PSP game recommendations, anyone?

[Nocturnalrisen]

so i recently just installed ppsspp (for the millionth time... i don't get why i keep on deleting it) and I'm looking for some game recs, as the title says.

i don't mind if the game is loooooooong, and i also don't really care about the genre- except for tactical RPGs, i don't know what it is about them but i just don't vibe with them. i do love rpgs in general though! rhythm games are abit hard to play on emulators since i'm pretty sure there's a delay on the input, though i wouldn't mind trying them out.

here are the games i already have:
Persona 2 Innocent Sin & Eternal Punishment
Persona 3 Portable
ff7 Crisis Core

tldr; as the title says, i like rpgs except for tactical rpgs.

Breath of Fire III (if you dont want to play the PS1 version)
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Disgaea
Final Fantasy (any)
Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Slug Anthology
Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite
Ridge Racer 1 and 2
Star Ocean 1 and 2

Some of those arent rpgs but they are all good games.
PSP is a great system

If you like platformers, try Mega Man Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X
GTA Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories and Chinatown Wars are pretty good open world games.
Lumines 1 & 2 are nice for some puzzle action
Gun Showdown is the nearest thing to Red Dead Redemption on the PSP.
Even if most people hate them, Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant are good beat em up games.
LEGO games are also good for casual mindless gameplay.
Daxter and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters are among the best 3D platformers for me.
Burnout Legends is what you need for racing games.

ALL the games already mentioned by the other users, PLUS The Legend Of Heroes series! I was reluctant with those ones, but then I loved them all.
Also, I'd recommend ULTIMATE GHOSTS 'N GOBLINS too...

 

[Iloveasianpreggirls]

Crisis Core - Final Fantasy
Digimon Adventure
Final Fantasy Type-0
Final Fantasy III
Grand Knights History
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
Phantasy Star Online
Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 3 Portable

If you like farming sims and depression, Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon is good for both

 

[bombatomba77]

Hmm.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (if you are emulating get the "Slowdown Removal" version)
Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary
Final Fantasy IV Complete Edition
Boku No Natsuyasumi 4 (no translation that I know of, but I still like tooling around the island anyway)
Lunar Silver Star Harmony

Seriously, this system has some real bangers

EDIT: Oops, forgot about the "no tactical" part

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Here's a gallery shooter action RPG where you can equip different things to each button set in a post apocalyptic world where humanity has almost died out + you fight aliens + the music was composed by Manabu Namiki + the game's opening was composed by One OK Rock + plus- ok, the game is Black Rock Shooter: The Game

/v/ keeps a list of quick-hit game recommendations. Potential language warning, but I still think this is a good place to get a running start since they cover quite a few genres.

And here's a link to a bunch of other recs I made a little while ago on here.
