Forums - Sony - Recommend me PSP JRPGs

UltimateUnknown on 06 November 2012

So yea I ended up getting the PSP a couple of weeks back. Yes the PSP, not the Vita, the PSP. I personally have no interest in the Vita as of now and neither did I have any interest in the PSP during its lifetime (I had DS and now 3DS as my handhelds). But looking at the catalog of PSP games I found it has an unusually large amount of JRPGs (or just Japanese developed games in general), which happens to be one of my favourite genres.

So I was hoping you guys could give me some recommendations on what JRPGs, or othe quirky Japanese games to look out for on the PSP. Oh and I'm already a huge fan of the persona series, so something beyond that please :)

Try Valhalla Knights 2, YS 7, Corpse Party and upcoming title Ragnarok Tactics?

Phantasy Star Portable 1 and 2

I haven't actually played them, but if they're as good as the Dreamcast original than they should not disappoint.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 is supposed to be very good.

Sega Genesis Collection has Phantasy Star II, III and IV. You can't go wrong with that. Phantasy Star IV is the best 16bit RPG of all time.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and Ys Seven

The Ys games are almost always great. Get at least one. I like "Oath" a lot.

That should get you started.

Final Fantasy:Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy: Crisis Core.
Don't bother with anything else as these two are the best RPG's on the PSP IMO.

Crimson Gem sagas is really good but I think its korean but has a real jrpg feel to it, also growlanser wayfarer of time and legends of heroes trails in the sky are very good!

Well I call it Ogre because that's how I remember the game. Action RPG falls under the catagory of RPG does it not?

Stop taking your stupid pills.
