"You’ve probably heard about NieR at some point, either from its incredible soundtrack or via some obscure “Top 10 Most Underrated Games” list. The game was originally released in 2010 on PS3 and Xbox 360, but was mostly met with mixed reviews from critics. It was a difficult time for Japanese developers then as many studios struggled with the transition to HD. This meant, like with many other “mediocre” reviewed J-RPGs at the time, that NieR would slip from the eye of the mainstream as quickly as it had arrived. Fortunately, however, the game managed to stay alive due to its music, which I’ve seen pop up regularly over the past couple of years. As a dedicated fan of the genre, as well as gaming music, curiosity lead to an online purchase in 2012, but it would still be 2 more years until I finally played it."
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Nier and Drakengard are two series that couldn't be more different in their setting and stories, but somehow they are still linked.
