@@CS2Malk true. I was just responding to the guy who said he doesn't play any of the games as, like you said, it's hard to be specific about games you never played unless you pour in a shit ton of research. He doesn't just do surface level summaries like Watchmojo, you can tell he actually cares about these games.
The Trails series has been one of my shining lights in gaming the past 5 years. I played Trails in the sky much earlier than that, but i never got in to it properly until after i finished cold steel 1 and 2. And then it was history for me, i fell in love with the world of Zemuria.
The SONY PSP being multi-region was one of the reasons why I loved this handheld. I could finally import games either from America or Japan and didn't have to worry about it being region locked from me since I was a PAL region gamer. So many great JRPGs that I imported from America when I realized that if a game came from Atlus or if a game came from XSeed, that was a clear indication for me to just simply import from America, don't wait for a PAL release because it would most likely never come. NISA at least had some games released into PAL region on the PS3, but on the PSP more often than not I had to import from America unless if it was a popular NISA game like Disgea for example. Everything else like from Square Enix and even Capcom or Konami, I looked for a PAL release before resorting to importing from America for just a few of those games from those well known Japanese publishers if they were too hard to find in local stores. When it came to music games and even visual novel games, Japanese Import was the only way for me to get those on the PSP especially for the Hatsune Miku Project Diva games that originally you could only import them from Japan before SEGA finally started to release that series into the west.
Seeing Ys 7 not on S tier really hurt me. It was where the Ys series really pulled me deep in to the series for how great it played, it was what I considered as a "True Action JRPG". It would also be cool if you ranked the games "at the time" cause some of the games will get hit cause of the remakes. for example, God eater Burst
@@tapsofosiris3110 tactics ogre luct on psp is only garbage if you dislike tactics games.

Broo, give Tactics Ogre another try. Played it few weeks ago and finished it finally (after i started it few years ago and dont finished, so i started a new campagne). Music, Story, Characters, the three different paths how to play this game, the twists and the awesome destiny of some characters are just beautiful. Even the combat is great. Loved the mechanics and the tactics. For me: S-Tier
Awesome list! I'm a bit disappointed you excluded the jp only games but it's understandable. I would've been really happy to hear more people talking about 7th Dragon and Valkyria Chronicles 3.
Wow u put trails game in the s tier men. That was awesome. I just finished the sky series (with the 3rd i played on the vita oh men, am i a fan of the trails series now). Even the simple quest is very masterfully done.
I finally found your TH-cam channel ErickRPG! You been mentioned by most NSW vloggers that you specialises RPG! Will binge watch your videos this weekend!
2023 and this is great information for me, reviving my Ps vita with a Adrenaline to play psp games, thanks for taking the time to make this video for future generations.
Tactis Ogre for PSP is easy an A tier for me... The One Vision MOD transform the game in a S tier, perfect game. It's a Shame Erick don't like the series. And unchain blades is the best Dungeon crawler in PSP... B tier.
I wish I could get into Tactics Ogre, I even have it on my phone by emulating PSP but Idk.. the first few hours are brutal. I don't feel there's enough customization early on (I know it's a very deep game later) for it to get that hard.
@@Ocean5ix Não sei se você é BR mano, mas vai em inglês 👍🏻 True friend, that's exactly what you said. At first it is difficult, but then the game is easy. That's because he was not well balanced and the experience is frustrating at first and tedious at the end precisely because your character is very strong. So I recommend the one Vision MOD because the game is PERFECT, the classes are changed with different skills and weapons. The crafting system is simplified and you can use now 😅😅. The status of the equipment is more interesting and the game is much more balanced. (Still difficult, but in a much more strategic and enjoyable way)
@Renan, que bom encontrar um brasileiro por aqui. Joguei muito TO LUCT por emulador, a versão original acumulei 40h ou mais, mas perdi o save. Depois comecei o mod One Vision e jogo realmente ficou mais desafiador, skills que foram removidas deixaram as batalhas mais estratégicas e o jogo mais divertido, na minha opinião. Ainda tô no terceiro capítulo, mas pretendo terminá-lo, um dia (tô sem um celular bom pra emular o psp).
@@lngoj com certeza amigo, fica infinitamente mais interessante... Pq as classes agora de fato são características de um bom RPG. E quando vc puder usar o sistema de craft ... Aí meu amigo, é só alegria rsrs o da versão original é das trevas, horrível!
