I realize this video is over a month old now, but I just wanted to mention that you can fix the weird text display issues when emulating Jeanne d'Arc by putting the original PSP fonts in your PPSSPP folder (actually some subfolder but I forget which). That fixes things like "AttacC" => "Attack" and makes it look perfect.
@@TheGamingShelf Haha, a challenge -- I like it! Though I don't want to make a #1-20 ranking, if I were to add 10 more games to this list to make a top 20, I would add: 1.

Oh man, I totally forgot about Jeanne D'Arc. I loved that game back in the day. Thank you for the reminder! I'm going to have to go back and play it again.
I actually wish that the visual novel cursor interface was an option in other Persona games for days where I just want to zoom through the day to day stuff.
Loved Ys VII and Crisis Core. Played them multiple times when I still had my PSP Go. I hope P3 gets a console port or remake since I never had the chance to play it.

I was not a fan of the PSP but lately with all the games that were just exclusive for that console I kinda really wanted one, actually mainly to play the Valkyria Chronicles 3, beside gameplay, the story was the best out of all the others, I would like it if the 2 and 3 would be released in other platforms like the 1 and 4; the franchise is one of my favorites of the TRPG kind

loved this video. i own most of these and the ones i don't are games that i have wanted to own awhile. all such great choices. I let out an audible sound of joy when I saw Lunar haha
I love Hexyz Force so much. Easy 20 hour adventure that does nothing wrong but nothing too special. Just a neat little package I’d easily play over and over
Though disgaea 2 is nowhere in this list, i highly recommend it. Good story, hilarious writing, great VA and cool music. The character creation portion offers thousands of hours of not really repetitive gameplay, most definitely if you are min maxing.
Love this, Taylor! I enjoyed the silly stuff but also the list was great too! Definitely a few on there I gotta play on my Vita FOR SURE! Great stuff!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I heard that some people don't like the battle theme of Trails in the Sky FC (Sophisticated Fight). The music slaps and it was actually the one that really got me into the Trails series.
I played the Persona 3 back in the PS2, to manage the effects of the stamina system in the dungeons I used to have my characters in a well rested status first then kept exploring regardless of having all party members in the sick status. They will be less effective in battle, but if you remember to save the game and heal everyone prior to each boss you will be somewhat fine.
@Laís Carvalho Quando algum personagem da sua party te chama para ir pra dungeon significa que está muito empolgado para batalhar, assim vai ter o status "great" dando mais críticos. Por outro lado, quando você seleciona um personagem e ele não quer ir, ele vai ter o status de "cansado" , sendo menos eficiente nas batalhas.
@@vitordossantos6747 Sim, eu deixava o meu personagem principal descansado e aproveitava quando algum personagem estava empolgado para ir na dungeon, mas quando eles ficavam cansados eu tocava o fodasse e continuava explorando para subir de nivel sem avançar o calendário.
I had a PSP when I was younger and it was my very second console, first being the gameboy advanced. When I had a PSP I was like super young and didnt know what games were good. And thats where i dipped my toes into JRPGs and I think seeing some of them here is a nice throwback to when I was still a kid figuring out what I should play.
@@TheGamingShelf I think the very first JRPG on the PSP would be Kingdom hearts: Birth by Sleep. The very first game I got when I got my psp because I saw my cousin play it and I thought it looked cool, that's when I knew I was going to jump into the deep end. Second game after that is FF7 Crisis Core, I never finished the game cause I was a pretty dumb kid that didn't understand how the limit breaks worked or how I should've been arranging equipment and materia. Speaking of, I really want to finish it now that I'm older
I got my psp when I was like 8 years old but I never invested in it because of how young I was lol. I actually still have it and it still works though so I do want to give some of these a try!
@@TheGamingShelf I really want to try trails in the sky honestly! I've been meaning to get into the trails series for a while now and it seems like that's the best starting point!
@@TheGamingShelf Definitely Ys games are at the top. The God of War games Lunar Silver Star Harmony Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles Resistance: Retribution Crisis Core Jeanne d'Arc FF Tactics War of the Lions Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins. Daxter Just to name a few.
I probably never would have gotten a PSP if I wasn't following the Kingdom Hearts series across every flipping platform. One game I never had a chance to play was Valkyrie Profile. Shame it never got ported. Have you ever tried it?
of all the mobile port based PC ports square enix has done FF Tactics is the only one I would of been ok with its basically the definative edition of that game its just the psp version without slow down and more camera control It does have this filter on sprites and character portraits but the sprites look about the same and it actually improves the portraits imo we never got hexyz force in the UK but I look foward to emulating it one day (also the jeane d'arc joke got a very good laugh out of me)
@@TheGamingShelf Got up to like the third last boss (and I had to play the OG!) and gave up a decade ago but never played it online. Level 5's probably biggest misfire. Dark Cloud is one of my favourites though.
I'm casual as far as gamers go (which is Obi-Wan Kenobi compared to normies) and I just finished Lunar SSH. Super comfy JRPG and I even cried a few tears at the end. Overall a well worth playing game without too much effort.
Persona 3 still has the best story of the franchise in my opinion. was looking at some of these games for a playthrough on my channel + making HD textures for
I think if they take the team who worked on the new parts of p5r like the epilogue and overall character building for kasumi and doctor maruki and have them do persona 6.... The game could be amazing. He's just so incredibly human in his overall villainy and it's vastly different from most of the franchise. And since half of persona is about human relationships it makes sense to lean in that direction. Currently playing persona 3 FES and enjoying it! I don't see why everyone hates the dungeons so much and no one bitches about p4g boring ass dungeons though.
Ys games are fantastic... Ys 8 is my favourite action rpg ever... Now on ps4 i m playing Nayuta, another falcom arpg...was a psp game but a few people know it because was only in Japanese (for ps4, switch, pc it s a remaster with English subtitles) . It s great. Psp was a great console... I played a ton of games on it... Bought then a ps vita and even if i think is a good console (hardware and screen were great) it has much less games than psp...
I'd argue against having p3p being the 'way' into p3 in general because of the lack of cutscenes and the inability to move freely. P3fes takes that cake. I guess when it comes to p3 it really is just a case of "pick your poison."
After I decided to get into psp strategy rpg, I am craving for more strategy rpg that is close to Yggdra Union in terms of careful planning and minor objectives. I prefer something that doesnt rely much on grinding.
@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 final fantasy tactics patched version (a patch which makes the game significantly less grindy and adds more qol features)
So im pretty much grasping at straws here but does anyone remember the name of a game: It was a RPG game where you could be like a summoner, or a fighter and you used orbs?? or something? It was very dystopian, lots of ruins and stuff. I remember playing the shit out of it running around and just killing stuff but i can't remember the name of it for the life of me. Ever. I'd kill to know what the game was now, atleast know its name.

