which of these game are worth the money to buy digitally from the eshop and to play and enjoy?

Tales of Symphonia Remastered
Tales of Grace f Remastered
or Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Collection

I already and still have Tales of Grace f digitally for my Playstation along with Symphonia Chronicles and i still sort of play around in those two games once in awhile. Plus I think I still have an old save file of Tales of Symphonia for my Gamecube's save cartridge.

just wondering which one out of the 3 Remastered rereleases is worth spending on from the eshop?

Can't speak for the others but Symphonia remastered is pretty bad - a downgrade from the Gamecube original in multiple ways and probably the worst version out there. Save your money unless you're truly desperate to play on the go.

At least 2'8".

I enjoyed the Baten Kaitos remasters but there are some caveats. Firstly, there's no English dub; you have to play them in Japanese with subtitles. Secondly, there are a bunch of performance issues, particularly with severe slowdowns in a couple of the boss fights.

Neither of them affected me that much, but they're things to be aware of.

I don't have the remasters, so keep the issues @Matt_Barber pointed out in mind, but the Baten Kaitos games are both great. I prefer Origins faster-paced battle system (in fact, it is my all time favorte jrpg), but will admit there is more depth and strategy to EWatLO. These got overlooked for being labeled "card rpgs" but they don't really play like card rpgs. There's nothing else quite like them, and I wish more people give the series a chance.
Start with Eternal Wings, but if you find yourself bogged down buiding decks for each character, or battles too long and drawn out, know that Origins streamlines all that, and can be enjoyed without playing the first game. Your characters all draw from the same deck, and battles are FAST. Probably the only card game I've played that tests your reflexes.

@judaspete I have played Baten Kaitos before for my Gamecube. I know what goes on in the game.

I was asking if the HD collection is worth getting even though its pricier than the other remastered games.

You're getting two games, I suppose.

It regularly goes on sale for 50% off on the eShop, if you're looking for a bargain.

Funny you should ask. I know I'll be getting Lunar, and it comes out in just a couple of months. They haven't announced a physical, however. Anyone have a guess as to whether or not we will get a physical at this point?
