Handheld RPG recommendations?

I always dug Minish cap it was a really neat game in the series sorta like the GameBoy's Majora.

it's a lot like Majora's (in that it LOOKS really good ,but I don't really like it that much)

Sigma Star Saga is a great combo of RPG and SHMUP in one

Sigma Star Saga SHOULD BE a great comboof RPG and shmup. Instead it's just an OK combo of RPG and shmup. But whatever. I'm glad Namco tried. I have a CIB copy that I can't part with even if I'm underwhelmed. It was sort of a Gardian Legend homage.

I'm amazed nobody's mentioned Minish Cap or LTTP yet.

Those aren't RPGs.

As for good PSP RPGs:

Brave Story is a decent standard JRPG
Class of Heroes - Wizadry clone which is less punishing at the beginning than others
Crimson Gem Saga
Half Minute Hero
Hexyz Force - I'm only a little way in, so far it's good, made by Sting
Persona - A non-butchered version of the PS1 original
Persona 3 - Has a female MC story available if you've played it on the PS2
Star Ocean series - Only english release of the first game
Valkyria Chronicles II - While a step back in a few ways from the original (map reuse) it has a lot of new ideas and overall is an improvement over the original

Minish Cap isn't really that great of a game (in my opinion). LTTP rules, but I was trying to think of handhelf exclusives more than obvious ports.

Sigma Star Saga is a great combo of RPG and SHMUP in one and Scurge Hive was a great Metroid style RPG that was really fun.

Thanks for the heads up on Scurge: Hive & Sigma Star Saga I have found both NEW for less than £10 posted.

I played the Breath of Fire games on the SNES and loved them. Sword of Mana was a lot of fun and has two different stories to play. On the psp, the best sleeper I have discovered yet is Popolocrois. I adore that game.

But seriously, just think of all the time saved when instead of going through a stack of rpgs you could play Street Fighter II Turbo Revival, which is clearly the best game on the gba

e-high five.

He asked for good RPG's or Action RPG's. Zelda is classified as an Adventure/Action RPG game.

We don't need to have this debate again. But Nintendo does not consider it to be an RPG.

I know... I started to respond to it earlier and then realized it was pretty well-worn RB material.

I don't know why people care one way or the other tho. It's like telling someone into punk that they should check out Joy Division. Who's going to go "I like action/RPGs, darnit! Don't tell me about good games that are similar but aren't quite RPGs!!!"
