Uhm. You guys realise you can get things that let you emulate on DS as well? That's not a psp 'exclusive' there.

I for one didn't mean there was no good homebrew on the DS

the thing is that it is millions of times better on the psp

and god you can emulate psx games almost perfectly

Man... This thread makes me want a PSP really badly.

Really, there aren't any good original RPGs these days period. I think that generation is long gone. The FF3 remake isn't worth it at all. I don't know about FF4. Pokemon is excellent, but that's really a love it or hate it thing. FF Tactics A2 barely qualifies as an RPG. The plot is less interesting than diarreah (yeah idc how you spell that correctly). If you like collecting shit it's an okay game.

edit: omg 666 posts this is historical

I never played my PSP when I had it, so I sold it. I have a DS that I only really keep around for two reasons: Phoenix Wright, and it's a good alarm clock.

i bought my friends PSP for $40 just so i could play this game. (star ocean 2 remake)

of course i've already put in a custom firmware and ordered two 4 gig memory sticks for like $3 each. im never payin for a psp game so help me god

why would you do this??? star ocean 2 was not a particularly good game. but yeah i love the console it can play like 8 other different console's games, and its own games, and it's ALL FREE !!! only it is too easy and no one buys games so its third-party support is really kind of awful and it's only going to get worse.

star ocean 2 is probably my favorite game.

i know it's not particularly amazing..deep..etc but i've had some kind of strange affection for it ever since i played it in like 1999. the characters are all pretty cliche and the voice acting is horrendous but i've always loved the battle system and the skill system etc. basically everything good about star ocean 2 was removed for star ocean 3 which angered me very much.

i liked how i made like ULTIMATE WEAPON........ accidentally when i was trying to make some pizza but so combat always struck me as dumb, brainless, devoid of strategy etc. HAMMER DOWN X, HOPE YOUR PARTY AI DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TO LOSE. its ok tho you were like 7 or something in 1999 i understand

Hacked PSP? play PS1 games, or stuff like that, you're not limited to PSP RPG's alone with a hacked PSP

you could play GBA stuff etc.

Whatever trips your trigger though

I can safely tell you that almost every DS game I've been excited for, or interested in has failed to deliver, had some stupid pen thing to do, or was a giant waste of time and money.

The few exceptions are Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy IV, and Brain Age.

Personally I like the DS more, I've gotten a huge amount of usage out of mine and I'm selling my PSP next week because I played it twice. I've had the thing for three or four months and I've played it twice.

The few exceptions are Ace Attorney and ~~Brain Age~~ Sudoku.

fixed.

to be honest i think that a cheap, used copy of Brain Age IS worth it for the sudoku tho

Well regarding Star Ocean: I have been playing Star Ocean 1 remake on PSP for a couple of weeks and it is basically 100% exactly like Star Ocean 2. Like it is literally a Star Ocean 2 mod. You even have the same skills for your characters etc. There are some revisions to make the game a little smoother and more fun and all that however. In my case I like that a lot because I liked Star Ocean 2 a lot but played it 10 years ago.

Get the DS, purely for the fact that Chrono Trigger DS was released recently. Seriously, the game is awe-some. Even more so then the original releases. And ofcourse the DS has other awesome RPG's too, but imo this one is by far the best.

Uh I dunno what it would equate to in USD, and I've already put it on NZs auction site... so... yeah. Sorry.
