I'm surprised Sony doesn't have a first party AA/AAA level JRPG presently

don't forget nioh
if op is talking about turn-based command rpgs he should just say that
LOD sold over a million. Of course they were the home of JRPGs then and they are now. No point in investing in those i suppose
Even so, i'd love to see a new Wild Arms or Arc the lad or LOD personally, i love those franchises. Hell give me another Dark Cloud while your at it.

Sony is a western publisher and they don't really care much about the Japanese market, so it's not much of a surprise.

I won't mind a revival of an old JRPG IP from Sony, but I'd prefer something completely new.
Yeah, RPGs are pretty much the only thing I play, and even those needs to have sword-based combat. I like to try good games like Last of Us and Uncharted for the story, but their shooting-based gameplay keeps me out.

Seems that everything was fake.
It ain't Zelda.

Yeah, just so many choices right now.
Yeah, don't forget to add what is clearly not a JRPG, but a skill based action game to the list!
Jesus.

Danganronpa ain't no RPG though.
Sony doesn't have a first party studio capable of making a JRPG, and the genre doesn't sell well enough to justify it when that money would be better spent making Yet Another Cinematic Action Shooter.
A game that pretends to be an RPG without any of the things that make an RPG an RPG.

How many games do you expect in what isn't a huge genre anymore?

White Knight Chronicles was a treasure I won't take this slander
You exclusively play JRPGs?
Where there any games more successful this christmas than FFXV and Pokemon?
Yep. Same reason that PS4 is the default console for fighters. Whatever didn't come out on PS4, likely came out on the vita. and to a lesser extent, what doesn't come out on either will come out on 3DS. And everything else comes out on mobile. Its a symptom of MS having virtually no presence in the japanese market.

Its definetly a "true" RPG or whatever he means
It sure as shit ain't.
What are you trying to prove?
It's a very niche genre and compared to other years we seem to have an abundance of choice coming in 2017.
Did you get Sony confused with MS? They support PS4 Japanese games in Japan fine through SIEAJ

[QUOTE="D";228110872]True but that didn't stop them from dropping LOD back when JRPGs were in abundance. I know its a different climate financially and demand wise but I think even if they remade LOD or did a sequel, without risking bank on a brand new IP, it would do pretty good[/QUOTE]
Highly doubt any revived IP from yesteryear will do any good or be worth the time and effort and money. Really OP, it's pretty self-explanatory as to why Sony don't do it.

Persona 5 is better than anything Sony could possibly make so not really any point.

Pretty much every major publishing effort they make now is geared around the western market.
What games has Sony made recently that makes you think that putting out a AAA level JRPG is something that would fit in with their current profile?
Basically. Saying Sony don't care about Japanese games is insane. Regardless of how SIEA markets them

They made Oreshika a few years ago, that game was pretty good, and had high production values for a Vita game. Really beautiful art style, you could qualify it as AA. Otherwise yeah they haven't done much in that sphere in a while, but I'd say most of that is due to Vita not doing as well as they wanted. If Vita had double the install base you might've seen them invest a bit more in JRPG's for the platform.
As far as PS4 is concerned, I think they are happy to let other companies do that work for them. It's expensive to produce those sorts of games, and none of the franchises they own have the pull to really justify the development costs. I do wonder what JAPAN Studio is going to be up to now that GR2 is done. It's possible we could see an RPG project from them, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.
Edit: They are also funding other companies to make JRPGs for them, or funding the localization costs. Stuff like Ni No Kuni 2, Nier Automata, Yakuza, etc. They probably see that as more reliable than developing a JRPG internally.

Nintendo platforms & PC gaming would like to disagree with you on that.
Where did i ever say they were going to invest in JRPG's through first party studios again?
All i've been saying is that Sony DOES care about Japanese games and JRPGs, and it shows in their commitment to forging relationships with their partners that lean heavily towards those games, and helping them market as well.
I'm going to go against the popular sentiment in this thread and say if done right, a first party RPG could do great sales wise. There's so many damn consoles out there and big RPGs have been selling well. An exclusive that has a wide appeal theme and fun combat system could grab some players that don't like, or try much of the current offerings.
I meant like having members in your party, going to towns and dungeons, staying at an inn, finding equipment and learning skills, having quests and side quests, stuff like that.
To me stuff like Bloodborne and Dark Souls are Action RPGs

Isn't a Bloodborne sequel in development?

maybe not but they can partner with a studio that is capable to make one
as they did with bloodborne
People expecting Sony to shell out millions of dollars to make their own AAA jrpg, when in reality it's a risky business nowadays.
