PSP: Looking for RPG Recommendations

Received a PSP for my birthday and am looking for some recommendations on RPG's. I picked up a used copy the Dungeon Siege game and will probably be getting the Final Fantasy redux for olde time sakes, but am a bit apprehensive of the various Japanese-themed RPG imports (as I have little familiarity in the space). The Square-Enix game "Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth" looked pretty good so any user impressions would be most helpful. Also wanted to know if people thought it would just be better to wait a while for some of launches later in the year (which look fan fucking tastic). Thanks

And I'll second Tales of Eternia.
There are however a bunch of awesome games that haven't been released yet. Jeanne d'Arc, Disgaea: PSP, Brave Story, Riviera, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Star Ocean 1, Star Ocean 2, Final Fantasy I: Anniversary Edition and Final Fantasy Tactics. Oh yeah and there's supposed to be a Kingdom Hearts spinoff announced for the PSP at TGS.
I am keeping an eye out for the tactics rpgs like Jeanne d'Ark and FF: Tactics Lion War. The Final Fantasy I remake for PSP is out now and Final Fantasy II is to be released by the end of July.
I am a freaking nerd.
I've got the PS1 port and I'll probably end up getting FF1 again when it comes out over here (which will probably be in 6 months if Square Enix Europe follow their reputation). I was going to get the GBA port eventually but with the PSP port, there's no reason to.
Then again, I'm not really all that fond of really old school RPG's. I'm only a few hours into the FF3 remake on the DS and I'm already kinda bored (I really should've got Pokemon instead...).
Sushisource: Is that the strategy game that's being developed for the PSP and DS? The 1UP Yours guys mentioned it a couple of months back.

Seriously, edition 3.5 is an SRPG. I'm interested in it, but haven't taken the plunge due to a stigma I have against D&D games that aren't on the computer. It's completely irrational, and I hear that the PS2/XB Baldur's Gate hack 'n slashes were great, but I still hold it.
Jeanne D' Arc is supposed to be amazing (from the same team that did DQ8 IIRC) and it comes out August 21.
Then there's Final Fantasy Tactics which is just a classic, but it won't be out until sometime in October.
They weren't. Avoid like the plague.
Anyhow, I hear FFT is coming to PSP.
Supposedly, if you like D&D it is pretty sweet. It follows the rules pretty flawlessly from what I have read in previews.
yeah
fft: the war of the lions
and final fantasy : dissida
are some upcoming rpgs.
oh right
forgot dissidia was more like an action adventure thing.
You know, I think that this is the first and only time I've heard an American say that about a game.
Terranigma
I am a freaking nerd.
Really? Terranigma came out in Europe? Well, it didn't fucking come out in Australia. What a gyp! :x
Hrmm... wonder if wikipedia has incorrect info then
I am a freaking nerd.
Huh! I just did a quick Google search then, and apparently it did come out here, but was "extremely rare". They must have only made, like, 500 or something, because I don't remember hearing a peep about it in the local press or seeing it any shops/video-stores. Anyway, there you go: you learn something new every day.
Vib Ribbon!
Don't you mean Vub Rubben? ;-)
Also, has anyone (besides eToy) had a chance to go hands-on with Brave Story? It looks very, very good, and I'm trying to decide between that and Tales of the World as my next PSP purchase.
Brave Story is looking really good. Evidently there is some exclusive content being added to the NA release that adds about 50 more hours of gameplay.
