Satoshi Ookami Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) In other words, Japanese games recommendation thread, desu~! Dear community of PSNP, we all know there's a pretty big group of Japanese games fans among us and some others may be trying to get a taste of this genre but are unsure what to start with. Do you have any Japanese game you would definitely recommend to newcomers? Do you have a game that veterans should go for? Write about it. And show the love for it! (Preferably localized so everyone can enjoy it regardless of their Japanese skills.) If you are recommending to both categories, try to separate them for better visibility =) And now the true reason for this thread =D I need something to add to my wishlist =D My wishlist is pretty much empty apart from Omega Quintet and Tears to Tiara which are next on purchase list and even the Big in Japan sale didn't help much as I had like 80% of it =D Please throw a lot of games at me, I need something new to the wishlist, I don't want to think I have seriously purchased everything I could PSV, PS3, PS4 (yea, I'm joking here), I don't mind =D just like most of us know the best games are in Japan. This is not about knowing, this is an universal truth Edited June 27, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Persona 4 for me, it set a big bar and the only JRPG I seen to come close is Ys: Memories of Celceta. Also Gravity Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyLoopy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 About to start Omega Quintet, halfway through Tears to Tiara II... The Persona series is always a good choice when it comes to JRPGs. The Hyperdimension series for the humor and parody. Also if you like visual novels, Dangaronpa, Zero Escape and Steins; Gate are great choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurorac Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Let's see: Tales of Xillia 1 & 2, Graces f, Symphonia Ni no Kuni Star Ocean Disgaea 3, 4, D2 (and in october 5) Catherine Hyperdimension Neptunia 1, mk2, Victory, all the remakes and the Vita games Atelier Rorona, Meruru, Totori and so on Ar tonelico Trinity Universe Dragons Crown Mugen Souls 1 & Z Battle Princess of Arcadias That's all I have so far. And all the vita games, but I'm a bit in a hurry right now. Maybe I will list them later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazar_Ops Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Any of the Nep games. They are noob friendly and the gameplay is pretty easy to get into. Definitely recommend the nep games to JRPG newcomers, Persona 4 Golden is another highlight that I recommend. It was actually my first JRPG game. You might encounter some difficulty spikes in the game but other than that, it shouldn't be that hard for JRPG newbies. Muramasa Rebirth, awesome side scrolling game. Does not require any learning, it's pretty straightforward and very easy to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So are we recommending the games to you or just in general? I have no idea what to recommend to you since you're like the master of J-games and I'm still fairly new to them but if I'm supposed to recommend them to anyone, then I suggest everyone should play the Project Diva series because it's the most addictive and adorable game ever.

Satoshi Ookami Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 So are we recommending the games to you or just in general?

Have Have Friend has Friend has Have Have Have Waiting for Vita version Planning Have Friend has Planning So... that's that =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Anything from the Disgaea series of course, the best strategy rpg around doods (and prinny master race) Also Resonance of Fate, which is part of that big EU japan sale, because imo it is one of the best and most unique Jrpgs I've played on PS3. It is more than worth it at full price and a steal at a discounted price. Seriously this is a must have for any jrpg fans, go and buy it now doods!

xZoneHunter Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I have played my fair share of j-games, and ofcourse i would recommend titles most people already know, like the nep games or danganronpa. But i'll list some games that aren't well known imo. El Shaddai: Ascension of the metatron was pretty good. Kind of underrated. Rune factory: oceans was pretty good too. Reminded me a lot of animal crossing, it has that same relaxed daily life cycle. You can never go wrong with suda51's games, they're weird and have a great art style. My favourite being lollipop chainsaw, but if you don't like a cheerleader killing zombies. You can check out No More heroes or shadows of the damned. And if for some reason you have access to a x360, you need to get lost odyssey. Like seriously, buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes_994 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 For newcomers you cannot look past Persona 3 and 4 they are just that good! But for veterans, most skipped on Eternal Sonata and Resonance of Fate. Both are brilliant games! Aside from those, every Tales game except Tales of Graces, Ni No Kuni, Valkyria Chronicles (for me the best JRPG for the ps3), all Disgaea games and the FF except for 13 and 13-2. Aside from those The Atelier games and Time and Eternity are also good (played only one Atelier game and loved it) but very underrated. Also no JRPG fan can let themselves skip on the Fire Emblem series!! Awakening was brilliant (will buy the game myself when I get a 3ds this summer) and the two new games look even better. The previous FE games were also awesome but I did not like the first DS FE. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzero4812 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Try giving th other 20% a chance from the Sale u never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Try giving th other 20% a chance from the Sale u never know The remaining 20% are games I own but on other platforms Nah, I'm joking obviously. Those games aren't enough interesting for me. I don't really like real-like graphics games. El Shaddai: Ascension of the metatron was pretty good. Kind of underrated. Why do I feel weird for knowing this game? =D Edited June 27, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm quoted in the op Has anyone said Akiba's Trip yet? I'd recommend the Akiba's Trip series to people. Also do the Katamari games count as J-Games? I'd also recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillia Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Danganronpa forever and ever. There's an IA game that comes out in a month. The language barrier shouldn't be a problem since it's Vocaloid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSkyKing Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hatsune Miku Project Diva f & f 2nd are really fun! I like f 2nd better though. I would highly recommend Project Diva Dreamy Theater because it's my favorite in the franchise, but it's a real hassle to get :/ There's an IA game that comes out in a month. IA is getting her own game? I didn't think she was that popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
