PSP + Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

If you don't have a PSP, get an emulator for it.

I HATE FINAL FANTASY! :evil:

Well since you decided to put it in obnoxious over-sized red letters with a gratuitous use of emoticons...

1. Assuming we're talking about each game, the stories are usually pretty coherent and easy to follow even if it does invoke a lot of magic to make **** happen (as most fantasy stories do).
2. Which motorcycle? Because the one in FF13 double as a weapon. It's like transformers, only magic.
3. It's called Final Fantasy because that was the title of the first game which the developers thought would be the last game until lighting struck their office and it became insanely popular. Then, like most unexpectedly popular games, it became a franchise and they naturally continued to use the same title.

Final Fantasy is kind of a big franchise to overlook when you're talking about PS3 games, especially RPGs. And besides, these are only recommendations. You could have easily just ignored it every time you say Final Fantasy listed somewhere.
(I'm referring to the final fantasy 13 bike)
I still dont like final fantasy, and now that you mentioned "magic" transformers it just got more complicated and downright weird, but your other choices are great though, but I really wish for an RPG game that uses real time combat like the .hack games.
I always thought of them more like Mighty Morphing Power Rangers lol
Why not try Devil May Cry 4, great game!
Or since I know you hate the "rock,paper,scissors" game style of Final Fantasy, wait until they make FF vs XIII
It's got button mashing (Like KH style) unlike it's predecessors
I got devil may cry 4 and.......

I LOVE IT! thank you so much for the recommendation CirilloPrimo! :D I'm so glad for your recommendation I could kiss you!

Um what kind of game is it though? is it role playing because just by looking at it reminds me of my grandpas old war stories.
And I said I dislike FPS games(except for borderlands and fallout 3) and it kinda looks complicated. :?

Here is a Quick Look*:

Here is a video review:

Here is a list of written reviews:

* A Quick Look is a Giant Bomb video of about 20-30 minutes of raw gameplay footage with commentary by the players as they're playing it. It's like a Let's Play video except that it only covers a relatively small part of the game.

Of course it is. It's an Elder Scrolls game. If you can, get it on the PC instead of a console.

I haven't played Birth By Sleep (or 358/2 Days...need to play that game ASAP D8), but the rest of the Kingdom Hearts game have all been real-time action RPGs (even Chains of Memories), and from the screenshots and stuff i've seen Birth By Sleep doesn't seem to be the exception. So yeah, expect a pure action RPG with you doing lots of attacks and combos while moving around avoiding attacks, and no ATB bars or anything stopping you XD
There is no use moving back, you can't trace back your path

God of War: Ghost of Sparta for PSP. It's coming November 2nd, but a demo has already been released. However, I think it's only exclusive for Playstation Plus members and Spartan Army members on the God of War website so far. Although, you might be offended by it since it does contain strong violence and sexual content, but aside from that, it will be one of the best PSP games to date.

God of war?.... I played it before when my other stepbrother bought it for me on the PS3 and made me play it in front of our parents, its because of that game that I got scarred me for life, try to imagine playing a sexual minigame in front of your parents....

@moon queen, Umm, you do know that the sex mini games are completely "optional" right? You don't have to play them. Besides, it's the compelling story and awesome gameplay that makes God of War one of the best action games ever made.
