Top 25 Best PS Vita JRPG Games | Japanese roleplaying video games

[@Night_Rose_94]

4:37 Oh my God... I've been searching for that game for over a decade. I'm actually crying right now. Thank you so much!

[@MaskedGuyCh]

No Dragon's Crown? I am disappointed. But I'm happy that Odin Sphere was there; amazing game.

[@821lancevance]

Persona 4 will always be #1 unless persona 5 gets a port

[@captainminsupala124]

DC Comics are the best can't convince myself until p5 gets a port. I have psvita yet no game as i use it for ps4 control

[@Boolahan]

DC Comics are the best The persona 4 will still be a close #1 rather than a distant #1 hahaha jk. I liked p4g more than 5. I platinumed them both

[@rafaelbruno2128]

And then p4g would still be the best. P5 has the worst characters a persona game ever had.

[@Boolahan]

Rafael Bruno I personally would disagree, I don't know if I would say the worst characters. Persona 1 I felt like was lacking for some characters overall "character". But I absolute thing p4g is better, for me anyway. Kanji and Yosuke have made me laugh so hard, and I thought the villain was better. Way better, felt like p5 villain had been done already. (Not the main villain but the character they mentioned in the beginning who had sold you out.) Also I liked how p4g you could actually just miss the true ending. There were like 2 endings that you could finish the game and think that was it, but you have to make sure you keep going and figure it out. My favorite in order would be P4G, P3FES, and then P5.

[@rafaelbruno2128]

Mike BLUU i understand your opinion.

[@alvarocn7996]

With só many JRPGs on the Vita, it's a Hard list 😊

[@anthonygilford3097]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, Tokyo Xanadu, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and Persona 4 Golden are really fun .

[@justdev8965]

Soul Sacrifice Delta, Oreshika T.B., and Muramasa are by far the best games on Vita for me. Easy 9.5/10. Very nearly flawless. And FUN!!!

[@LightShadowButterfly]

I was really surprised by how much I liked Tokyo Xanadu. Looking for more games to buy, as they tend to be pretty cheap and there's some great ones!

[@yeppumm1192]

I was late to the vita, got one 2 years ago, it’s become my number 1 console, I feel like I’ll be playing games on their for years to come, so many great and length titles !!

[@Chanman87]

Keep PS Vita alive Sony! These videos are great. Great video! Can we get a Top western titles?

[@xRphustlehard33]

Just finished Ys Memories of Celcetta. What a game! Your video helped me decide to add Atelier to the collection & playlist next. Great video bro 👌

[@dkllhholjlzd]

I missed Dragon's Crown there. VanillaWare's JRPG Trinity of SuperGames should always be there. I was also surprised not to see any God Eater on the list, even if it was the second part. For the rest, very good list!!

Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG of all time by critics and players, what it means?

[@kaharakahara]

nothing came better after it

[@Boolahan]

MrJRPGcrazy I haven't actually played it just watched a little bit of gameplay

[@kaharakahara]

it's a classic silent protagonist, gather members to bully the boss and save the world turn-based rpg, what's good about it is the story was well written. Many endings of beating the boss because of time travel stuff

[@Boolahan]

kahara Yeah I knew about that. A co worker of mine always talked highly of the game. I am a fan of JRPGs and I have the game I just haven't had much of a reason to play it other than knowing its a good game, I will get around to it someday I am sure

Sadly, Persona 4 Golden, the number 1 on the list, already ported to PC (steam).

Hello! A PlayScore is a standard rating we created that aggregates critic and gamer reviews. So we average out critic reviews and gamer reviews in each platform from many sources, and combining them into one unified rating. There's a bit more mathematics into it, but that's the basics. Hope that helps! :)

Watching this back to back with the 3DS list, why would anyone choose the Vita? Most of these are fan service games. P4 Golden and Tokyo Xanadu are the only ones that don't have a better version available that I would play.
