You should definitely check out Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, it's def one of the top 10 rpgs for the PSP.

i picked that one up (just because its final fantasy) not got around to playing it yet. might make it my next game after Ni No Kuni

Speaking of Ni no Kuni, Jeanne D'Arc is a great strategy RPG on the PSP by Level-5, the same dev.  Brave Story is a great traditional turn-based RPG with a lot of charm.  And I haven't played them yet, but I've heard the Corpse Party games are excellent.

• Spectral Souls: Resurrection Of The Ethereal Empires: it's been awhile since I've played this game, but I do remember powering up characters and found it enjoying.  Problem is loading times, as it can take awhile.  Although, since the updates, maybe installing the game might make load times more manageable?
• Crimson Gem Saga: had an Atlus-collecting phase and the sensation re-emerges from time to time, due to the fond memories I remember with the games they published.
• Riviera: The Promised Land: although a port with added extras of the Gameboy Advance version, and Wonderswan Color to anyone who has the system...  The game was awesome for it's rhythm- and timing-based puzzles to solve, relationship points to "partners," and it's all-around cutesy.  Also, Atlus phase.

Looking at my awesome elder brother's greater collection:

• Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection: recommended for any Final Fantasy fan, especially Final Fantasy IV, as it also includes Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.  If you don't have the game yet, this is two great games for the price of one.
• Generation Of Chaos series: if I remember correctly, this RPG is similar to Spectral Souls and also has a kingdom-micromanagement system.
• Growlanser: Wayfarer Of Time: used to enjoy the game series back when it was published by Working Designs.  Then again, I use cheat codes when I play tactical RPGs. 
• Ys series: another great series that my brother owned and that I forgot to get for my collection.

I would second FFIV complete and the Ys games. The Ys games are the reason I even own a PSP. I just havent gotten around to making full use of it yet.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core is pretty solid.

I'd steer clear of Persona 3 Portable though.. some folks like it. But to me they made changes that weren't required and gutted the daytime portion of the game.

I came here to say this. I really enjoyed Crisis Core. I would check it out if you like FF

The psp, for me is the best handle console ever made (yes better than gameboy etc, are my likes ok xD ) and one reason for it is because of the rpg selection. For me the best rpg selection that you can come by after ps2 rpg games of course.

Dragoneer's Aria
Final Fantasy 4 (there is also ff3 jpn only)
Fate Extra
Persona games (1, 2  and 3)

Action Rpg
Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core (the best action rpg) (also type 0 is good but is in jpn :/ )
Tales of Eternia (another really good tales of game)
Monster Hunter (this game is the reason that the psp came way popular, everyone was playing it back then, there are like 3)
Kindgom Hearts
Gods Eater Burst
Lord of Arcana
Ys games (there are like 3)
Phantasy Star Portable and 2
Blade Dancer
Star Ocean (the first and second one)
Dudgeon Explorer
Valhalla Knights and 2

Tactical Rpg
Jennae D'ark ( the best one)
FF Tacttis
Valkyria Chronicles II (tactical shooter)
Wild Arms XF
Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone
Generation Caos

I don't have a lot of items on the PSP, but what I do have are all RPGs.  I love that they put the Star Ocean series on the handheld as well as the Persona series.  I remember spending a lot of time with Ys Seven - I'd definitely give that a purchase when you can.
