Hey all.

There has been two reasons to get a PSP:
1. Portable Emulation via Custom Firmware and Pandora Batter
2. RPGs

Since I fall in the latter and there are lists already out for PS2, PS3, and DS, I've decided to do one for the PSP as its basically PS1.5 and that many of the games are reminiscent of the great classics I enjoyed on the original Playstation.

If you find the lists below useful, check out these lists as well.

Final Fantasy Tactics is one glaring omission from that list, as is Star Ocean 2 (though to be fair that hasn't come out yet, but it's 'out enough' if you follow my meaning). Tales of Eternia and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth are the other absentees- and they're just the ones on my 'owned' list. Also, I think Oblivion's been cancelled, which is a bummer of epic proportion.

Don't get me wrong though, this is a worthy project, I for one love PSP RPGs. :)

Riviera the Promised Land is also missing from the list.

Gurumin isn't an RPG. It's an action/adventure like Zelda. Awesome game though.

You missed Generation of Chaos, which is odd because you listed the sequel.

Where's Jeanne D'Arc?

Then there's Lord of the Rings Tactics.

You also missed Puzzle Quest.

Pirates and the two Metal Gear Ac!d games are borderline cases.

I didn't think of Jeanne D'arc and I own the game. Currently at work so I was just thinking off the top of my head while working. Now that you mention it though, Wild ARMs XF, best RPG on the PSP is missing, also.

Unfortunately, Tales of Eternia was released in Europe and the list is US only. Sorry. But I am a bit jealous of the fact, it and Breath of Fire III came over to your part of the world, completely ignoring fans here in the states. :(

Like I said, it was a rough draft. Didn't expect to hit all the nails in one swing. Besides, I believe half the fun in building these lists is getting everyone to contribute and take part in something they enjoy. ;)

You missed everyone's favorites:

Harvest Moon A Boy and A Girl
Innocent Life A Futuristic Harvest Moon

I have not been able to convince myself to buy these yet...

Disgaea?

It would be cool to see a list of import RPG's playable in English. There are a tone of imports on ebay...

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness! Absolutely! I mean, if you're going to have FF:Tactics, Jean d'Arc and Wild Arms XF, you MUST have Disgaea!

And don't forget the Phantasy Star games in the Sega Genesis Collection!

Don't know about the Harvest Moons though... Are they really RPGs? Or are they just lame? My daughter loves all of them, so we own them all on GB, DS and PSP, but I just can't bring myself to play them... Weeding the garden? Milking the cow? geeze... No Grand Foozle to discombobulate means no interest from moi...

I love Jean D'Arc, Brave Story, Puzzle Quest, the FF remakes and Wild Arms... FFVII:CC was good too... I don't know that the Untold Legends, XMen Legends, Marvel:UA or Justice League games belong there, tho'... those are all more Dungeon Crawlers to my mind - not very much the classic RPG or Tactical RPG style...

I've been trying to find a copy of Dungeon Maker for a fair price for ages - having a hell of a time of it, too...

The only imports I can think with English text are the ones released in Europe (i.e. Tales of Eternia and BoF III) and possibly Korea (don't know for certain if game there are translated to English). So, doubt there are that many to list. If that's what you're assuming?

I know that Tales of Eternia for PSX is the same version in both US and PAL territories. The PSP version is the exact same version as well, just widescreen.

I'm assuming the same with BoF3, but I only own the PSX version and have yet to play the PSP version.

Disgaea 2 is actually being ported to the PSP as well. It's not here yet, but we all know that crappy game will be here one day. The Disgaea games and pretty much any tactical RPG NIS makes is a joke.

Yeah you need to list the European exclusives, since PSP is region free. Just can either makes a separate smaller list or just list EU next to the date like I did with the DS list.

Breath Of Fire III is identical to the PSone version and is pretty cheap on ebay. If you love RPG's i'd get it (it's my favorite RPG for the PSone)

Wasn't sure if any of the Japanese releases had English support.

Silverfall - I believe this is an Australian release and is in English...

Poofta!
01-04-2009, 04:45 PM
yeah i think you absolutely must list Tales of Eternia, Breath of Fire III and Silverfall (if at least under a seperate heading). any RPG fan looking at this list will definitely go for the first 2, they are amazing games and fully in english (i cannot attest to the quality of Silverfall).

you also forgot the Harvest Moon title(s?)
as well as the fact that the Genesis Collection has Phantasy Stars on it, and EA Replay has teh (horrible) Ultima 7 from SNES. any completist will definitely consider these.


edit: a seller on ebay right now is selling Silverfall (new) for psp for 21$ shipped. this is a very good price for this game since it usually goes for 35-50$. he has 3 left (i just bought one).

That's a good point. With PSP region-free, why limit to English games outside the US? Why I've added a list of Japanese imports for those who are interested in extending their library beyond our shores.

