Im a big fan of classic turnbased RPGs and cant decide on any to play on the PSP!
Are there any that are either exclusive or best on Sonys pre-predecessor to the awesome Sony PlayStation Portal Remote Player?

And if so, why not?

There are a few that have got some interesting translations/hacks and might be worth a look.

I normally went for dungeon crawlers on the turn based thing (and there are some decent ones).

If indeed classic turn based RPGs are your thing I should probably point at Crimson Gem Saga. They are not my thing (I burned out on them during the PS1 era and it takes something very special to catch my eye these days with such things) and this does nothing special, though at the same time it follows the formula to a tee. I am not going to throw around words like hidden gem but it could get close to it.

For something more "what I would pick if I was suggesting someone get into the genre" then The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is a spectacular effort.

Do also note you have most of the PS1 library and any translations also done for it in this.

Personally I like the three titles of the Legend of Heroes series already officially in english, and three or four other titles translated by fans. Lunar Silver Star is the best port of this title on console. Persona 3 is excellent, but the other three previous titles, improved versions of the PSX titles, are also very good and engaging. As for me, I prefer to play the older, classic PSX JRPG games on PSP (Final Fantasy 7/8/9, Grandia, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Wild Arms 2, Breath of Fire 3/4, Suikoden 1/2, Thousand Arms, PoPoLoCrois 1/2). It's true, they are not exclusive games for the PSP: I admit I went off topic, but I prefer them to the PSP ones. 😋

i remember trying Persona 1 (i think thats what it was??) on ps1 and then found out online i somehow missed out on a recruitable party member somehow by not going to the right place and quit....

im beginning to suspect, as awesome as persona is, that i may have to do this one with a guide by my side ^^;;
I definitely wanna do Persona 1 and both Persona 2 on PSP since they are the best versions, but for Persona 3 im gonna wait for Persona 3 Reload. I suspect that will end up being the best version!

I just started Legend of Heroes and its really cute!

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
