I'll buy Oreshika, Demon Gaze for Vita, and Dark Souls Scholar for PS4 NOW!
Tempted by a lot of titles on the list, well last Steam Sales did nothing to me, God bless PSN Sale!!

I've been under the impression it's more or less like the Neptunia games in terms of gameplay, yeah? I usually enjoy those so that's why this one has been on my radar... was just waiting for it to come down in price.

The only problem is that you haven't played them yet. For shame.

Yeah if you like Neptunia you should be able to enjoy this one as well! They're very similar and I like both, even though overall Neptunia has more charm because of the references.
So typical, FF5 and FF6 go half price a couple of days after I get them to set up the Vita as a dedicated FF (and Persona) machine.
Still, everything's in place for the playthrough of 4-10 in order now anyway.
Any other decent FF-style RPGs for the Vita that'd be worth picking up in this sale? Can't have a look at all of them while I'm in work.

May have been missed at bottom of last page:
Edit:
Enemy Unknown is the base game.
Enemy Within is the base game plus an expansion that adds a lot to the gameplay. Go for that one - price is similar/the same right?

this is my one recurring complaint with psn sales, main games going on sale but dlc staying full price

There are some damn good deals on PS3, hot damn. If anyone ends up with only a couple of bucks left, take Godhand for 3€. Yakuza 4 is also pretty crazy.
Although I wasn't motivated to spend much more time with old RPGs, I might now bite for Suikoden II at that price....

Fuck it, bought Dark Souls II.
Again.
Again.
To be fair, I only have the regular one on PC without addons, so I have no idea what to expect from this one

Devil May Cry HD for me.
I wish the Vita's account handling was more like the Ps3 though, as mine is set to US and it's too much of a faff to change it over.

how good is toukiden kiwami compared to the monster hunter series? And considering drakengard 3, is it really worth it if I loved nier?
Yes, the changes in PS4 Scholar make it a much better game

Is the content from the addons in DS2 easily accessible or would I have to google errything due to omg dark souls

Cause if it is PS3 Scholar then you aren't getting the full changes, just the dlc and one extra boss fight

Yes, majority of PSX games on EU PSN are vita compatible but majority of PS1 classics on EU PSN are 50 Hz.
Indeed it does.
Um you probably have to google the locations of two of the three keys you need.
The key to Frozen Crown you will find on your normal journey but Iron and Sunken are a bit out of the way

The series is called Ys
It's an action rpg series, one of the best you've never played.
Get all the games and discover greatness.
Get it, it runs fine on the Vita.

Thanks!
Will I miss a lot if I play only Lighting Returns without previous FF13 games? Or will I miss tons of story lines?

I have no idea why I keep confusing the names of Time and Eternity and Resonance of Fate together. They're not even remotely similar.
Anyway. gonna get Resonance of Fate.

That's a big fucking list. Thinking about Suikoden. The Ys PSP games (never played Ys).
I'm still processing the list because it is too big.

Alright I bought it! I'm gonna play it later today.
Ys is awesome. Fast and fun action rpgs.
Nights holds up. Great port too, gave fun

Yes! It's a much much improved remake of the first game. It's great!
You should also get the Plutia and Peashy character DLC. I rarely reccomend DLC, but those two make the game even better.

If I had to pick one Atelier game (playing on Vita) any thoughts about which would be best?
Thanks - and sold! my bad about the name. Typing on my phone and overwhelmed by so many offers!

Breath of Fire III, Suikoden 1 and 2.
Sucks so bad that most PS1\2 games are gimped 50hz versions :/.
Haul so far:
Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles
Hatsune Miku Project Diva f 2nd
Prinny 1 and 2
Valkyria Chronicles 2
Will definitely get Oreshika, but holding off because I dunno if I'll renew PSPlus next month. Considering Breath of Fire 3 and a few others.
This sale is much better than the Steam sale was for me, although even with the discount Miku 2nd was steep, and there's no discount for the exorbitant DLC prices either.

