Oh my
I think the last two games I'd ever be caught playing on the go on my commute every day would be Vagrant Story or Xenogears. What a bore. But I'm glad to see these are finally coming; I know many of you have been waiting quite some time. I'll probably end up buying both just to play at home a couple times each and relive a little nostalgia before the pain kicks in.

Just get a US account and buy the US versions (they're better than the PAL versions anyway, since they run at 60hz as opposed to 50hz only)
That's what I did and I only buy the US NTSC versions from the PSN. Though you will have to buy PSN cards online (your Credit/Debit card will almost certainly not work), it's well worth the hassle!
Parasite Eve 1 & 2 and Chrono Cross will probably make up the next batch of Square Enix games.
BTW, the timing of this ESRB rating is rather interesting. Square Enix are releasing FF5 next month on VC (while FF6 is bound to follow in Febuary, going by the previous pattern of FF VC releases) and have started releasing more Taito games on VC (Darius Twin just came out, with Lufia 1 & 2 following soon after).
Seems like S-E are doing all of their digital releases at around the same time for everyone...

The hassle of swapping PSN accounts on my PSP just annoys me
Having to be by a Wi-Fi connection to login is just a pain.

Where do you buy your cards, out of interest?

I either get them from eBay or from hdmoviesource.com (depending on whether or not they have them in stock or not)
I would get them from Videogameplus.ca (which BTW is the best import game site out there for us EU folks!) but they only do Canadian PSN cards

Sadly, PSN will forever be shit until Tomba 1 & 2 appear on it. Hear that Sony!

That's rather neat.

Cheers. I'll look into all of these. I would be happy enough to buy mine on PAL PSN, but PAL PSone games won't work on my PS3 so I kind of have to look further afield.
edit - it appears hdmoviesource emails codes too? they have kind of finicky policies about new customers though, i would guess designed to 'force' you to buy more from them before you can get a reliable supply of these.
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.
I guess I need another $20.00 card.
I'll buy Xenogears and Threads of Fate/Legend of Mana.
What's better, ToF or Legend of Mana?
The next SE batch would probably be Chrono Cross, Brave Fencer Musashi, and the Parasite Eve series.
That's what you Europeans get for having FM3 and Vagrant Story first.

I don't think the company that made them can request them to go up seeing as they are dead and all. >:grandjedi6 said:
Going to grab Threads of Fate unsure of the rest of the batch since I'll need to read up on them more.

That would be Whoopee Camp. They're all spread out in various companies now. Many of them are at Access Games (Deadly Premonition) while Tokuro Fujiwara (the director of Tomba) is at Platinum Games.
