  • i know that this review have more than 2 years old but... did you know that if you pres i think "X" when using a normal attack you can do a follow up and attack again?

  • I bought this game a couple years ago but I'm finally getting around to play it. Even though it's a grind-fest it's a really great "old school" RPG. Also, Atlus did a great job localizing it. I can't wait for Growlanser Wayfarer of Time on the PSP this summer!

  • It just hit me! When he mentioned this game being like a ps2 title on the psp I got excited! B/c we're moving on to the vita. . . so that means we're going to get ps3 comparable games on a portable! system! Holy crap!! I just went pipi in my pants!

  • I play it on iPod.

    Love the ambush. Hate not ambushing. Hate the reversing controls. Love cutscenes. Storyline isn't too bad either.

    Hate the sidequests. Damn you Engle...something...

  • "Crimson Gem Saga, for the Sony PSP. Fantasy adventure games like this are a dime a dozen for the Nintendo DS. We don't get that many of them on the PSP though which, is kinda a shame because... just watch the screen." LOL

  • love the opening animation to this game.

  • It's a shame how so many great games are only released on handheld consoles these days as opposed to all the junk coming out on home consoles.

  • Is this game worth playing?

  • can sumone plz help im stuck at mirage village idk where to go plz reply!!! =)

  • this game is freking hard! i dint get bother to see the good endig of this Korean stuped RPG

  • This game's battle system is like combined mimana iyar chronicle and hexyz force.

  • @metalslugfreak15 Reminds me more of a Lunar since Mimana is real time and not take turn.

  • I have been working in the Video game industry for over 12 yrs and I have to say I enjoy your reviews so much. They are awesome and how you go about it is top notch. I have purchased a few PSP game based on your recommendations. Keep up the good work. Your 2011 E3 was great too. Funny

  • 5:01 no, this is my viagra sword!

  • best thing about this review....more fantasy games need more mini-guns, that is so ture

  • Download free adnroidsoft com

  • this game sucks for me.... cuz the ending sucks....

  • This guy talks like the G-Man from the Half Life series

  • does anyone know why on the iphone / ipod touch version, you can't get the clear save in the end after defeating Phariankes?

  • This guy likes some shitty games!

  • this is a must have for me. I live in europe and of course it was never published here. but I will import it. when I first saw the visuals I knew I have to have that game. reminds me of legend of mana for the ps1. defenetly will buy that game.

  • Lol, did you notice that the way how the old SW trilogy started is the same how the new trilogy ended, with a constantly whining bitching moaning main Character

  • dime a dozen for the DS? the Atlus games alone make the PSP better for RPG fans, not to mention all the amazing PS1 games you can download for it. 

  • Comment removed

  • I just found out that this game was actually made in Korea so technically it's a KRPG instead of a JRPG.

  • @Kingofprinces85 but JRPG is not actually a Genre RPG is and JRPG just says where it comes from and almost NOTHING about gameplay (I am sick and tired of people thinking that JRPG is a separate Genre.)

  • @doombybbr I think people think like that because the RPGs made in Korea, Japan and places of that are nature are different from the ones made anywhere else.

  • @Kingofprinces85 many people mean by jrpg not made by japanese but the gameplay style life final fantasy wich was a HUGE HIT and made in japan ... since then many games tried to copy it and they were called jrpgs altough it can be used in all situations :D

  • You can also download this game from the app store :)

    What a good buy that was! :D

  • @Zeroned666 it has a major problem though i have it it keeps on crashing :(

  • You can play them if you hack your psp.... ;)

  • @Schizor88 already did

  • Also, PSP Go is a step in the right direction. I am impressed with massive collections of games and have seen a rather impressive one with my own eyes, I have this to say about the slowly but surely disappearing game disc/cartridge...Instead of a physical room of game cartridges, why not have a Holodeck like in Star Trek and show them your game collection.... :)

  • @Poonard obviously your idea is very right. main problem is of course that the psp platform had the UMD drive before, and the GO doesn't have it anymore, so can't play those anymore

    and its not like, you can somehow register them and then download them for free because you own them

    PSPGo failed horribly as it should.

