Must Have PSP Action RPGs 

Which PSP RPG was your favourite?

00:17 God Eater Burst 02:05 Tales of the World Radiant Muthology 03:42 Half Minute Hero 05:17 Gurumin 06:40 Monster Hunter Freedom Unite 08:21 YS Seven 10:02 The 3RD Birthday 11:47 Crisis Core 13:39 Phantasy Stat Portable 2 15:21 Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Half Minute Hero is hilarious! I remember oneshotting a boss with a fly swatter, simply because the boss happened to be a literal fly monster. 😂😂

Mad I forgot about them at first, but the remasters of Star Ocean 1 and 2 on the psp are pure gold. I was associating them with the original consoles in my head at first.

Around now is probably a decent time to buy physical PSP games if you want to own and play on original hardware. Decent prices on most things right now, but it's old enough that prices could start going up in a few years.

No lie, i really love Rengoku 1 and 2. I know a lot of people hate it, but it was a lot of fun mixing weapons and just killing things aimlessly. PSP2Infinite is probably my favorite action rpg on the psp though. Fixed the major issues with PSP2 and made Forces usable.

YS Seven was my first JRPG as a teen and the game that made me love the genre.

I still own My PSP!! Its a Pearl White PSP 3000 model !!

Still own a modded PSP Go and it’s a lovely handheld for sure!

I played God Eater Burst very recently, it was in march i think and MAN that game is so good

God Eater Burst was one of the biggest pleasant surprises I found for the PSP, though I didn't play it until I had a Vita. It was my first MonHun style game and I found it's greater focus on story & less reliance on team multiplayer made it much more accessible to start with. I played through the whole game solo in Burst and had a blast playing through the game again with friends when it was re-released as God Eater Resurrection!! but on the other side of the spectrum was the 3rd Birthday. I am a big Parasite Eve fan and I hated the 3rd birthday. It had some good ideas and when things come together it can really feel exhilarating but the bulk of the game, particularly the 2nd half is marred with insane difficulty spikes & terrible checkpoint spacing which meant that you easily found yourself in situations where it was impossible to progress. If you didn't have a decent manual save file earlier on then you were basically screwed I forked out for the special edition when the game first game out and the UMD is now just sitting there, gathering dust...

I imported Radiant Mythology from Japan back when it was new and I was quite surprised that it came out in English some time after. I enjoyed being able to make my own character and I liked the improvements that the sequels made. I've only played the demo of Half-Minute Hero, but I like the fast pace of it. Ys Seven I enjoyed as well, and it's the first one in the series that I finished. I liked the gameplay and music a lot. Crisis Core I LOVED a lot! I generally don't like Final Fantasy that much, but this one drew me in. I've also played some of Phantasy Star Portable 2, at least a demo of it, but it was very fun! I liked how I made my character looked, though I haven't played much besides the demo and I still need to finish the first game. I didn't really like how you could only import your character's name from the first game or something like that. I also want to note that the game did come out in English, at least in North America. Though I think they did an updated version that was Japan only. Was that the version you were referring to when you said it was finally coming out completely in English? Birth by Sleep is also my favorite Kingdom Hearts game lol! I liked the story and being able to play as multiple characters.

Just play Yakuza 1 and 2 on my phone man is such a badass game best psp game I ever play so far

God eater burst absolutely rocks! Especially loved the final hannibal fight and the lead up to it

New upload, What a great way to start the week.

3rd birthday looks like they took the general idea of parasite eve and upgraded it. awesome.

I don't think Monster Hunter type games should really count, aside from equipment you don't actually have many RPG elements.

That 3rd birthday game looks stunning for PSP. I HAVE to check that game out

I don't know if it came first, but I've come to think of Monster Hunter as being its own genre, like shooters, RPGs, etc. You have a large map, that you can freely access, but it's separated into smaller load zones. You venture out from a hub, kill creatures, harvest their remains for resources that can be used to craft new weapons, while also looking for useful items in the maps. Change the details a little and this description fits Monster Hunter, God Eater, Bounty Hounds and about a dozen other PSP games. Any time I se a PSP game with the mini-map separated into load zones, I think "Oh look, it's another 'Monster Hunter" game."

Parabéns pelos vídeos são muito bons ,sou brasileiro e amo o seu canal conheci vários jogos desconhecidos por sua causa muito obrigado pelos vídeos seu canal é sensacional

You really posted this video and i got a psp today. That's crazy 💀

Every time i hear the intro music to these vids I do a little dance

God Eater was pretty much my introduction to the 'Monster hunter' type games, as there's really not alot of these type of games at all, its literally just this and MH itself that im aware of lmao

Love the Grandia II background music

One the best handheld of all time!

