Forums - Sony Discussion - What are some good JRPGs for the PS Vita?

So the Vita is becoming a very solid platform for JRPGs, but I want to know the community's thoughts on the ones to buy. 

Here are some of the ones I have.

-P4G
-Ys Memories of Celeste
- Gravity Rush 
- Murumasa
-Dragon's Crown

* I know some of them are not JRPGs, but japanese centric. 

Also not interested in Soul Sacrifice (gameplay wasn't for me), Ragnarok Odyssey (no interesting story/side characters), Tales of Hearts R (not supporting this because of no English dub). 

Are there any other JRPGs I would like that have a story of some kind, addicting gameplay (een turn based is okay) , and an English dub. Just wanted to include some parameters, so it's not that general. Thanks!

I second this thread. Would like to know if there is any I have missed



Demons gaze (turn based, slightly weird)
Atelier series if you like crafting
Sourcery saga: Curse of the great curry god (hilarious, rogue like)
Disgaea

And then not really a JRPG but a very nice game is Valkyria Chronicles 2



Ah yeah, as someone else said, dangan ronpa! Fantastic and crazy game :)

This is quite possibly the worst reason I've read for not being interested in this game.

Out of all the ones I own I'd say the good ones are:

 

  • Persona 4 Golden (God tier)
  • Ys: Memories of Celceta (Fantastic)
  • Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 (Hilarious)
  • Demon Gaze
  • Final Fantasy X/X-2
  • Disgaea 3
  • Disgaea 4

 

Other Jrpg's that I have but consider "meh" would be:

 

  • Mind Zero
  • Conception 2
  • Sorcery Saga
  • Dragon Fantasy 1/2 (PSN game)

 

As for Japanese centric games, I'd say these are good:

 

  • Soul Sacrifice Delta
  • Toukiden
  • Dragon's Crown
  • DanganRonpa 1/2 (God Tier)
  • Akiba's Trip
  • Muramasa Rebirth
  • Sword Art Online

It might be, but it's sad how in 2014 while nearly every Tales game that has come to NA they all had English dub. Why should I support a game like this that has nearly always had the option for English dub? It's just a lazy port job; therefore I'm not supporting it. Take it how you may. 

Edit: while probably not all of them have had the dubbed treatment, for the most part they have when localized.

They all had a dub and we missed mroe than half of the released Tales games. I would hope a fan of the series would appreciate more Tales because they're able to decrease the cost of localization by not adding a completely unneccessary option (in that you don't need the dub in order to play the game and understand what's happening).

Thanks BlowoverKing exactly what I was looking for :)

Also is that Sword Art Online, like an MMO? Is it like an Online game?

I know I'm not completely alone on this, but I don't see how English dub is "completely unneccessary," when it has been a standard for a few years in Tales games. So you would be completely okay if they axed English voice acting in future Tales games for PS3, or PS4 as long as it saves them money? 

It's not about appreciation... I want and expect more as a consumer, especially when it comes to wanting English voice acting.... Having the option for English voice acting should be a standard in 2014, but that's just me I guess.
