I am always tired. Don't bother me.
I mean, best place to start is to look at what you've played and from there we can gauge which jrpgs you may enjoy. No No Kuni is definitely worth picking up. It's arguably the best jrpg on the PS3.
recent games or all time?
i mean at least on irc it's known im a bit of a jrpg nut; ive played the chrono series / mana series / suikoden series / all the FFs / a lot of the Tactics Ogres / both the Legaia games / 3 of the xeno games / tons of tales games / tons of DQ games
ive also played a lot of the gb adv / ds / 3ds rpgs (too many to list)
yea, ive already played ni no kuni / child of light and 3 weeks ago i bought and finished lost dimension

You should get into the Persona series if you haven't already.
EDIT: Seconding the Shin Megami Tensei recommendation.

idk if it can be called "recent" any more, but bravely default was a pretty good jrpg for the 3ds
your avi is from one of my all time favorite games... is there a legitimate sequel or just a bunch of rumors some weeb started. As far as the game goes I beat the entire thing on hard mode after grinding maximum job levels on all my characters and running this build (for the final bosses of course)

Speaking of JRPGs, Trails in the Sky SC is coming out today or something. Any news on that?
So I just reread a certain Game Informer, and a game I heard about from it popped back into my mind. I went and searched.
So, No Man's Sky seems like it's going to be a fun game. Don't mean to change the topic Blue_Tornado, but I had to talk about this. I love exploration games where there are unique animals. Spore was a favorite game of mine for a long time. No Man's Sky seems like it will be everything I wanted in the space stage of Spore, and I can't want to play. Has anyone else heard of it before this? Are you planning to buy it? I'm definitely buying it, and alongside Abzu No Man's Sky is one of my most anticipated games.
No Mans Sky looks absolutely phenomenal. I'm sort of trying to not get hyped too much... And I am really hoping for a PC release. I don't want to get a PS4 for it. I am super interested in how it's going to play out, because you can start literally anywhere, and the devs themselves have had to send out probes into the galaxy they have created in order to map stuff. The newest trailer looks ace too.
Anyone here been playing Halo 5?
It is also coming to PC. c:
I'll uh, append this to my post then.
Legend of Heroes, Trails in the Sky is an awesome heartful detailed little JRPG which isn't little at all actually, it is chock full of dialogue and it's a damn trilogy to boot. But really, really solid, and a huge find for JRPG fans.
Because it has so much dialogue, it took a long time for them to localize the second part in the trilogy but it finally came out on steam yesterday. You all should play the first and then the second.

I liked all the games in the Pushmo series, each one is a puzzle platformer (every sequel adds a refreshing new twist): Pushmo, Crashmo, Pushmo World (FTP), and Stretchmo --pretty sure they're around 15 bucks but I'm too lazy to check, at least less than retail price though
HarmoKnight is a rhythm platformer/action/adventure game by GAME FREAK, makers of Pokemon (but actually nothing like pokemon). At exactly fifteen dollars it has nice art, great music, and a lot of levels (along with some secret levels, collectibles, and another hard mode to keep you playing long after you complete the final game).
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labryinth is also on sale for only 20 bucks (yay), so there's that too.
mighty switch force 1 and 2
Good puzzles, good gameplay, even better music. Done by wayforward and has got to be their best-received 'mighty' series so far.

A bunch of atlus games on sale right now. Also Cave Story if you have not played it.
me
i got onyx league (think masters on LoL) on swat but stopped there cause the spawns and arena maps (as in, literally all of them) are atrocious, you get the same dudes every game just on diff teams, and champion league is a boring grind that im not sure is worth cuz the devs wanna do seasonal resets and no rewards afaik
campaign was decent for 343 expectations (no spoilerino)
i find the most fun in warzone, cant wait for the btb playlist though cause even warzone can get boring after a few hours.
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ GIVE INFECTION PLAYLIST ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Add me. idiot from mars on xbl. Got Onyx in SWAT as well and Diamond in Slayer. I really liked the challenge of the campaign on solo legendary. Definitely seemed a step over 4 in that regard, but it definitely took a nose dive story wise.
The Sims 4 of course, it has one of the best sim creators right now. I'd wait for a Pets expansion though, because that's the pack I always need to have when I play.
There is the whole thing with then playing as the sims, but if I remember right there is somewhere a place where you can only makes sims.
Spore is another good title. It's heavily oriented over customizing you cell, creature, and then final form. It does have just a Creature creator mode, and you can make vehicles too. If you played the game from beginning to end, you would have to play through every stage and with the fighting, not dying, etc.
can someone find me more earthbound-esque written games
basically: story-driven, really unique games (idrc about gameplay, as long as its not terribad)
and yes i know about undertale
