Yuichi said it's Sony who is in charge of testing and preparing it for PSN. Also that Sony is working on the PSX original copies :S
2 takes place 3 years after 1 and references some of the events of the first game. It also has overlapping characters and a save import feature. I would recommend playing the first since it is much shorter and a good game.

Are these straight ports or have they made them into Vita games (trophy, OS support, etc)?

I hope this will be playable on Playstation TV. I no longer have a PS3,but I want this so bad.
Suikoden II is one of the best JRPGs. All-time Top 5 JRPG for me 
First one was great, too.
I loved the intense political drama and touching, personal stories of the characters. Some of the scenes were heartwrenchingly sad, especially those showing the villain's gruel war crimes. Extremely emotional stuff for my young self back in the days.

Got it, thanks.
What?? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thanks so much for all you did to make this happen, Yuichi! And everyone at Konami/Sony helping to bring this about.
I discovered the Suikoden series quite late, at the very end of the PS2 generation. It's with very little nostalgia that I say, this is the greatest game series of all time!

Thanks for your continued support and patience.
I hope this is the first step of many to get Suikoden back on track.
The ball is in the fans court now.. vote for your wallets.
For less than 20 dollars you can get Suikoden 1 and 2 in less than 24 hours!
So awesome thanks so much for bringing these games to PS1 classics. Both games are amazing, especially Suikoden 2 which is like one of my favorite JRPG of all time. Any plans to bring Suikoden 3 over as well? Sgt. Joe and Geddoh were cool haha

Any bugs in the original version will be present in this release as well.

I hope so too. I'd love to see new Suikoden games that use II's art style.
Imagine a Suikoden II style game on Vita...
I wish I could see the look on people's faces when they recruit that singer girl and have to sit through two minutes of dead silence.

Why? What's it comparable to? I don't know anything about it

Which one is better? If I were to only get one, which is it?
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
II is the best, but seriously, you should get both. If you play II and go back to I, you might feel a tad disappointed because II heavily improves upon I.
Go ahead and play both. I is good (although not as good). II brings me to tears every time I play it. The character writing is just superb.
I'm playing it on my Vita right now and have been since I got it last year.
You have to download it to your ps3, then take the file and transfer it to Vita.

Suikoden 1 is currently PS3 transfer only. They should fix that tomorrow.
Personally I'm going to be ready in case the floodgates get released sgain ( I.e. Any and everything psp gets activated for vita download). I really need Valkyria chronicles 2 DLC on vita). We never did figure out what happened, but whenever we get these "used to not work and now they do" situations I get my hopes up

I'll just wait till tomorrow and hopefully just be able to download it straight to the Vita.
The music, the characters (so many characters), the writing, the political intrigue and (fairly) grounded story, the art, the locations, dat castle...
If anyone is on the fence about Suikoden I, and also into internet-stalking famous game designers, Warren Spector, the creator of Deus Ex, says Suikoden was one of his biggest influences in making Deus Ex and one of his favorite games of all time.
The Interview is here, might be some spoilers though: Link. He talks about Suikoden toward the end of the video.
He also says he likes it more than Suikoden II, so opinion invalidated I guess, haha.

Glad I kept mine. I used it only once, when I bought my PS3 years ago and transferred all of my original PS1 save files onto the console. I figured it would end up as a niche accessory. It's pretty sweet that I can try to beat my original Ridge Racer record times nearly 20 years later. That's fantastic legacy support.

Yo thanks for releasing the game. I have suikoden already for the VITA, been waiting for II to release in order to play it so I'm glad for the wait to be over.
It's retro basically they are just adding it to the vita store.
Perfect! Thanks!

It's like every game with a large recruitable party (Chrono Cross), base building (Breath of Fire 2), and large scale tactical battles and one on one duels (SaGa Frontier 2), only done right, the way you imagined it would be, before discovering that those were just gimmicks that didn't work well in those games.
The first game is a retelling of The Water Margin / Outlaws of the Marsh, and features many scenes from the book adapted to a more traditional fantasy setting. Part 2 and beyond have weaker ties to the novel, but 2 still has a bit of a Chinese flair to many of the settings and character designs.
The story focuses on both politics and character drama, as opposed to saving the world.
You aren't biased, it is a great fucking deal!

Is the battle system random encounter?
