Looking for some meaty games for my Vita, most Vita based titles outside of Uncharted are pickup and play.

Where should I go first?

[Midou]

Trails in the Sky?

[archnemesis]

Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a good choice. It's a pretty awesome action RPG.

[StuBurns]

Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection Dawg

[Nert]

Oh fun, another Vita thread :D

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together and Persona 3 Portable are both great.

It's actually a stealth PSP thread.

Thanks so far guys, quite a few titles I hadn't even heard of.

[ShadiWulf]

Valkyria Chronicles II works, but you have to download it through PS3, it isn't up on the Vita store from what I have heard.

[perfectnight]

Phantasy Star Portable 2
Cladunx2
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Crisis Core
Valkyria Chronicles II


I guess Trails in the Sky if you like really anime stuff.

[TheTowel]

Final Fantasy Tactics for a srpg. Replaying it now. Still pretty solid, just hate the camera angles.

[ShadiWulf]

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Cladunx2 Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Crisis Core I guess Trails in the Sky if you like really anime stuff.

PSP2 doesn't work on the Vita, sadly. Not that it matters.. hasn't been up on US PSN for a while now, just randomly disappeared.

[DyslexicAlucard]

Valkyria Chronicles II works, but you have to download it through PS3, it isn't up on the Vita store from what I have heard.

I don't think you can play it on the Vita if it isn't on the Vita store.

At least, that's the only way it makes sense.

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky is great! I also like Lunar Silver Star Harmony.

For strategy RPGs, Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions, Jeanne D'Arc, and Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together.

Persona 3 Portable is also pretty good.

You need a good sized memory stick for these obviously, but FF Tactics, Jeanne D'Arc, and Lunar have moderate file sizes.

EDIT: I forgot about the Ys games. They're also awesome and have generous file sizes.

[froliq]

Persona 2

[Syn23]

I've already gotten FF IV CC and I'll get Tactics Ogre soon.
Unfortunately Trails in the Sky is still 35€ in Europe. :(

[perfectnight]

PSP2 doesn't work on the Vita, sadly. Not that it matters.. hasn't been up on US PSN for a while now, just randomly disappeared.

awww :(

Oh well my copy of the game is physical so I would have had to buy it on PSN anyways.

[TheExodu5]

Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection Dawg

I really want to get it...but fuck, I really hate the damage numbers in all the recent portable FF entries. It's like they pop up at 5fps. It annoys me.

Persona 3 Portable gets my vote.

Disgaea 2 if you want a really good grind-a-thon.

[Audioboxer]

Intrigued by Trails in the Sky, hadn't heard of it. But, fuuuuck, Sony, £27.99 on the store. smh.

Got excited to see it was in a bundle with Persona 2 which I've never played, but that's £47.99!!!

[ShadiWulf]

I don't think you can play it on the Vita if it isn't on the Vita store. At least, that's the only way it makes sense.

It works, at least according to this guy

[BigDes]

Breath of Fire III if you can get the PSN version

[TheExodu5]

Play Persona 3 before Persona 2. Much more approachable.

[Like the hat?]

just started up fft:wotl for the first time. the text is blurry but other than that it looks great on vita, and it's only $10.

[Coxy]

Trails in the Sky
Mana Khemia
Phantasy Star Portable 2
Ys: The Oath in Felghana

yeah that'll keep ya busy for a while

[P90]

Phantasy Star Portable 1
Persona 3P
FF VII:CC
Gurumin

Note sure about whether they are on Vita/PSN.

[Audioboxer]

Play Persona 3 before Persona 2. Much more approachable.

Played through a large chunk of 3 on the PS2, was really good. Never completed it though.

[Kazerei]

Final Fantasy IV - If you've never played FFIV, this is a good solid version to get.

Persona 3 Portable - Amazing game, will keep you occupied for a long time.

Ys Seven - Really fun action RPG. Beating things up is really satisfying.

Tactics Ogre - Gameplay is very similar to FFT but this is more fast-paced and player-friendly.

Valkyria Chronicles II - Gameplay is very unique, combines strategy and third-person shooting.

[Eusis]

It works, at least according to this guy https://twitter.com/#%21/uncyrus/sta...99282227511297

There are LOADS of games that will copy over but aren't officially listed. Only a few of them aren't, and I think they are on the Japanese store so it's probably a matter of time here anyway.

