Fantasy Trigger

You know I was one of the many who was overjoyed to have read the confirmation that both Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI were coming to PSN immediately. As a fan of those old school masterpieces, sure I have them on various other consoles/devices already. But you know what? I enjoyed them so much that I actually don't mind putting down money to get them again. Why? These games came from a time where RPGs were more about the story and character over the graphics.

I always wondered how long of a game could a developer make if graphics were in Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy VI style?

Anyway, it was very disappointing to find out that there was an error and neither of the games were actually released. What was funny about the situation was that even the official PS blog reported the games' imminent release as truth, only to have to retract that statement after the fact. What's worse is that wasn't even the only error in that blog. Kill the messenger? Well if the messenger got the message wrong, maybe... just maybe...

Seriously, if the official blog itself cannot even get it's news correctly and if they don't know the difference from truth or fiction, who can you really believe here?