At the start of the video, I could clearly hear the Ys Book 1 and 2 music. That brings me back so much memories playing that on the PSP as well as on the original Wii's Virtual Console when I downloaded that game from the TurboGraphix16CD library on the Virtual Console. So I played that game twice from two different versions of that game to remember the Book 1 overworld theme well.
I'm kinda new to your channel, so my followage lived or died by your opinion of Valkyrie Profile (my fav RPG and one of my favorite games ever). Well done, bro. You kept my interest, haha.
i know a good game is a good game forever, thats why i love final fantasy tactics and tactics ogre, those are about life back then, i dont think there outdated. Also i was probably the guy that got you into fate/extra if you didnt hear about it yourself before that :) i love your channel dude!
I enjoyed Mimana Iyar Chronicle on the PSP. Though I do admit that I needed a strategy guide downloaded from GameFAQs just to get past some moments in the game where I got lost and didn't know what I should do or what dungeon I should have been in. But after the first few dungeons and as soon as you meet a few other girls in the game, it turns out to be a really enjoyable and comedic game as the interactions with each girl is like a dating sim game that is a major plus in my book.
I know I’m late to this list but I have to say THANK YOU! I have never come across anyone else who has played Crimson Gem Saga, yet alone had anything positive to say about it. I loved it. Make sure you do finish it, it has one hell of a twist at the end.
Wow this was a very big but great list~ Seeing this however made me realize that there aren't many more JRPG I haven't played in the PSP, wow. Too bad the Crossbell duology of the trails games couldn't make it into it for obvious reasons.
I have never thought anyone would talk about Warriors of Lost Empire on TH-cam. It's been years since I've heard that name. I remember playing it on the PSP for hours. It was a lot of fun. I don't remember the exact details of my experience with it as I played it perhaps 13 or 12 years ago I believe. I do remember I was impressed by the graphics lol. PS2 quality graphics on a handheld is what kept me playing back then from what I recall.
I would like to hear about you covering the Crossbell Arc of the Legend of Heroes for PSP too. Never been disappointed checking out your uploads. Keep it up bro!
FF4 and FFTactics on B tier???!!! I was ready to throw hands! Also still laughing at "this is a hidden gem but the least best of the hidden gems", and then you gave it a D lmao
MASSIVE list! Looking forward to this. I have a request for some action RPG co-op stuff! Know you’ve done some content like that but would like to hear more option on games like Tales of.
I had one of those late night thoughts about what game is it that I used to play when I was a kid I spent several years trying to remember several games, completely forgetting their names. Orphen, this took me several years Onimusha, a few weeks when I found it in my local gameshop And Valhalla Knights is the one that brought me here, cheers for the reminder
My favorite JRPG on PSP has to be YS oath of felghana. I would have put crisis core, Monster hunter , Mana khemia and kingdom hearts in a higher tier. But that's just my opinion. I respect your opinion Great Video man 👌
Let me clarify this: Black Rock Shooter is a song sung by Miku Hatsune (with a PV) that the anime is based on, thus the JRPG is based on. It saddens me that you didn't know this... (For me as a VOCALOID-fan, this hurts me)
I know something that you overlooked. In the PSP video game of Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles there is an exclusive version of Castlevania Sympathy of the Night. Compared to the Playstation version there is a different arrangement of the items and two more Familiars and a different voice cast as well. So you missed an Action RPG that was unique to the PSP release.
Subbed. Amazing videos man keep up the work. There are alot of games that i have not played for the psp. Im currently getting back into it. Started playing mystic chronicles thanks to your recommendation on a different video and I absolutely love the game so far. Feels very nostalgic. Do you have a video like this but for the VitaRPGs?
The video is only for PSP RPGs released officialy on english language, right? I missed some, for example: Ao no Kiseki, Zero no Kiseki, and the great Nayuta no Kiseki.
Brandish was one of the PSP games I did import from Japan simply because of the sexy cover art. And when I saw the Falcom logo on it, I knew what to expect from the game. A little hard to play due to the language barrier, but it is not too hard and at least you didn't require a translation just to get into the game which is always important to consider before importing a game from Japan.
Tactics Ogre: LUCT got C tier? wew... if only you played until the end... That game got SS tier from me... the main story basically just the opening of the game, the endgame content is the real game... the game turned from historical to mystical
You mentioned FFTactics while talking about Tactics Ogre but forgot FFT War of the Lions. I would have liked to known your opinion about it. I personally couldn't play through it because the actions when using skills are 60% slower than the original version, despite playing through the original a good 10 or more times.
