Welcome to the PS4 JRPG database brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend.
E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well.
E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation.
E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain.
E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

Persona 5
Persona 5 is a turn based JRPG with a focus on social simulation. After awakening their Persona, the main party, known as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, explore the supernatural realm of adults in order to destroy their ill intent. When you’re not working a part-time job and doing other leisure activities, you will be exploring dungeons and battling it out with your Persona.
Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy End
Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy End is a hack n’ slash game developed by Omega Force. The RPG elements are heavier and more refined here relative to the previous game. World exploration better resembles the typical Dragon Quest experience and there are seamless random monster encounters.

The killings are linked to a serial murder who supposedly died years ago. The gameplay consists of text based situations, point and click mechanics, and interactive question and answer segments.
Song of Memories (import)

E3 2017 Hype and Discussion Thread - Episode XXII: The Empire Strikes Knack
It is that time of the year again. The event that brings great announcements, live mishaps, and gamer angst. With the Entertainment Software Association opening their doors to the public for the first time ever, and the Big 3 looking to have big shows, this E3 seems like it will be one worth remembering!
Sony will be following a spectacular presser from last year. Minimal speakers, swift pace and great content made their showing last year one of the best in E3 history. With PS4 Pro and PSVR launched, Sony will be prioritizing software with the power to push the hardware. Sony will return to the Shrine Auditorium with God of War, Spider-Man and Sucker Punch’s new IP leading the charge. It is somewhat difficult to guess what Sony will have to announce, but they better have that orchestra along for the ride regardless! Oh, and release dates.
Microsoft’s conference should be looking to push Scorpio as much as possible this year. They will have games like Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves to showcase why folk should be interested in the new system. Beyond that, Microsoft will be trying to diminish some of the recent buildup of negativity and apathy for the Xbox brand. There has been a more positive flow of announcements since the cancellation of Scalebound back in January of this year (Game Pass, rumored refund policy, continued backward compatibility support, etc…), but Microsoft still has room to push even further by announcing new and interesting games to go along with Scorpio. We can’t be sure if Microsoft will be able to hit a homerun but, at the very least, we will see some absolutely gorgeous video game footage no matter how it turns out.
Nintendo should be coming big this year. With major internal support having dwindled over the years for Wii U, and the Switch off to a great start commercially, Nintendo seems to be in the position to announce a slew of titles for Switch. Granted, Nintendo has pointed out that the focus of their Direct will be on 2017 games. We should expect to see a lot of titles like Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Even so, Nintendo may be able to dish out a few games in the oven and perhaps a surprise or two.
---
Bethesda provided the image above of ‘Bethesdaland’ and it is representative of their properties. We can see constructions for Doom, Elder Scrolls and Quake. There are also two areas under construction, however. This would seem to imply that Bethesda has two new game announcements to make at E3 this year. Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and The Evil Within 2 seem to be the most likely for possible announcements.
---
Ubisoft returns this year with a focus on titles like South Park: The Fractured But Whole, The Crew 2, Far Cry 5, and the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed series. Beyond that, they should have another unannounced title up their sleeve. Ubisoft says their new game is a “multiplayer title with live operations”. We’ll see what Vivendi Ubisoft can do to surprise with their conference. And they’ll let Aisha Taylor host again if they know what is good for them.
EA will continue with their EA Play presser this year. Star Wars Battlefront 2 will be their major title for the event with games like Fifa and Need for Speed appearing as well.

Welcome to the PS4 JRPG database brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend.
E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well.
E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation.
E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain.
E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

Welcome to the PS4 JRPG database brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend.
E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well.
E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation.
E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain.
E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

Welcome to the greatest, most complete PS4 JRPG database on the interwebs brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend.
E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well.
E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation.
E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain.
E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

Everyone's favorite game publisher. While their lineup isn't nearly as pathetic as last year's, it still leaves much to be desired, only having five console games of which one is already out. Out of the partner titles, I would be very excited. The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel III is coming to the PS4 this month! In Japan (sorry gaijin). Also the PS Vita is getting a port of Va-11 Hall-A, a really cool Steam game where you're a bartender in a cyberpunk city.

Welcome to the greatest, most complete PS4 JRPG database on the interwebs brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend. E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well. E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation. E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain. E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

New and Coming Soon This is the spotlight section for JRPGs that just came out and are coming out within the next month. This section will be updated monthly to feature some interesting looking games around the corner.
Welcome to the greatest, most complete PS4 JRPG database on the interwebs brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend. E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well. E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation. E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain. E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

New and Coming Soon This is the spotlight section for JRPGs that just came out and are coming out within the next month. This section will be updated monthly to feature some interesting looking games around the corner.
Welcome to the greatest, most complete PS4 JRPG database on the interwebs brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend. E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well. E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation. E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain. E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate

New and Coming Soon This is the spotlight section for JRPGs that just came out and are coming out within the next month. This section will be updated monthly to feature some interesting looking games around the corner.
Welcome to the greatest, most complete PS4 JRPG database on the interwebs brought to you by FatedAnarchy and myself. This is a multipurpose, moderator approved, list/newsletter/discussion thread for various types of JRPGs on the PlayStation 4 system that come out. This thread can be used for discussion on current and upcoming Japanese Role Playing Games for the PS4 of various subgenres. In addition, the thread acts as a newsletter and the OP will be updated monthly to feature new games in our spotlight section. We also need help expanding the list, so if you know of any Japanese Role Playing Games that aren't on the list, please feel free to suggest additions to the database. The first section will explain the differences between the different subgenres of the JRPG genre.
ARPG
Action JRPGs, or Action Japanese Role-Playing Games, are in a loosely defined subgenre of RPGs that prioritize active or real-time combat. These games usually give the player direct control over their character and revolve around various combat systems including (but not limited to) Hack N’ Slash and a melee/magic blend. E.g, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Ys, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter
Turn Based JRPG
Turn Based JRPGs have the player set within a particular timeframe in order to perform various actions. After the timeframe comes to an end, control is shifted over to another player or enemy in order for them to go through the same situation. There are some games in this subgenre that combine elements from active and turn/time based systems as well. E.g, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Persona, Suikoden
Tactical/Strategy Based JRPG
This subgenre typically forgoes traditional RPG systems in place of strategic gameplay that has the player planning tactical movements across isometric grids. Over the years, various gameplay elements have been added to the subgenre such as stealth and procedural generation. E.g, Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles
Visual Novel
Visual novels, or sound novels, feature mostly static graphics with gameplay based on clicking to keep text, graphics and sound going in order to continue the narrative. Most visual novels have more than one storyline and some also incorporate different elements like the playing of an instrument in Symphonic Rain. E.g, Fate/Stay Night, Steins;Gate
