Seriously, are there? I like the format, but I almost universally hate the characters. I like the concepts for the stories, but generally don't like the actual story execution.
To make matters worse, I'm a PC gamer, and use mostly steam.
Why do you 'need a good JRPG to buy' if you think they're all 'cringey'?
Asher Roberts
>"cringe"
Just hurry up back to fucking Reddit
Cooper Thompson
Problem is I have played those a thousand times. Those were my golden years of gaming. Looking for something I haven't played that works similarly for me. If I ignore the characters and story I can find things, but I need some sort of story investment to make me care.
Christopher Campbell
You mean real life?
Because having an actual social life is the reason JRPG characters are generally so cringe to me.
Tyler Evans
Trails in the Sky. On Steam. Devoid of modern anime tropes. It's just like a 90s JRPG.
Kevin Ramirez
Looks like you need to get out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons.
Christopher Lee
Lol you fucking destroyed that weeb
Ayden Foster
Is this sarcastic?
Ethan Gomez
Shut the fuck up kid, you just don't understand JRPGs and their uniqueness
Connor Moore
How so? I think you just have autism.

Anime stories are great man what are you talking about
Christopher Clark
fuck off
Logan Gonzalez
That sounds like something a faggot trying to fuck a straight dude would say.
Josiah Garcia
Lets use an example from the thread itself: Trails in the Sky
Played the first one. Now I'm only going to use the first cringey thing that comes to mind. Girl wants to bang her adopted brother. Wincest fantasies aside, this is actually really really cringe in real life. Also, forced crossdressing.
Nolan James
I can smell the underage on you. I'd guesstimate 15.
Jose Reyes
Weird, I get that feeling from anyone who would have that thought, considering my issues with the genre.
Adrian Garcia
>destroyed the weeb >on an anime image board
Joseph Flores
Mainline SMT games are not cringey. At least not by my standards (haven't played IV though, but I did play Strange Journey and it was great)
Gabriel Green
>le cringe
Jackson Perez
>I'm a PC gamer, and use mostly steam
cringe
Andrew Sullivan
>Nip dick sucking faggot still buttmad
Nice shit taste in media bud, kys.

Isaiah Lee
Well, what have you played and why didn't you enjoy them?
Emulate some SNES JRPGs, namely Secret of Mana, Lufia II, and Chrono Trigger. They are quintessential to the genre.
Anthony Allen
>I'm a PC gamer, and use mostly steam
Let me tell you about something called emulator. It's a software that allows you to play a game released on a console, and it's fucking great.
Parker Kelly
But the power of friendship can overcome anything OP
Parker Young
>kys
Ah, so you're a child. Everything makes sense
Jose Morales
Yeah, I know. Steam is convenient, though. And I don't want to have accounts everywhere across the internet.
Asher Collins
Reading through the thread, I think jrpgs aren't for you. You should move on and play something else. Wrpgs maybe.
You might like SMT: Nocturne or one of the snes smt games, but I don't think most jrpgs have what you're looking for.
Jaxson Hill
Yeah. He just seems to want "jarpegs that aren't actually like jarpegs" which is fine, but he should look for other games. Have you played LISA OP?
Camden Young
lol
Tyler James
Sigh... well, I've been getting that feeling for a while, but older ones were a lot more tolerable, good even. It's cliche, but FFT is one of my favorite games of all time. And I usually find WRPGs to be boring and nearly completely un-engaging.
Zachary Ward
>caption meme images >I'm a gamer >dude cringe xD Take your filthy ass back to csgo surf maps, underage faggot.

