Handheld RPGs

Hello, I'm just starting to get into the RPG genre and I figured I might as well try a few for my PSP since I haven't play the thing in a while, but I'm not really sure what's worth my time and what isn't.

I'm looking for something that's reasonably easy to get into for newcomers (I'd heard good things about Final Fantasy Tactics, but was put off upon hearing of it's difficulty), yet still reasonably deep.

Any help would be appreciated :).

For the PSP? I cannot recommend Final Fantasy Tactics enough. I know it Looks difficult, but it isnt. It a challenge, but not frustratingly so. The story is amazing, and deals with issues and themes not found in many fantasy RPG's. If you've never played an final fantasy game before though, the items and leveling up strategy may be intimidating though.

If you;ve played FF VII, then I recommend Crisis Core. In itself, it's a great game, with easy to use mechanincs and controls. Side quests can be repetive, but the plot will keep up you going.

Brave Story and Star Ocean was meh, IMO.

FFT, FF7cc, jeanne darc, disgea ( hope I spelled that right )blooddog28

Seeing as you have a picture ok Welkin from VC im guessing you playing the game so im gonna have to say buy Final Fantasy Tactics as its a SRPG like VC is.-Hoax-

I'll agree with this as well. Final Fantasy Tactics is a great game. The learning curve with the mechanics and what not isn't entirely difficult, more so then the actual battles. FFT is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and I still curse the game out even to this day. Especially when you have the AI controlling a special character in your party. Sometimes the computer will choose a move that you don't approve of, and it switches your strategy entirely.

Crisis Core is a good RPG as well for a handheld, but if you're looking for a game most similar to VC then I definitely recommend FFT.

Try Monster Hunter Freedom 2 cause it is a rpg. LOL

Crisis Core is enjoyable, easy to get into and lengthy.

Disgaea is my favourite. It's great fun, relatively easy to begin with, although the difficulty does ramp up as the game goes on, and is very lengthy, providing countless hours of gameplay if you really get into it.

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

Brave Story (if you can get it shipped overseas)

Valhalla Knights (not sure which provinces this game was released)
