Ps Vita JRPGs that are GOOD and CHEAP

[@TrulySilentLie]

Stranger of Sword City mention is always nice, definitely my favourite of the genre ^^ Glad to see it on here

[@loki43]

Don't forget the incredible first chapter of trails of cold steel is between $15 and $18 used on the vita. As always another great video Eric.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

I covered CIB games in this video. If we're talking loose carts, of course we'll find a lot of games for less than 20. If you see TOCS CIB for 15 and 18, PLEASE LEAVE THE LINK HERE :)

[@themarchinggoblin8294]

BUYER BEWARE THOUGH: I dunno how it was released in America but over here in UK only ffX came on the card. X2 came as a download code in the same box. So yeah don't grab it used.because the code for X2 will prob be used. Sword city - my first vita game. Adore it!

[@stashmerkin9576]

Same over here in the US. X2 is NOT a small game either. Takes up a lot of space on those expensive memory cards.

Persona 4 golden and ys memories of celceta go for around $20-$25 CiB each. Those two games are slowly rising year over year though so buy it now!

Yep, well said. I thought about Celceta for this video but was surprised to see it goes for more than 20 now, even on price charting, yikes.

Thanks for the video. :D The vita definitely has a lot of expensive RPGs so nice to see some cheap ones recommend. :)

No problem, I just hope people can find them for such prices. Can't believe no local resellers here in Canada sell them for that.

Man, Freedom Wars is a seriously underrated hunting game! I really wish they make a sequel for this, since it ended in a very stiff cliff hanger. :c

[@stashmerkin9576]

Freedom Wars is insanely cheap for such a good (& exclusive) game. There are a lot of updates for it that will take up space on your memory card though. Soul Sacrifice is also fun. Same type of game as FW but you're fighting demons in the underworld. Has some interesting game mechanics too. Erick if you like 1984, check out Animal Farm by the same author. It's my favorite of the two. "All animals are created equal. But some are more equal than others."

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yeah, I've read it. Great piece of literature.

[@kiaranjay5153]

Late to this, but Soul Sacrifice and SS Delta are some of the best games on the Vita in my opinion! Very cool gameplay, an excellent story, and some cool style and music. Would absolutely recommend!

[@HajimotoSaito]

I liked the vid, specially seeing Stranger of Sword City Vanilla. It was great alongside Revisited. A shame Demon Gaze 1 and 2 are not included, both from the same creators and publishers. EArch and GW DoFP are shocking, I didn't know that they are cheap now. Soul Sacrifice in short is Dante's Inferno x Monster Hunter Genre x Grimm Brother's Fairy Tales to the extreme x Arthrian Myths(Lost in Translation). It is an exclusive and Delta is the Definitive version. What made it unique is that your character is a mage/spellcaster. Spells have limited use and they break and cost lacrima(in game currency) to repair. You can interact with the environment allowing you to sacrifice or absorb items to temporarilly use other spells you didn't have to restpring offerings(spells). Defeating enemies and bosses allows you to save them free hp heals(bosses become AI allies) or Sacrifice them restoring spell use as long as it is not broken. This is where you get essence(drops for sigils[passive offerings boosting stats or spells' power]). Doing this also makes your character stronger. Higher Sacrifice points = Power, Save points = Defence and Regen and equal is balnced. Delta allowed switching faiths. Grim are Neutral and adds Fate where it is randomised and restores spells, Save is heal, Sacrifice is damage boosts if mempry serves right. Avalon are the original Faith in Vanilla, Fate allows damage boosts. There is one for Save savvy but I forgot what it is called. Basically Save restores spells, Sacrifice is free hp heal and Fate is damage boost(or was ot the otherway around).

[@Harie0]

Good video. I have the PS TV, so I am only slightly invested in vita games. I also never picked up many due to having many games to play already. I may plug it up and give Freedom Wars a shot though. I want to see it it gives me 1984 vibes as well. Games that have issues don't really bother me. They have their own charm cause those issues usually stem from either the results of a small team or some experimental gameplay

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Thank you.

[@TrulySilentLie]

Oh and about Soul Sacrifice, I know there was another version released later, think it was called like Beta or something like that, not sure if it was a sequel or an enhanced version, so if you revisit that game might be worth looking the two versions up

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Isn't Beta digital only, though?

[@altho2022]

it's soul sacrifice "delta"

[@ErickLandonRPG]

[@TrulySilentLie]

@@ErickLandonRPG It might have been digital only know that you mention it

[@AikuraShardless]

I got a physical copy of Delta - I think it might have been one of those Play-Asia releases, where they release it in English mainly for the Singapore market. Play-Asia is sold out, but you can get them on ebay still - they usually cost at least twice as much though. :( But it really is the definitive version.

[@Nate1979]

Heads up. WOFF is a beautiful port, but the load times per battle could be between 40-60 seconds. That gets exhausting about halfway through. Go for the PS4 version if possible.

I'm impressed... you go to Mexico to buy RPGs. As mexican and RPG fan I... wasn't expecting that. Who knew Mexico was a good place to get hidden gems? Might want to share the name and location of your resellers, for the ones I know are a bit lacking.

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Facebook groups at Guadalajara. I often saw people selling Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice, FFX HD and World of Final Fantasy for the equivalent of 15 USD.

[@S_Hyde]

Maaaaaan, Freedom Wars is my favorite monster killing game, I played it a ton when I was in college and even managed to get the platinum somehow.

[@holymegadave]

I started to play a couple of weeks ago. im in love with that game. The feeling of progression.. you need to unlock very trivial things xD like running...or talking to other prisoners.

[@papervoxels]

I love Stranger in Sword City! I own it on PC, but its well worth owning wherever you can get it, especially if you enjoy dungeon crawlers like the Etrian Odyssey games or Mary Skelter Nightmares! Operation Babel was a terrible reskin of that fantastic game and Experience should feel ashamed for making it. Great vid, Erick!

[@ErickLandonRPG]

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the Operation games either. They felt reaaaally generic.

[@nickwick35]

World of Final Fantasy is fun but I found it gets boring sooooo fast. I gotta play it again and give it another chance but I remember it was so easy and linear and some characters were beyond annoying.

[@nasredinhodja]

Playing first person dungeon crawler is as pleasant as reading pop-up book

[@ArtumTsumia]

_Stranger of Sword City_ is a good mention, though as I recall, some of the later "quests" are annoying/confusing. _Freedom Wars_ is a great "Hunting Game" though while many of the ideas will be familiar to people who have played things like _Monster Hunter_ or _God Eater,_ the implementation is quite different. End game was a bit bland as I recall, with figuring out exactly what missions you need to do to find the drops you need being awkward, particularly since the enemy names are forgettable, quickly being replaced with nicknames. Regardless, I've still got the title installed on my Vita and I enjoy the odd mission here or there. _Soul Sacrifice,_ as I remember, is in a similar category to _Freedom Wars._ Best way to describe it is as themed around blood magic. I remember having a reasonably good time with the demo, though I remember the environments being bland in the way _God Eater_ was. Can't comment too much on the full release, but it's a title that I've not really heard much praise or revilement for. It was just kind of a game that happened, and later had a complete version or such released under the name _Soul Sacrifice Delta._ Probably worth checking out if you're picking it up for $15 or so though.

I didn't played it yet, but as far as I know, stacking is optional. Considering that chibi looking is already weird you can't take the game that serious. Different ways of catching sounds tiring but at least can put some challenge into it. Throwing pokeballs is all the same every time, while in SMT is not boring exactly because it's nice to have different ways of "catching" the demons. Maybe that's not so much negative after all.
