Groundbreaking JRPG...
You know it would be nice if somebody created a new JRPG that borrows some elements from a western RPG. You see in a JRPG you get to watch the romance subplot no matter what but in a western RPG you don't have to watch a romance subplot if you don't want to.
Also in a western RPG you get multiple choice romance subplots but in a JRPG you only get one romance subplot. It would be really nice if somebody created a JRPG with optional multiple choice romance subplots someday.
Why not just play a western RPG?
As far as relationships go, I'm pretty sure there are a fair few that already allow this sort of thing. Dragon Quest V comes to mind.
Maybe he likes the JRPG battle system etc. more than western RPGs?Originally Posted by Karellen
Well I like western RPGs but most western RPGs are exclusive to the PC and I like playing games on a console. Also I've never played Dragon Quest V before...maybe if Square Enix re-releases DQV on the DS I'll buy it.

I'm sure there are a few already existing examples, but I'm not exactly an RPG connoisseur. Last Remnant looks like the next upcoming thing to be like what you're looking for (something aimed at both Westerners and Japanese RPGers). And it's from Square-Enix. While I don't know too much about it, might want to look into White Knight Chronicles as well. White Knight is gonna be for PS3, Last Remnant is gonna be for both 360 and PS3.
Persona 3 has multiple romance subplots. Probably one of the cleanest dating games you can find.
I'm definitely getting The Last Remnant but I think I'll pass on White Knight Chronicles because I don't own a PS3 and I don't plan on buying one anytime soon.
I know what you mean, John_912. It would be great if Japanese developers could work on the gameplay of the story and Western developers could work on the story behind the gameplay.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I wonder why nobody ever thought about this before...
Go check out Fable or KOTOR.
I already played those games and I have a Xbox 360 now so I can't play the original KOTOR or the original Fable on it.

A good game is a good game. I don't really care what kind of regional styles are employed, as long as it keeps my attention.
DQV actually is being re-released for the DS, along with IV and VI. I'm not sure if any of them are done yet, I think IV is. As far as if they'll be released in the states, that's up in the air, as we have yet to get release dates for Final Fantasy IV and Tactics A2.
I won't hold my breath for Dragon Quest V.
It amuses me that this is said about a Shin Megami Tensei game, one in which you shoot yourself in the head to unlock secret powers no less.
Go play an MMo and fall in love with a real human being. Or try Star Ocean 3.
you're probably right.I won't hold my breath for Dragon Quest V.
