Just Got a PSP...

...And I wanted some suggestions for games to get for it. I just got Persona 1 and 2 as well as Final Fantasy II, Tactics and both Dissidias. Any other games worth getting on that system?

Persona 3 Portable (P3P), and no, the three Persona games aren't linked in any way.

If you want it, they have Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, with FF4, FF4: Interlude, and FF4: The After Years.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is good if you can find it.

Crisis Core: FFVII
-Prequel to FFVII. Action-RPG. Short campaign, lots of side-quests.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
-Best KH game is best. Prequel to KH1. Lots of options during battle. Three playable characters.

Lunar: Silver Star Complete
-Awesome remake of Lunar: Silver Star.

Loco Roco 2
-It's like Katamari Damacy, but not. L/R buttons are mainly the only things you use to roll around.

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
-Decent remake of Rondo of Blood. Also contains the original Rondo of Blood and an updated Symphony of the Night which includes new voice acting, Maria as a playable character, an extra boss, and the two missing familiars.

Funny you mention that. My friend actually just jail-broke the PSP for me. It was a long, ardious process, but the results were fantastic. He loaded Birth by Sleep onto a card for me, as well as Lunar 2. Happy to know they remade Lunar 1, I'll try and get that as well.

The most important thing, though, was he loaded a SNES emulator onto it. It includes an English copy of Terranigma, which means I can finally be able to play it, albeit on a smaller scale.

I might also be in the minority, but I never liked FFVII all that much. I personally felt 8 had a far better story, atmosophere, characters, and overall play mechanics. That's just me, though. Was Crisis Core better than FFVII? I don't mind playing a sequel/prequel to a game I didn't really like, so long as it's a better game overall.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
- This shit is so awesome. MGS-style gameplay, broken into manageable clusters and you have a variety of characters to choose from and slowly build your army. Plus you can get new soldiers by connecting to WiFi signals! AWESOME.

@SBF, FFVII: Crisis Core wasn't that good. I played through half of it before my PSP broke. The story had value to me as a FFVII fan, but since you're not a fan I think you won't really appreciate the background story that the game provides. On its own, the story is mediocre at best.
Gameplay-wise... the battle system was fun in the beginning, but I thought that it became a little repetitive after a while. Half of the time you're doing side quest missions that have nothing to do with the story.

But seeing that your PSP is jailbreaked, I'd say give it a try, anyway. If it aint your beef, you can always just ditch it.

Don't listen to this guy. Crisis Core is amazing, and has a much better story than FFVII. The gameplay is fun and addictive, but it isn't real-time. Instead, your actions go into a brief queue before activating.

It's also one of less than five games that make me cry EVERTIM.

The games aight. Maybe I was disappointed because it's nowhere near as good as FFVII. I love FFVII, motherfockers.
