Oriental Blue: Ao no Tengai (2003)

Genres:Role-playing (RPG)
Themes:Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Oriental Blue is an RPG from the Far East of Eden series. It has a unique magic system and different pathways the story can take depending on in-game choices. The game continues the tradition of the series. You play as either Tenran or Aoi, a teenage boy and girl, respectively, on quest to defeat the ancient evil that threatens the prosperous land of Jipang, to prove themselves worthy of the legendary Fire Clan, warriors who have been protecting Jipang for many generations from evil demons and warlocks. The land Jipang is very similar to medieval Japan, and during your adventure you'll also visit Mongolia, China, and other Asian countries. The most important new feature of the game is a non-linear storyline. You can tackle many missions in any order you want, and the storyline also changes depending on the outcome of major battles. If you lose against a boss enemy, the game is not over, but instead, a branching storyline path is revealed. Otherwise, the gameplay is similar to other Far East of Eden games, featuring overworld map traveling and first person perspective, turn-based combat.Show more

This game was a reimagining of the best aspects of the structure of Dragon Quest 1 or 3. You can really just wander around and find things at your leisure, with genuinely useful NPC dialogue telling you all about the various places to go and things to do. There's some requirements of needing X to do Y, but it's all very organic. You really can just find your own way around, and you get rewarded pretty well for doing so. Possibly the one of if not the best Japanese style RPG, depending on what you prioritize. It is, as far as I know, the best/most advanced/most modern in it's own forgotten class of game. Completely classic. If you like Dragon Quest, especially 1 or the midgame of 3, this is the game you want to play.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
