A role-playing game (RPG) is a genre of video game where the gamer controls a fictional character (or characters) that undertakes a quest in an imaginary world. Defining RPGs is very challenging due to the range of hybrid genres that have RPG elements

One thing you do better than most other reviewers: You keep the title in the bottom left corner which makes it easier to write down a game's title. Thanks!

Eh, I'm not sure that Gravity Rush, Binding of Issac, or Dragon Quest Builders would really count as an "RPG," game-mechanics-wise, as the character progression is based more on finding/buying/building upgrades using external objects/gear rather than some sort of experience based system. They're more like super awesome Action/Adventure games, IMO, like most of the Legend of Zelda games or the Metroid series.

I love these list, especially the Vita ones.

Persona 4 Golden is number one, definitely. But The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1&2 is easily second. Both fantastic. Such an underrated series, that is amazing.

long live the vita!

Just beat the last boss of P4G, quite impressed as it's my first experience with the franchise. If you have a Vita, give it a go. (Persona 4 Golden)

half of this games are not even RPGs...

3 games from Vanillaware in a single top 15 ? That's why I love the Vita this much

Persona 4 Golden is a beautiful masterpiece

pie-vittel? you mean pivotal?

Soul Sacrifice delta is one of all my all time favorite games. Wish they would make a remake for console

Excellent video, great games, nice music. Goodjob whatoplay!

How is Gravity Rush an RPG?

God Eater 2 Rage Burst and Freedom Wars

another great video , you shoud reach the 1 000 000 subs next year .....

Binding of Eye Sack

Salt and Sanctuary? I know it isn't for anyone but man oh man. What a ride.

RIP my beautiful turn base system :(

If you liked persona 4 golden, I highly recommend giving Trails of Cold Steel 1&2 a shot, it's definitely up there with P4G, in my book.

if darkest dungeon didn't make this list, I was gonna flip lol. one of the best rpgs for the vita.

Am I the only one who dances with the song of the intro? 😂

please do best hack and slash games... u gained a subcriber dou

Ah, yes my fellow gamers. I also enjoy games very much and am in touch with your communities. I also enjoy RPGs such as the Binding of Izaak.

i love the YS VIII : Lacrimosa of Dana Dana forever! ❤❤❤

Do you know what RPG means?

vita have many great rpg games, really love them.. and need more games translated to english

6:27 "That's over 9,000!"

Got both Persona 4 Golden and Trails of Steel 1, love em both!!!! x] I want another RPG!!!!!!!

Persona 4 is a very very good game I'd recommend it to anyone!

Its sad that Attack On Titan is not on the list even in runner-ups. As a huge fan, I think its really a good game, imo

did psv got any monster hunter game except mh frontier

Unrelated but I really like your voice! It sounds good in videos like these

I have never played persona games and I’m a huge rpg guy? Is it really that good?

I think the legacy of the Vita will be that it was a hub for RPG and JRPG games, indie or not.

question what atlus game would be the best out of all the systems nintendo and or sony?

1:19 "Uses tears as bullets" so I assume I have unlimited ammo?

The Caligula Effect

Can you get us a play score for the Inazuma Eleven series please ?

Also if you are a fan of Persona... Persona 2 Eternal Punishment on PSOne Classics and Persona 2 Innocent Sin on PSP Classics are good choices

The list is nice but many are not considered RPGs

I hope persona 5 will be released on ps vita

Anyone know how much Keiji Inafune had to do with the development of Soul Sacrifice? Because that game is awesome.

I tried so hard to get into digimon, but I just couldn't

Y por q me sale el título en español si el video entero está en inglés?

I'm here, to back the time.

I am playing persona at first time in 2020, and what can I say... its easy one of the best game I ever played.

Her pronunciations of some words are very unique. I'll check out a few of these game for sure!

anyone gonna talk about freedom wars?

i ws about to crack my head when i did not see p4 golden good thing i stuck through the end of the video

If I had to give up all my systems but one, I would keep my PS Vitas!

Final fantasy to me was always the best of the best. It seemed like it doesn't matter the game, the company does what it wants and often creates it's own gameplay, each final fantasy varying in style and gameplay from the next creating a more diverse community. I tried several of the persona and it didn't hook me at all. I felt like playing a Anime spinoff of devil may cry. Where there is 2 worlds and something is always happening between the 2 to create conflict for the protagonist.

I was thinking on buy a PS VITA, but it's expensive yet, and needs a micro sd specific. I'm wondering if a PSP would be a good choice.....

