I'll second Golden Sun, it may be hard to trak down the cartridges, but they will be worth it. One of my favorite rpg franchises. There is one on DS that is good, but the first two are much better.Souplex said:Depending on what model of DS you have, there's some good ones on GBA.
I like Final Fantasy Tactics: Advanced, and I've heard good things about Golden Sun.
If you want to get into the really quirky stuff, I recommend Boktai.
This, very much so. While you will miss out on one game because it's only on the Vita, the games are great. The stories are simple but good, and the combat is fun. Ys Seven is my favorite so far, with an awesome track, story is good, and the characters are nice, and it was the only one made for the PSP specifically. As far as Legend of Heroes, it is great. It has been out for a while for the PSP, so many of us have played it. It's more story based than Ys, but it has a great story, great cast, the combat is pretty good, and once you beat it, you will be craving for the second game to be released.WhiteTigerShiro said:The Ys series is worth looking into. Ys I & II both use a sort of "bump combat" where you ram into enemies instead of using an attack button, so they're kind of fast-paced Action/RPGs. After that is Ys III (which has a remake named Oath at Felghana). The series has seen a number of remakes and ports over the years (it originated on an old console you've likely never heard of back in the late 80's; I don't even remember its name), but you can get the most recent versions (including Ys Origins) on Steam.
On that note, the same team just released their latest RPG, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. It's new and I haven't bought it yet, so I can't personally vouch for it, but it's definitely a game you can't have played yet (unless you absolutely powered through it).

RandV80 said:I've never heard of this before until two days ago, when it should up on Steam! Not sure how the series goes but this one is called 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky', regular cost $20 but currently on sale for $17 for the next few days. From what I can tell they're planning on releasing the next one early next year, and depending on how well they sell they'll put the third one up as well.Dreiko said:The Legend of Heroes trilogy for the psp is great but not very well known. The first one consists of A Tear of Vermillion, Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch and finally Song of the Ocean.
It's more fantasy than strictly"medieval" but the fighting is done with medieval western weaponry and magic and stuff. There's also the newer Trails in the sky trilogy which due to how much text it has took a while to translate and is still being done. The first one should be on steam as well as psp and the second one is heading there soon. The third one will be a while though so I'd start with the first trilogy mentioned above.
Since I've never heard of it before this was a rather pleasant surprise for me, as my first thought seeing it on the Steam front page was why the heck are they charging $20 for an RPG Maker game? Love seeing more legit JRPG's on Steam though!

Shame my PS3 dies on me. Maybe this will be an incentive to buy a new one.Dreiko said:I see people mentioned the excellent Ys series and I feel obliged to mention they're by the same developer that makes Legend of Heroes.

Ar Nosurge hype coming out next month. Can't wait!
The patches doubled the FPS on my system (GTS 450, about 4 1/2 years old and definitely lower end when it was released, 2gb ram, winXPsp3 32bit).Compatriot Block said:I've been playing on a decent/middle-class rig with a weaker processor, and while it can stutter a bit in town where there are tons of NPC's shouting at each other, it usually runs pretty well.Spiritmaster said:How intense are the system reqs. for that game?

The combat is also turn-based, which helps significantly for people who might be pushing it.
