Great, not that I care for any of those games, but it's good to see the PS Classics beef up finally.

They need more PS Classics man. Where the freak is Metal Gear Solid?

Maybe they didn't put Final Fantasy VII on there because they are remaking it. :o

Here's hoping for Vagrant Story... :)

And the possibility of playing Xenogears on my PSP... that would be awesome.

If they release the FF titles, then it would be amazing although I would not buy them since I have hard copies.

But for the titles like Xenogears and Chrono Cross and Vagrant Story, Square titles I missed out on back in the day, I can't wait. Speaking of which I should check out the PSN store to see if there is anything worth buying...

I bet you they come to everywhere but Europe... :roll:

Seriously though, i would love it if they released those games!

EDIT: I hope they release Chrono trigger and Chrono cross, seeing as they weren't released in Europe.

Yet they prefer remaking every damn SNES & NES instead of putting them on the virtual console.

I think that if they are remaking it, we'll hear about it this year at E3, TGS or the SE event. We the gaming community will only hear that its coming while attendees will see behind closed doors how it looks.

Yeah Xenogears was just added yesterday. I found it rather amazing, and I hope that we DO get them, unlike RE 1, RE 2 and DC that are still Japan-exclusive
