Indeed, the series became quite popular and famous in that period to stake a claim as the fans’ favorite game for a long time.

The series generally features a hysterical cast of characters. It, nevertheless, features Enda, a fairly well-known villain who happens to be a favorite of many.

3. Hexyz Force

Hexyz Force is hailed as it ranks among the best PSP RPGs to ever come in the market in the post SNES era. For this reason, and there is a good testimony to this, it is not an ordinary run-of-the-mill RPGs series. For starters, it offers you the choice to pick from one of two characters whose motivations, plots, and parties are as different as heaven and earth. It is quite similar to Mana Khemia 2. For the ordinary gamer, you will feel as if you are deeply engaged in two games in one. As the story unfolds, you are ever together with the starring characters. The irony is: You never get to join forces or meaningfully bond. Yes, Hexyz Force can give you good thrills and throbs.

2. Jeanne d’Arc

This series follows the wildly familiar story of Jeanne Arc. This is the famous historical lady who tenaciously fought against British forces in the infamous 100 Years War. There are, however, some significant deviations from the original story. For instance, throughout the series, there is much magical obsession and demonic possession. The RPG is masterfully crafted and dramatized in animated cutscenes. It is also replete with voice acting. There is the usual classical gameplay and tactics formula. There are, however, no classes, and the player has to decide the best thing to do in these circumstances. Jean d’Arc is well-reputed as a veritable level 5 gem.

1. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

The Crisis Core is an action-oriented PRG whose star is Zack, Aeri’s lover. You can never lack what to do as the game proceeds. The gameplay is streamlined and tight. For instance, Zack is free to change his stats and learn the spells by utilizing Materia. The piece allows you to enjoy some missions on the fly in case you have little time to use in the game proper. Final Fantasy VII is a fantastic game that deserves every gamer’s undivided attention.