    But its of course true, EVENTUALLY everything will be virtual: steam, PSN, Xbox Live, OnLive, whatever

  • @Ishidasouken fortunately, i never owned a PSP before i bought this go...so im not offended in the slightest.

  • i hate random fight rpgs....i know purist of the genre will bitch about such a thing being said.

    I agree with Mark that it's a nice change.

  • Crimson Gem Saga or Hexyz Force? which is better.

  • @ben2point0 hexyz force is terrible. CGS, definitely.

  • @ben2point0

    Hexyz Force is terrible? why? btw I did buy both but haven't played either yet. 

  • there is a similar rpg in the psp and it is caled tales of the world, you should try it

  • @TheWingrider92

    same company

  • spinel looks like he only got undawher and a cape

  • @Blackout1140 And a chest plate. Yep, that's a girl actually.

  • This game was developed by IronNos Co.,Ltd. which is a South Korean developer. It's not Japanese as it said in this review.

  • "More fantasy games need mini-guns" lol

  • aha killian, thats my name xD

  • Comment removed

  • I'm tring to get back into my PSP, being that I use my PS3 most of the time. I own games like God of War, Crisi Core, Wipeout, Untold Legends and I need some other good ones. for an RPG is this the one for me? I am not a casual gamer but I haven't played turned based in a long while.

  • @UseYourDisillusions It's actually really fun 0.o

  • @xXLilW56Xx I'll give it a shot, THANKS! I just bought Ys SEVEN Collectors Edition and the combat is very addicting. I'm also interested in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

  • @UseYourDisillusions These RPG games are games I'd recommend to you: Crimson Gem Saga, Hexyz Force, Lunar Silver Star Harmony, Star Ocean Second Departure, Dissidia FF, Persona 3, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. Especially the last 4 games I mentioned are EXCEPTIONALLY good.

  • @Jiyaijo I bought Birth By Sleep and I am very suprised with how the game plays. I love the custom combat and light hearted story. I have bought Ys SEVEN and Kingdom Hearts, but next will be, Dead Rising 2, **Fallout New Vegas, **Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2 and Assassigns Creed Brotherhood. I have pre-ordered Collectors Editions on the **. It's a great time to be a gamer! I will use your list for my PSP titles and Thanks.

  • @UseYourDisillusions I know right? Birth By Sleep has really fun gameplay. Its definitely one of the stronger points of the game! The other games you mentioned are good as well, have fun with those! And You're welcome dude!

  • @Jiyaijo Dude I've was following Hexyz Force for like a year be4 it came out but I never had a psp, finally I got a psp last January and now HF is already a "rare" game. I can't find it anywhere and on amazon, it's pretty damn expensive. What is so good about that game? Tell me about it. add me and pm me if you have to.

  • @InsideAVitalSuit Wow dude, I already own a PS3, my PSP bit the dust months ago. My comment was from a year ago so sorry man, I can't help you with where to get it, but I do know that the game had 2 Story Modes: One from a boy's perspective, One from a girl's perspective. It was a great RPG, I can tell you that. But I don't remember it very clearly, It's been over a year since I played it. Sorry dude!

  • @Jiyaijo Whaddya mean bit the dust? Does it not work? It's okay man, soon enough I will find a copy im sure...

  • @InsideAVitalSuit The analog stick broke man, I don't feel like paying to fix it. I'm playing the classics like Final Fantasy VII on it which don't need the analog stick. Besides that, I'm always playing my PS3. I hope you can find the copy man!

