Vita (and PSP) are big Hunter platforms: If you have never played any, I would recommend you get one and try it out! Personally, I have tried Soul Sacrifice and Freedom Wars. Of the two, I liked Freedom Wars better because the action and the systems in place were easier to get. SS has all this stuff about harvesting magic from bad guys. I'm sure it's great, but I didn't put enough time in to really get it. If you decide to get into Hunters, make sure to get the most recent version. They often seem to come out with GOTY versions of the games that include a bunch of DLC.
My favorite Hunter games playable on Vita are Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. They're both PSP games, but they play great and are super addicting. Mapping the second joystick to camera controls also makes both games infinitely more enjoyable than they probably were on PSP.
Otherwise if you like the Nippon Ichi style of strategy RPG, you can get all the Disgaea 3-4 on Vita and 1-2 on PSP. I just started 3 recently. The story isn't great but the gameplay is still as good as it's ever been.
Y: Memories of Celceta is my favorite exclusive Vita RPG. The story is nothing special, but it's a super solid action RPG. You get to play as mutliple characters, everyone has different skills, there's crafting... lots of stuff to do, and zero performance issues.