Wish i could get the charm of trails in the sky as everyone does on internet. It burned me out so bad that I would stop playing games altogether let alone jrpg genre.
Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time is a good game but one that requires you to level grind loads before you face any of the later bosses especially the final boss. This also has dating sim elements that I love and the Catgirl Alien is the best character in my view especially when she wears like a leopard one-piece swimsuit, if Barbarella was a Catgirl she would look like her.
Im a fan of ur channel and i respect that you were not into monster hunter (they were not really rpg) but if u wanna start monster hunter on psp , i recommend Monster hunter portable 3rd english patched.. either on psp, emulation or ps3
Holy cow.. I was waiting for you to say "I haven't played this one much....." and you never did... Dang, that's alot of games.. if you played them an average of 20 hours each it's 1800 hours! and that's just the psp games. Excellent video though.. gives me a rough guide on which games to give the time of day to and which not to. thanks!
In other videos, he says that he played "insert name of the game" for 2/3 hours. He therefore does not go deeply into each game. It's normal as he will not spend 20 hours on games he dislikes or finds average; leading to a possible issue since some games show their full potential after 5/10 hours (a concrete example being Suikoden V). The job remains nonetheless amazing :)

17:23 Me (a completely mediocre and borderline sucky gamer but managed to complete all missions and side quests): okay maybe He just isnt that much into these types of games. give this one a chance. If you like monster hunter games for psp, its like a faster paced version. Quite enjoyable and makesyoufeel like a badass. 24:50 there it is. He really dont like them LOL. IIRC MOnster hunter has 5 PSP games. Freedom, freedom 2, MH2G, Freedom unite and portable 3rd. AFAIK, Freedom unite is just american version of 2G and portable 3rd is japanese but there are translated ISOs available.

E quando vc puder usar o sistema de craft ... Aí meu amigo, é só alegria rsrs o da versão original é das trevas, horrível!
How could you even remember all this games? A great list that i was searching for.
At the start of the video, I could clearly hear the Ys Book 1 and 2 music.
That brings me back so much memories playing that on the PSP as well as on the original Wii's Virtual Console when I downloaded that game from the TurboGraphix16CD library on the Virtual Console.
So I played that game twice from two different versions of that game to remember the Book 1 overworld theme well.
Is Breath of Fire 3 not a JRPG on the PSP? Didn't make the list for some reason?
To me Popolo Crois in PSP is a hidden gem. Yeah it's overlooked I think. The character development is nice. And nicer than what I initially expect.
Good stuff man, what do you say about best JRPGs on 3DS now that it's officially discontinued?
I'm kinda new to your channel, so my followage lived or died by your opinion of Valkyrie Profile (my fav RPG and one of my favorite games ever). Well done, bro. You kept my interest, haha.
I’m looking for games to play! Thanks for the suggestions Erick! :)
Waiting for the ds list. Love the portable list
Love the PSP!
Love your channel Eric!
FFT:WotL a B!? Who hurt you? 😂
Great material man. Going through your videos at work. Keep it up!
Great video!! Can someone make a list so we can see the games in their ranks?
Agree with crisis core,
Graphic wise, it's really great! However it gets boring with all those same sidequests and all specials there are "chance".
Great job! This video is amazing 😍
Awesome list! There was a lot of psp games i didn't know existed! Please do a vita one next!
I just love how the end was finished with tracks from the best games out there.
my soul legit hurt when he talked about FFT and TO....
I loved the GBA FFT so much
me too dude. I'm in pain.
i know a good game is a good game forever, thats why i love final fantasy tactics and tactics ogre, those are about life back then, i dont think there outdated. Also i was probably the guy that got you into fate/extra if you didnt hear about it yourself before that :) i love your channel dude!
I enjoyed Mimana Iyar Chronicle on the PSP.
Though I do admit that I needed a strategy guide downloaded from GameFAQs just to get past some moments in the game where I got lost and didn't know what I should do or what dungeon I should have been in.
But after the first few dungeons and as soon as you meet a few other girls in the game, it turns out to be a really enjoyable and comedic game as the interactions with each girl is like a dating sim game that is a major plus in my book.
Keep on doing your RPG reviews. Very solid channel
I know I’m late to this list but I have to say THANK YOU! I have never come across anyone else who has played Crimson Gem Saga, yet alone had anything positive to say about it. I loved it. Make sure you do finish it, it has one hell of a twist at the end.
HcBailly did a playthrough of it.
It's awesome to see someone giving the PSP some love. The PSP was one of my favorite handhelds back in the day. Great vid!
