Hi, I'm looking for a typical Japanese RPG for my PS3, but I dont know which 1 I should buy. I don't rly like turn-based combat systems so I prefer an rpg that doesnt have that. I also want it to have nice graphics and a great and interesting story line. So does any1 know an rpg that meets these criteria? THen plz let me know.

Tnx in Advance ;)

Cheers.

Well, Valkyria Chronicles is far from a typical JRPG, as it's techincally an SRPG with real-time elements, but you should definitely look into it either way. Gorgeous to look at, great story, and fun to play. Plenty of hours of game time aswell.

If wanna have fun playing an RPG for over 300 hours then you can't go wrong with Disgaea 3.

Everything you just described leads me to think you're not really looking for a JRPG.

Yes Eternal Sonata is the closest thing you'll find to JRPG on the PS3 right now. And you can try Demon's Souls (WRPG) and Valkyria Chronicles (SRPG) for the next closest things to JRPGs.

valkyria chronicles is a japanese-made strategy rpg. its partially turn based and partially action based. its the only jrpg ive played so far (havent played eternal sonata, though i hear its pretty good) on the ps3 that id recommend playing. of course, tales of vesperia and white knight chronicles are coming soon and they will surely be quality jrpg's that are more in line with what you are looking for.

I think you'll enjoy White Knight Chronicles. Good graphics, good storyline, not turn-based, and even customization options.

valkyria chronicles , its kind of turn based but you have to move like in a 3rd person shooter to allign the characters and then switch ino turn based action , thats's the only one i know of and i been looking for such game as well.

otherwise i guess we need to wait for the final fantasies on ps3

any game that makes you PAY for hardmode deserves to be dumped in the gutter for people to P*** on IMO.

Thats Hard EX Mode. The game already had Easy, Normal, and Hard mode on it. And hard mode was hard enough with troops easily taking on your best allies.

EX Mode is just insane, Even with maxed out characters and weapons I can't do much damage without putting to use the Ruhl weapon that you get from the Downloaded Selvaria mission.
