Gotta say im really excited to see more JRPGs are coming to PS3 and more are being localized :) all that is left are the Tales of Seris -_-.

I don't like Japanese happy go lucky games or their animation style . If I play RPG's I like them to be dark like Fallout, or Demon Souls.

i don't quite get your description about Neptune.... but i sure dig the box art :D

Neptune is indeed really about System Wars :P. where all 3 systems/consoles fight together to get piracy which will be an evil queen etc, i dont know much about the game of yet but you will actually see consoles on that game in human form :P

Guess your more into Western RPGs. their all good both Japanese RPGs and Western

i'll be existed if they release a patch for oblivion goty and dark cloud 3,personna 5,mana khemia 3,suikoden 6 this is the kind of rpg i like:)

Yep I'll be getting them all. I might get the Rune Factory sequel on the other system though.

Announce Persona 5 already :(.-Hoax-

1) Neptune looks cool. I want it!
2) I have not played the other Agarest game and I probably never will so I dunno...
3) Isn't Rune Factory on Wii a bit like a mix between Harvest Moon and some casual fighting?

Neptune is a little on the meh side actually. It just seems clunky to me.

I won't touch anything Japanese without the Final Fantasy label. Im atleast inclined to try them.

I was hoping to see White Knight Chronicles 2 within that three :cry:

wait are these PSN download games?EpiphoneMan2008

im not a fan of jrpgs that much

I might look into Neptune some more it seems quite unique. Depending on the price I might get it.

As someone who loves the old PSX JRPGs and has been starved for a good one for quite some time (as we all have), I have to say, those look freakin' terrible. That's a shame that JRPGs are now being associated with a bunch of anime girls plastered everywhere... Xenogears pulled it off, but it wasn't using that as a selling point. frostybanana

If it wasn't for Xenogears, why is it for these games? Sounds like your trying to act like you know something about these games when you evidently don't. Maybe you would find more good JRPGs if you actually tried them without making baseless assumptions.

Indeed, while I like me some jrpgs, can't say any of those get my super excited. Will be fun to see how Neptune turns out, but it's not exactly a game to hold ones breath over. Especially when you consider the Tales games are probably better yet struggle for english releases. Quirkiest jrpg I'm looking forward to at the moment is Catherine, the rest kinda fall into the 'see how it goes' category.Sphire

Catherine is an action-adventure game, I don't know why you would think otherwise.

Oh yeah, that's a great argument... Xenogears is associated with anime because of the art obviously, but also because of an almost overly elaborate plotline as well. And looking at the artwork, it's obvious that they aren't trying to shove cliche, might-as-well-be-naked anime girls down your throat to sell their game.

Let's take a look at these covers:

Now let's look at one of the games in question:

Right...So we have half naked anime girls plastered all over the cover and one chick whose boobs are basically hanging right over the logo.

Now why would they do something like that? Gee, I wonder.

That's not an assumption, that's just another way for them to market their game. And if their game is so depthless that they feel the most discernible quality of their game is that cliche, half-naked anime chick, then the assumption that the game will be bad doesn't seem so stupid.

Besides that, what exactly are you trying to say? That there are good JRPGs out there that I'm too close minded to discover? Not the case at all. It's pretty much a given that JRPGs have been dying out since next-gen. And other than Lost Odyssey and Valkyria Chronicles, there haven't been any good next-gen JRPGs around.

Well obviously cause its still current gen :P But if you're looking for a good JRPG why not try Persona 3 and 4? Considering when they were released you could make the case it counts as this gen, even though they were released on last gen hardware.

out of those 3, only rune factor oceans interests me. used to be a huge fan of jrpgs but sadly haven't played any good ones recently :(

There's a difference between action/adventure and action RPGs. Demon's Soul's and Kingdom Hearts fit the action RPG genre. A game like say Zelda or Assassin's Creed would be an action adventure. I don't really know too much about the gameplay for Catherine, but from what I can gather its not going to be an RPG like Yangire said. And just because its done by the Persona team doesn't automatically mean it will be one either.Texas2089

I do get the difference, I just still assumed it was gonna be an rpg. Must say I haven't been following up on much gaming news for a while, but anyway, that sorta makes me less excited for it. Oh well, here's hoping to a fun action adventure game then.

[QUOTE="Texas2089"][QUOTE="frostybanana"] Played them, and I like them. I'm not in love with them, but they're very good games. By next-gen I just meant 7th generation console games. PS2 has some great JRPGs. Problem is they're a lot harder to make for next-gen systems so the quantity has dipped considerably. frostybanana

I've lost hope in JRPGs. This gen, all JRPGs have sucked. Final Fantasy 13 takes the cake for the worst. I just don't understnd what it is that goes through their head when they design their characters, for example Vanille, WTF? They lost their magic touch, Western RPGs have taken over. Why can't they go back to originl stories with more appealing characters instead of the cliche Save the World theme with guys who look exactly like the girls. Why can't they go back to real heroic characters instead of the try-hard-2-look-cool and the sissy (Hope) personas? DevilishStyles

[QUOTE="Texas2089"] Those are the 2 best JRPG's I've played over the last 2-3 years so I'm not sure of any others you could try.Texas2089

Lost Odyssey was a bore. I fell asleep multiple times while playing that game.

Have you guys played Tales of Vesperia? That was a good jrpg fix. Granted it's not on the ps3, but then again neither is LO. I recently played P3P, and while it was nice, I can't say I was enthralled by it. P4 is supposedly better, hopefully I'll get to try it someday. Personnaly though I quite enjoyed FFXIII, so I'm not exactly in a rut for jrpgs (then again that was more than 6 months ago...)

And if either you guys, or anyone else who enjoys jrpgs haven't tried NieR, I'd recommend it. It's a niche title, so it's gonna be hit and miss, but you'll never know unless you try. Also it's an action rpg, so not technically in the vein of a jrpg, but still.
