Excuse you, have you seen the price of Vita memory cards? Wanting a physical copy is absolutely rational at this point.
Well... duh, of course it doesn't. What it does do is discourage people from getting it because they'd have to invest in a larger capacity memory card. My 16GB is already almost full. Not saying that they have to or even should release a physical copy if it's not financially feasible, but it's not unreasonable to argue for one from a consumer standpoint.
Having a physical library is so much better anyway.
That's just how it works for the most part, though. Sony has always overpriced their memory cards, and it's pretty bull****. But companies wanting to release JRPGs in Europe run a risk because a lot of the smaller titles (meaning, not Final Fantasy) don't even get noticed. Digital releases cost barely any money, so while they might sell less copies (whether that be due to memory card prices or other reasons), they won't make a loss like they would pushing a physical release.
I had to get my copy of P4G from the UK because no stores here even had it in their databases, and I definitely wanted a physical of it. So even with physical releases, buying a digital copy might be easier, since it saves you from having to import or scour through an entire city for the one store that has a single copy.

Yeah - they sell the Vita at a loss and make up for that with the ridiculous proprietary memory costs, right? For the longest time it was what kept me from actually buying the console. But I thought the Vita sold better in Europe than NA anyway? Europe loves Sony stuff... though I guess that doesn't translate to RPGs, even though I'd have assumed by now everyone should know the Vita is a huge weeb machine.
But yeah - I get the reasoning, but it isn't half annoying to know the rest of the world is getting physical copies while we're stuck going digital or importing. That stuff's expensive, and I refuse to buy a digital title anyway unless it's under ?15-20 because I don't "own" it.
I live in the UK so finding most physical copies from amazon is no problem at all - so I guess I have no experience with that kind of thing.
I actually don't mind digital games, but I really like having the option.

!! for psvita!The Slim comes with some storage in the system itself, though it's really only handy for saving games. You could download something onto it, but it would have to be small, and therefore most RPGs are out.
Vita has more to offer than just RPGs, and I think a lot of the people that decide to get one either go with the action-y games or just decide to use it as the indie machine Sony seems to be pushing it as nowadays.
I get the sentiment, it took a while for me to get comfortable with the idea of only having digital copies of stuff. Now I don't mind as much, though there are some games of which I would demand a physical (i.e. Disgaea, MGS, etc.). Even so, it's up to the publisher to decide whether or not they'll go with a physical.
I think it's good to look at it from another perspective as well. Back in the day they might have just decided to not release the game at all because the expected sales were too low, and they were forced to have the game printed, shipped and everything. Now they can localize a game and put it up for download, and there's no printing and shipping costs involved. They can still sell the game overseas without taking the risks they would have to take before. I think in that way having digital releases is better than having nothing at all.
Anyway, seems like we went a little off-topic there, haha. The games I'd recommend were mentioned before, but they are basically P4G, MGS HD, Soul Sacrifice, the Disgaea games and Dragon's Crown.

Yeah, I saw that! It's pretty nice that they finally added something to it in the slim version. Too bad I already picked up an OG Vita, the slim looks really nice.
Eh, I dunno. The Vita's good for for indies and okay in the action department, but if you're buying a vita solely for either of those two you're setting yourself up for disappointment imo - it's just too expensive for most people to buy a handheld for the few western games there are on it worth playing. There are some gems, I'll admit, but the Japanese support is a huge part of what's keeping the console alive. Sony has given up and are advertising it as an F2P machine/add-on for the PS4 because the general appeal stuff and western support is so pathetic. I tend to think of it as a more of a niche console.
I totally understand that it's up to the publisher and may be necessary, but I reserve my right to complain loudly when it happens!
And probably eventually get it anyway, let's be honest, hah. You remind me that I need to go and pick up the MGS HD collection though.
My original response to that post was triggered more by the tone and the "wah wah gamers are so entitled!" thing than 100% disagreement anyway I guess.
Off topic isn't so bad! At least we're still talking about the Vita.
I'll second the Dragon's Crown rec but add that the framerate tends to **** the bed when more than 1 or 2 magic users are on-screen so if anyone here that's thinking of getting it has a PS3 it's better to pick it up for that.

Lol half the games recommended can already be played on another system. Reason why I got rid of my vita tbh. There are a lot of great PSP and PS1 games you should look through on PSN too. But for Vita exclusives? I don't think I ever owned a game that was one tbh.

Well, if you're into rhythm games, Hatsune Miku Project Diva f would be a good one, and if you're into mystery and strategy games, you could try out Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and the sequel game Super Danganronpa 2

80s anime is cool
Rayman Origins for the PS Vita is a great handheld port of that game.
10x better than the 3DS port (Seriously, that thing lagged like crazy)
