Maybe Vanguard Princess? It's certainly the most anime game I've ever played.

Maybe EDF?

as much gaming I've done in my time, I can't honestly tell you.

if you mean by Japanese as in Import though, I think I have a Japanese copy of Inuyasha Fedual Japan somewhere. I don't know, either that or Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension for the SNES.

I don't know, but I have a LOT of Japanese Developed Games for all of my systems.

I suppose the Tales serie and/or Yakuza could qualify.

Bayonneta. A game with almost perfect gameplay, yet be filled with an idioticly insane nonsense story, silly characters, weird minigames, cheesy Jpop music, and a completely sexed up main character, pretty much sums up Japanese gaming for me...

To be honest I think MGS is pretty Japanese. It's pretty much anime for Westerners who don't realize they like anime.

the lack of rhythm tengoku/heaven in this thread disappoints me. BEHOLD:

Persona 3. While not overly weird, it's definitely something that I wouldn't expect to come out of the west.

Okami is pretty much the correct answer, as it is largely based on Japanese mythology. However, I would submit Incredible Crisis as a runner up.

the game that you'd play and say "this could've only come from japan" the fastest, and with the most conviction.

I guess Bayonetta, it was a very weird but awesome game. Just filled with random crazy stuff, sort of like Suda 51's stuff, but even more so.

I never played an actual bootlegged Japanese game, nor do I care to.

Sengoku Rance It's like a combination of what people consider 'weird japan' (meaning tentacles, lolis, magical girls, etc.) set in a version of Feudal Japan with a good amount of classic Japanese mythology, and with game play that's half VN and half super generic but really fun Japanese squad turn based combat.

I mean just look at these:

Katamari Damacy is probably my favorite, with its super j-poppy soundtrack, its bizarre and quirky world, and unique and non-conventionally-formulaic gameplay. I'd of said Persoan 3 & 4 as being my favorites but I figure much of their greatness is split between design and localization. so I'll just stick with Katamri Damacy for its seemingly raw "Japanese"ness.

Like the worst thing you could ever waste 10 GB of disk space on. Why some people thought it would be a good idea to localize it baffles me, cause there seems to be nobody that likes it.

It's not that hard to get a good ending. It's just traumatizing if you don't.

But yeah, even if you get a good ending the story sucks. The bad endings in a twisted way are more satisfying. So I agree it didn't deserve to get localzied.

Disaster: Day of Crisis. A Japanese take on Western action that is so cheesy that it is hard to tell whether it's a parody or not.

Agreed. Edited that into my last post before you posted. :P

And I'm not entirely sure where I was going with this post.
