What's the best anime game where it actually feels like you are going on an emotional journey through an artistic world?

smt digital devil saga, not your generic anime art though

Its so weird how anime has always been huge yet no one tried to make an actualy AAA game about them.

Back in the day, i would kill for some sort of open world Naruto RPG. Instead all we ever got were arena fighters and some low budget PS2 shit like OPs pic.

Overall I agree but FMA2 on Ps2 is actually really nice, its fully voiced and has nice levels and the mechanics are neat enough to carry the game
The overabundance of arena battlers does suck, I always wished for games to be bigger as a kid.
I wanted a pokemon game that spanned all the regions, a Zelda MMO
I salivated to get my first xBox 360 to play Elder Scrolls:Oblivion and it actually did blow my mind for about 60 hours but then the fun all dried up and now I really dislike open world games on principle

>>717542456 (OP)
These were surprisingly pretty decent. I still think a game with a similar alchemy mechanic would do wonders with modern tech.
For whatever reason I was stuck on this boss in the first one for a while.

>>717543291
That looks so sick I still need to play the first one

>>717543084
A zelda MMO would have been so fucking good 20 years ago

>>717543291
Broken Angel was a messy game in general.
IT'S NO USE

Games based on anime or movies are always fucked in terms of plot because they are not going to have any significant developments that would impact the show's world or characters.
You basically get a filler arc where nobody develops, nobody dies and nothing really matters. If there is anybody who actually does anything it will be a one-off insert character who feels like out of place fanfiction. Then they have all kinds of writing restrictions and guidelines they could get sued over on top of the usual stuff.
So they are basically doomed from the start.
Best thing you could do is have a completely unique cast set in the same world far away from the main story, but then it loses most of the purpose of baiting the shows fans.

>>717542802
There was a semi open world one on PS3 I believe

>>717544045
All that, and then the publisher just puts a cheap team on it, instead of any noteworthy one. Just a cheap cash grab to rake in on the license.
Basically, just about the same deal as most licensed games in the west. Same shit, different part of the globe.

>>717544045
Because the ones making all them anime is not the ones pocketing 99% of the money being made from anime. And the 1% that has their grabby paws on everything don't give af and probably is not even japanese so they hate anime.

>>717542802
The people that make the game know people will play it for the IP so they cut corners.

>>717542802
This one was great and had a genuinely fun sandbox area to play around in, also gliding over trees was fun. Back then I wished every anime like YYH or Bleach would receive the same treatment as this game.

>>717542456 (OP)
I beat this whole thing 19 years ago just once and remember nothing about it other than Ed being able to make canons

kino angel was a good game

Ni No Kuni II

I love broken angel, it's still a mess.
Very stiff-feeling dodge and if you wanted to play seriously (going for armstrong/roy's items) you would need to load up on reloader items. The game is already somewhat item-hungry.
Even with cheated stats (the kind that would take multiple playthroughs to farm bonus stat points for) the roy/armstrong fight would take well over 10 minutes, on top of them still being able to combo you to death pretty easily.
Crimson Elixir is the better game mechanically, it feels way more polished than Broken Angel does. Unfortunately the only superbosses are Scar and technically Armstrong, so going for ranks is about all you can do.
Both of them are still decent to come back and play once in a blue moon, or even a casual playthrough. The superbosses are a bit of a meme to actually fight legitimately, but I guess repeatedly shelling mustang is satisfying in a way.

FMA 2003 was so good I was even able to make people who've never seen anime watch it and enjoy it. BUT that ending is such dogshit.
Also it was made by the same guy who did that needlessly depressing Super Sentai series so it kind of devolved into a misery circlejerk after a while. Still fun.

I still like it more than the canon ending final act outside the endings characters got. Scrub the "lol I became god lmao" shit out and the series goes from an 8 .5 to a 10. Also drop the two chinese randos.

Ubisoft has you covered https://youtu.be/iWGSxoPSL2g?si=9cyA42pXSS2-wwsJ

Wait what Inoue wrote FMA???

>>717542456 (OP)
>emotional journey through an artistic world?
There's literally only one

>>717542456 (OP)
Any game from the Tales of series, my personal recommendation is Tales of the Abyss.

>>717549379
Why does everyone hate the ending to 2003? It has a bittersweet, flawed conclusion that fits the tone of the show perfectly. The nature of the "twist" doesn't have any impact on the plot whatsoever. It just gives a semi-interesting explanation for part of the setting, but it doesn't shit up any character arcs or anything like that. I've never understood this, and think that that antagonist, while somewhat generic, is still far more compelling and less generic than the manga's/Brotherhood's.

>>717554323
>it doesn't shit up any character arcs or anything like that.
Problem is, the TV series had a "sort of" ending and the film conclusion actually did fuck up a lot of characters, most notably Mustang.
I still stand by the fact that if the series had ended with Ed sacrificing Dante in exchange for their bodies (minus like one arm or something, equivalent exchange is BS yada yada) it would have been a ten out of ten anime.

>>717547781
correct

Doesn't matter. Conqueror of Shamballa vindicates it with pure 1940s Germany kino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKfflUIltU8

>>717542802
gonna sound like a massive tard here but kinda wished there was a decent tokyo ghoul game in a similar vain quality wise to say the attack on titan. with at least different stories that follow the same beats but shifts and shakes things up and around. Kinda like how infected mode existed for resistance clear skies

It's that made in abyss game where you vomit constantly

unironically pic related

>>717542456 (OP)
That game sucked, but I played through all of it because I love FMA.
I don't remember much about it though.

>>717557286
I wish I could play this for the first time again. what a wild ride. I never do replays especially right after finishing the game, but this got me to do just that for the story.

>>717542598
I miss the threads for this. Is the color version fully translated and fixed?

>>717559434
You can still make one and it's likely to reach limit bump. When people talk about 7SU, they are compelled to install it and play it

>>717542456 (OP)
If 13 year old characters in a cartoon crying and screaming all their dialogue makes you "emotional" there's either something wrong with you, or you're an easily manipulated teenager.