  • @Jiyaijo Oh that sucks ass! I tend to always use the D-Pad in games when I have the option. I'm sure on the psVita the analog sticks will be a lot better since most of the games being developed are focusing on using both sticks. ARe you planning on getting one? Can you imagine the RPG's that will be released for it? Hopefully great handrawn ones like this! Maybe it's just me but I think the PSP right now as is, is the new "PS1" When it comes to RPG's...

  • @InsideAVitalSuit No, I won't get the Vita. I saw the games that were announced for the Vita and most games were also announced for the PS3. Therefore, no point in getting it anymore. I was excited when Uncharted was announced for it, but that's one of the few originals. Gravity Rush and Escape Plan looked great too, but I'm not getting a whole handheld just for 3 games! I didn't see any RPG's announced for the Vita as well, which is a shame.

  • @Jiyaijo NO RPG'S?!? Dang man, that blows. Yeah I'm going to be super careful about what handhelds I buy from now on, when the 3DS came out I traded a couple games (ones i didnt care for anyways) for a brand new unopened 3DS. and lets just say if I had bought it I Would be extremely pissed off at myself. Did you hear about Nintendo doing a relaunch of the 3DS and adding another analog stick? They really messed up a lot this time around.

  • @InsideAVitalSuit Well if you got the 3DS practically for free, then you should be happy. The 3DS has some great games, like Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But Mario and Luigi are coming separetely as well. Star Fox 64 Remake released, Metal Gear Solid 3D will be arriving too. Also, Bravely Default and Tales of the Abyss are two RPG's I just heard will be coming to the 3DS. But like you said, I hope Nintendo releases a new 3DS (Lite?) with two analog sticks for the greater good!

  • I'm loving this game. My characters levels are in the 50s and I'm in Chapter 2.

  • I am the unluckiest man in the whole world. I live in Europe, and they don't release games like these there. SO yeah, forget that I'll ever play a game like this one. Screw the developers for neglecting Europe, if I saw them in real, I'd fuck them up!! ._.

  • @Jiyaijo you can order it from Amazon.com from usa and they will deliver it to you at EU like i did to get some titles that is not available at EU.

  • @aramco123 Lol, nope hacked my PSP already. Got all the games I want and many more! I like it better this way, still thanks though!

  • @Jiyaijo haha :P

    i will hack it to save some money

  • You guys should check out Y S Seven. I thought this was the best rpg, but Ys seven tops this!

  • Out for iPhone too!

  • oh i am definitly getting this. i prefer psp vs ds because i can watch videos and listen to music and i have a modded psp so i have it password protected and i have an alarm clock on it, speaking of wich, does anyone know where i could find one that can play mp3's?

  • This or persona 3?

  • @haganum i own p3p

  • @haganum ...Please just go get P3 and call it a day.

  • i've downloaded a buttload of rpgs on my iphone, chaos rings being one of them. never played any of them a lot. chaos rings was so confusing. however i've downloaded this one yesterday, and i like it because the hero is someone i can relate to. and the graphics are pretty nice. and the story isn't too confusing.

  • Have you considered doing iDevice Game Reviews?

    Believe me there are a great list/ library in the Devices, Chaos Rings is one worth looking into.

  • @cmaotaku agreed.

  • im at the last chapter and going to the tower soon

    somone tell me the best formation please?

    Killian,spinel,acelora and lahduk?

  • this game so awesome

    i like this

    but there no episode 2=.=

  • A real mixed bag. Fantastic animation, great voice acting, good characters and some great humour...but....my oh my what a grinder, and the dungeon designs are extremely boring which really makes the grinding hard on the head as you approach the conclusion. Its certainly one of the better RPGs out for the PSP but it still really dragged at the end.

  • " the little midget people" LMAO nice review

  • Thank you for respecting Star Wars by saying that the original were better. I bow before thee!

  • its one of my favorites if not my favorite psp game!

  • I think Brave story is much better...... Well for me, it is.....

  • I have a big problem with combinaison skill i have mana and the good people on the battle ...WHY i cant use my combinaison skill?

