Growlanser Generations for the PS2 was one of the best SRPGs I have ever played. Atlus USA recently announced Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time for the PSP.
What I love most about this series is that Growlanser blends turn-based and real-time strategy; you issue commands to each member of your party, but their actions play out in real-time; Things not going how you planned? Interrupt your characters at ANY time and create a new strategy. The other thing I love about the battles is that killing all of the enemies is seldom your only objective. For example, during some battles there are civilians that will be killed unless your party can rescue them in time. I think anyone who loves classic SRPGs like the Shining Force series will love this game.
This is the 4th game in the series, but it is standalone so if your new to series you won't be missing back story. It is considered the best Growlanser by many fans, with 40+ hours of gameplay and multiple endings.
