I've missed quite a lot of great games on the PS2, maybe that's why I'm getting Odin Sphere right now.

There's definitely still a good number of PSone games I'd like to see:

Legend of Dragoon
Brave Fencer Musashi
Ehrgeiz
SaGa Frontier
SaGa Frontier 2
Chocobo Dungeon 2
Tales of Destiny
Suikoden 2

Probably more I can't remember at the moment. There's a ton of PS2 games I'd like to see too.

The JP PSN Store has almost all PS1 software, it's almost too incredible to believe.

I played some of SaGa Frontier 1 around 10 years ago and it was a very strange game. It had some very random difficulty spikes and it was also very hard to tell where you're supposed to go. Even with it's flaws, it was a fun game and I'd like to get the chance to play it again~ :)

I hear SaGa Frontier 2 was a much better game than the first, so I'd love to see it added to PSN.

That's because the JP PSN admins are smarter. Or they just like the Japanese PS1 owners more than the Western PSN admins like the Western PS1 owners.

Or getting hold of licenses is much easier there.
That's usually the primary barrier to them getting released.

I actually agree with Ring. Getting a license for a 10-years old game might not be that easy to begin with.

Companies get dissolved, merged and absorbed, and that makes tracking down who owns what a nightmare sometimes.

I think it's somewhat surprising to see Victor Ireland getting his old PS1 games to be released on the PSN, both dealing with license and his old companies' translation.

Good God, please. I'm still ticked that Japan has this and we don't.

I'm also ticked that Europe has Gex 2 and we don't. That was my favorite of the trilogy.
Waiting on the other mk2 avatars.

^Japan has all the games I listed there on PSN, as far I remember. :P

There's still a decent chance for the Square games to be released and probably Legend of Dragoon.

I'm not holding out hope for Suikoden 2 and Tales of Destiny though.
