What the title says. I hope this isn't against TOS but I started the community wishlist for this game for anyone interested. For those who love the Arc the Lad Collection (which is going for insane prices on eBay) go vote for it here so we can hopefully see it appear on GOG someday!

dont see how - but a mobygames (or other) link offsite (in your OP) may help in garnering votes.
it's already got a cheap digital rerelease on psn though.

Porting it to the pc seems like it might be a bit of a legal mess even if vic wanted to do it.

I want a DRM free release, however.
I still have my box set that came with 1-3 plus the Arena, a pocket watch, some joy stick covers and I think memory card case for the PSone. I think it came with a few other little things too, but can't remember what. Don't feel like digging it out right now. Was a fun game though. Not sure how well a port would go, again with cost. Emulators are free, just need a hard copy or ISO image, I keep images of mine after wearing out a copy of Diablo.
Don't know if GOG could come up with their own "console emulation station" and get permission to sell image files or not. Would be interesting to say the least. But so many games are being remade in HD or in other forms, I think getting the rights would be tough. Resident Evil for example.
Was there ever a PC version? Mobygames says it was mostly made for PlayStation consoles.
I'd love a PC version, if they did do it, good luck getting it on GOG.
Unless GOG starts selling emulated console games (legal quagmire) or developer ports/remakes them for PC (probability is low), I don't see this happening. But you're free to wish for it, that's what wishlist is for after all.

Voted, probably pointless though, but with Grandia here, you never know :)
Arc the Lad, I loved those games, especially Arc the Lad II. I am not sure it will ever come to PC though, so much time has passed and Arc the Lad was never ported before.

However, Grandia was already ported around 10 years ago. Not the case with Arc the Lad.

I loved those games.. I remember i was stuck in Arc the lad 2, i got stupid idea to get to the bottom of forbidden ruins (100floors of fighting or something) with low level character.. I did it, then i realized i must go back all the way up, or something like that - instant quit.

Of course i want to try that again. Voted +
Never played those, but I liked the anime made after them.

Considering that they were never released for PC AFAIK, the probability of ever seeing these games here is close to zero.
Not to mention the fact that even if by some miracle the original publisher decided to do a PC remake, all non-indie Japanese publishers seem to love DRM so I'm pretty sure they'd never come to GOG, just like the FF games.

Still I guess we all have those games that we know will never come here and yet wish for anyway (for me, both Midwinter games and Diablo + Hellfire).
