Phantasy Star / Star Ocean

I enjoy my RPGS and well my little PSP is more or less my RPG buddy. Now I was reading up on Phantasy Star and Star Ocean and both seem quite good. There isnt a review of PS on here for me to have a look at. I can afford both but really I want to consintrate on just one. I want a little break from Disgaea which I really enjoyed.

Soi'd like to see what people think of the Star Ocean or Phantsay Star PSP games. Or even any other RPGs which dont seem to be that well known. Basically anything other than FF. :lol:

Have you went to Game Rankings? They collect reviews from legitimate review sites all over the web and compile them together to produce aggregate rankings. Currently, Phantasy Star Portable isn't doing too well critically at 69.43%.

I was thinking about picking up PSP some day, and I alrady have Star Ocean: First Departure (although it's still sealed...bought too many games last month).

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Kingdom of Paradise, Monster Hunter series, etc. There's numerous RPGs available for the PSP, and a number of threads already started about them. I'll leave you to look them up instead of repeating.

If youve played PSO beffore then you probably know what PS is about more or less.

I personaly prefer Star Ocean so yeah....

I havent gotten around to play either of them but judging by reviews, public response, and gameplay videos, I'd go with Star Ocean.

Also another gem with gameplay like Disgaea is Jeanne D'Arc, but youve probably already played that.

I'm in the middle of both and I find Star Ocean much more enjoyable.

I've played both and I like Phantasy Star better... Call me a freak, but I think it's a lot of fun. It has its' annoying bits sure, but they're not all that common. One thing that might bug you in PS is the dialogue, which is all in cutouts with different facial expressions.

Just rep'ing the other side of this too. I wish GS would review that game, it's dumb that they refuse to.

But from what I see the 2nd game is getting a better write up than the first. Is it very story driven as in the you wont understand the plot if you havent played the first one? InsultToInjury_

I picked up Second Evolution yesterday not had a chance to play it yet. I had a look for PS aswell but they didnt seem to have it which helped my decision a wee bit more. I'll give Second Evolution a go tonight. Also does anyone know why GS havent reviewed the new PS? InsultToInjury_

Great choice. Enjoy!

And they usually take their time when reviewing PSP games because its not in such a high demand like the 360 and DS reviews.
