All the deep gameplay of the original with an improved translation that almost makes sense. Also, Puzzle Quest of course. This one is so good that my wife insists on playing it whenever we are out somewhere together with time to kill. Even though we have the game, I just downloaded it onto the PSP so I can still have a game with me too. Final Fantasy Tactics FTW!!

Seems that way. I haven't played an RPG forever. Wait, when did Morrowind come out? That was the last ome. Would you say that the oldschool pure Wizardry/Ultima series or games like em are dead?

They contain strategy/levelling up combined with real-time action like shooting. (Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Oblivion are good examples, although not on psp).

Of what i know about em' at least. Too much leveling up over and over again. stuff like that. I didn’t say shooters had more variety, I just meant most RPGs are all like Final fantasy and stuff.