Seeing all these games that I played back then on my psp 1000 makes me lucky to get to experience these gems

i really like ys 7 story, even if a little thin. made me tear up a bit in the end so i think it shouldn't be disregarded

God Of War GOS and Kingdom Hearts BBS has better graphic than previous game series on ps2

No joke, I spent an entire summer playing Tales of the world and put about 600 hours into leveling all the classes. Also Gurumin has no right to slap as hard as it does. PSP really had some hidden gems

Love the Psp!

I I thought it was a video about good ARPGs on the PSP, but besides being good they have beautiful graphics!!!

Lord of Arcana was a cool one too !

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Freedom Unite were pleasant surprise after getting my hands on new PSP... gameplay loop was cool, then got stuck while trying to get to higher tier content, didn't grind enough I guess?

I love The 3rd Birthday, this game is top 5 easyli.

Maybe it's because I'm not a huge Parasite Eve fan or played the first 2 games for that matter, but I had a lot of fun with The 3rd Birthday and for a psp game the graphics were absoluty stunning.

I have played all of the games featured in this video at least once. Some more like God Eater and Monster Hunter. The psp had so many good games i still keep playing today

never had a PSP. but i am glad there is a SPS emulator out there called PPSSPP

Love TVGS, always discover games to check out. 👍🏾♥

Kingdom Hearts BBS did have a final fantasy character in it. Zack in the Olympus level

The 3rd birthday is number 1st psp game, very2 love it, graphics like console

Another fantastic upload mate 🙂 nice list of games that are 'new to me'. Only 1 I have from the list is - The 3rd Birthday, such a cool game. I can't wait to try the other ones out.

Damn it. The moment the music kicked in, I had to shout: "SKYE, TAKE FLIGHT!" xD

Damn, the PSP was perfect for action RPG's. I'm seriously impressed.

Gurumin is new to me. Not a big fan of action RPG's, but with dual analog controls I might give Crisis Core a 2nd shot as the switch remake. I do like thr Tales series, but there are better Tales games.

Gonna try God Eater Burst!!!

Love your videos Keep up the good work Did you know that kamiwaza the way of Thief was a Japanese PS2 exclusive game But now it has been remastered for PS4 west It would be nice if you could make a list of underrated games and remastered games.

Monster hunter 3rd is the best of all! Best graphics of psp and the best of all series (imo), sadly it wasnt release in the western so you need a fun made englosh patch (with hd enhancement for better ui with smaller map please). I just discovered how to connect pc and smartphone to play it multiplayer with my 12yo brother and we have a blast playing together.

Nayuta is a great action rpg... I m playing it on ps4 and it s really funny... Never played at time on my psp because was only in Japanese.

I gotta say i own most of these games all 3 Ys games on PSP and love how the spine of the boxes form the series title, and the plots were incredible 3rd birthday was enjoyable especially the unlockables. PSP2 was interesting but lots of hackers online who could hack levels playing solo is not easy on God either burst also pick your voice wisely, I also had trouble finding people to play with, though, on the upside, the second game of the series is more single player based and as for monster hunter know it’s not for everybody

please talk more about action rpgs!

I'm surprised you didn't also mention Ys oath in Felghana. I enjoy it more than ys 7

Also phantasy star 2 had a japanese improved version called infinity, its the same game with a lot more content including new races and infinite levels (hence the name) and of course my favorite, original japanese voice acting.

Wow amazing video man… thanks!! 🙏🏼

PSP has both God Eater and God Eater 2 and over the clouds and rest of the music are such bangers , Techno mixed with dubstep for a OP song is just chef's kiss. Parasite Eve : the 3rd birthday is also good and enjoyed the story quite a bit as well (yea know how its weird take), dunno if that is a RPG or a roguelike Think u forgot *Sword Art online : infinity moment* which had 30 floors of Aincard and even had a last hit system from the books that I had to quick save before boss died so I could get that prize else some other npc could get that as well which was a mech in that game 😅

Just played Ys 7. Slow at first but turned out to be a top 3 Ys game, up to that point.

I always see 3rd Birthday getting absolutely shit on by Parasite Eve fans so I'm rather surprised to see it on this list. Nevertheless I'm intrigued by what I see, it looks like a solid action game, and I trust your openminded judgment 🙂

*Really nice list*

My favorite : 1:03 , 6:45 , 8:32 , 11:57 , 14:01

My favorite RPG on PSP is definitely Crisis Core, but The 3rd Birthday, Persona 3 Portable, and Fate/Extra are definitely close behind.