  • Final boss is pharieneekes wizard shown at first cutscene of the game

  • Good game and i hate when people compare games with others.

  • How good is this game compared to Hexyz Force and Brave Story?

  • @AnimeSage285 Much better than Hexyz Force which I found rather "thin". Haven't played Brave Story.

  • Character art has some thick outlines here. I also noticed that on Chinatown Wars PSP. Coincidence? Maybe I just notice too much.

  • @n00berania yea jeanne d' arc also has thick outlines

  • This game looks good. I like RPG's because they have good stories and fighting.

  • Wish this came to Europe...

    Oh well hopes that never come true, moving on.

  • men how i wish crimson gem saga 2 would be made now

  • How come every one says there aren't many rpgs for the psp? The whole reason I'm getting a psp in a few weeks is because of the mass amount of awesome looking rpg's I've been finding.

  • Its Korean not Japanese. And it is the sequel of The Korean RPG game Astonishia Story...

  • needs dual audio, but it's still good. Difficulty and balance sorta go wonky at times, i was ambushed in Mt. Blood-something and all 4 characters took 1 dmg. enemies becomes stronger and weaker. i sometimes play wondering if i'm going to die this time, or will i die next time. damage is crazy; barely hurts an enemy unless you have better equipment.

  • The only thing that got me playing this game is the voice acting.

  • Really was disappointed by this. Couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Boring story, boring, shallow gameplay. Very weak.

  • @BrainDecrease Did you play classic Rpg's? Like on the Snes or Ps1?

  • I think this game is great...But it's unbalanced in some way. The Reviewer didn't play this game very far and at the beginning it's easy. But later even enemies you should have overlevelled by far still do enourmous damage to your characters although you have much better equipment by the time. I love grinding my characters, but in this game it' almost too much...I'm still playing it and have fun with it-and the game looks much more beautiful on the psp screen-but well balanced:NO!

  • You should review Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP

  • hahaha strongest Skunk evar. xD sweet, good review was allot of fun.

  • Avoid Astonishia Story for the PSP at all costs, Crimson Gem Saga is waaaaaaaaaaay better than that crap of a game.

    Crimson Gem Saga or Astonishia Story 2 in some countries, is a good RPG for the PSP.

  • good review cheers

  • Ordered yesterday from amazon

  • The voice acting while in the midst of battle reminds me of valkyrie profile.

  • goooood review! was fun watching it

  • It would be so cool, if the creator remade this game in 3d, like final fantasy Crisis core.

  • It NOT being like Crisis Core is the reason I want it.

  • luv the theme song in the beginning..

  • good review man!

  • If I can find this for $20 or less I'll pick it up.

    I love the visual style.

  • i think everyone can play this, because its not to hard and thats good at least for me. Im on 33 hours of gameplay and still got to beat a optional boss and 3 other bosses before i beat the game should get me 4 more hours.

  • this game sweet!!!!lots of challenges mostly on the skill tree you need first to reveal the skill b4 learning it you need to fight to earn sp so you'll never get bored

  • its korean, not japanese...n the ending is some of the gayest i've ever seen...i'm sorry...

  • if you really want stress go buy this game.... C.G.S is challenge, you have to grind a LOT , is hell to fight a few monsters

  • the game is korean... originally released as Atonishia Story 2... just to let you know.. it isnt japanese XD

  • looks cool!

  • the battles look so amazingly smooth and fun to play.

  • Reminds me of Sword Of Mana

  • amazing game

  • Is this Online?

    like Adhoc

  • Man the game is really challenging,lots of power levelling is needed,the skill system is pretty confusing too.

  • lol, your obviously a nOOb

  • I finished the game,with every character with every single skill.all in max level.I didnt say i couldnt finish it.you fucking piece of shit.