Doubt it. Digitally distributed games (PSN, Xbox Live Arcade, VC, etc.) to me are considered on "separate" consoles as they're on different mediums (i.e. UMD as opposed to digital data). But it does warrant some thought and possibly something to do later down the line. I'll stick to the UMD side...for now. ;)

Besides that, if you wanted to include digital copies of games, you could add every PS1 RPG released... I've played Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX on my PSP thanks to CFW, and I loved every minute of it! (well, except for the flipping back and forth with different rips of VIII changing ID #s, because it still hangs here and there, but it was playable, and I did get through it!) And I've played Metal Gear Solid on it twice, too... Anyway, you should probably draw the line at UMDs for the list...

yeah i think you absolutely must list Tales of Eternia, Breath of Fire III and Silverfall (if at least under a seperate heading). any RPG fan looking at this list will definitely go for the first 2, they are amazing games and fully in english (i cannot attest to the quality of Silverfall).

you also forgot the Harvest Moon title(s?)
as well as the fact that the Genesis Collection has Phantasy Stars on it, and EA Replay has teh (horrible) Ultima 7 from SNES. any completist will definitely consider these.


edit: a seller on ebay right now is selling Silverfall (new) for psp for 21$ shipped. this is a very good price for this game since it usually goes for 35-50$. he has 3 left (i just bought one).

Got Silverfall from UK for about $13. There are plenty of UK sellers selling it for about this price. Just be careful of shipping...

I've thought Rezel Cross looked interesting as soon as I saw it. Too bad we never saw a release. I don't get any text heavy games unless they're in English. I bought two Japanese RPGs and I wasn't very entertained even though one did have pretty good gameplay. The only time I played a RPG in Japanese and enjoyed it is when SNES emulation first started and I played FF5.

*edit*

While looking at the list just now. I noticed Prinny Can I Really Be the Hero and Dissidia Final Fantasy being there. Even those are originally RPG series, the games themselves aren't RPG titles.

Prinny is definitely not an RPG as it's a platformer. However, supposedly, on Dissidia, there is an option to play the game menu based where you tell your character to either attack(and it being ai controlled) or to retreat. If you asked me it wouldn't really feel RPG like, but I've never done it so I dunno.

It's well worth getting hold of if you can find a copy - it's one of the best RPGs on the system for sure...

Anyway, this is a great list... A quick check against my own database shows that I'm only seven games away from having a complete collection of PSP RPGs; a worthy goal if every I encountered one! ;)

The last few I need to pick up are:

Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War (UFO Interactive, 12/9/08)
Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner (Atlus, 2/19/07) - got it! 12-FEB-09
Riviera the Promise Land (Atlus, 7/11/07) - got it! 04-FEB-09
Star Ocean: Second Evolution (Square Enix, 1/20/09)
Tales of Eternia (Ubisoft, 2/10/06) - got it! 01-FEB-09
Vahalla Knights 2 (Xseed, 10/1/08)
Warriors of the Lost Empire (UFO Interactive, 12/13/07) - got it! 05-FEB-09

Never really a big fan of review sites. I'm a firm believer that we are our own critic and we know what we like despite what others may think.

But if you need some advice on what to get and what to avoid, I'll be glad to give my two cents.

Ys: Ark of Napishtim: Didn't play the PSP version, but if its anything like its PS2 port, then its a solid game. Colorful, vibrant, and fun to play.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions: Need I say more?

Legend of Heroes: Tear of Vermillion: Story is good. But the gameplay leaves something to be desired and that the text looks like what the google translator threw up from a bad hangover. Unless you can forgive a LOT of grammar mistakes that'll make any elementary teacher cry, then don't get this game.

Legend of Heroes: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch: BLAND. It's the only word I describe this game. Gameplay's your basic turn-based combat. Story doesn't really stand out much. They did improve the text from the first though. Not too bad, not too good, just...bland. A title for RPG beginner but they're better games to fill those shoes (i.e. Dragon Quest VIII).

This one has caught my eye on the shelves - it's budget priced at $19.99 around here, and I'm sorely tempted to give it a try... From what I've read, whether or not you would consider it an RPG probably depends on how you feel about Puzzle Quest. Puzzle Quest is a great puzzle game wrapped in an entertaining story mode, and from what I can gather, Neverland Card Battles is a decent card battle/strategy game mix wrapped in a decent story mode, so if you think Puzzle Quest qualifies, I think this one should too...

Alright, they have it in Japan, but does anyone know if Persona is expected to be released in the States?

Depends on how profitable (remember Atlus is a business) the game will be. They've released titles in Japan that haven't reached here in US (i.e. Devil Summoner, Princess Crown (My friend is eagerly waiting to be translated cause he can't understand the story in the walkthroughs. :LOL: )). I'm surprised they brought over Hammerin' Hero (though nothing wrong with a platformer) instead one of the their popular niche titles, but the DS is outselling the PSP and makes it the "better" bet.

