PlayStation Plus Just Quietly Released the Most Overlooked Tactical RPG Of All Time

Jeanne d'Arc is a brilliant hidden gem that released on the PSP in 2007, and now the tactical RPG is finally available again through PlayStation Plus.

OtterX343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

One of my favorite PSP titles of all time. This is probably my favorite Classic title to hit the PS Catalog yet. I had already bought it on Vita though as part of the PSP store, so I got it for free here to keep. That was quite generous of them, considering the HD overhaul and trophy addition. It would have been worth buying again. Every jrpg fan should try this out on PS+ catalog.

solideagle343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

can we not buy it separately? it seems its only for premium

OtterX343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

No? It shows up on mine as owned "Free" bc I bought it years ago.

If you have a Vita, I suppose you could still buy it, if it's still on the store there?

*edit - yep it's still there! $9.99 is a steal for this remaster. (of course free on PS+ catalog is amazing too! This is one I like owning though) You should be able to buy it there on that link on your PC.

Here's a reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/JR...

It's 10 bucks. Go over to the ... on the game page. It should let you buy it

You can buy it separately, I had to use the PS app to find it on the store (the web store is so dysfunctional), I thought the game had skipped the aussie store, lol.

@OtterX - Yes you can buy this game without owning a Vita (like pretty much every other PS classic on PS4/PS5). I bought it yesterday on PS5. It also costed 10 USD.

shaenoide343d ago

You can play it on PS5 ?

BinaryMind343d ago

Yep, you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions if you buy it too.

jznrpg343d ago

Its a great one and I’m going to play it via the Portal. Summoner PS2 also got trophies which is cool

MeteorPanda343d ago

Nothing beats ff tactics: war of the lions in my heart.

gold_drake343d ago

nothin beats Shinging Force 2, i mean, no contest haha xD

shinoff2183343d ago

Shining force 2 was the first tactic game I ever played. Loved that turtle.

Lionsguard343d ago

Shining Force 1 had the more memorable characters imo.

OtterX343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Yes! Final Fantasy Tactics is still my favorite tactical jrpg of them all!

TheColbertinator343d ago

Valkyria Chronicles is my #1 always

gold_drake343d ago

its rly good, playing right now actually ha.

Einhander1972343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

I am playing this too, it's my first time. I really enjoy games like this and I'm having fun.

They also added Summoner which I do know quite a bit about it's also really good.

Great month for PS+ all round.

Edit: I hope Sony sees the popularity of this style of game because i have for years (since PS3) been wanting and saying they should make spin off games of their popular series but in different genres.

I have always wanted a tactical game from games like Uncharted, TLoU or Horizon (or any franchise really, I also think they could make a cool card battler Slay the Spire type game.

And they could make games like this quick and cheap compared to what they normally make.

Sony is all-in on PlayStation Plus, says its most expensive tier is thriving

Sony kicks off PS Plus' 15th anniversary by chatting with Game File about the past, present and future of its gaming subscription service: Talking price, catalogue tweaks and where the PS3 games are.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts10h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos4h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje1h ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Alos8811h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX10h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy859h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

jznrpg10h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX10h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay8h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg6h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv7210h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer10h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.

OtterX15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

I missed only 6 months of the first year of PS+ and have claimed everything since then. What a huge backlog that I & all the other longtime subscribers have!

FPSRUSSIA15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

same here Otter they give us 3 Games every month i have been a PS Plus for a long time thats alot of games to play Also i have you on PSN Otter but wont say who i am LOL.

OtterX15h ago

Lol, I have a number of N4G'ers on my PSN friends list. Goes back to when we used to have an N4G group in the PS4's Communities platform. I bet you added me then. Man, I miss those!

shinXseijuro15h ago

Sure is good to an extent but I’m kinda salty with the constant price hikes without the extra content to warrant the hike. Diablo been on game pass day 1 for ages sure it’s a Microsoft game but see that’s where one is better than the other . I’ll take king of fighter for sure tho love that game . Thinking of getting the New city of the wolves

Terry_B13h ago

Aye..subscriber since 2013.

Around 400 ps4-ps5 games + another 50 on the ps3.

ravens5212h ago

Ye, im the same. Got a good amount on ps3/vita and everything since ps4 to now.

OptimusDK7h ago

As long as you subscribe if not it’s gone

raWfodog13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I only have 378 of the over 500 'free' games that were offered. I started my PS+ subscription in 2013 when it became mandatory for multiplayer access. I also claimed every 'free' game even if I didn't have an interest in it at that time. I figured I might as well since Sony was paywalling me now LOL.

A solid roster of games this month. I'll be claiming these as well and adding them to my monster backlog.

Eonjay15h ago

Okay, I'm really happy with July's offerings.

ebotj14h ago

Already got the platinum for Jusant. Loved it!

OtterX14h ago

Good to hear! It wasn't on my radar, but now I'm curious to check it out.

OtterX13h ago

I had a strange hunch that you'd be a fan. ;)

Terry_B13h ago

Wubba, wubba. I'm in the pink today, boy!

KOF XV, even without any dlc still offers a lof of content for everyone that does not care about a good story in a fighting game at least.

Have it already with all dlc of course but its good to see new players thanks to ps+ that can get a beatdown by my Geese ^^

not a huge lost, altough cc ff7 is a really good game.

Puty7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Thanks to extra I was able to experience Crisis Core. Zack is so underappreciated. And then we were supposed to cheer for Cloud bonking his lady?
The ending is soul crushing :(

StoneTitan6d ago

I loved the original on psp, from all I have seen it did not look anything like that.

gold_drake6d ago

its still worth playing if u liked the og

StoneTitan6d ago

Yeah but 7 remake for me was also just og 7 cut in pieces, draged out and boring. So I am afraid of trying out cc
