What should I get on PSN

[Ando85]

I just purchased Threads of Fate off PSN and now I have 16 dollars left. What other PS1 classics would you recommend? I like JRPGs and platformers.

I already have either on PSN or physical game -
Threads of Fate
Crash Bandicoot
Legacy of Kain Blood Omen
Alundra
Wild Arms
Wild Arms 2
Suikoden
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 7,8,9, Tactics
Resident Evil 1,2,3
Dino Crisis
Silent Hill
Vagrant Story
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Parasite Eve
Grandia
Front Mission 3

I would go for the spyro games, I just got spyro 2 and I am loving it, not sure on the first and third though, because it has been at least 12 years since I played those, one thing I would like to know though, is what you think of xenogears and suikoden, I was thinking of getting those myself, so whats your views on those?

You might want to keep the 16 dollars so you can purchase Resident Evil 4 when it re-releases in HD.

Thanks, I was considering the Spyros.

As for Xenogears and Suikoden. Xenogears is my favorite game of all time. If you are anyway remotely interested in JRPGs I'd recommend getting it. It is also about 60 hours long. At 10 bucks it is a steal. Suikoden is very good as well. I've finished Suikoden 1,2,3,and 5. 2 and 5 are my favorite I think but the original is well worth playing. I'd highly recommend it as well.

If you liked the Final Fantasy games then I'd suggest VI. Haven't actually played it though lol. But, from what I hear of everyones favourites it seems as though VI and IX get the most love and least hate. Final Fantasy VI and V were only recently uploaded to the PSN. In Europe anyway.

Yeah I got VI original cartridge for SNES and got the GBA version of FFV. Don't think those are available on PSN in NA. Thanks for suggestion, great games.

I'd recommend Parasite Eve great action/rpg, and either Castlevania Symphony of the Night or Beyond Good and Evil HD though it's not a PS1 Classic it should be up on the PSN Tuesday.

I would recommend looking up the games and seeing if any have been updated, such re-releases tend to include extra content, updated graphics, and being on a portable console is common. (though you can play PS1 classics from the PSN on a PSP).

The remakes I know about are Wild Arms = Wild Arms: Alter Code F (PS2), and Final Fantasy Tactics = Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (PSP)

If you don't care about re-releases and extra content then go ahead and get any of the games you listed, I haven't played any of them and cannot offer any further advice.

I, too have the original SNES cartridge. I didn't find out until about two years ago that that game ISN'T called Final Fantasy III...

but anyway, I'd recommend Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. It's not a JRPG, but it's fun and quirky nontheless. I'm pretty sure it's 9.99 on PSN.

Forgot to mention I have all of those as I knew I was forgetting a few. I still have yet to playthru Beyond Good and Evil HD, which I got on the 360. I never played the original and heard great things about it.

Front Mission 3

Grandia

Hysteria Project (It's one of the few if not the only modern FMV horror game, for 2 bucks)

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

That's all I got.

Also forgot to mention at first that I own FM3 and Grandia (knew I was forgetting a few). Two of my favorite games from the PS1 era. I did both scenarios on Front Mission 3 for a grand total of 72 hours and loved every minute of it. But, now I'm wondering if Front Mission 4 on PS2 is worth it as I've heard a lot of negative things about it.

I will check out Hysteria Project, at 2 bucks I'll still be able to afford 2 more 6 dollar PS1 titles.

Crash Bandicoot 3 has me interested as well. Been debating getting 2 and 3 so I will have the original trilogy.

I actually have yet to beat the original Wild Arms despite having all 5 of them with the exception of Alter Code F and the PSP title, XF I believe? I might as well just play the original. I also got FFT WotL as I love FFT. I'll probably play that one pretty soon. Maybe later on I'll track down Alter Code F.

If you like platformers, a few of the older Tomb Raider games are on there.

 

[the spud]

Not a JRPG, but the secret of monkey island 1 and 2 remakes are very good, and only 15 dollars in total for both.

This is coming from somebody who has never played them as a child.

if you like games like Chess get this

its Chess with Guns

Resident Evil 3

Do you realize how high you just got my hopes up only for them to be dashed very quickly?

If you can get this game off PSN, get it! It's the last good Resident evil game (that I know of. I haven't played them all).