Getting hungry...will finish thought process later.

Back from lunch....

Persona - Persona 3, P3 FES, and P4 sales all totaled at least 1.2 million and 420,000 units for the original on the PS in japan only. There's shouldn't be much incentive for Atlus NOT to be bring it to the states. Although the PS1 and PS2 has greater market penetration.

Devil Summoner - The 2nd Devil Summoner for the PS2 coming to our shores may decide for Atlus whether to bring this long awaited original a US release.

Princess Crown - I'm surprised why this game is still in Japan. It's the predecessor to the cult classic: Odin Sphere. I would think having its sequel reached Greatest Hits status in the states, Atlus rethink about Crown for the states.

Growlancer - Up in the air. Generations put Working Designs out to pasture and Heritage of War didn't perform well as it should. So, there's a good chance this game is stuck in the Land of the Rising Sun for now. Nothing is set in stone yet.

Bear in mind, for every PSP user, there's TWO DS users. And that's just ONE factor going against PSP JRPGs in US. RPG aren't very high on the "majority interest" for US gamers. Jeanne D'Arc number sold lower than Madden and on par with World Series of Poker on the PSP. The people, time, and resources to translate RPG as they are usually text-intensive.

Not sure if anyone knows about it as it was originally released two weeks ago.

Ys 1 and 2 being remade for PSP and Ys 7 is going to be on the PSP. Good news is that Ys 7 is its own game and isn't a port of a PC version. The Ys 7 info is actually older, but it wasn't announced for any system previously. Here's hoping ATLUS gets some sortof following from releasing the DS version of Ys 1 and 2 and then decides they'll port 1 and 2 and 7 for the PSP.

I've heard from a friend who owns the game that the load times are pretty bad. Another game that NIS brought over here had some pretty terrible load times too(Spectral Souls.) I think it's just the fact that the company is pushing out pretty shoddy ports as they really don't care about the gamer over raking in some quick cash(the least they could do would be clean everything up to fix load times, even if the developer is the reason for that problem.)

I'm in the same boat. I think I'll try Persona when the PSP remake comes out. I'd like to play the others, but PS2 seems to go for too much and the first part wasn't even released in the US. Maybe that's they there's no PS2 remake annouced for the US?

I'd personally ignore both Persona and Persona for the PSP. The original is decent, but how long it takes to get through a single battle is ridiculous.

They fixed the problem with the PSP version but the PSP version has another problem. Persona PSP has some awful music. I'd rather listen to "battle music" Not some homo erotic pop music that doesn't even sound good during battle. Also alot of the other music blows. The least they could have did was just raise the quality and remixed the previous tracks.

Same boat with Solertia....I'm happy the PSP gets another Persona game that'll eventually become states bound, but not the kind of news I'd like to hear at this point. Nothing against P3, there's 50 or so other RPGs Japan-bound I'm eagerly awaiting to hear a US date. Still wondering when Atlus will release Ys I&II or Ys VII.

BTW, Atlus is releasing the original P1 and P2 for Playstation on PSN. Why wait for the P2 remake later when you can download soon?

i was comparing this list to my personally drafted one and the only thing jumping at me is the lack of Dungeons & Dragons Tactics on your list. i wouldnt have mentioned otherwise, but you list LOTR: Tactics so i am just curious why you left it out. (i considered it as an rpg on my list).

im proud to say im missing 9 RPGs from your master list (trying to have every rpg on the console) and 10 from my list (guess which, lol).

Oh the game is a blast! The music is amazing and the characters are funny. The gameplay is most certainly fresh but Princess 30 is a shooter, Evil Lord 30 is a RTS, and Hero 30 is kind of an RPG like puzzler.

None of it is a true RPG though.

there never was. daria made a thread about her 81 psx rpgs. she says its all of them (linked at the OP of this thread). personally ive been way too lazy to rebuke or support her count. for some reason i seem to think i have some that she doesnt and she considers some rpgs that i dont.

I still can't wait for all that Falcom goodness.

Usually I'm skeptical when Falcom games are brought stateside. Ys I & II on the DS was... ummmm... not good IMO. Then there were the Bandai Legend of Heroes localizations that were... less than stellar. Xseed however, has proved themselves time and time again for me.

I'm hoping that these are much better PC ports than Ys 6 was, although the PSP version was miles better than the PS2 version. Hopefully they work out all the load times as well.

Anyone else pick up Ys7 regular or limited edition?

I purchased the limited edition, don't know when I'm going to be able to play it. Mainly because I'm not sure if Prometheus is going to let it bypass the firmware check like other games on higher firmware. I'm at 5.00m33-6. Don't want to upgrade so hope Prometheus works or I'll have to wait on another hack or rip and patch the game which is time consuming.

Prinny is very good. I'd say it ranks among some of the best platformers of all time. NIS should keep making platformers as they seem really good at it. Prinny 2 looks great but still hasn't made its way over here, might not.