5:15 "from the developer that brought you Mighty #9".... shit, that's not a great reference guys.

Do you know what an rpg is??

Half the games on this list are not RPGs.

Hey, where is "iam setsuna"?! This game best to)

Eye-zack. Leaving this comment and leaving this video.

alt title: best psvita games 🔥

"Ubisoft has outdid themselves" what fantastic journalism

I bought Dragons Crown a few months ago, looking for a new RPG to play. And I've got to say I don't remember ever being this disappointed in a game.. Also, ohmygodpersona5

Dragonscrown, Ff10 Ff102 remastered, gravity Rush ys origin persona 4g too are my favorites👍🤗😍🤩👌😏

Keep up the good work!

Binding of Izack.

Should I get the PS Vita now? Or wait for its replacement? Great video, by the way!

Love voice of video.

The 5th Persona was placed under a different name for the Wii U it's the Shin Megami Tenshi Toyko Mirage FE. It's a Persona / Fire Emblem cross over. Follows the same basic Persona set up we all love and adds a weird twist with the Fire Emblem Franchise we all love as a tactical game.

Question.. How is Gravity Rush an RPG?

Imagine an RPG video list for Nintendo switch pokemon will be the first out of the list by this lady!!! Lol

I love how they put up the price of the game, like we really pay for them these days =p

So many games but barely any RPGs!!

I mean... it's a good list from what I see? But I was really hoping to find good role playing games for the vita..rather than just a list of "good games for the vita" You even state yourself in the description of the games what they are. Binding of Isaac (while an awesome game in it's own right), is a dungeon style rogue like top down shooter. Rogue Legacy is a "2D platformer" your words rather than mine. I think of it again as a dungeon crawler, and once more, I love this game. I am addicted to it like crazy in my spare time as I can (as with BOI) pick it up and put it back down again and know that it's going to be a good time waster. I would not call either of these RPGs which I (along with other people here it would seem), think of more as Role playing games. Games where you take on the role of a character and play their story through. Usually with some sort of set goal in mind where you can in effect beat the game if you wish (even games like Skyrim with the open end storyline still have a storyline to them thus are still classed as RPGs). Can dungeon crawlers be RPGs? Sure. There are loads of them. But they all have integrated storylines that add to the game play element. BOI and Rogue Legacy you could remove the story aspect (what there is), and they would still be good games in their own right and nothing about the game play would change at all. I like your video style, and I like your method of presenting. I just would like to see a list of actual PS Vita games that are RPGs to help me work out which ones would be the best choice for me to buy next. As it is, I can't trust this list, because if I want to buy an RPG I want to know it's an RPG, and I can't be certain that the games on this list are. It's kinda like going out to buy a platformer and being told that "A good game would be Street Fighter" It might have a platform on which you fight.. but it isn't a platformer.

I realize these Whatoplay videos are insanely low quality, but putting The Binding of Isaac, Gravity Rush, Rogue Legacy, Muramasa Rebirth and Soul Sacrifice on a list of Role-playing games has to be a new low. And why is the best series on the system (Trails of Cold Steel) only an honorable mention when you were clearly in dire need for more actual RPGs?

Binding of Issac and Rogue Legacy

I didn't want to say anything about the voice over but how the fuck did she pronounce pivotal around 7:29?

how about god eater rage burst??

Fury Mode Muramasa :D

Most of these can barely be called rpgs. Seriously?

isaac is not a rpg ! gravity rush is not a rpg ! rogue legacy is not a rpg !

Agora só falta o ps vita :')

When I see child of light i see phantomgate

Long live d Vita

fuck i love person since 3 but i wish they can make psvita version persona again sigh...

lol the japanese CC constantly says "I'm gay"

I searched for rpg games not platformer games

its very sad that i have 13/15 (i dont have the 2 indies) of these games, no more good releases

GOD EATER?!

only complaint about persona is the graphics should be better than tat

Roleplaying games they said.

I did type in best vita rpgs, didn't I?

wtf??? digimon is 15? gravity rush is a rpg????

No Ys VIII Lacrimosa of DANA?

I just want persona 4 golden in any other console and i'll buy it :(

B-but Akiba's Trip... How is THAT not in there!? (But, I can't argue with number one) I own P4G and I can agree 100% with number 1 lol

binding of izack

Anything with numbers is an RPG

wheres p4 dance all night?

I really wish the vita had better RPGs. I would actually play it then.
