Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth gets reprint, only $30 [Update]

This is why you won't see any PS1 Final Fantasy games on the PSN. Square Enix knows they can sell it you eventually on UMD for 30 dollars. Knowing them they'll sell it to you for 39.99 a la FF1 & FF2. Greedy jerks. You all have MY permission to use CFW to play it on your PSP.

Hmm, ill think about it... I almost picked up the second game a week or so ago.

I'm not going to criticize Sony for this particular game. Considering the original is all but cheap in the USA, I'm happy that we can still get our hands on it for retail price, albeit in port form.

Shucks. I bought it two weeks ago for a higher price. :(

This was one of the first UMDs I ever got. Great RPG! The voice acting kinda sucks but the rest is top-notch stuff.

A port or remake of Xenogears is my life-long dream, tho.

First Capcom now SE ... companys are starting to reprint many old PSP games ... this is a good sign ( I hope :? ) .

Man, I almost wish I hadn't given up on finding a new copy and picked it up used. I would gladly have handed over $30 to support this reprint.

It's truly mind-boggling that the PSP versions of already-remade-a-thousand-times Final Fantasy 1 and 2 are readily available, yet S-E has to be courted into reprinting VP:L by GQD. Is there no justice, or is there no justice?

I actually already own this here UMD. I think its an improvement over the original in a nice 16:9 presentation. It also makes a pretty decent portable RPG.

lol isn't this already out?

Get your story straight. Squenix has no exclusivity with GQD.

CAG has already corrected their article on it.

As far as I know, VPL has never been *unavailable* from Square-Enix directly. I bought the game from them seven months ago for $39.99 without issue, and everyone I've told to get it that way since has had no difficulty, either.

The new price and universal availability is a good thing. It will stop the vultures from hoodwinking impulse buyers who don't do sufficient research. And anti-PSN arguments are a side-issue for RPG fans who simply want to play the game. Yes, UMD games are on their way out. Yes, every Sony-specific format runs the risk of being outdated. Yes, future PSP iterations are likely to focus on internal storage and/or flash media due of speed and convenience. But that doesn't help members of the current user base who have been looking for copies of this game.
