So, any anime and/or JRPG fans around?

I'd like to know which are your favourite and why? For both.



Also, any reccomendations you might have for some new anime.

What's JRPG?

Japanese RPG's. You know...like Final Fantasy and such.

So like... RPGs?

Yes.

Just edited to focus this thread on the JRPG thang and leave the other devoted to anime.

Yeah but they're a pretty different genre from Western RPGs, sometimes to the point they're not considered RPGs at all - more like interactive stories. (You often don't get to create and play your own character, for example, and there is no choice & consequence.) On the other hand, I feel JRPGs have preserved the turn- and party-based dynamic of tabletop D&D better than most western games.

Yeah...they don't exactly work the same way, and people usually distinguish it as a "subgenre" of RPG's because of the art style and also the fact that they're closer to their RPG roots (the turn-based system like he said is a good example). As for the choice & consequence some do give you that option, but yeah, still a lot more limited and in a considerably smaller number than Western ones do.

Just some quick recommendations, since I'm at work.

JRPGS:
Tales of Symphonia
Ar nosurge
Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon

Anime:
Shinsekai Yori
Danshi Kokosei no Nichijo
Eden of the East

Of all the suggestions i only know Tales of Symphonia because i played Tales of Graces F.

So thanks, i'll definitely check your suggestions out! I love me some good anime and JRPG's.

It wasn't. I actually didn't know there was a difference between RPG and JRPG, hence I asked.

@Karlabos: Okay.

Any good PS3 JRPGs? The Final Fantasy games sucked big time in the PS3 era.

Ni No Kuni was the best in my opinion. You should check it out mate!

You can find it cheap in the PS Store. I think i saw it for like 10? or something last time. So around 30 reais i think. Hope you enjoy it!

Wow, this cheap? In here, PS3 games cost between R$60-120.

Well it's not the norm or anything, i was suprised as well when i saw it. Usually this kind of games only hits these prices either if you're subscribed to PS Plus or some 4 or 5 years later. But i guess it didn't sell that much, at least here in Europe, so the price drop was fast and quite substantial.
Still R$60 is a good deal for this game. It's a gem.

Ni No Kuni is indeed something quite special. Reminds me a lot of Dragon Quest VIII, which is my favourite RPG of all time.

PS: Level 5 makes the best JRPG's out there. Even Fantasy Life for the 3DS is quite awesome!
