Let's make something clear. Japanese RPGs are not dead. They have never been dead. They will not be dead any time soon.

让我澄清一些事情。日式RPG（role -playing game,角色扮演类游戏）并没有死去。他们永远都不会死去。

I've written about this subject before, but every day it seems like there's a new screed, a new attention-grabbing editorial or essay. "Are JRPGs Obsolete?" "Do JRPGs No Longer Matter?" "Has The Age Of JRPGs Passed?" No. Shut up. "Will Xenoblade Revitalize The Japanese RPG?" "Will Ni no Kuni Revitalize The Japanese RPG?" "Will Persona Revitalize The Japanese RPG?" No. Nothing needs revitalizing. Shut up.

之前我已经写过关于这个主题的文章，但是每天它看起来都像一篇新的冗长的文章，一篇新的吸引人眼球的社论或者散文。“日式RPG被抛弃了吗？"”日式RPG不再重要吗？“”日式RPG过时了吗？“不，闭嘴。"”异度之刃会重振日式RPG吗？“

”双重国度会重振日式RPG吗？“”女神异闻录会重振日式RPG吗？“不，没什么是需要重振的。请闭嘴。

Allow me to prove my point. I've put together a list of ten JRPGs—all modern, all different, all excellent, all worth playing today. They represent every major console, Wii U aside, and they were all released within the past five years. All ten are worth your time.

请允许我证明我的观点。我已经把所有现代的，所有不同的，所有优秀的，所有今天值得一玩的十款游戏拼成了一张列表。他们代表了所有主机，Wii u除外.他们都在过去五年内公布。这十款游戏值得你花费时间

Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)

迷失奥德赛（XBOX360)


Worth playing if only for the dreams—fantastic short stories that you'll see intermittently as you play—Lost Odyssey is a long, sprawling fantasy game designed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of Final Fantasy. Released back before Japan abandoned all hope on the Xbox 360, this is the best JRPG you can get on Microsoft's console.

当你在玩这款值得一玩的游戏的时候，你会间歇性的仿佛看到了梦幻般精彩的短篇小说-迷失的奥德赛是一款由幻想之父坂口博信设计的长篇的，庞大的幻想游戏。这款游戏发布之前，日本已经完全放弃了对XBOX360的希望，这款游戏是你能在微软的控制器上玩到的最棒的日式RPG。

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (PSP）

英雄传说：空之轨迹（PSP）

Otherwise known as The RPG Jason Won't Shut Up About, Trails in the Sky is a long and sprawling PSP adventure that captures everything there is to love about JRPGs: it's charming, funny, and chock full of great music, even if it can sometimes feel a little slow.

即使出名如RPG设计师贾森恩格尔也对空之轨迹赞不绝口。空之轨迹是一款（剧情）长而（设定）庞大的PSP冒险游戏，它俘获了所有热爱日式RPG玩家的心：它是迷人的，有趣的，并且充满了伟大的音乐，即使有时候会觉得（剧情进展）有点慢

Ni no Kuni (PS3)
女神异闻录（PS3）

Allow me to quote my recent review: "Whimsical, charming, beautiful, fascinating, smart, pleasant, challenging, slow-paced, grand, surreal, and aggressively colorful... it's a fantastic Japanese role-playing game, one that will stun your senses and break your heart in the best possible way."

请允许我引用我最近的观点：”异想天开的，迷人的，美丽的，奇妙的，漂亮的，令人愉悦的，充满挑战性的，慢节奏的，宏伟的，超现实的，五彩斑斓的。这是一款令人着迷的日式角色扮演游戏，它（这款游戏）将会眩晕你的感官，用尽可能最好的方式敲打你的心灵。

Radiant Historia (DS)

光辉物语（NDS）

Almost a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, Radiant Historia captures the glory of a classic Super Nintendo RPG and throws in some modern conveniences: you can fast forward through dialogue, for example, and see random enemies before they get all up in your battle screen. Kidnapped
princesses, time travel, giant suits of armor: this one's got all the fixings of an old-school RPG.

几乎成为了超时空之轮的精神继承者，光辉物语抓住了任天堂经典RPG的荣耀并且增加了一些现代便利手段：你可以对对话进行快进，例如，在随机敌人跳入你的战斗画面之前看见他们。被绑架的公主，时间旅行，巨大的盔甲：这里面拥有所有老式RPG游戏的一切内容。

Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS)

火焰纹章：觉醒（3DS）

As Stephen Totilo has pointed out, this game is reason alone to get your hands on a 3DS. Sort of like a chess game on crack, Fire Emblem tasks you with strategizing and scheming across big battlefields, leveling up your characters, and trying to figure out which people will make the best babies.

正如Stephen Totilo（KOTAKU网站总编辑）所指出的那样，这款游戏是你将手放在3DS上的唯一原因。这款游戏就像一幅破裂的西洋棋，火焰纹章的任务谋略和策划整个大战场，提升你的角色，并试图找出哪些人做出了最好的角色。

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

马里奥与路易基3

Few games are as smart and quirky as Nintendo's Mario-helmed RPGs, andBowser's Inside Story, released for the DS back in 2009, is proof of that. You spend most of the game inside Bowser's body. If that's not enough to convince you to play it, I don't know what is.

