Worth playing got their first hands-on look at Jeanne d'Arc at Sony's Gamers Day event in May, where the title was tucked away on the first day of the event, lost amongst the hype of numerous PlayStation 3 games. Though they only had a few minutes to spend with Jeanne, they found the quirky mixture of established gameplay, vibrant cel-shaded visuals, and an intriguing storyline to be just what the doctor ordered for a handheld epic.
Khayl Adam: "With the release of the game for PS5 and PS4, which features up-rendered graphics, quality-of-life features like rewind and quick save, and custom video filters, there is now no excuse not to play what has rightfully become something of a cult classic. Level-5's take on the historical Hundred Years War that raged between the kingdoms of England and France in the 15th century is a creative one, and we're glad to report that the wait has been worth it."
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.
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.
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...
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.
Its a great one and I’m going to play it via the Portal. Summoner PS2 also got trophies which is cool
Yes! Final Fantasy Tactics is still my favorite tactical jrpg of them all!
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.
One of the strongest genres that the PSP had to offer would have to be RPGs. The PS1 and PS2 both had strong RPG libraries, so it’s not a huge surprise that the PSP picked up the baton with some real bangers.
