what are some PSP RPG's i should look out for?
im somewhat of a novice when it comes to the PSP and RPG's but i do enjoy them both
so what are some of your faves?
any hidden gems?
-
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. :P
- 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.
-
thank you guys
i think i seen Brave Story in my local pawn store. i will pick it up next week
-

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.
I will make my list by category (action rpg, turn based and tactical) and also maybe I will have some left because I dont own or never played them
Turn Based:
Brave Story (for me the best game of the console)
Hexzy Force
Crimsom Gem Saga
Valkery Profile
Tales of the world (there are more tales of games but are in jpn)
Legend Of Heroes (the are like 3)
Monster Kindgom Jewel summoner (Pokemon style with dragons)
Dragoneer's Aria

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)

awesome, brave story the best turn based rpg and for me the best game on the handle and jaenna d ark the best tactical rpg :)

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.

though technically a Fighting game Dissidia: Final Fantasy Outside of Tactics and Bravely Default it's the best final fantasy I've played
-
Yeah, but Bravely Default isn't on PSP...
-
Yeah, but Bravely Default isn't on PSP...

Great game. If anyone is looking to pick it up tho, keep in mind that the only reason to pickup the original Dissidia is for collection purposes, because when you beat the second one (Dissidia 012 Duodecim) it unlocks the storyline of the original w/ the gameplay enhancements of the 2nd game.

Oh, really? That's good to know. I'd probably have ended up with both, but I don't really care about having both.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 is really good.

My friend owns Persona 3 FES and P3 portable and she says the psp version is better because they made gameplay tweaks that make the game almost impossible otherwise, i.e., you couldn't control your teammates and they would just do whatever.

Funny, didn't Scott say that he has the PSP ports vs the console versions?

Final Fantasy crisis core is the best rpg! ;)
