Topic: Traditional RPGs on the PSP?

Hey, I'm looking for some more "Normal" RPGs for the PSP, meaning nothing like Crisis Core or Kingdom Hearts, you know, all those breaks from the norm. I just a standard roleplaying experience on the PSP. Anybody have any suggestions?

Breath of Fire 3 might be worth a look, but i've never played it so can't say for sure.

Breath of Fire III is at the top of my list, but sadly it's only out in Europe and is a $10 shipping charge out of my reach.

I'd like to give Breath of Fire a go, if I ever do I'll let you know.

Have you tried Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions? I hear it's outstanding, though I've not been able to get into it yet.

I do have FF Tactics, yes. I don't really have any intention of playing it until I play and complete Tactics Ogre, though (it's a long story).

Dude, FF Tactics is AWESOME! The best game to dawn the Final Fantasy name in my opinion. Dont overlook this game, its fantastic.

I want to say I put around 150+ hrs into it and have picked it up a few time for a few battles here and then even still.

Don't forget PS1 Classics, of course (provided you have a decent-sized Memory Stick)...quite a few options that way.  Breath of Fire III should've been on there by now, really, but Capcom seems to be dragging its feet on PS1 Classics lately.

Anyway, for traditional RPG's on PSP, please see Brave Story: New Traveller.  I never got around to putting a LOT of time into it unfortunately, but it's very good if you like old-school RPG's.  Lunar: Silver Star Harmony may also be worth a look.

The PSP version of Breath of Fire III is available here in the PSP Essentials range so shouldn't be too expensive. I might pick it up at last...

Don't think we have Brave Story: New Traveller over here, but I Googled it and there seems to be a lot of positive talk about it online. Perhaps another one to pick up!

@James.... it is indeed a fantastic RPG and one of the best on PSone!

I haven't been able to find the umd, but Breath of Fire 3 is £7.99 on psn shop, I might pick it up while I wait for Kingdom Hearts and Valkyrie Chronicles 2 to come down in price.

By the way I just ordered MGS: Peacewalker from the UK.  I can't wait for it to arrive and hope it lives up to my expectations.

I forgot about Brave Story. It's too old to pick up in stores, but I'll still try to keep my eye out for it.

I'll believe it when I see it, which will be after I play and complete Tactics Ogre.

I ended up Picking up Hexyz Force, in case anyone's wondering. A fine game with two different stories to chose from. I chose the girl for the helluvit. It's slow to start, but it's getting better, and I've quite enjoyed my time with it so far. The pacing is actually brisk (I only meant slow to start as in the gameplay starts off pretty simple and easy, the story moves pretty fast), which is quite a refresher from what I've been playing. I think I made the right choice with this one. It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Looks like I'm late to the party...

You may want to check out Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. The whole series is solid but I liked the 3rd one best. It's on sale currently for $19.99 in the psn. Just an awesome RPG that will last a long time.

Can't go wrong with Hexy force though

@nathanuc1988.... an Atlus fan Join us in our Atlus Fan Thread here over on Nlife.

I'd recommend The Legend of Heroes series if you're looking for more traditional stuff.

I was wondering if anyone was gonna recommend them. Heard some really mixed things about 'em.
