Speaking of PSP RPGs what are the must haves? I don't own one but do have a Vita.

The *Definitive* PSP RPGs for Vita Thread


Don't know how old that thread is or when it's been updated last seeing as the TC's been banned. Besides, the PSP has some other amazing games in genres besides RPG.


Man, that thread makes me want to bust out my PSP and plow through its backlog. SO many games on there I just had to skip but they look so good.

Nothin' jrpg about monster hunter yo! But I agree it wipes the floor with the Vita library, objectively.

That's what I've been doing with my PSPgo, but there's well, other systems that have great games that I use the go for to clean up their backlogs as well.

It's certainly not the platform for AAA games.

It definitely has shape up a great looking JRPG lineup. Will check out Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Pokemon Y.

I think I gotten all I wanted beside maybe Final Fantasy Type-0 and Trails of Nayuta. The JRPG lineup on the PSP definitely look good. Too bad my PSP kick the bucket a little while back.>.>

Luckily I have put quite a few hours into P3P, so I can weather it myself. Good bye, my dear Charizard. I'll see you on the sunnier side.

Coming from the DS I'm not too impressed, hopefully we get more in the West.SaltyMeatballs

Yeah, the DS was boss when it came to JRPGs. 3DS hasn't impressed me quite yet.

Lolno. 15 games. Some of which are of very questionable quality (Paper Mario, Crimson Shroud) and random imports dont make it better than the PS3 for JRPGs.

Does anyone really know what an RPG is?

I mean its not like you aren't role playing in every game you play.

I guess you could say that it has something to do with stats, levels and stuff, but I don't remember it ever being black and white.

I assume you can run and lock on in the game? That's what killed it for me, there was no explanation in the demo at all. Still, I'm not likely to get the game now; I was interested but now not so much.

Yes you can lock onto Monsters who are in the zone. It was a terribly revised demo if im honest and like you said it left you with more questions than answers.

I prefer RPG's with turn-based combat to those that end up turning into action games with clunky controls.

They have a large selection of JRPGs, yet none touch the quality of Persona 4, I'd be great though if Atlus could port it to the 3DS, I hope the Devil Survivor 2, Soul Hackers, and SMT4 do really well, then I hope they consider porting Persona 4 over.

Also, I really don't want to get into a debate about whether or not JRPG's have to come from Japan (I don't believe they do), but I would include this game on the list, as it is clearly in the same genre as Fire Emblem.

It also has The Last Remnant, along with a few indie titles, but yeah, the number of JRPGs on the PC is pretty low in comparison to the handhelds.
