Gaming Japanese games, english playable

[zone97]

What Japanese games are out there that can be played with having to know how to read/understand Japanese. I prefer RPG/adventure games that have realtime fighting. I can not stand turn baised fighting systems.

Thanks.

Try Goemon. It's a fun action RPG

You could also go for Seiken Densetsu: Children of Mana which is out now in JP but, an English version will be out in October.

There's also MAR (Marchen Awakens Romance):

That's all I can think off the the top of my head just now.

Densetsu no Starfi 4 is a pretty fun platformer. But if u looking for that realtime RPG, then Goemon is your best bet. Plus there are tons of faqs around if you get stuck

When I saw "Marchen", I thought it might be a new Cotton game...

Daigasso band brothers is pretty playable (i still have to game faqs the different game options to figure out what they mean tho)

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan also is playable after some trial and error (spin the wheel fast enuff to get past that part)

both are rythym games.
