Thanks for the answer.

Now my take on it: I sadly new and considered every single aspect you mentioned, some even thrown in the OP, but having played most of what is on Vita from RPGs to indies (which I also love), and PS1 classics, the PSV main game attractors I can still find and some very few PSP games, having being gaming on PS my entire life Vita just seems like it has almost nothing I can still find enough to convince me to get it.

Recently I've been trying to look for some games I still didn't play and sadly they are massively more expensive on Vita than on PS3/PS4, things that could convince me to get a Vita as Cyber Sleuth are all easily gotten or more affordable on the platforms I already have, not to say also almost always better versions just as well.

Is there really almost nothing I can get on Vita that having been a PS gamer my entire life hasn't already provided me? The PSP is almost its only saving on that point in my current POV, do you know other games that could change it? They can be multiplatform as long as they aren't on other PS systems like Muramasa Rebirth and the likes.

Disgaea games could be a saving grace as their most content filled versions are the handheld ones, but having already spent easily over a thousand hours in the original version of the 4 of them available on Vita, they just don't attract me THAT much anymore as fuel to invest hard cash on another platform.

Yeah... though remote play IS a thing to consider as well.

But the fact is that vita doesn't have many exclusives of you have PC/ps4.

And the 3ds has SMT and PQ (with PQ2 coming up)... plus fire emblem. And xenoblade.

As much as the vita is a nice system, the 3ds just overpowers it in cost efficiency as it has tonnes of JRPGs as well. Plus the N3ds is just as powerful as the vita specs wise if you are into that.

Jah? The N3ds hardware is not as good, has lower res, and an inferior screen. The best looking games on the N3ds would be lucky to crack into the realm low teir Vita games.

I went on Vacation, My PS4 was 600 miles away. My hotel had a good wifi connection. I could turn on my PS4 and play games with my Vita through remote play while my Ps4 system was 600 miles away. I think that is a good incentive enough.

Firmware 3.60 is hacked, so get a Vita with this version, put on a custom firmware, add your favourite emulators, use normal micro SD cards and expand your Vitas gaming library with the last 30 years of gaming history. Enough reasons?

It is one of my favorite systems ever. Between it's amazing library and remote play I use my Vita nearly every day. Best handheld I've owned and I loved my GBA and 3DS. If it doesn't appeal to you that is fine, but to me it is the continuation of the PS2 golden era for Sony.

Your phone doesn't play Vita or PSP games.

If I could, I'd add you to my friends twice.

In all seriousness. I've never been a fan of "convince me" threads. You know yourself better than anyone. Way the pros and cons of the decision then decide for yourself.

(The post got kinda big, so don't worry too much about reading it all and just drop the goods if you feel like)

I own every single PS home console, but never had one of their handhelds, and never really had an urge to.

Owning a Gameboy Advance and playing a lot of a friend's Gameboy Color, my handheld experience was all about Nintendo up until now, and while I want a New 2DS, who knows when it'll be priced here in a range I find acceptable (it'll likely release at the same price as a PS4 when it coms here and keep pricey for years), but recently with less and less time and playing less and less (basically weekends only) I think getting a handheld might help me get back to a more constant gaming schedule.

As said above, I own all Sony home systems, and Vita exclusive library is pretty restricted and modest, but, giving you guys a hand here, my favorite genre is BY FAR rpgs and that's what the Vita usually gets talked about. I also have a good bunch of already bought games on PS3 and PS4 that would work on it without me having to rebuy them. Also, I would like to try some PSP games like Crisis Core and Peace Walker so that's another plus as the Vita store hold some of them.

Yet, the lack of investment from Sony after a single year, the lacking strong exclusive line up (not even a Gow or GT, though there are those on PSP), the very pricey proprietary cards and lack of physical copies of some games just makes me think getting a Vita may be a waste of money (which is quite a lot of money, as getting and backing even one system in Brazil is expensive as fuck) and it doesn't look it'll add much new games to me.

So, I'm kind of puzzled, meanwhile I think a handheld now would be welcome to my schedule, and after getting a bad experience with buying an used 3DS earlier this year (which will have to be the case with Vita, will have to be used as the few stores that sell it new charge much more than I'm willing to pay) and after the New 2DS got announced it's definitely the one I'll eventually get, I just can't convice myself to invest on the Vita.

After the new Persona 3 dancing game got announced for it, tho, I've found myself searching constantly for used Vitas and games in the internet, solely due to the prospect a Golden like P3 with trophies could get announced for it which would definitely make me want it for real (I don't care about the dancing game).

So I thought about giving you guys a shot at convicing me at getting a Vita, and even as yes, LoD on the go is more than reason enough, I can do that on my phone already, so no easy routes here guys!

Which would be the games truly worth on getting/playing on a Vita and nice RPG (and the like) games that I can only get on it?

Maybe you losers, ahem, Vita onwers, can convince me to get one someway, please, give it a try.

You can play Legend of Dragoon on the toilet.

Oh shit, I didn't know that. How hard is it to do? Do you have a video?
