Recommend Me Some Short Games Played on PS2, PSX, NDS, or PSP

I'll be playing on my phone so the controls are a bit hard so action games are out of the question.

I was thinking along the lines of Turn-Based RPGs like Persona 4 but these are too long to play, I just want something short.

Here's a short list of Games I've liked so far:

Suikoden Series
Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core, and Tactics
Persona 3 and 4
Bully

Upon reflection, maybe something similar to JRPGs but without the grind.

"Shorter than Persona 4" is an awful lot of JRPGs. But it sounds like you specifically want something with a fast pace or more action.

Chrono Trigger got a DS port. Ignore the monster arena minigame and the "Lost Sanctum" dungeon. Both were added to the DS port and are bad. The "Dimensional Vortex" dungeons were also added to this version but they're well enough done to not warn against.

Final Fantasy IV had a PSP port and that's a short, fast-paced game.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is an option if you can stretch to GBA games. I liked it a little more than Bowser's Inside Story because it has more exploration but you might like it less for the same reason.
