RPGFan - "Over the years, those of us who love RPGs have spent a lot of time with Sony's consoles. The PlayStation 2, for example, was the undeniable king of home consoles for RPGFans of its time. However, when it comes to handhelds, the PlayStation Portable faced an uphill climb from the day it was released. In Japan, it came on the scene just 10 days after Nintendo's DS, but the gap was three months longer in the US. And although both consoles had great features, the DS went on to outsell the PSP two to one."
Edia has entered into a global licensing agreement with Falcom to port various Ys, Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes, and The Legend of Xanadu titles originally released for PC Engine CD-ROM² to modern platforms, the company announced.
Khayl Adam: "With the release of the game for PS5 and PS4, which features up-rendered graphics, quality-of-life features like rewind and quick save, and custom video filters, there is now no excuse not to play what has rightfully become something of a cult classic. Level-5's take on the historical Hundred Years War that raged between the kingdoms of England and France in the 15th century is a creative one, and we're glad to report that the wait has been worth it."
Jeanne d'Arc is a brilliant hidden gem that released on the PSP in 2007, and now the tactical RPG is finally available again through PlayStation Plus.
One of my favorite PSP titles of all time. This is probably my favorite Classic title to hit the PS Catalog yet. I had already bought it on Vita though as part of the PSP store, so I got it for free here to keep. That was quite generous of them, considering the HD overhaul and trophy addition. It would have been worth buying again. Every jrpg fan should try this out on PS+ catalog.
No? It shows up on mine as owned "Free" bc I bought it years ago.
If you have a Vita, I suppose you could still buy it, if it's still on the store there?
*edit - yep it's still there! $9.99 is a steal for this remaster. (of course free on PS+ catalog is amazing too! This is one I like owning though) You should be able to buy it there on that link on your PC.

Here's a reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/JR...
You can buy it separately, I had to use the PS app to find it on the store (the web store is so dysfunctional), I thought the game had skipped the aussie store, lol.
@OtterX - Yes you can buy this game without owning a Vita (like pretty much every other PS classic on PS4/PS5). I bought it yesterday on PS5. It also costed 10 USD.
Its a great one and I’m going to play it via the Portal. Summoner PS2 also got trophies which is cool
Yes! Final Fantasy Tactics is still my favorite tactical jrpg of them all!
I am playing this too, it's my first time. I really enjoy games like this and I'm having fun.
They also added Summoner which I do know quite a bit about it's also really good.
Great month for PS+ all round.
Edit: I hope Sony sees the popularity of this style of game because i have for years (since PS3) been wanting and saying they should make spin off games of their popular series but in different genres.
I have always wanted a tactical game from games like Uncharted, TLoU or Horizon (or any franchise really, I also think they could make a cool card battler Slay the Spire type game.
And they could make games like this quick and cheap compared to what they normally make.
Jeanne D'Arc 19? Star ocean 2 20? WTF worst top 20 ever.
To be honest I was expected something better from RPGFan & disappointed very hard at the end.. for example Crisis Core on No3 is outrageous & completely ridiculous choice... & then we have Kingdom Hearts which I can't even call rpg on No8.. tragic nothing else to say many other wrong selection no reason to mention them all & it's pointless this list is simply teribad, at least they put Trails in the Sky high enough this I'm sure is something most ppl agree with.
Weird list... Some games just shouldn't be on there, like (I might grilled for this, but) Star Ocean 2, and Lunar. Those games are seriously overrated by the rpg community.
Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire 3, although ports, should really be on there. And what about Dissidia? It's got a ton of rpg elements to it, and certainly takes as long as any rpg to fully complete.
Also I never played Trails in the Sky, but that girl looks EXACTLY like Kid from Chrono Cross.
Let us Cling Together cannot touch FFT. Besides that, it's all games I wish I played
Tactics Ogre, and Final Fantasy Tactics
