It's OT, but I can't make threads yet and wanted to get an opinion:

I looked through the PS1-Classics on the US-PSN and found quite a few I'm interested in: Wild Arms 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden and Xenogears (when it get's released today).

Then I stumbled over Arc the Lad I-III and I don't know much about it (heard the name before, but not much else) - those games have pretty good ratings on PSN and I watched a few gameplay videos which looked intriguing - so I wanted to get your opinion on this series, is it any good?

Thankyou Square Enix for shafting us in Europe again!!

Since XENOGEARS was never released in Europe on PS1 it will never be on the EU PSN.

Hence why we were shafted again - since they made no attempt to release it the first time round and now they've made no effort to try and rectify that issue by rereleasing Xenogears over the EU PSN.

I hope they plan a remake of this, tbh... And fix all the things that was wrong on disc 2. I was severely underwhelmed with most of its content when I played it... Disc 1 was amazing though...

I'll give them few weeks for european PSN release and if it doesn't come i'll have to look for that $20 gift card.

It was never released in the EU on PS1 so it is never going to. if it did then it would be a new first time release and not a PS1 classic just buy from US.

Xenogears' story is 1000% better than Evangelion's, although heavily influenced by it.

Anyway, the "story" in disc 2 doesn't get bad, it's get better, what changes is the "pacing" of the story, or the "presentation" of it.

The way disc 2 ended that way is because Square ran out of budget for FF8, so they cutted of budget from Xenogears' development.

Fuck FF8 -__-

Subjective much.

and if Square had not cut the budget XENOGEARS qould have been a 4 Disc release not 2. but they put the money into what they new would sell better.

That means there's no legal problm of any kind to release it now.

There is no PAL Version and SE are not going to make a PS1 PAL Version of a game that was released in 1998.
