Top 5 PSP RPGs

"The PSP has - despite what some people insist - a seriously impressive library of great titles, especially RPGs. In fact, you could argue that the handheld has more quality role-playing games than the PS3 does. That’s why it was so hard to narrow this list down to just five games. These five, however, represent the best of the best on the PSP - not the most hyped or the most overrated (hence the lack of both Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)." -Mike Rougeau, GameZone/Kombo

Persona 5 needs to be re-released, it came late to the PS2 and a lot of players missed it.

RPG fans should search for it.

Yi-Long5572d ago

... but surprised that Disgaea isn't on this list...

SactoGamer5572d ago

P4 was an awesome game that many people missed. It'd be great to get it onto the PSP.

BigPenguin5571d ago

The only problem with P4 was that it took 2 god damn hours of text before you got to your first battle, and then another 1 hour before the game actually stopped holding your hand.

If they re-release it to the NGP, I am not sure I can sit through that again, my ADD made it almost impossible the first time.

the psp is almost like the ps1 and ps2 days. they are loaded with JRPGs, but it sucks that most of em dont leave japan.

Good list. Crimson Gem Saga and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII are a couple others that I enjoyed immensely.

Review: Jeanne d'Arc - Long Awaited Strategy RPG Remains Divine | Push Square

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."

PlayStation Plus Just Quietly Released the Most Overlooked Tactical RPG Of All Time

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.

OtterX667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

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.

solideagle667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

can we not buy it separately? it seems its only for premium

OtterX667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

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...

It's 10 bucks. Go over to the ... on the game page. It should let you buy it

FinalFantasyFanatic666d ago

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.

shaenoide667d ago

You can play it on PS5 ?

BinaryMind667d ago

Yep, you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions if you buy it too.

jznrpg667d ago

Its a great one and I’m going to play it via the Portal. Summoner PS2 also got trophies which is cool

MeteorPanda667d ago

Nothing beats ff tactics: war of the lions in my heart.

gold_drake667d ago

nothin beats Shinging Force 2, i mean, no contest haha xD

shinoff2183667d ago

Shining force 2 was the first tactic game I ever played. Loved that turtle.

Lionsguard667d ago

Shining Force 1 had the more memorable characters imo.

OtterX667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

Yes! Final Fantasy Tactics is still my favorite tactical jrpg of them all!

TheColbertinator666d ago

Valkyria Chronicles is my #1 always

gold_drake667d ago

its rly good, playing right now actually ha.

Einhander1972667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

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.
