A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Recommend Me Some Short Games Played on PS2, PSX, NDS, or PSP

I'll be playing on my phone so the controls are a bit hard so action games are out of the question.

I was thinking along the lines of Turn-Based RPGs like Persona 4 but these are too long to play, I just want something short.

Here's a short list of Games I've liked so far:

  1. Suikoden Series
  2. Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core, and Tactics
  3. Persona 3 and 4
  4. Bully

Upon reflection, maybe something similar to JRPGs but without the grind.

For phone gaming may I suggest the PSP game Z.H.P: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman.

Given it's a rogue-like there is a bit of grind to it, but it's a short game. What makes it a great portable game is that it is action, but turn-based, so you can think through your next move, and don't have to struggle with quick inputs on imprecise controls.

Edit: Oh, and since you like Suikoden, maybe try PSX title Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. More story driven than combat, and the PSX version is the 2nd remake with many features added aimed at enhancing the story telling more than anything.
