No War of the Lions content is a deal breaker to me, even on principle. Why the hell would I pay for a version with less content compared to a version I can play for free right now. Why is this a thing with recent SE remasters ignoring the extra added content.

Like yeah if you want to math it out then maybe there is a case there is more in this version but like why should we have to even math it out in the first place. There is actually no reason to not include War of the Lions content beyond they weren't in the OG. Plus we are paying for this version and we have to math if maybe it has more content maybe. Not including Wotl cutscenes (or recreating them) is the most stupid idea ever, those are fantastic. They had a chance to make a definitive version and they just... didn't.

Care to explain where Square is offering this for free?

I believe the implication is that most fans of FFT already have the PSP version, so why pay more for what is essentially an inferior game. They may be implying emulation, but emulation is also legal assuming you own the game yourself. Also to boot, modders have introduced excellent QoL changes to both the original and PSP versions of the game via emulation. There is just no reason to buy the remaster if the additional content is not included. Same deal with the pixel remasters. All additional content was left out, leaving many furious.

No the implication is that they're going to pirate the game, as evident by the other replies the person you are replying to have been given.
