Winter of RPGs Brings Chrono Cross, FFV, and FFVI to PSN

Chrono Cross

Three Square Enix RPGs have been given firm (re-)release dates on the PlayStation Network. While none of them come as a surprise thanks to ESRB leaks from earlier in the year, fans should be excited about the chance to play this selection of classic titles on PS3, PSN, and (starting next year) Vita.

Square Enix is labeling these three releases as the Winter of RPGs campaign. Despite what the name would suggest, you won't have to wait for winter to officially begin to start playing any of them -- in fact, all three will be out weeks before winter even begins.

First up is Chrono Cross, the sequel to Chrono Trigger. It was originally released on PlayStation 1 in 2000 and never made it to any other platforms, unlike its predecessor, which you can find on SNES, PS1, DS, Virtual Console, and PlayStation Network. Cross will be available on PSN this coming Tuesday, November 8.

Next up is Final Fantasy V. It stars Bartz Klauser, a character whom newcomers to the series (or those who never played the game as a result of the 16-bit version never coming to the U.S.) may only recognize from Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Its release is scheduled for November 22. Unlike Cross, where there are essentially no alternatives, you may be better off with the Game Boy Advance version, Final Fantasy V Advance, if you have the portable handy.

The last of the three is Final Fantasy VI, better known to many westerners as Final Fantasy III. The GBA or SNES versions may be the preferable way to go, but for those who want to play it on a more modern system, it'll be out on PSN on December 6.
