Besides emulating the old school computer RPGs like Wizardry and Bard's Tale, there were a couple games like it on the PSP - the two King's Field games and Ore No Dungeon.(Sans the map drawing bit, which really was original (at least on a handheld, you used to have to do that with graph paper in real life) To be fair, EO was hardly original.

I hope this comes over sans the draw-your-own-map, which was tedious. It should just auto-draw like Shiren the Wanderer. I thought the same thing re: Etrian Odyssey.
