The Official JRPG Thread (aka Japanese Role Playing Games) - Page 30

oooh! With the New Monster Hunter coming to the 3ds [Mh 3G] I might have to get a 3ds

 

but I'm playing Custom Robo and ToS atm. I still love ToS to death. And it's AWESOME in 1080p (using the dolphin Emulator :D) 

 

I'm enjoying Disgea 2 as well. 

Been a while since I played a new JRPG - last two were Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Pokemon Black.

 

Just started Persona 3 FES, I'm hooked. Listening to Burn my Dread, and other songs from the game when I'm not playing it. Also would like to get a pair of the MC's headphones.. the ATH-EM7's are quite handsome. I might dip into Persona 4 as well after that. Speaking of urban fantasy, I wish Square Enix would stop teasing me:

 

The World Ends with You has to be not only one of my favorite JRPGs, but also one of my favorite games of all time. That game alone made everything else in my spring semester of my junior year of high school much more enjoyable.

 

Pokemon Ruby/Emerald are also on that list of favorite JRPGS.

Like TWEWY it's possible they could receive a sequel, and by that I mean a remake (D/P/Pt, B/W as actual sequels weren't too exciting - Platinum was somewhat better than Black though). A 4th gen remake would have been excellent - Soul Silver and Heart Gold were so polished I can just imagine how well R/S/E would have been with a facelift (and unlike TWEWY's iOS port, the changes would be significant and much more time has passed since I last played those games so I'm sure I'd enjoy it immensely.)

Oh cool! FFX HD is gonna get released soon and and I still don't have a Vita... sigh...

xD poor guy

 

I take it as you have it already then?

I also still didn't jump the gun on a vita... Probably wont be able to for a while.

On the note of the P3 MC earphones, are they even still buy able? They look awesome no doubt but its been many years since they stopped production.

Yeah, you can't find them in stores anymore... the red wood counterparts of the female protagonist from the portable version can be found, and it might be possible to find the updated version of the original, the ATH EM700Ti, but the EM7 GM are long gone. Hoping maybe to score a pair on the trade forum here.

 

I'm too. I just don't have money to buy Vita AND the games. I can only invest on my PS3. Though I'll buy it before Slim Vita is released, if ever

You can always get the PS3 version of the FFX HD games. The comparison looks pretty.

Personally, I don't think there are enough great Vita games out yet. I remember it was also the same with the PSP, but it fixed itself after some time. Not sure when Vita will do the same.

 

Mmm... Pretty... I'll buy the PS3 version since it comes with FFX-2 too. Can't wait to play this. Got my PS2 version guide ready LOL. Well, one thing is for sure, I'll get the VITA before the slim version is out

Does anybody remember Ys and Legend of Heroes series... I still remember the first JRPG I played was Ys I & II where there was only clashing into the enemies but no actually sword art or attacks or anything, but they sure did bring me into the world of JRPG...

I love Falcom games!

Ys I & II are the only Ys games I absolutely couldn't play. Wasn't sure if there was some trick to clashing into enemies but I always died to weakest field mob. :<

 

Recently bought the history of YS artbook too +___+ was so expensive but... pretty good stuff in there.

 

Hahahaha, yeah I still remember it took me months to figure out I need to get more armor in order to take less damage from clashing into the enemies. I want to see the artbook!! Can you tell me where I can purchase one as well?

I ordered mine off Kinokuniya Japan, shipped overseas. I actually didn't check if it was available in the other global stores... I guess that wasn't smart.

May be a little complicated in terms of ordering process (mostly in Japanese) but one thing you should know first...

That artbook is. Huge. And. Heavy.

The shipping was more expensive than the book! haha

 

You can always try forwarding services like Tenso but once again, price is pretty up there due to size and weight.

Anyone plan on picking up Summon Night 5? Pre-order bonus is a delicious Takeshi Iizuka (also the Kino no Tabi illustrator) artbook. The limited edition bonus, on the other hand, isn't much: SN5 protagonist cards for the online Summon Night card game. As if the new SN3 novel wasn't enough, there's also a new SN5 tie-in novel. I'm so psyched that Namco Bandai has been doing so much for the series. I feel the need to squeal like a ecstatic schoolgirl. ^_^