  • lol, what a lying ass n00b. just admit you suck at it and you'll never be good at rpg's you stupid ass noob

  • i wanted to know about this game and your review helped :D im now going to look for it in shops etc, thanks

  • Hi mate! is there any other games for PSP, what like to this game?? I think this type of games is Amazing!!!! I Love it ;)

  • 'Crimson Gem Saga' if I find out this is crap its your ass.

  • It's not Oath Of Felghana 3, it's Oath In Felghana... and it's a remake of Ys III. However, you're right. I have it on PC, including the English patch, and it's quite good. Although, all the newer Ys games are great, not just this one?

  • @ansharzero

    didnt really pay attention to name just called it ys 3 but said it longer for other people to see

    anyways i think only the third one is awesome but orgins looked good but i didnt play it.

  • No, not only the third one is awesome. You don't know what you're talking about. The entire Ys series is great, not just that one game lol.

  • @ansharzero

    u played it?

    im thinking of getting ys seven for psp if it is in english but im not so sure b/c reviews wernt so good

  • I haven't played Ys 7, but have played lots of the other ones. Trust me, there's no way Ys 7 could be bad, since the other newer ones have all been so good. If you enjoy Oath In Felghana, any Ys game really might be up your alley.

  • looks awsome i need to get this

  • Dude, everyone has been talking about the game. I want to say (on the other hand) that your review was amazing. Your sarcasm and jokes + your voice reminds me of talk show hosts. It was awesome. Great job : )

  • is this game on the psp go?

  • yes it is

  • lol the boobs while fighting

  • I really like this game. The ending was kind of shitty. Feels like the hurried the game in the end.

  • kickass sweet :)

  • The only game that I know besides this that has the 'shopping cart' is another Atlus game called Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

  • "More fantasy games need miniguns"

    Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness on the psp.

    Disgaea 2, to be realised SOON on the psp.

  • I didnt like Disgaea. Prefer FF Tactics and Jeanne D Arc.

    Everybody likes Disgaea so no doubt it is great.

  • the fighting menu resembles breath of fire

  • lol, awesome review. RPGs DO need more miniguns

  • is this game worth getting ???

  • it is

  • If you like classic style RPGs yes. Light hearted game that's well written.

  • thx for the advice i'll probally get it now

  • of course its awsome

  • hehehe nostalgia of ragnarok online

    But Nice Graphics

    Old School RPG Rules!

  • man i died like crazy in this game a day!!!

    and i lvl up like 10 lvl in a day too

  • looks like a SAGA FRONTIER game more like this please!

  • Damn I like what I see, am going to get this game.

  • I like this game, but man is it difficult.

    This game totally kicks my ass :(

  • this game looks pretty cool, reminds me of the star ocean games a bit

  • this game is hard and you have to train hard in every dungeon to avoid grinding

  • MARK!! YOU MUST REVIEW CRISIS CORE FF7!!!! That is the best game on the PSP by ffffarrrr.

  • Best on PSP... hahahahahahahha...

  • Im gonna go kiss my ass now...

  • this isnt japanese its korean XD

  • Yeah, it's Korean but I think it's published by Atlus.

  • shocking moment!!

    this game is the first game from korea to translate in english

  • Magna Carta and Ragnarok Online are Korean games too.

  • 5:03 I like that!!!

  • Mark Plz Review Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP or for the PS1!! PLZ

  • this game is pretty hard. -_- i recommend lvling ur characters ALOT.

  • This is a fantastic game... I love this game and seriously underrated! Thank you classic game room for this and class of heroes reviews! This game rocks. It sucks that most people will never play this as gamestop would not even preorder this as they though it wouldn't sell... I hate you gamestop. Not every game needs to be Ghaylo, come on now!

  • i have both DS and PSP,and i have to disagree with the graphics thing,i already saw graphics like this in the ds in the VP:covenant of the plume.

  • Try tales of symphonia I need to know if my buy is right :/

  • Good game from the series, as well as Phantasia and Tales of the Abyss.
