The Best PSP RPGs Available Right Now [RPGSite]

The PSP is seemingly something of an overlooked RPG behemoth, with RPG series such as Monster Hunter, Disgaea, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star swelling its RPG ranks to the point of bursting.

It's hard to pick a mere top 5 that people must own - but here's RPGSite's best picks, agonised over for some time.

I am a pretty big Strategy Fan, but I really dont like Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics. I waited so long to play FF Tactics and when I played it I was a little dissapointed at how it played. Jeanne D"Arc however is one of the best games i've ever played, along with other strategy games such as Vandal Hearts 1 (not 2, man that was horrible) and Stella Deus (overlooked, but an amazing game).

Maybe I should give FFT and Disgaea another go?

gaffyh5262d ago

I agree, Jeanne D'Arc is amazing, and I hate SRPGs, but I loved Jeanne D'Arc. Should have been at the top of the list imo.

hatchimatchi5261d ago

i'm gonna buy jeanne d'arc eventually. I have a psp go so im limited as to which rpg's i can get. I'm not a huge fan of srpg's but level 5 is a solid company so i'm sure i'll enjoy the game.

The only psp rpg i have at the moment is 'crimson gem saga' and i must say that i absolutely love this game. I'm a huge fan of turn based level grind jrpg's. It kills me that they are becoming a rarity these days.

Silly Mammo5261d ago

Agreed! Jeanne D'Arc was a great game!

raWfodog5261d ago

I have all on that list except for Disgaea. Maybe I'll pick it up since I agree with him on all the others that he has on that list.

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC21d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan21d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias21d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66921d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan21d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC21d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix21d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani20d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.

Final Fantasy Games That Deserve the Remake Treatment

Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?

gold_drake130d ago

i feel like all of them.
well except 2 haha.

shinoff2183130d ago

Agreed. Ff2 though can be made better, so it's not entirely a lost cause. Ff8 will gets its time. I do wish they'd do the old ones. From ff10 and up those ones still hold up pretty well.

kevco33129d ago

Honestly, I've always felt that VII and up 'hold up well' in that regard. The early 3D games just needed a cosmetic update. But the FFVII Remake is so different to the original in execution that a lot of games could be done in a similar fashion and feel far more modern.

I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing (that depends on your personal preference!), just that they could feel very different.

shinoff2183129d ago

Kevco I liked remake but I think your right. Idda been happy with a 1 to 1 remake that looked like ever crisis to. Or both

I'd just love I square would one day give us a turned based one with today's graphics. I can't really think of a jrpg that does that.

andy85129d ago

I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.

shinoff2183129d ago

I do agree. I'd give it another shot even though I didn't like it at first. My taste change over time. Gta 4 for instance I was so disappointed it lacked so much of what san andreas had I didn't play it for like 5 years. One day went to a semi pro football game(American football) came home drunk and decided to try 4 again. I actually liked it after giving it a fair shot.

Rebel_Scum129d ago

Just make new games. Not every game needs to be remade.
