Thanks, I may try it. I'm in serious need of an RPG fix for my PSP. I'm about to import Breath of Fire III and Tales of Eternia from the U.K. What games is it similar too?

the graphics are awesome, and the the fighting system is real time stragy but not when you just walk around. the loading times are not bad either, and i could not really compare it to a game because their isnt a game sort of like this. Also the sotryline is alot of fun, and the game can last you a while if you like to have your character be the bets like me, you go kill stuff for leveling which i do so the game lasts longer. Also there are no flaws in the controls, very straight forward and cool. So yea its a great game, and DEFANTLY worth 10 bucks and it can last you a while, (AKA alot longer than most psp rpgs). if you get it good luck you will like it ALOT. one of the coolest rpgs i have played in a WHILE

Strange, it took me over 20 hours to get halfway! It felt really 'epic' for me
I loved it too, but the battle system/action is very repetitive & slow..
but the story, going deeper with each story. Its kind of a buildungsstory with a lot of warmth.
You just have to get yourself throug the first half hour.

I would rate it at the same height as the FF1 remake but still behind Tales of Eternia.
I still have Breath of Fire III & Legend of Heroes ready to play.. i tried LoH for a while, but
didnt really like it that much (yet).

 

Edit: spelling & double-paste

yea the story took me a long time aswell :) not 12 hours, and Legend of heroes isnt fun, that gets SO boring. the thing that keeps you playing popolocrois is the storyline, and the a funny charatcer, and not bad graphics because the game actualy looks awesome, and the battle can get boring but in my opinion its actualy addictive and more fun than other battle systems of rpgs for the psp

Popolocrois rules dudes. I rented this game when i had my first PSP (it got stollen, awwww, LOL) and now that i have my second PSP and didint rented the game, i bought it, i payed 17 bucks for it though, that was when not even gamestop had it, before this $10.00 offer it was some what of an obscure game.

The game is awesom. Nice, wierd style of its own for the characters and those cool animatd cutsceens sorta make u keep playing right when ur about to put the game down for a leg strech, LOL.

i was shocked to see Popolocrois for the Gamestop special at $10 a pop.  That game is hard to find period.  All of a sudden they appear out of no where with half the price.  I snatched that faster than a monkey on a cupcake. 

This title needs more recognition than any other RPGs on the PSP currently.  The history of this game is very strong back in the early PS2 days in Japan.  When i heard they were releasing this on the PSP i was stoked.

From the gamespot review it says random fights occur way to frequently. Is this true because i get frusrated if it happens all the time and i wont play.

no its not that frequent especialy not as frequent as final fantasy games, to me its perfect, enough to keep it addictive and fun, but not to less to keep the game boring. it really isnt that frequent it really is perfect to me.

glad you liked it the more reason for me to justify my purchase, I haven't opened it though because I have too many games to play with so little time... I also got their other games on sale because $10 isn't that much imagine buying a new game like ratchet for $40 when you can get 3-4 games for that price because of the sale.

And also all random battles get tedious even in FF series because sometimes you just want to explore an area but can't because battles pop in.

too many gamers today are spoiled with the 3d lush graphics that they skip over small titles like this one because it's "old" or "not next-gen" ... too bad for those people.  I would hope for more RPGs like this on the PSP.

It's a very basic story.  If you aren't into old-school rpgs then you obviously wouldn't like it.  From the looks of your comments, stick to your FF titles ;)

I'm not just about FF lol. I'm not a fan of the old school ones, or the 7/8th/9th one. The only one i've really enjoyed is 10/12. Enchanted arms is good though, im a sucker for traditional JRPGS. ToE is the best RPG on the psp by a long shot. But for the lucky people who have custom firmware (im not one of them :\) they get to play all the kick ass snes rpgs.

Because of many ppl saying this on forums, i bought LoH1, despite the bad ratings. Well, i played for like 15 mins and nothing, NOTHING interesting happened. A story about a brother missing his sister en being grumpy about it.. a wierdo kid playing hide & seek with you. I wasnt interested at all. Also, the translation is quite bad. Nevertheless i might pick it up later and try to complete it anyhow... perhaps it needs some more time invested into it.

I do recommend FF1 though, it is a 1st class remake! Okay, its an old game but it is an old-school gem, really! I love that game and its addicting simplicity. Almost no loading times, veryvery polished & sharp and totally FF! I imported the japanese version, with english translation, which is amazingly well done. It can be played 100% english. Dont wait, get it now!
