Yes.

Just to make sure I don't throw my Vita across the train when I'm commuting to work...

What is the safest way to leave where I left off if I need to put away my Vita and there is no save point nearby in any of the PSone FF games? Do I simply hit the PlayStation button in order to suspend gameplay?

Yeah, it'll pause the game and you can press the power button on top to put it to sleep.

That's what I do. The Vita battery lasts surprisingly long when not turned off but simply locked. I'll forget I left it on a few days and I'll come back and it'll still have a pretty decent charge.

On another note, the work they put into FFIV complete is amazing. It looks so gorgeous on the Vita's screen.

Question: So the PS3 i have will play PS1 games. But they look worse than they did on the PS1. I am not sure if this is because its a PS1 disc on an HDTV or because its just an old game. So my question is if i buy the downloadable version is it graphically better? I know its not an HD remake but is there a difference?

Or is there some setting i can change?

So FFVI doesn't work correctly on the vita??

I think VI does and V doesn't.

FFVI works great on Vita... it's my fav with Mog, Gau, Umaro and Gogo. LOL wonky auto team.
i do miss the glitches you could cause by sketching an invisible character with Relm, aka reviving General Leo etc mayhem you could do on SNES.

Has anyone played LOTR: Guardians of Middle-earth yet? If so, is it actually playable now (without bots, preferably..), or are the servers still too empty to get into a game?

It's because it's an HDTV; it'd look just as bad (maybe worse) if you managed to hook up an actual PSOne to it. You can fiddle with the settings that you can pull up with the home button to change the scale and add a bilinear filtering effect, but that's all. It's worth mentioning that the games tend to look loads better on the Vita in my experience/opinion.

what should I buy with $20 PSN Credit?

tempted to get the FF games.. but I can't get them all

If they keep waiting it will be too late for SE to capitalize on FF 6 popularity.

Previous poster has it right as to the whys of the poor picture quality. There are some settings you can tweak on both your PS3 and HDTV but it would be a personal preference thing.

Ok so gonna get FF VI VII and Diss heck yeah

I'm replaying that one now. Started playing and realized it was another one I never finished. However, I would love to see an HD remake of 6, 7, 8 or 9. (Ok maybe not 9... I'd feel really weird about that.)

For anyone considering selling your disc copies of FF 8 or FF 9 and getting the digitals for $5. You can get about $13 before fees for selling FF 8 and $14 for selling FF 9 (going by lowest BIN price and cross checking completed listings). There is some variation though based on black vs green label and condition. I wouldn't sell them unless you can get more $ due to those variables.

I am planning on getting FF7-9, are there any other ones that are worth getting?

Final Fantasy Tactics is a great pick up at this price and if you have a Vita make sure to pick up the War of the Lions version for the extra classes and cut scenes (as well as some fixed engrish).

For the people recommending FFVI what about the loading times? I keep on reading that it was a bad port of the original or something similar to that effect.

only chrono trigger had bad load times as far as i remember for the psone classics they redid.
but again, that's only if you have ever played ct on snes. otherwise it's probly hardly noticeable.
