At the very least, I hope that PS1 Classics come back with PS5.
Its 2020 and Square Enix still have not remastered their PSP titles to modern consoles/PC

Cool for ps5 users yeah.
I didn't see reasons to get the 4 so unless things change I don't see myself pick 5 either.
I'll just replay games on ps1 and 2 or maybe pc.
(I edited the post you quoted btw, sorry)
Forget about those, what about FF I to FF VI? Those are the only mainline FF games that haven't been ported to PS4, Xbox One & Switch yet.
And Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins.

PSP on PS5 would be great too with new filters. BC everything will make people go nuts.
i still play PSP on original hardware, sometimes hooked up to a crt. Looks damn good. Used PSPs are still cheap.
FFIV DS sucked, though. Bad framerate, insanely slow battles (yes, I had it at the highest speed. No I didn't put it to the slowest speed on accident), annoying difficulty, atrocious augment system, unpleasant visuals.
I said what I said.
I agree with what you said about CC and SO2 though.
More Tactics game from square would be great, but i dont think it will happen.
The PSP catalogue doesnt fit squares desires of Big Boy console games, so its probably gonna be left in the dust.
on a side note, is "Its 2020 and (premise of thread)" the new "Is it only me (premise of thread)" ?

Irrelevant. Remasters and ports don't require source code to be successful. Bluepoint doesn't use source code for their remasters and HD Collections.
3rd Birthday can go rot in a landfill, but will take Final Fantasy Tactic: The War of the Lion and Tactics Orge: Let Us Cling Together instead.
Well, we've seen FF Type-0 and Birth by Sleep ported to modern consoles. Type-0 was more of a remaster and BBS was a straightforward pord. Dissidia, Crisis Core, and the Parasite Eve (Sorry, I mean 3rd Birthday) still haven't seen an outside release. Crisis Core was a great game, and Duodecim was great, too. Honestly, they all deserve ports.
It's just a matter of time for many of these (and other, non-PSP SQEX games). They've stated their intent/want to make their entire back catalog (or as much of it as possible) available on modern platforms and have gone through the most obvious choices at this point (PS1 & PS2 FFs, KH, Dragon Quest) and they basically HAVE to move on to spin-offs and other franchises from now on (like they've already started doing with Last Remnant, Star Ocean 1 and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth Mobile), especially since they've released so much of their legacy titles on PC and future console's have backward compatibility, so just re-releasing FFVII for new consoles isn't an option. Though the likes of Crisis Core might take awhile while SQEX tries to figure out how to release it with or without Gackt.
I think they are probably just trying to figure out the details of how they want to bring back each individual game. Straight ports (i.e. Chrono Trigger)? A remaster with some improvements/changes beyond the usual framerate/resolution/anti-aliasing improvements (PS1 & PS2 FFs, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5)? A graphical overhaul (Secret of Mana)? A bigger remake (Trials of Mana)? An insane remake (FFVIIR)?

They could use a lot of Dissidia NT assets to remaster Dissidia 012.
Crisis Core will probably be back in some form in FF7 Remake (or a DLC), but not as is.
3rd Birthday was fun but built around the limitations of the PSP. It would need a proper remake.
Tactics Ogre could be ported as is, would be great.
FFT needs fixing for that awful framerate during spells.
The last 2 are the most probable for ports.

It's less of a matter of "can't" and more of a matter of some considerations going into everything they release and just when they get around to releasing different games. They don't just want to throw everything to (digital) stores at once but space out releases by some logic or the other. And for some IPs they might be considering the manner of how to bring them to modern platforms. Just quick cash grab ports? HD remasters? Remakes (graphical or entire)? Collections or singular releases? Physical or digital only? Is there maybe some anniversary coming up that they could leverage for PR/marketing in the upcoming years?
They've already started to dabble into lesser releases. Mana Collection last year and Trials of Mana this year. Last Remnant port last year. Romancing Saga 2, 3 and Scarlet. Star Ocean 1. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon. Valkyrie Profile 1's mobile release. TWEWY Final Remix. Slowly but surely, they are working through releasing older games.
Uhh that lost source code excuse...just like for every other game that was Re-released last few years
Dissidia and crisis core are locked in squareenix's own Disney like vault
Third birthday is definitely much worse, but I found pretty much every moment of Crisis Core to be unbearably awful as well. You are right that Third Birthday is undeniably more terrible, but I don't think that absolves Crisis Core of also being a bad game.
I think they could have Remastered Crisis Core the same as Type-0 before releasing the FFVIIR if weren't of some fishy license problems of you know who....
