The game released on vita,  ps4,  ps3 and pc and developed by Bandai Namco.  

 

Steamspy estimates the game has sold 72,000 on pc so that's a lot of sales on Playstation! It's done well. 

 

The sales breakdown, shows just how important the Asian region is becoming (outside of Japan) 

Japan – 380,000
Asia – 200,000
North America – 100,000
Europe – 320,000 (Big in France)

I've got a question or two if someone wouldn't mind answering :) 

i have a couple ps4's and I see a lot of games on the store similar to this Japanese / Asian (excuse my ignorance on who develops them)

i wouldn't mind trying some but I am not familiar with them.   Most game sites seem to either ignore their release or don't know the ps4 has quite a few of these games available.  If I see them mentioned it's a rarity and if mentioned in comment sections of a lot of sites they're immediately dismissed as not important in the great console wars debate.

 

1. Are they English translated?  When I see commenters dismiss them it's always as "those are Japanese games" which I find strange.  Are they not translated?  I mean if they're translated what does the fact they're made in Japan matter?  I don't look up where a game is made so it is odd to me.  If they're on N American PSN I mean   

2 I'd like to try an rpg.  I really like strong story games as well coming from a text adventure/ PC adventure game background.  I like gameplay as well, I just figure that's a given before someone jumps on me because I like a game to have a story.

3. Is the sword art online series an rpg?  I see it on sale among others right now.

4. Is this game similar to dynasty warriors?  I've seen a couple gameplay cuts and it appears to be.

Thanks for help in advance.  Every time I hit the stick left and click on the PSN store I feel like I'm missing out on game opportunities.   I just find it odd they're mostly ignored on a lot of game sites.

background:

I come from Commodore 64/vic20/intellivision when younger.  The NES was my last console for a long time.  In between I played adventure games on PC (I miss Sierra )

I didn't buy a console again until the 360.   My wife gave me a PS3 but it was late in its life.  So I don't have the back history of these types of games or familiarity with past PlayStation consoles.
