Are there any good recent JRPGs on the PC/PS3/NDS?

Pic related, last one I played.

[ponpon No.]

I just finished Nier and am playing it again. What a good game~

I can only speak for PS3 but it's pretty lacking in JRPGs. Especially since Nier isn't one. There's the obvious FF13 though. Maybe get some good Japanese developed games instead of seeking out JRPGs only?

Pre-emptive Trinity Universe sucks don't get it.

One portable console system is more than enough, it's not like I travel around a lot.

this

and honorable demon's souls mention for ps3. It might not be the kind of JRPG you are looking for, but it's awesome.

What? Nier is a JRPG in every way. Just because it's not turn based does not mean it's not one.

ZHP really isn't a JRPG.

I'm having some fun with it, but I feel like the game's too easy, and when it's hard it's for all the wrong reasons like grinding and spawning in the middle of an enemy lair.

At best it's a J-Action-RPG? It doesn't abide by multiple points in that link you provided.

Even going by standard definitions though, when most people hear JRPG I think a more FF/Tales/etc type game comes to mind.

That monkey is off my back forever.

Unless they make a sequel.

Goddamn the urge to play it is just so great.

Actually, I think it not being turn based does mean it's not one.

Do you call Castlevania: SoTN a JRPG? It's got level ups and everything!

- Linear Plot
- Predesigned Characters
- RPG elements (e.g. levelling, parties)

These 3 are enough to make a game a JRPG.

Warcraft 3 is a JRPG.

SotN is nonlinear. NieR is linear.

>>6637181

It can be. Hell, StarCraft has jRPG maps.

Don't be an idiot. One more obvious point I left out is made in Japan, because I though we were only discussing games from there. And RTS is a genre, JRPG is a subgenre.

Lack of mini games. Arguably not "party based" as the commands you can give them are super limited. Not turn based. Though turn based doesn't matter that much as I mentioned the Tales games. Anyway I'm not arguing about definitions, I'm just saying Nier isn't your stereotypical JRPG.

>Lack of mini games.

Oh boy, then many of the RPGs like Lunar I played years ago aren't JRPGs then. Fucking newfag.

Calm down, I'm just going by the points listed in the link the guy provided (>>6637137) showing that it was a bad source.

I feel bad for ignoring studying and playing Nier so much; I wanted to play it during the Christmas break. Maybe I'll replay FF13 or MGS4 or something. Need a break from Demon's Souls after putting like 150 hours into it.
