When you think of Role-Playing Games, you think of epic adventures that take hours upon hours to completed and also require lots of character grinding in order to progress through the game smoothly. Looking to change the way people viewed RPGs, XSEED Games and Opus teamed up to create Half-Minute Hero for the PlayStation Portable. While you will still be taking part in epic adventures and leveling up your character, the action within Half-Minute Hero is very fast-paced and harkens back to the classic games of old. With unique gameplay mechanics and visuals, Half-Minute Hero is a gaming experience that will be enjoyed everyone looking for a break from the typical RPG.
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."
Yea the games on the list are good but the order is iffy in some parts. Not a terrible list though.
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
Whenever there’s a Steam sale, there’s usually a few games that are tucked away in a corner somewhere that have no advertising. Even though most of these aren’t big enough to be featured on the main page, they are still gems that should be bought up. We’ve compiled a list of games that we feel either deserve to be purchased and is an incredible value. The rule is that it has to be at least 70% off, otherwise there’s a chance it will drop in price again before the sale ends.
Rice Digital takes a look at the bite-sized RPG that,though now well known, many people still have yet to try... to their detriment.
