Schwaltzvald Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I was just responding to Arek who specifically asked for "PSP RPGs" not turn-based PSP RPGs. read my ninja edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brycepops Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Would count..? Never played any of them before so... The thing about Monster Hunter is that you NEED to have people to play with or you're not going to get 100% out of the game. A compatible wifi dongle and Xlink Kai solves that problem, though. Oh, and if you're going to go with MH, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 PSP RPGs.. no mention of Crisis Core? My standards for RPGs are incredibly high these days but CC was one of the best, most engrossing games I've played in a long time. Genuinely emotional story and KICK ASS music too. That game is pretty much a given Thanks for the recommendations. Definitely gonna check them out. Would love some non turn based recommendations as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Strife Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I liked Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure even though that is more of an action rpg. Also if you've never played it, could always try Breath of Fire III psp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 it's better than you'd think (as long as you don't mind cute out the ass) although they, arguably, used the best track in the OST for that trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 it's better than you'd think (as long as you don't mind cute out the ass) Chances are I'll be getting it as it looks quite entertaining. Heck it's a great contrast to the rather dismal folks I see as I await for the train to head towards work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Mighty Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Speaking of Turn-based RPGs, it's a damn shame we'll never see another Shadow Hearts game. I loved that series and think it's one of the most original series in RPGs in a long, long time. Agreed. Shadow Hearts 2 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

Schwaltzvald Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Surprisingly I forgot to mention the Persona PSP edition. Mana Khemia and I so far are not getting along so well... What troubling you there? Edit: I just read your message so yeah... Okay on the menu screen where you see ur stats you'll see an option called a "Grow Book", open that and you'll see the system on how they "level up" so to speak. Press Triangle Button to open it up if I'm recalling it correctly. (I actually would remember more if I was playing it right now but it was either triangle button or select) I did say one will rage about how that's done, but as you get used to it you'll feel comfortable soon enough.

Schwaltzvald Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 oh yeah Persona PSP is pretty "oldschool" Old school indeed. Was it just me or didn't Persona: Revelations on the PS1 felt more ominous compared to its remake counterpart..? If not that, there's this late 80's/early 90's feeling to it. For example the seemingly ominous/80's feeling I'm referring to here Back then --> and now --> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D: It takes ff10's leveling system and makes it more convoluted than it needs to be. Farming reagents is going to be a serious pain in the ass. And a question about synthing. What is that wheel about? I think I am supposed to match the color with what the reagent I am using *Carrot with green,* but I could be totally wrong.

Flash Strife Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think in Mana Khemia 2 you have to pick the color before the cards color on the wheel for it to give you a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming reagents is going to be a serious pain in the ass. And a question about synthing. What is that wheel about? I think I am supposed to match the color with what the reagent I am using *Carrot with green,* but I could be totally wrong. I actually found it rather simple really but in any rate. Farming reagents are not necessarily bad or, even necessary to a degree, Often times if you pretty much go after everything that moves and can be cut quickly you usually gather enough in one trip alone to do the basic necessities. You can eventually have members of your party do gathering on a daily basis once you are taught about a task sheet no one tells you about. I may make it sound complicated but it's easy... As for the wheel, I refer to it as an elemental wheel as it can determine the quality of the item used during synthesis. Sometimes you want to reinforce an item with a certain element and sometimes you want to "weaken" an item to give certain properties to a finished product. For example anything that refers to explosive or fire based properties I would have it land on the fire element to strengthen it. Other times I would select the other elements on the wheel to weaken to simply change it altogether. Just experiment with it and you'd be surprised in what properties may appear for the finished product. I've had two replicas of one weapon but both provided different uses. One gave stronger attack power but also a boost spell, the other was not as powerful for physical combat but have a very strong offensive spell simply based on the properties of the items I used. Oh yeah I have recommended you to try getting the best scores on assignments, that way you can try out the "jobs" available during "free time" which often send you out to either find items or kill bounties that would not only reward you cash but sometimes special items or recipes early on in the game. After that, if you decide to, you can strengthen the bonds between party members to another important purpose. all in one "week". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I just realized I forgot to explain the elements on that wheel Red = Fire Blue = Water Yellow = Earth Green = Wind Grey = neutral/metal(?) [i believe it means no element/neutral rather than metal] Also for certain items, if you switch out the first or second ingredient for another one, it can sometimes cause a totally new item to be possibly made.

I missed that ominous/80's feeling... Seriously I missed that horrific feeling of the ambiance that was in Persona: Revelations. Another example for those that don't quite get what I mean.

Schwaltzvald Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have some doubts that these games will ever be on the PSP but then came Persona 3 PSP edition... Whether that's been a smart idea or not is up for debate; and imo not really... and , both being action rpgs; essentially action games but with rpg elements. Currently only available on the PS2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Strife Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 and , both being action rpgs; essentially action games but with rpg elements. lol bought both of these earlier today on ebay as a set. Already had part 2 but I could always sell it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
