Along with Xenogears, Square-Enix has put up 3 of its best PSOne classics on the PSN recently and I highly recommend checking them out if you haven't.
The first one is Vagrant Story, which is written by Matsuno (Final Fantasy Tactics, XII, Tactics Ogre) and is an incredibly original and fun dungeon crawler with a beautiful story. It is unofficially part of the 'Ivalice Alliance', taking place in the same world but with none of the faerie creatures that Final Fantasy features like Moogles. It has lots of dragons though.
The second one isn't actually out yet but it's coming soon, and that is Legend of Mana. One of my personal favourites; it features some of the most beautiful artwork in video game history. It's all static images but god they're beautiful. Also the music is amazing. Gameplay is fun but pretty button mashy. The story jumps all over the place based on what you do because it's very sandboxy.
The final one is Parasite Eve. Khoi, or anyone looking to purchase The 3rd Birthday, you'll definitely want to get this if you haven't already. Parasite Eve is an action-RPG. It featured revolutionary gameplay for its time and an extremely complex and story (derived from an old Japanese book, actually.)
All three of these games are awesome and totally worth the $5 - $10 the PSN is asking for them. I haven't checked prices yet but PSOne games never go over $10 before taxes. Get them!
