And since some people seem to be doubting my Japanese gaming "street cred", here is a full listing of the JP games I have played at least some of since the start of last gen across all platforms, in backwards Chronological order using my profiles:

  • Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet
  • DragonBall FighterZ (played it some on PS4 at launch, which is why I didn't play it on Gamepass)
  • Monster Hunter World (put about 8 hours into it and didn't like it, which is why I still haven't touched MH Rise on Gamepass)
  • Sonic Forces
  • Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash
  • Crimson Dragon Side Story (yes, I loved this game so much I even bought the Windows Phone version of it in the hopes Xbox would develop future Crimson Dragon games with Grounding Inc., to no avail)

I won't lie and say it's a huge list for 9 years of gaming, especially since a fair few of them were left unfinished since I either didn't like them very much or had time constraints which prevented me from finishing some of them during rental periods and such. My budget and the lack of deep discounts from many JP publishers limits me and has prevented me from playing some that do interest me, while lack of Xbox ports has also held me back some in recent years since I moved back to Xbox from PS4 Pro as my primary console thanks to Series X. Just saying don't doubt that someone cares about JP games simply because they haven't played Persona 5