Amazing list. My only disagreement is FF Tactics (but I'm insanely biased towards it). Keep up the great content man!
Dude I'm loving the content you're putting out!
Wonderfull!
The only big disagree is final fantasy tactics twotl to me is the best of the best.
Colosal video waiting for other consoles ranking list.
Yes! FFTactics needs to be up in S no questions asked
Ooof, crisis core was an s for me. It made me emotional and it made me happy with life xD.
I was yelling S, as I was watching this video. Crisis Core is the only reason I will never get rid of my PSP.
Though I respect Erick's opinion on Elminage, if you like the Wizardry games give it a shot. One of the best WizClones ever made.
Wow this was a very big but great list~ Seeing this however made me realize that there aren't many more JRPG I haven't played in the PSP, wow.
Too bad the Crossbell duology of the trails games couldn't make it into it for obvious reasons.
Theres english patch for both.
Thanks for this video I got to know about so many great RPGs on psp
I have never thought anyone would talk about Warriors of Lost Empire on TH-cam. It's been years since I've heard that name. I remember playing it on the PSP for hours. It was a lot of fun. I don't remember the exact details of my experience with it as I played it perhaps 13 or 12 years ago I believe. I do remember I was impressed by the graphics lol. PS2 quality graphics on a handheld is what kept me playing back then from what I recall.
Have you really played every game in this list? O my god
Great work dude
I would like to hear about you covering the Crossbell Arc of the Legend of Heroes for PSP too.
Never been disappointed checking out your uploads.
Keep it up bro!
Where can I find videos where you go more in depth on some of these games, like Hexyz Force?
FF4 and FFTactics on B tier???!!! I was ready to throw hands!
Also still laughing at "this is a hidden gem but the least best of the hidden gems", and then you gave it a D lmao
Holy shit! That's a hell of a list to try and make. 👍
I think I'm the only person in the world that enjoyed Blade Dancer even if that game had many problems
I want to enjoy it even if its not that great too
I got it recently. Just started but I'd give it so far a D atleast. I had the ost since it released but never had the game so I had to give it a shot.
I actually really enjoyed the mimana chronicles. The story ends in a way that leaves room for a sequel and I really wish one had been made.
Please help me decide, i want to play one of these sprg:
FFT, Jean d'Arc, Ragnarok Tactics.
Ah, judging by that thumbnail I see you're a man of culture as well :3
Mitsuru Kirijo?
@@leonamoonslasher7070 yup
i'll do you better *rise kujikawa*
what is the OST that plays at 36:14 ?
It is called Palace of Destruction from Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles (specifically Ys 1).
MASSIVE list! Looking forward to this. I have a request for some action RPG co-op stuff! Know you’ve done some content like that but would like to hear more option on games like Tales of.
I had one of those late night thoughts about what game is it that I used to play when I was a kid
I spent several years trying to remember several games, completely forgetting their names.
Orphen, this took me several years
Onimusha, a few weeks when I found it in my local gameshop
And Valhalla Knights is the one that brought me here, cheers for the reminder
My favorite JRPG on PSP has to be YS oath of felghana. I would have put crisis core, Monster hunter , Mana khemia and kingdom hearts in a higher tier. But that's just my opinion. I respect your opinion
Great Video man 👌
Let me clarify this:
Black Rock Shooter is a song sung by Miku Hatsune (with a PV) that the anime is based on, thus the JRPG is based on.
It saddens me that you didn't know this... (For me as a VOCALOID-fan, this hurts me)
I really enjoyed Black Rock Shooter, the timing mechanic reminded me of Panzer Dragoon Saga.
What is the timing mechanic?
@@thecritic3530 actions being based around timing intervals. In Panzer, you had the meters that filled up and this 'felt' that way to me.
Black rock is a good game.. Its a new style of rpg..
I really need to know the name of the song that starts around 16:09 , please!
Neat, I learned about new jrpgs I haven't heard before. Do you think you'll do another tier list for the vita?
I know something that you overlooked. In the PSP video game of Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles there is an exclusive version of Castlevania Sympathy of the Night. Compared to the Playstation version there is a different arrangement of the items and two more Familiars and a different voice cast as well. So you missed an Action RPG that was unique to the PSP release.
Sympathy or Symphony? 😂😂😂
Could you please share the link of your graph? It's hard to see the name of each game on there.
Thank you for this huge task!
