When it comes to French history, one of the largest legends for the country revolves around the tale of Joan of Arc. A young girl who believed she heard the voice of God, she managed to unite the country and eventually toss the invading English forces out of the country. But not many people know that she was aided with the help of mystical armlets, or that the English used hordes of monsters to subjugate the French countryside. At least, you wouldn't know it unless you played Jeanne d'Arc, Level-5 and Sony Computer Entertainment's alternate take on the classic tale, which is one of the best tactical strategy RPGs released on a handheld in recent history.
Phil at SPC writes, "Welcome to the return of One & Done, an article series on SPC that talks about games that never became franchises. They were literally one and done! Now, the purpose of these articles isn't to beg for sequels, as some of these games don't need them and not every game needs to become a franchise. Instead, we're just exploring and fondly remembering these terrific titles from generations' past and giving them some more time in the old spotlight."
I also remember Cold Fear. Never wound up buying it but I watched some of the walkthrough years later.
Gun could’ve gone on, but RDR was a tough act to follow.
Early years of the following gen had quite a few one-shots. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze, Folklore, Stranglehold. Bah gawd Stranglehold had expensive DLC for its day.
There are the superstars of the Japanese RPG genre, the must-plays on any gamer’s list: Final Fantasy VII, Persona 4, Chrono Trigger. This is a not a list of those.
Although it's not entirely JRPG and has a little more emphasizes on the action side, I also highly recommend Nier on the PS3.
A very underrated obscure game, but very enjoyable.
Dragon Quest IV is one of the most well-known and well-loved JRPGs in the entire history of gaming.
The role playing game Jeanne D'Arc is finally available for download on PlayStation Vita in North America. The game could only be played on PS Vita previously by downloading it on a PS3 and transferring the game.
Im so happy this game did well, I was anticipating the hell out of it.

Nice. This stuff (RPG's) are just what will make me buy a PSP.
