GizmoCat79 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I’ll be going in May. What are the easiest games on PS4 to plat that are only available in Japan? They don’t have to be in English if they’re quick and easy to plat with a guide. I’m interested in getting as many as possible so about 20+ or more titles I can find. They don’t have to be brand new, can be second hand. What’s the best places to get them from in Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Couldn't you have just combined this topic with your previous one? Your second question applies to both PS4 and Vita games I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapika96 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Best place to get them is Book Off by far! Easy platinums would be all of those visual novels, not sure if you could really call them games though so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Sorta off topic - how great to visit Japan! How long will you be over there and what city are you visiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoCat79 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I’m still planning my itenary but we’ll be going to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Can’t wait. Never been before but always wanted to. Looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book Off is probably the best physical place to buy them but you can usually find things cheaper on Japanese Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post make me question myself about the fact that how can someone visit a country and think about the trophies rather than enjoying from the visit. But we are trophy hunters right? I can give some easy VITA games suggestions. I have no idea about PS4 releases in Japan. Since you are asking for easy games your best option will be 'otome' games which we call shitty visual novels. Someone above recommended Book Off and yes he is right. Put that down to your list. -AIR -FLOWERS series -Bad Apple Wars -Code Realize -Steins Gate series -NORN9 series -Amnesia series Those are the games with English titles that I remember but If you want to go beyond, there are many otome games with Japanese title. Like many. They will surely ruin your trophy list with all the kana and kanji characters they have in the trophy names. You can check psimport for the otome releases to easily track down the games with fast completion; http://psimports.org/releases/ (Only 2017) You can also check the VITA section of the forum to find old titles with fast completion. Have fun in Japan. Put the Fukuoka to your list. Hands down they have the best ramen in Japan. Edited January 14, 2018 by Abysm_Nucleus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been before but always wanted to. Looks amazing. I love Japan and will try to go back this year. In Tokyo you'll want to visit "Book Off" and "Hard Off", probably visit Akihabara as there are some excellent second hand game stores. For new games you can go to BIC Camera all over Japan. While in Tokyo if you're going to Shibuya? On that famous cross walk there is a Tsutaya store, excellent for new games and I was lucky to be there on Dark Souls 3 release day. Now you're going to Osaka? You must go to Denden town, The Wonderloop bus will take you there and it is absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not entirely true. While new games in Japan are pretty pricey, used games can be very cheap indeed. Depends largely on the game of course, but there are some real bargains with some games only around ¥120 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z1MZUM Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I bought ff7 International sealed for close to $20 Aus at Tsutaya, I also bought Yakuza Kiwami new for around $15 in book off. You'll pay more at Bic Camera though second hand is not expensive, gotta follow those "Off" stores. The hard off in Akihabara is really tiny though they have a great selection, I bought my 1st vita from there in 2016. Now I'll take a stab in the Dark here, Are you doing a stop over in Hong Kong? Go to the Golden super market, I've been buying pirated and real gear there since the NES, It's a fire trap but a gamers heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckerberos Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Also, just as an FYI since people are recommending Book Off, but you can also order from their website. Same prices as their stores and free delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
