“We feel that the Japanese game market still requires [physical] media. Also, FF and Dragon Quest are played by a wide range of users, from children to adults, so there are limitations when you consider the problems that we would have with billing systems.”
