@Hisiru- i will agree with you that the PSP has alot more potential then the DS that the dev's simply aren't taking advantage of overall just yet... however...

Dragon Quest IX/FFIV/Golden Sun,  is all a matter of opinion, same goes for my phantasy star portable 2 post earlier, the dif is though i've pretty much seen what the DS has to offer graphiclly, its decent but a does not come close to what PSP is capable of, and to be honest i also give PSP more praise then the DS for the simple FACT that the PSP is the only handheld to not only SURVIVE against a Nintendo based handheld gaming device but its also taken away quite a handful of exclusives that COULD have been DS exclusive but since PSP is around that didn't happen.

For Example, if it was only DS, chances are Phantasy Star Portable 2 would most likely be Phantasy Star DS 2, but again, since PSP is around THAT did not and WILL not happen.

Anyways, i hate monopolys, and nintendo has had its crown for far to long when it comes to portable gaming, and in MY opinion, i feel Sony has done portable gaming better then the Nintendo has done with the DS this gen, im not saying the DS is bad, just PSP is better for various reasons, exclusive games like PSP2 being one of those examples. along with Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and many others.

 

I respect your opinion about PSP x DS in this case but you will choose a RPG for graphics?

"which has mant JRPG's, questionable in quality sure..."

Give me some examples (oh, and the PSP doesn't have only quality, even Persona 1 is very questionable)

Quality = Graphics?

Ah good, good. i respect your opinion to dude.

what was a typo btw lol i meant "Many JRPG's" in that other post, just sayin'...

And no, quality does not Equal graphics, what i meant by that is that the DS is flooded with sooo many JRPG's not alot of them are good, just... decent since its the depot of quite a few cheaply made ones, in the long run im sure the total of Grade A (Or S if we are rating by japanese standards lol.) JRPG's on DS are vast and far, but there are also alot of iffy and fiddlely titles as a result, just like the PS2 and to a small extent even PSP and PS3.

As for my view on quality, for overall RPG's Graphics + Gameplay (Yes hand in hand) > Story (Only slightly) >>> Controls (Aslong as its doable) >>>>> Replay Value (Chances are most RPG's have this anyway so...) >>> Anything else in between such as music or voice acting or what have you.

basiclly i deem Graphics and Gameplay to walk hand in hand the highest. DS has the gameplay down no doubt about that, i love Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume for DS, its one of my Fave exclusives... however... its graphical power annoys me, and made me enjoy the game less then i wanted since i had a taste of a 3D VP game, granted the 3D game isn't available for PSP but PSP has the power to make a 3D VP game without question or much sacrifice.

 in conclusion... thats the example.
