I guess I shouldn't have made this into a poll. I was just wondering between these two games which one is worth getting. I've never played many JRPGS, but I hear Resident Evil 2 is short and not worth it. If you put other, tell me which game is better. Just not castlevania.

Vagrant Story is better than FF7, imo.  It's an action rpg, with a bad ass storyline and setting.  Though Resident Evil 2 is a classic. 
 
And Chrono Cross is quite a good JRPG.

 Sure FF VII is longer than RE2, but re2  is not short. I voted FF VII.

I just thought you should know that that's not opinion. That is 100% fact.
 

I agree with this man wholeheartedly: purchase Vagrant Story.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night, assuming you haven't played it on the 360/PS3 already and are able to find it for a decent price. I'd also check out FF Tactics and Vagrant Story. MGS, RE2, and FF7 IMO haven't aged well. They are nice collectors items; however, you may not enjoy them unless you have some nostalgia.

Abe's Odyssey. would recommend to anybody, especially those that loved Limbo. Just dusted off an old PS2 for the kids during summer holidays. That game has aged really well, still hard, but still great.

FFtactics, MGS, and FFVIII.  I agree FFVII hasn't aged well either.  Its either a history lesson or nostalgia.

Abe's Odyssey is sweet.  Picked it up on steam recently and still had a good time.
 
And I'm glad people support my Vagrant Story pick.  It can be a pretty tough game and it gets deep with item management, but I beat it 9 times, maxed out everything, and got all the rare items so yeah (and I'm not a big RPG guy).  Back when I was reading previews before release, people were freaking out by the graphics and how the cutscenes were at a Metal Gear Solid level.  Gotta agree there.  This trailer brought back so many memories, I gotta play it again:
 
 
 
 
Valkyrie Profile was fun, but I thought the PS2 sequel really improved the combat by moving it into 3D.

It's pretty good, for sure.  I finally beat it at the dawn of this generation and I still had its excellent moments.

Wholeheartedly agree with this, but he's asking about games you can get on PSN and this is not one of those.

Oh man, I completely missed that part.  Too bad the PSN selection is depressingly limited (in NA, anyway).

I'd go with RE2, but to be fair I could never really get into VII.
Not that that should take anything away from RE2. It's an amazing game.
So uh, yeah. RE2.

FINAL FANTASY 9! I really, really loved that game. I'm not sure why, but it has stayed in my mind for my entire gaming life.

I have a copy of Tactics for PSP, but I'm too intimidated to play it, lol.
 
Fun Fact: Both of these games take place in Ivalice, along with Final Fantasy XII.  Which is awesome.

Final Fantasy VIII is probably my favorite FF game (which isn't saying much, since I'm not a huge FF fan.).
 
Metal Gear Solid is a good game too, and I tried out Grandia but I didn't really get into it much. I should try it again sometime.

Symphony of the Night is really the only PS1 game I can think of that I can still bear to play.

I'd say Metal Gear Solid. I remember Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf being good but there are a lot of other games that are worth your time, basically all the ones mentioned so far. Apart from Blasto, I've never heard of that :P

  
But I just liked the premise of Sheep, Dog n Wolf (or Sheep Raider in North America) Although its kinda aimed at kids its still awesome.  it's probably just nostalgia on my part, though.