Wish tales of the world 2 and 3 get a english remastered some day

Ooh Grandia 2 music ❤

Add god of war,dante's inferno,tales of eternia,rebirth,and star ocean

What's the difference between the "Phantasy Star Portable 2" and the "Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity"?

The PSP had bangers 😟

Kofxiii ost! Big up!

Waiting your video for the best fighting game on PSP.

I would add Lord Of Arcana/Apocalypse to this list

I look back and wish I had a PSP the hardware was ahead of it's time. This list has some games that I would like to play. I am curious how you got HD game footage as the games seem to be running at a higher resolution then on the hardware

Tales of Eternia was great

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinite is just one of the best single player action rpgs ever.

Black Rock Shooter,Hexy Force(any good)

Crazy how Ys 7 takes place after Ys 8 :)

Monster Hunter on the PSP is the best thing ever. Even better on the Vita.

Nobody knew Untold Legends or it was just me?

No Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blades?

FINAL FANTASY: CRISIS CORE. It ain't a master piece per se, and it feels like the beginning of walking halls.. and baby project for FF-XV battle system... BUT it's got something on it's story and overall difficulty that is JUST RIGHT. -I'd play it again; it's one of those games I ended buying at least 2 of 😂

Kingdom of Paradise

Tales radiant mythology was so underwhelming as a cross over. Had they implemented the story and unique characters better it be such a classic.

Where are Star Ocean 1 and 2? Tales of Eternia ?

How many of these games did you play back in the day vs what you've recently discovered?

I must strongly disagree with 3rd Birthday, though for people that have no clue about the Parasite Eve franchise will find a competent shooter with great graphics, but that wasn't enough to turn me off the story and resulted in a massive letdown. The franchise deserves better.

What game was the female in the template from?

From what game is the soundtrack at 15:20? It is very familiar but i cant put a finger on it...

Crisis core borrowed swords from Final Fantasy

you forgot dynasty warriors strike force

Make a "best english patched psp games" video.

no Key of Heaven/Kingdom of Paradise?

Fighting 2-3 enemies its not arpg, its just rpg. Phantasy Star and most games in this video aren't arpgs. Arpgs have hordes of enemies and hack slash combat like Warriors Orochi or Devil May Cry. Even Monster Hunter its not arpg, its just combat rpg

No Nayuta no Kiseki?

The 3rd Birthday was an absolute travesty of a game with what it did to Aya and the Parasite Eve franchise.

Tokobots for part2!

PPSSPP CAN RUN THIS SMOOTH ?

I bought Tales of the world. It was overly repetitive and boring. I don't remember anything changing or the story being interesting. Different colours of the same thing. In the days when I completed everything 100% I didn't bother completing this one.

may i ask, what was the bgm you used on monster hunter?

Is There Anyone Between the Ages of 20 to 50 Making A RU-vid Channel About the Future of PlayStation Games?

mind if i ask who the cutie in the thumbnail is and which game she is from?

Add timestamps

I would like to inform you that this video have a little error... The Parasite Eve franchise only have 2 games, there is no such thing as a 3rd one... Believing otherwise is heresy... I advise caution when dealing with some P.E. fans... Thank you... /s Other than that... Great video like always...

I remember Crap Eater and Burst. But both are awfully boring and slow. No wonder, since they were made to counter Crapster Cunter Better go for Toukiden or Toukiden Kiwami for that matter. Tales of the World RM is also not really a good option, I'd advise Destiny 2 or Rebirth instead Never played HMH or Gurumin so won't say anything 'bout those Crapster Cunter is the same as all the other instances in the series, so cant recommend too. Yes, it has additions compared to older games, but it still is so slow I can as well sleep while my attack animation goes. Same recommendation as for Crap Eater Ys Seven is like the thing that started the corruption of the series, so better stick to Felghana or VI 3rd Birthday was ok to my memory Crapsis Crapre is the worst thing in existence, skip it PSP2 is good, especially Infinite KH BBS is subpar. Wouldnt call it the best, even if it's not the worst around, but it gets boring fast, that's a fact. From me, I'd say Senritsu no Stratus, which is also not the best thing, but sure is better, and more interesting storywise, than any of the mentioned games. I especially liked it's replayability, as by clearing certain conditions, you unlock more characters to your party on the next playthrough, as well as costumes and difficulty levels.

10:02 i mean the graphics are cool but is not a must have, the game not only is bad in the context of the "parasite" franchise is bad being a game, the game system is broken. i would never recommend this game is nearly trash and if you play for the plot, eating sand meanwhile viewing paint dry, is a better use of your time.