Subbed. Amazing videos man keep up the work. There are alot of games that i have not played for the psp. Im currently getting back into it. Started playing mystic chronicles thanks to your recommendation on a different video and I absolutely love the game so far. Feels very nostalgic. Do you have a video like this but for the VitaRPGs?
I thought you will rank only persona or something like that but man you ranked the whole library you are crazy man in a good way
Valkyrie Profile 1 :) Front and center. S+++++++++++ Its a goddamn masterpiece! Good man!
The video is only for PSP RPGs released officialy on english language, right? I missed some, for example: Ao no Kiseki, Zero no Kiseki, and the great Nayuta no Kiseki.
Brandish was one of the PSP games I did import from Japan simply because of the sexy cover art.
And when I saw the Falcom logo on it, I knew what to expect from the game.
A little hard to play due to the language barrier, but it is not too hard and at least you didn't require a translation just to get into the game which is always important to consider before importing a game from Japan.
Can’t wait to try to emulate these!
Tactics Ogre: LUCT got C tier? wew... if only you played until the end... That game got SS tier from me... the main story basically just the opening of the game, the endgame content is the real game... the game turned from historical to mystical
Landon question, is the brandish for Japan have an English option? For the physical copy
13:53 This is a RPG Maker game, right?
Thanks ! Should I get a PSP in 2020? I really want some good rpgs
Emulator
Only if you import Japanese games.
You mentioned FFTactics while talking about Tactics Ogre but forgot FFT War of the Lions. I would have liked to known your opinion about it. I personally couldn't play through it because the actions when using skills are 60% slower than the original version, despite playing through the original a good 10 or more times.
Wish i could get the charm of trails in the sky as everyone does on internet. It burned me out so bad that I would stop playing games altogether let alone jrpg genre.
I got sick of it just looking at the first 5 minutes of a playthrough. What's your favorite rpg?
M A I cant decide between persona 4 golden and 5. I really enjoy octopath traveler recently so that may change lol
A lot of overhype and fake gaming taste when you ask about JRPG on the Internet. I never trust anybody because they are always wrong.
thanks man, I was disappointed by the gameplay of the original brandish, I was glad there's a remake on the psp I can try.
Didn't see it in the video, but have you ever heard of Crimson Gem Saga? I never finished it but remember having a fun time with it
9:24
Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time is a good game but one that requires you to level grind loads before you face any of the later bosses especially the final boss.
This also has dating sim elements that I love and the Catgirl Alien is the best character in my view especially when she wears like a leopard one-piece swimsuit, if Barbarella was a Catgirl she would look like her.
Meowna is awesome! I preferred the naive ojou though
@@sufianramli8017 Thanks for reminding me of her name, Meowna.
The fan-translated games don't count?
Im a fan of ur channel and i respect that you were not into monster hunter (they were not really rpg) but if u wanna start monster hunter on psp , i recommend Monster hunter portable 3rd english patched.. either on psp, emulation or ps3
Man Tactics Ogre is the bomb but it's not for everyone I will admit.
Holy cow.. I was waiting for you to say "I haven't played this one much....." and you never did... Dang, that's alot of games.. if you played them an average of 20 hours each it's 1800 hours! and that's just the psp games. Excellent video though.. gives me a rough guide on which games to give the time of day to and which not to. thanks!
In other videos, he says that he played "insert name of the game" for 2/3 hours. He therefore does not go deeply into each game. It's normal as he will not spend 20 hours on games he dislikes or finds average; leading to a possible issue since some games show their full potential after 5/10 hours (a concrete example being Suikoden V). The job remains nonetheless amazing :)
The fact tales of the world radiant mythology 2/3 didn't make it out of japan is a crime against humanity...

What is the song that begins playing at 36:15?
It is called Palace of Destruction from Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles (specifically Ys 1).
17:23
Me (a completely mediocre and borderline sucky gamer but managed to complete all missions and side quests): okay maybe He just isnt that much into these types of games. give this one a chance. If you like monster hunter games for psp, its like a faster paced version. Quite enjoyable and makesyoufeel like a badass.
24:50 there it is. He really dont like them LOL. IIRC MOnster hunter has 5 PSP games. Freedom, freedom 2, MH2G, Freedom unite and portable 3rd. AFAIK, Freedom unite is just american version of 2G and portable 3rd is japanese but there are translated ISOs available.
I've recently started watching some of John Rigg's stuff, and I like this rating style of video.
fate extra S tier?you must be kidding me,just a rock, paper, scissors fanbased game
Loved the video. Any chance to have the same for 3DS?
