Some are better than others, but I honestly enjoyed every one except for Graces F. I thought the characters were all boring and lacked depth except Hubert and Malik, plus the story was kind of weak. But its all a matter of taste when it comes to JRPG's. I didn't like Legendia's attempt at 3D, but the interaction between party members is priceless.

I want the PSP version of Eternia bad, I have it on PS1 though (Destiny II lol). The few copies I've found all look bootleg, like the cover art/book look faded like they were printed at someones house.

EDIT: hell yeah man, I'm perfectly happy to keep playing my PS3. Thankfully RPG's don't push hardware limits that often

Eternia never came out in the states on PSP, keept that in mind. I play the PAL version, and its only japanese with english subs which I fucking love! I also use to have Tales of Destiny 1 and 2 for PSX, and Symphonia for Cube. I regretfully got rid of all of them a few years back, now Destiny 2 (eternia) is worth about 2 times as much as when I sold it the first time... sad day, it was basically mint too. Fortunately I think the PSP version might be better, atleast visually.

Yeah I know, would have been nice if we got it though. I wanted to hear the Japanese voices so started looking for a PAL copy last year. But all the copies I find look like this

I've ordered two copies, one came in a black UMD casing. Both looked even worse in person lol. That's the real cover art, but both I received looked like flea market copies.

That sucks, I hate it when that happens. Thankfully whenever I've sold games in the past I never got rid of any RPG's, just never been able to do it for some reason. The only one I sold was Albert Odyssey to a friend, but ended up buying it back from her earlier this year.

I remember seeing Eternia, and Breath of Fire 3 for PSP at an old game shop that has since been bought by gamestop (those bastards...) and they held some PAL imports in stock. They were too expensive for me at the time so I had to pass them up, I have been wanting BOF 3 since, to complete my handheld collection of BOF 1-3, I have 1 and 2 on GBA.

There's just something about portable RPG's. Some of my favorite things in my collection for sure

Just saw an ad on facebook saying graces f and abyss on 3DS are 50% on the namco store, I go there to see that yes abyss is $15 but its out of stock... what a waste thats the one I would have picked up. Ah well.

Damn that would of been a good deal. I would have bought it again just to play it in 3D.

Really hope so. That was one I was so sure would never come over, so it'd be great to be surprised over it. The Vita is gaining serious traction nowadays, so it actually doesn't sound unlikely.

Not sure I would be so quick to trust that, click the gamestop link as the source given in that artivle, i'll link it here for you. Its been removed, maybe it was an early leak though? http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/games/t ... ive/114644

Yeah Gamestop and Amazon are notorious for posting a listing before games are announced then pulling them lol. Gamestop was where I first found out about Xillia before it was announced. Doesn't mean this one isn't a fluke though, but I've got my fingers crossed either way.
