TWEWY, SMT: Devil Survivor and Knights in Nightmare.

You won't hear about the last much because of its unconventional merits and unique take on the genre, but it's really worth checking out... Especially for people who claimthe genre is sstagnating (they just need to stop playing mainstream JRPG's :|).

Oh yes, another thing is if you want to play ported games.

I am not sure about the PSP but on the DS that award goes to The World Ends With You.

some of the better RPG's on DS:

TWEWY, Pokemon D/P, Pokemon Platinum, Final Fantasy 2-4, Chrono Trigger

some of the better RPG's on PSP:

Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness, etc.

besides the above mentioned... lunar knights, super robot taisen, soma bringer(although you'll have to go extra measures if u want it in english, though its worth it), chrono trigger if you've never playd it, the dragon quests/ff remakes, pokemon platinum and some more i cant think of at the moment

^^all for DS

The best RPGs are on the PC and Consoles.SparkyProtocol

:lol: consoles? no

in answer to the op i would recommentd twewy, FF3, FF4, DQ4, DQ5, FF Tactics, FF Tactics Advance 2, Devil Survivor, crystal chronicles, knights in the nightmare, mario and luigi 2, pokemon platinum, fire emblem

disgaea and jean de arc are ok too

edit: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET CRISIS CORE. IT IS ONE OF THE WORST RPGS EVER MADE.

The World Ends With You is my favorite DS RPG, I hear Devil Survivor is pretty good too.

I disagree about Crisis Core. It certainly wasn't and isn't the best RPG on the PSP, but it's very good and I enjoyed playing it twice through. Disgaea and Jeanne D'arc are the best SRPGs on the PSP. I've yet to come across a really good JRPG, though I hear good things about Crimson Gem Saga.

I'm surprised that no one has said Mario and Luigi for the DS. I thought it was great.

You're all wrong. It's Ys. Ys VII is on PSP and Ys I & II are on DS. I win.

[QUOTE="hy4k"][QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"]The best RPGs are on the PC and Consoles.karriston

I'd also pitch in Star Ocean: First Departure and Star Ocean: Second evolution for the PSP. :P Oh and Tales of Eternia (only available in EU) and Crimson Gem Saga too. :Pdouble_heist

How could I forget Star Ocean? Great games.

Advance Dual Strike or something like that.tirralirra

Well in general the best RPGs for both handhelds are...

DS: Devil Survivor,TWEWY, Dragon Quest 4-5 and Chrono Trigger

PSP: Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Final Fantasy Tactics: WOTL, and Final Fantasy VII: CC.

Note: The ones bolded I dont agree with.

Although my personal favorite DS and PSP RPGs are 7th Dragon for the DS, and Brandish for PSP.... soon to be Ys 7.

[QUOTE="hy4k"] actually no, no i am not in terms of japanese rpgs handhelds (particularly the DS) absolutely smoke consoles. what exactly have consoles got? valkyria chronicles and tales of vesparia. a good a srpg and a good arpg. how impressive :roll: in terms of wrpgs there's nothing but inferior versions of pc games. even still the pc has games like the witcher, kings bounty and motb. good rpgs that you'd never see on your crappy consoles so all in all consoles are garbage handhelds are awesome, the pc is awesome. educate yourselfkidcool189

Well fine. Lost Odysset, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Demon's Soul, White Knight Chronicles, Eternal Sonata, The Last Remnant, Monster Hunter Tri, Tales of Vesperia, and more.

Here is my deal. I am a PSP gamer my wife is DS gamer...she is alway telling me that RPGs are the better games, so I figured Id try one out. Now I have never really played one in total. I would like to get the same game for both her and me.

Phantasy Star, Disgaea, Final Fantasy Titles etc...you guys are the experts on this...So what is the best RPG that is on both handhelds?? Ill pick up both versions.

Chrono Trigger.

It will make you a better person.

Try the legend of heroes for the psp. There are 3 games. I liked them.

I'm not sure, neither of them have anything particularly "amazing."

I think I will go with the Final Fantasy Tactics titles on both systems. I heard those are interesting. How are those two games related?

Knights in the Nightmare is definitely recommended, but have some patience, because the tutorial will probably take some time to get through. Actually, a lot of time to get through. As far as PSP goes... I haven't finished the Star Ocean ports, but they seem alright so far. I'm going to start a little controversy here and say the Crisis Core is complete crap unless you're interested in FF7 backstory. The story itself was interesting, but gameplay is just terrible. The missions are all just monster killing, and everything can be defeated by swinging your sword and occasionally dodging. It's just not fun.

PSP: Crisis Core SRPG: Final Fantasy Tactics

DS: The World Ends With You SRPG: Fire Emblem

if you have to choose which handheld has the RPGs you need, the DS may be a better fit

if you want RPGs that look more like pS2 games like Crisis Core, Monster Hunter then go for PSP

DS has more RPGs as a whole, in more genres it seems and more quality ones