Is “FF Tactics: War of the Lions” not on Steam? I know it was on iOS for a while, but maybe because the PSP is ridiculously easy to emulate that SE hasn’t releases it in PC yet.
I want to like Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's just one of those SE games where every character looks stupid or childish. But I love the aesthetic and UI.
I didn't like crisis core (the slot machines, zack annoyed me, and genesis existing), and never played kh. Awesome list otherwise. I would say p3p(my introduction to the series), and trails in the sky (though played the pc version) would be my favorites

Lots of these games are on other systems!
Is “FF Tactics: War of the Lions” not on Steam? I know it was on iOS for a while, but maybe because the PSP is ridiculously easy to emulate that SE hasn’t releases it in PC yet.
Sadly it’s not :( It was on the Nvidia leak though so give it time. It’s coming!
Did not expect to get spoiled on P3 :(
Yeah I probably shouldn't have said that, my bad >_< But...you don't know WHO.
At least u don’t know who like me
@@TheGamingShelf I also got spoiled on Persona 4 by some youtube comments lol. Maybe I should stop watching videos about games I haven't played.
I’m sorry 😆 I will be way more careful for future lists!
very interesting video
Thanks Andris!
I want to like Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's just one of those SE games where every character looks stupid or childish.
But I love the aesthetic and UI.
Have you seen triangle strategy? Might be more up your alley.
@@TheGamingShelf hey thanks!
Trails in the Sky at 6th place?! How dare you sir!
FYI Lunar was originally on Sega CD, not PS1 & Saturn
Thank you!
there is PSP which its battery doesnt explode which is psp go since it has internal battery just like vita
Great for psp jrpg😄. Sad for price😣😥😲😭😢😤😷😓
Tales of Abyss should be here
It was never on the PSP as far as I know 🤔
@@TheGamingShelf my bad, I mean Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. I forgot
I didn't like crisis core (the slot machines, zack annoyed me, and genesis existing), and never played kh. Awesome list otherwise. I would say p3p(my introduction to the series), and trails in the sky (though played the pc version) would be my favorites
Both P3P and Sky FC are fantastic games. Have you played the rest of the Sky trilogy?
@@TheGamingShelf yes I have. After I discovered the series with cs, I went back to go through all the sky games
