Half Minute Hero - best game on the psp for me. kind of an arcade action rpg.
Growlanser : wayfarer of time - brilliant branching rpg with a fairly unique battle system
Hexyz Force - rpg where you can fast forward battles
Mega Man Maverick Hunter - remake of megaman x with a cool new mode where you play as vile, which is lots of fun
Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble - run around a town on a school trip to try and beat up the strongest people from other schools or have fun on the trip with your friends. Not really sure how to genre it. simulation/action?
Star Ocean 2 & BOF3 are good if you didn't play them on the psx. BOF3 is only available in europe though
For those saying that Trails In The Sky is great, please elaborate...I have it on my Vita, I've played a couple hours, and it seems okay. What makes it essential?
Horde is unarguably the most underrated psp game. No one ever recommends it not because it's no good, but because no one has played it. Dragon wrecking shit, so fun.
You said the magic words. If you haven't played Trails in the Sky, you haven't played every good JRPG that's worth playing.
Until everyone that has a shred of interest in JRPGs has at least tried Trails in the Sky for themselves, it REMAINS underrated. Even on GAF. Where it is rated higher than anywhere else.
Can you play it on Vita?
Can you play it on Vita?
Persona 3 is an absolute must. Don't even think about it, just forget everything else and play that because that'll last you the equivalent of all the games listed if you complete it to the end.
All Persona fans are converts OP. And most people that play Persona games called Persona 3 or Persona 4 seem to stick to being fans like glue.
These are great but hardly underrated or unknown.Get Patapon 2, get back into it (give it a little time) play one of the best games ever created (in my opinion, seriously so good, I think 2 is MUCH better than the first)
I HIGHLY recommend Dissidia. Holy crap I had so much fun with that game. The ultimate tribute to Final Fantasy, and actually good!
Any of the brilliant SRPG's. Wild Arms XF, Jeanne D' Arc, Disgaea, Tactics Ogre, etc etc etc
Crisis Core is very good if you're an action RPG fan.
God of War games were amazing.
Killzone Liberation!
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite!
Man I loved the PSP. Seriously one of the best / underated libraries.
ClaDun
Gladiator Begins
These are great but hardly underrated or unknown.
Probably in the top 10 best selling psp games.

Thread's over. We have a winner!
Now go to PSN and start buying copies to support translation of the sequels!
Yes.
Yes.
I'll repost this:
Carnage Heart EXA
Brave Story is a cute little JRPG that doesn't get much love and is worth checking out. I don't think it's on PSN though sadly
