Yeah, had this exact same problem when brought a Vita recently as well. I think from memory you can change the controls, and you'll be free to escape from battles again. Yeah, Sony clearly had only modern games in mind when creating the Vita, which is stupid, because one of the main reasons to why people enjoy the Vita and PSP so much, is the ability to play old PSONE games anywhere you go.

Old Final Fantasy games on the Vita, especially FF VIII because of the whole ' monsters level up with you' and X-ATM092 is a giant pain. Though unfortunately, if you want to collect all of the old Final Fantasy games up to X- ( and hopefully soon XII ? SE ? Remember XII ? XII HD ? ) the Vita is the way to do it.
