Expect #SEM_DL to become a trending topic in Japan. Why? Square Enix is asking Japanese fans to submit their top three most wanted PSone classics on Twitter using the aforementioned hashtag. While Japan has a larger selection of classic titles on PSN already, there are some notable omissions. Fans (like the one above) have pointed out Chrono Cross, Dragon Quest VII, and Legend of Mana as some of their most desired games.
We're certain fans in America and Europe would love to take part in a survey like this. Until Square Enix decides to gauge our interest, why not submit your ideas to our comments section?

Jesus Christ just bring Brave Fencer Musashi over already. Japan has had it now since July of 2008. That and Vagrant Story which has been in EU stores since Dec of 2009.

i don't even have time to finish the current games i have. it's great and all but i think people would have really appreciated this push during the drought of games in the beginning of the consoles lifespan.

I'm happy that Square sees fit to poll the Japanese gaming public, but whatever gets released over there because of this will either never come to America or will months/years from now.

XENOGEARS. XENOGEARS, XENOGEARS, XENOGEARS.
Once we've covered that, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy IX, Dragon Quest VII, and Chrono Cross would all be quite nice as well.

Indeed. I have all three Xenosaga games, but I'd love to get Xenogears as well.

Chrono Cross, FF Anthology and Chronicles maybe, can they do that? Valkyrie Profile, Parasite Eve, Einhander, I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. Some I haven't played that I'd like to see are Vagrant Story, DQVII, and Front Mission 3 perhaps

Eh, because it was trying to be completely a horror game? It had a unique (at the time) mix of turn-based and active combat, similar to Vagrant Story (not as deep), the game is actually based off a novel (and movie).
That, and when i was in elementary school-early middle school, the game had me convinced slightly that all the stuff that happened in that game could actually happen. While not completely scientifically sound, the lore does a great job of explaining everything without making it sound too crazy. Mitochondria have been proven to be a separate life-form with a unique sequence of DNA, so what if they really did "awaken" like in the games, and had something controlling them like Eve?

Bah... wish they did it here...
Vagrant Story, Vanguard Bandits, Front Mission, Chrono Cross, Valkyrie Profile, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Suikoden 2, Einhander, Ehrgeiz (I know I know, but I loved this game), Legend of Mana, Legend of Legia, Tales of , Star Ocean: Second Star Story, the two Lunar games (silver star story and the other one), Xenogears, Granstream Saga, The Dino Crisis series (think 1 is in there, not sure though), Threads of Fate, Brave Fencer Musashi...
Damnit! I feel like I'm forgetting about a few games...
and while fresh about it, where's the PS3 Musashi game? We have one for the PS1 AND PS2, so why no PS3 version?!

Suikoden II.
I thought this one would have already been released by now considering the first one was released on PSN quite a while ago. Come on Konami =(

one game i want that was released by some Japan company was bought out by Square Enix so here it goes....
TACTICS OGRE: LET US CLING TOGETHER !!!!!!!
the game was fun to play and yea it was like Final Fantasy Tactics but you could even talk to low health enemies and get them to join your team by persuading them ! from the guy with wings to a griffin and soldier or wizard ETC it was fun to do that too see who i can get on my team. and it had multiple endings. All Around the game was a fun Tactical RPG.
