Has anyone braved the waters of the Vita and can comment on how good or not good those things are?
I'm thinking like Soul Sacrifice, Danganropa, Neptunia re-birth, P4G, Ragnarock Odyssey Ace. Etc. I'm kind of exhausting a lot of options and I haven't yet gotten to Vita stuff, seems sorta promising though.
Danganronpa YES! YES! YES!, Neptunia re-birth if you like neptunia (specifically victory) you'll like this because it's just more of it, P4G **** yeah, the rest I haven't played yet.
Persona 4 Golden is the among the best JRPG in the existence of the universe along with Persona 3 - So, yes, it is worth getting a Vita for that one. I also enjoy playing PSP and PSONE games like Crash or Spyro on my little handheld so I can say I'm enjoying it favorably.
Danganronpa or whatever it's called looks like a cardboard cut-out of Persona and thus I was immediately uninterested.

It's more like phoenix wright than persona. The actual persona like bits are the worst parts of the game tbh.
From what I saw of it -- It looked like a game that was trying to be Persona and thus I'm uninterested.
Think I'd rather snatch up Resonance of Fate and Xenoblade for now, in the JRPG department, then scour other genres for a bit.
Well, that's something, one way or another. I just already am well aware of the 3ds ones like Bravely Default and such, but the Vita seems to have more and possibly more entertaining JRPGs overall.
If Phantasy Star Nova was ever localized I wouldn't hesitate, but they didn't just not announce localization they expressly said they weren't localizing it.
Well it's not. In a nutshell it's about Monkuma capturing a bunch of kids and stateing the only way you can leave is if you kill a fellow student and get away with it (there is a lot more to it than that but that's spoiler territory). As I mentioned the persona bits are mediocre and happen between the murders in the game and can be quite easily skipped through. The core of the game is the solving of aforementioned murders in a very ace attorney fashion. The courtroom bit's are difficult to describe but you search for individual words that go against the evidence by shooting the individual words with one of the "truth bullets" (evidence). Hell there is a demo so give that a shot.
I'm sure tis not persona, If I got a Vita I'm sure I would give it a hard look.
I feel like Soul Sacrifice and those types of games would have to carry the way but I don't know if they are heavy hitters ultimately. Honestly I'm not even sure SS is a JRPG but it seems JRPG enough.
I don't really care for visual novels with no engaging gameplay at all so yeah... The characters also seem to be high school students and thus .. yeah, there we have the Persona likeness. No thanks.
Ohhh it's a VN, hmm. I guess that would give me pause, although whenever I see serious passion for something (such as Liam just now) though, I feel like maybe there's a reason for it. I don't really care for a lot of anime or VNs (as we covered with Persona), but I suppose if the plot and characters were so overwhelmingly spectacular I could see it happening.
I'm really curious about Soul Sacrifice for whatever reason, it's freaking Keiji Inafune! Mega Man!
Well ok I can get that point not being into visual novels I can get. The whole high school students thing making it like persona though? No just no. You might as well say Mana khemia or Valkyria chronicles 2 are persona clones if that's true.

What the hell is a Mana Khemia?
Anyway, the comparison are apt enough -- The fact that it's released in the midst of the Persona series sudden boost in popularity sort of shells it out as a game that wants a slice of the same cake. Valkyria Chronicles 2 isn't a good game btw.
The fact that they are solving a murder mystery, while they are in a cosmic netherrealm, or the fact that this layout below here:
Looks extremely simillar to Persona's layout only further strengthens the obvious comparison.
I don't care for playing a game that can't stand on its own without the need of having to play on the success of others, without
feeling like it's taking the concept further to make it its own. Much like how sequels have to function. A good sequel leaps off from the original, taking the things it did well from the first one and builds upon that, while a bad sequel spends most of its time wallowing in its predecessors success.

I need to play the Ace Attorney games one day now that I have a 3DS. I played Dual Destinies demo and thought it was pretty cool.
*snip*
Looks more like ace attorney to me. It's colorful like persona I guess but I don't think they own the right to vegas like art styles. Just hiding the images to prevent long load times.
It's in a school BTW not some magical otherworld. Hell the second game takes place in a holiday resort removing the comparison even further.

Fair enough then.
It's not a cosmic netherrealm then who am I to call that out -- But there's definitely enough similarities between the games to warrant the game uninteresting for me.
Speaking of cosmic netherrealms
Ragnanival has my vote for #1 cosmic netherrealm.
Odin Sphere was just all round damn awesome. It's take on prophecy in particular was amazing.
Haha I figured you would say the whole game was cool, yeah, the forest was cool, the underworld was fun, Titania, I guess maybe the fire land was a bit kinda generic but yeah the whole thing was fun.
For some reason Gwendolyn's story and the situation with Odin, and all the stars flying around had extra signficance for me for some reason. I guess I kind of felt bad for Odin maybe... or something.
But then it's like Velvet's was pretty cool too so yeah IDK why I haven't tried any other Vanillaware games. At least Muramasa or Dragon's Crown I would of thought by now.
I think Mercedes was my favorite or maybe Oswald. All of the paths were pretty good. Though Cornelius and that sewer business made me want to melt the disk.
God I completely forgot about Oswald, yeah Oswald was my jam. I can't believe like 20 people made that game, amazing.
I'm so glad I actually decided to buy it, I kept reading things like "you get slowdowns occasionally" and "the alchemy system is bad because you don't have enough spaces" (Or some other random thing, which I didn't even ultimately find to be true). It's like um hello, what about the crazy amazing awesome artistry and characters and everything?
Oh right and the OST, can't forget the OST.
I also want to recommend Danganronpa and add that it is more Ace Attorney than it is Persona. But I would say it's very much its own thing too.
Sure most of the mysteries are easy to figure out but the character and plot reasons behind them are pretty neat and interesting.
And Danganronpa 2 has a character named Gundam who has 4 hamsters named after the 4 top Shonen manga magazines who are his 4 Heavenly Kings of Darkness and Gods of Destruction so yes 2 is better and also the best game ever made. Maybe.
Can also vouch for Danganronpa! I would say it's far more its own thing than Persona but can't say how close it's to Ace Attorney since I've yet to actually play them
Sure it share a few colours with Persona 
It's close in the sense there are scenes and items leading up to the court stuff.
I wish I could get rune factory 4.
Rejoice, my UK brethren.
Xseed planning to bring Rune Factory 4 to Europe