[StuBurns]

Crisis Core isn't on PSN, nor is KH:BbS, but no one has suggested that yet.

[Like the hat?]

FF VII:CC

I really wish this was on the PSN store :( I've wanted to play it for a while.

[froliq]

Intrigued by Trails in the Sky, hadn't heard of it. But, fuuuuck, Sony, £27.99 on the store. smh. Got excited to see it was in a bundle with Persona 2 which I've never played, but that's £47.99!!!

They haven't been out that long in Europe, but still Persona 3, Valkyria Chronicles 2 and FF4 are about the same price :(

[spats]

Crisis Core is such a great game. Damn you S-E for not putting it up on the store.

[Sir_Crocodile]

Half Minute Hero <- best game on the psp, insane arcadey rpg
Wild Arms XF
Tactics Ogre
Hexyz Force (fast forward battles should be in every rpg)
Breath of Fire 3(if you haven't played it on the psx)
Ys 7
Ys 1/2 Chronicles
Ys Oath in Felghana
Jeanne D'Arc
Star Ocean: First Departure(if you haven't played it on the psx)
Star Ocean: Second Evolution(if you haven't played it on the psx)
Trails in the Sky

[Brettison]

Ironically this is one of the games my best friend and I originally wanted to play at the Vita launch since neither of us had PSPs. We were crushed when we figured this out!

PS: Persona 3 is awesome!

[Audioboxer]

They haven't been out that long in Europe, but still Persona 3, Valkyria Chronicles 2 and FF4 are about the same price :(

Yeah :/

Might have to rethink these purchases for now and save them for later. Thought I'd be paying £10-20.

[Goli]

All of Square Enix's PSP RPGs availiable on PSN.
Also The 3rd Birthday and Dissidia 012.

[Volcynika]

You definitely want TitS on your Vita.

[Dragonzord]

[Gilgamesh]

You definitely want TitS on your Vita.

I want tits on everything

[opticalmace]

edit: nm

[injurai]

I want tits on everything

you wouldn't download some tits...

[Audioboxer]

Ys Seven is only £11.99, that is a bit better!

[sixteen-bit]

Persona Triple Portable
Tactics Ogre

[Tattooth]

Half Minute Hero <- best game on the psp, insane arcadey rpg

Not sure about the US, but on the UK PSN this is on sale. It's only like £6 if I'm not mistaken.

[SpaceBridge]

What's the reason behind the lack of Crisis Core on PSN?

[Snuggler]

Just bought Tactics Ogre. Sounds like I'll enjoy it quite a bit. I want the Disgaea games, but I might wait for Disgaea 3 Vita instead.

[Toki767]

What's the reason behind the lack of Crisis Core on PSN?

Licensing crap doesn't include digital release in the contract.

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

*looks at list*

.....no Unlosing Ranger love makes me sad. :(

[Dark Schala]

We had a wonderful thread about this a few months ago, though I don't think much of the RPGs are on PSN, and I'm not sure about the Vita-compatibility. However, it's worth a look!

I bought a new PSP! So where are all these great RPGs people are talking about?

Quoting my first post in that thread:

Alright OP, you've got lots of homework to do. -Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky -Jeanne d'Arc -Brave Story: New Traveler -Crimson Gem Saga -Half Minute Hero -Valkyria Chronicles 2 -Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together -Ys I&II Chronicles -Ys: The Oath in Felghana -Ys Seven -Persona 2 Portable -Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions -FFIV: Complete Collection Like Peff said, this thread should be your syllabus.

[GK86]

Jeanne D'Arc.

[Audioboxer]

Thanks again, picking up Ys Seven, either FF Tactics or Tactics Ogre (never played either*), and FFIV Complete. I want Person 3, but I'll wait for a sale.

*Tactical RPGs are not my bread and butter, have always avoided them, but where better to start with one of these titles... Now, WHICH ONE?

[Snapshot King]

Valkyria Chronicles II works, but you have to download it through PS3, it isn't up on the Vita store from what I have heard.

I can confirm this. Also, it's like 40 bucks on PSN normally, but if you search on PS3 for Valkyria, you'll see a bundle thats 22.49 thats the game and all the DLC. It'll transfer over onto the vita no problem.