All DQ games are great fag

>Sigh... Don't use ellipses or say "Sigh" when posting. This is an imageboard. You can use images to convey the same thing and your disappointment is usually clear without saying those things. That being said, what do you like about JRPGs and what do you dislike about JRPGs? If you don't get specific it's hard to give you recommendations. Do you want a gripping story, heavy focus on characters, lots of player choices? It's like saying "recommend me a show". It isn't too specific.
Ian Fisher
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead.
Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that.
You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on Sup Forums by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat.
This ain't reddit, kid. This is Sup Forums. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

In a college debate class, a Shaftfag and a Kyoanusfag were debating which was the superior studio.
"Shaft isn't technically an anime studio!"
"At least their faces don't all look the same!"
Just then a brave Trigger fan who had bought over 1500 KLK figurines and fully understood the necessity of Inou Battle stood up and held up what appeared to be a rock. "How old is this rock, bakas?" he asked.
"O-Haruhi-sama created it 9 years ago, ahou," said the Kyoanusfag.
"No, Godoka created it 4 years ago, and Homucifer recreated it 1.5 years ago," said the Shaftfag.
"Wrong! This is actually a bundle of Life Fibers created by based Trigger 2 years ago! If it were created by Godoka or Homucifer it would be tilting its head by now, and if it were created by Haruhi it would have evolved the Kyoanus sameface by now!" he said.
The two students were visibly shocked, dropped their unsold Tamako Market and Sasami-san DVD's, and ran out of the room crying their crocodile tears. The same tears Shaftfags cry in joy and Kyoanusfags cry in sadness, still thinking that sales=quality.
The student applauded and quit to enroll in Honnouji Academy that day. "Before My Body Is Dry" was sung several times, and a Goku uniform labeled 'Savior of Animu' landed on the flag and shed a tear on a discarded uniform. Ragyo Kiryuuin herself appeared to offer everyone free Goku uniforms.
The two debators lost their tuition and were expelled the next day. They died when they were betrayed by their clothing, and Inferno Cop himself showed up to personally take them to the lake of fire for eternity.
Michael Rivera
Yeah, quite a few actually.

Turn based, deep story with interesting plot/premise, adult characters, high difficulty/deep strategy
I'll type how I want, though.

Underrated.
Anthony James
OP should play this.
Wyatt Edwards
>I have an actual social life >Instead of asking friends what to play, let me ask random strangers on the internet what I should play Protip: Next time put more than 2 minutes of thought into your lies.
Also if the genre itself has stories you can't get into why not just play something else? Dumbfuck.
Brayden Martin
>I have played those a thousand times. You mean you played FFII and maybe Chrono Trigger 5 times. Have you even heard of Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei?
It's Ars Goetia-tier, so people that hate le anime would probably enjoy it if they enjoy dungeon crawlers on any level.
Landon Butler
It's been recommended before. Honestly not sure why I haven't at least tried it. So, I guess I just need to.
Isaiah Morales
no fun allowed by top hat and monocle college aged "adults" anymore
Henry Clark
I have not, but I'll check it out.
Cameron Rodriguez
Yo what's up Senpai I know it's 2 am but can you recommend me some JRPG games with less emphasis on the cliche animu girls that are less week pandering?
You: "wahhh don't talk about games on a game board"
Fucking idiot.
Jacob Green
duh faggot
Logan Adams
I came here for suggestions and I got some.
Caleb Lee
Check out Undertale my man. It will certainly fit your tastes.
Charles Taylor
Avoid Tales of Faggotry games.
FF games tend to be westernized enough. Lost Odyssey is what FF13 should of been. Bravely Default is great but Bravely Second is a bit more anime than the first game.
Brayden Rivera
>le good old days You know you'd hate half of the games you like if they were released today, faggot. Most of Sup Forums is like this
You people know that if games like most of the ones you enjoy came out today as new IPs, you'd be hypercritical of them. >Deus Ex is tinfoil hat wearing bullshit for alt-right nutjobs >Diablo is a retarded Christfag brainwashing game in disguise. Can't fool me, Blizzard, I know this game is all appeal to emotion. >Mario is a randumb faggy platformer. Talking mushrooms and evil turtles? They definitely want the Twitch audience for wacky streaming. >Legend of Zelda? Why do I want to play a game about some gay weeaboo anime swordsman? >Metal Gear Solid? This is just a meme game. They even mention memes! Why am I just running around in cover while these non-sequitur bad guys attack me in this stupid popamole cinematic """"shooter""""? >Mortal Kombat? This is just some edgy, attention whoring weeaboo game that wants to try so hard to look Japanese, it's pathetic. >Sonic? This is just literal furry pandering. There is no reason for a character like Cream to exist outside of loli furry pandering, Tails is for the shotafags, and Knuckles is only there for forced nigger diversity, 0/10
Elijah Walker
>adult characters That seems like an arbitrary restriction unless you mean mature characters, but even then having everyone be "I am so mature and sophisticated all according to keikaku" isn't good writing. You should try LISA the Painful then. You'd really like it. You could try LISA the first, but it is a walking simulator. It helps when understanding The Painful though. If you don't make posts befitting of the standards of posting then you're breaking the rules and mods might ban you.
Nathan Kelly
One of these threads, huh?
John Gray
>Yo what's up Senpai I know it's 2 am How is this any less cringe than the average RPG? You sound like a fucking idiot in denial.
By the way I hope you're at least playing these in a dorm or with someone else in the room because if you play alone in your room and you still get embarrassed by what you play then I can only imagine what kind of emasculated faggot / clown you must be.
Once again >Needed to ask Sup Forums what games to play Nobody here is an idiot but you.

