Didin't played the PSP version, but i played the PSX version and it's a great game.The story is great, at times it's difficult to follow but it's great anyway, the characters at first seems shallow but as the story develops the characters becomes more deep and you empathize with them.
The battle system it's regular, at least for me it became boring after a while but I was near the end of the game so i wanted to finish it regardless the boring battles. Also you have a couple of sidequest and the "world map" it's the map of the city and you can go to bars, shops, a Spa, food locals, etc which each one act as shops depending on the rumor system.
The rumor system it's a nice feature, basically you choose rumors from a list like "The cashier in X shop sells weapons" so you spread this rumor, go to the previously innocent shop and voila! you have a new black market weapon dealer :D
The problem with this game it's the battle system and the difficulty of the game which is really challenging at times and add the frequent random encounters and you have a -sometimes- frustrating game.
Overall it's a really GREAT game, but it's not for everyone, you have to love old school RPGs in order to love this game, I recommend you to buy it if you like old rpg.
