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.

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.

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.

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
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
Ragnarok Odessey
Astonishia Story
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance
Blazing Souls Accelate
Class heroes
Dissgaea (the are like 3 games)
Half-Minute Hero
Knights in the Nightmare
Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle
Riviera: The Promised Land

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...

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.

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! ;)