Get these games, but be forwarned that these will fill up your 64 GB Mem. card fast.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
*Good ports of the games
Dissidia 012
*Comes with the first game's campaign
FF Tactics: War of the Lion
*Has slowdown when casting abilities, but if you look past that you can still enjoy it
Final Fantasy 1-3
*FF 1 and 2 are not the PSX versions and play differently to the original NES versions, but are still good and worth playing. FF3 is based on the NDS ver.
Suikoden 1 and 2
*Some of the best jRPGs from the PSX era. 2 is considered far better but get 1 for story purposes
Metal Gear Solid
*Despite being 50 Hz, it was optimized for it from what I played.
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
*3 games in one. Also comes with the JP dub, meaning you get the glorious voice of Norio Wakamoto as Dracula. Just go grab a Save file off Gamefaqs.com or somewhere, throw it into your Vita and you can play the OG Rondo of Blood.
Oh and this is an action adventure game, so get in on this ish.
MGS Special Missions
*If you want to play some MGS stealth in short bursts, give this a try. Various VR missions to try out.
DanganRonpa 1 and 2
*2 of the best Visual novels on the Vita, get them to discover TRUE DESPAIR.
Disgaea 3 and/or 4
*It's Disgaea, meaning insanely huge level caps and SRPG goodness
Dragon's Crown
*A beat'em-up with some delicious visuals
Hatsune Miku games
*Get these if you like rhythm games
MGS HD Collection
*Good ports of MGS 2, 3 and PW, you can never have enough Kojima wackiness in your life and on your beautiful OLED
Oreshika
*Heard good things about this RPG game, it's like all the hotness over at VitaGAF, get in on dis ish.
Persona 4 Golden
*If you can spare 3-4 GB, get it, you can't own a Vita and not have this game yo.
Sword Art Online
*Come for the most popular Vita game in the past 2 years, stay for the penetration
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters
*Interesting mix of Startegy+Visual Novel
Touch my Katamri
*In case you want some Katamari on your OLED
Toukiden: Kiwami
*This is the updated ver. of Toukiden, get it if you want monster slaying on the go
Virtue's Last Reward
*One of the best Visual Novels on the Vita. It doesn't have any dlc, but it does have avatars if you want them.
Ys: Celceta (Ys 4)
*You are not a whole man or woman until you've experienced Ys, one of the best action rpg games you've never played. Once you play one you'll wanna play the rest.
Expect fun gameplay/combat, wicked boss fights and kickass soundtrack.
Fate/EXTRA
*Not the best Fate RPG, but it's the closest you'll get to a Fate game in English nowadays
Breath of Fire 3
*One of the best games in the BoF series. Traditional turn based jRPG with a great cast of characters and beautiful 2D sprites
Lunar: SSH
*Turne based jRPG, and a must have for any fan of the genre, it's a steal at this price as it hasn't gone on sale in years
Monster Hunter FU
*One of the best MonHun games, and if you still need more monster hunting/slaying on the go.
Persona 1, 2, 3
*Persona 1 and 2 play very differently to 3 and 4, if you can only get one then get 3. Otherwise get them if you want to see how the series evolved over the decades.
Trails in the Sky FC
*First game in the TiTS series, get it if you haven't yet as the sequel is releasing some time this year.
We think
Power Stone
*Decent ports, but this is the first it's been on sale in months, grab them if you want some arena action goodness
Prinny 2
*Should be an improvement on the first game which was OK.
V. Chronicles 2
*Should at least be transf. from PS3 to Vita. 40-50 hour RPG game with lame character designs, but good gameplay.
Ys 1+2
*Fantastic remaster of the original 80s classic. Simple combat, kickass soundtrack and neat boss fights. You don't HAVE to start the series with these 2 games, but they're still worth playing if you have an open mind.
Ys Oath (Ys 3)
*The best Ys game to get into the series. Fast paced combat, awesome boss fights and a rockin' soundtrack. You haven't experienced video games until you played this great game.
Ys Seven
*Another great entry in the Ys series. While Celceta is based on Seven and improves on the gameplay, Seven is still worth playing. No need to worry about story since all Ys games can be enjoyed separately and their stories are for the most part stand alone.
These games run at 50 Hz and some may not be optimized so expact major slowdown.
Get them at your own risk
Final Fantasy 4-9
Front Mission 3
Parasite Eve 2
Vagrant Story
Get these games, but be forwarned that these will fill up your 64 GB Mem. card fast.
