I didn't see Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on the lists?

Also, make sure you get Valkyria Chronicles III. You can find it in English nowadays if you know where to look.

You should consider the Prinny games. Also, the PSP ports of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II appear to be solid.

Also Star Ocean 2, since you've got the first listed. Pangya Fantasy Golf seems to be recommended as well.