Symphonia and Vesperia are fun though.

Valkyria Chronicles if you omit the beach episode.

>This reading comprehension >Think I'm the OP
I'm done. Talking to you is cringe as fuck cuz you're just a weeb fanboy and you're also dumb as fuck. Sorry redundant.
Aaron Rogers
I would really like you to name a single WRPG that's come out in the last 3 years that is actually any good.
Jaxon Adams
Then why the fuck are you playing JRPGs in the first place? Is this bait?

You need to go back.

Brody Ortiz
So you're saying your social life consists of bitter fucking wagecucks who hang out at bars all the time?
Lol, talk about "cringe" your fucking social life sounds like actual shit.
Jose Lewis
Name ONE (1) good WRPG from the last 10 years
Owen Lee
Edgy cunt.

Every Square Enix game I've tried to get has been a crappy PC port that hasn't worked on either of my PCs
Well, have some things to go on, now. Going to get one of these suggestions and try to play something.

Ayden Campbell
Most people still find anime and shit related to it cringey like OP said so don't act as if it is weird faggot.
Jordan Baker
for some reason social outcast autists get offended when you bring up cringing. why do you guys get bothered by it? because the word intrinsically makes you remember how embarrassing your life has been?
Juan Bell
But user, don't you love "Follow the Red Line" quests and clunky combat? Throw in endless dialogue that puts you to sleep most of the time, and you have THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!!!
LMAO
Dominic Taylor
sounds more like you suffer from shit taste like most amerifats just deal with it and move on
Lucas Myers
Under Rail. LISA. Darkest Dungeon is okay.

baka desu senpai
Kevin Thomas
Why make a thread like this? Anyone who is capable of giving you a good recommendation won't post if you make a shitty OP so you'll only get bad recommendations. What are you trying to accomplish?
Jonathan Scott
If you don't like weird shit you shouldn't be here. I am not saying that to be mean, but this isn't a place for "normal" standards.
Aiden Peterson
all the weebs in this thread defending anime writing please post pictures of your disgusting fat faces so we can better understand the connection between being an unfuckable loser and being dependent on anime for your sexual and social interaction. youre not fooling anyone, we all know what you are. please just stop deflecting
Are you saying this game trailer of a 100% western game ISNT cringe? LOL
You fucking brainwashed western cocksucker. Western games are by far WAY more "cringey" than Jap games. Fuck off, you goddamn retard.
Christian Bailey
I've been here for years nigger get over it. You weebshits should fuck off if you don't like people with other tastes.
Blake Jones
No thanks, NSA-kun.
Jackson Richardson
Fallout new vegas,mass effect,dragon age origins,alpha protocol,the witcher series and I probably forgot a few.
David Evans
If NSA-kun wanted to see your face, he could just call up CIA-sama and get it.
Thomas Cox
Still better than any incest and pedophillia filled japshit game.
Connor Taylor
which alphabet agency is the cutest
Jordan Nguyen
Im honestly cringing at all of the people in this thread posting their anime games and saying "I swear it's not like the others!"" Like I tried that Trails in the Sky game and it literally had a bath scene where the girls are naked and anime humor
