I'm only so much 'in the know' about some more or less over a decade old JRPG titles (Suikoden, Lunar, and Phantasy Star come to mind), but after months of tinkering with Skyrim, I'm in the mood for the more Japonesque side of RPG gaming.

The first title that came to mind was Disgaea 2. I've beaten both parts 1 and 2 of the PS2. I bought the PSP remake of part 1 a while back, and now I want to...download the remake of part 2 (Let's face it. If you own a PSP, hacking it is THEE best thing about it considering how ridiculously easy it is to do.). I also bought part 4 for PS3, and it's the likely one of the series I'd sit down with for the longest time, though I've spent far more time on the original versions of 1 and 2.

I'm honestly up for almost any JRPG. There's a particular website out there run by a very resourceful and prolific person, and its most prominent highlight is its stores of PSP games, many of which they've included their DLC with, as well as English translations for highly esteemed or otherwise deemed interesting Japan-only titles.

I'm not hugely 'educated' on the internet's various strains of seething hatred (lol~), but I'm hardly representative of whatever "factors of the week" designate someone as a, quote, "weeaboo". It's more that I'm just in the mood for more so "bright and colorful" or however "vibrant" RPGs than their western counterparts, though I'm not as biased towards any one genre of game based on things as trivial as color palettes, lol (I've spent half my life enjoying "the great outdoors", so I don't have some ingrained hatred for "gray" and "brown" coloration coupled with concessions made for the very same colors if there's any "cuteness" to behold, lol...).

Overall, it's that I want a couple of "time sinks". I love the standardized RPG tropes where one or more adventurous types explore vast lands either largely in a story told, or on more broad, however more or less casual terms. Being the realist that I am, I don't view these sorts of things as "generic" nor "bland", though they're widely standardized. That'd be like taking two different books by two different authors, and deeming them identical just because they share similar themes - a shallow and "generic" outlook, lol.