很少有游戏像09年为DC发行的马里奥那样出乎意料，别出心裁 。你在这款游戏花费了很多时间
如果这还不住够说服你玩，那我就不知道什么游戏能让你玩了。

Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)

战场女武神（PS3）

Proof that JRPG designers aren't afraid to experiment, Valkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game set in a 1930s version of Europe, in which you move soldiers around a battlefield in what can be best described as a cross between real-time and turn-based battling, XCOM-style. This one is lovely, and not to be missed—even if Sega never will bring over the third one.

这款游戏证明了日式RPG游戏设计师并不害怕实验，战场女武神是一款设定在20世纪30年代的战略类角色扮演游戏，你在其中扮演行走在战场上的军人，这款游戏最好的诠释了穿越在即时和回合战斗类型之间的XCOM风格类游戏。这款游戏是不应该错过的，即使世嘉可能不会带来第三款

The World Ends With You (DS)

美妙世界（DS）

For a while I didn't think I would enjoy The World Ends With You, a Square Enix-helmed RPG that takes place in a twisted version of Tokyo, Japan. But there's something really appealing about the evolution of grumpy protagonist Neku from misanthrope to hero, and the battle system feels very good, especially on iOS

.有一段时间我没想到我会喜欢美妙世界，一款 Square Enix公司主打的，发生在扭曲过的日本东京的RPG游戏。但是真正有吸引的是脾气暴躁的主角NEKU从遁世者进化到英雄的故事，而且战斗系统非常棒，尤其是在IOS上

The Last Story (Wii)

最后的故事

One of the best JRPGs this generation, The Last Story is only held back by its inferior hardware. This is a game meant to be seen in high-definition, but it's chained to the Wii, a console that can't output HD. Still, The Last Story is a lovely little love story with a really cool battling system that almost feels like a fantasy version of Gears of War.

这代人最好的一部日式RPG游戏，最后的故事唯一的阻碍就是劣质的硬件，这款游戏可以是高清画质的，但是它所搭配的Wii平台却不能输出高清画质。不过，最后的故事是一个拥有非常酷的战斗系统的可爱的小爱情故事，它给人的感觉就像是一个幻想版本的战争机器。

Persona 4 Golden (Vita)

女神异闻录4黄金版（Vita)

Every day's great at your Junes. It's hard to find someone who doesn't love Persona 4, the RPG-slash-high school simulator that has you taking tests in the morning and fighting demons in the afternoon. Playing it on the Vita means playing it wherever you want, so for anyone without the bandwidth to sit in front of a TV for 60+ hours

在你的六月中每一天都是伟大的。很难发现不喜欢女人异闻录的人，这款RPG游戏设定在一所高中，上午的时候你还正在进行测试，下午你就同魔族进行战斗。在VITA上玩这款游戏意味着只要你想，你就能随时随地玩到它，所以任何人都不需要再在电视机面前坐上60几个小时。

Ten wildly different JRPGs, all great in wildly different ways. If you've played them all and you still think the JRPG is dead, or dying, or obsolete, or antiquated, or irrelevant, or afraid of change... well then you're just fooling yourself.

十款完全不同的日式RPG游戏，它们以不同的方式呈现出自己的伟大。如果你玩过它们仍然认为日式RPG死去了，或者垂死挣扎，或者被抛弃，或者过时的，陈旧的，害怕改变的，那就是你自己在糊弄自己

fuck yeah lost odyssey. my favourite jrpg since FFXII. The voice acting is SO GOO

迷失之奥德赛去死吧。我最喜欢的是日式RPG是最终幻想12。它的声音和动作非常棒！

thebluick744
Lost Odyssey is the best final fantasy game of this generation... and it actually feels like a Final Fantasy game, which XIII did no

迷失之奥德赛是是这一代最好的最终幻想游戏，实际上它才感觉像最终幻想游戏，而不是最终幻想12

ason Schreier
I didn't love Xenoblade, but the fact that people are bringing up that game - and Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time, and Tales of Graces F, and Dragon Quest IX, and many of the other great modern JRPGs that didn't make this list - helps proves my point

.我并不喜欢异度之刃，但是事实是人们引进了这款游戏-《梦幻骑士4：时间旅人》，《圣恩传说F》《勇者斗恶龙9》。还有许多其他的伟大的现代日式RPG没有出现在这张清单上。（请你们）帮助证明我的观点

Lack of Growlanser IV makes me a sad panda.

缺少梦幻骑士4让我哭成了熊猫

Megatron1131
I plan to play all of these at one point except for Lost Odyssey. I've already started the Last Story. Persona 4G will be my next Vita game purchase.

我打算玩所有的这些游戏，一度失落的奥德赛除外。我已经玩到了最后一关。战场女武神4黄金版会是我下一个购买的VITA游戏

raindog42
nothing that can be played on the PC eh?

没有一款电脑上的游戏吗？

I would say Tales of Vesperia is the best JRPG out for Xbox 360

我会告诉你薄暮传说是XBOX360上最好的日式RPG吗？

Hadrian Mosley
I can certainly agree with Radiant Historia, Fire Emblem, Last Story & Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The rest I wasn't into that much. Xenoblade should be in there.

我能完全同意的是光辉物语，火焰纹章，最后的故事，马里奥与路易基3.剩下的我不是非常同意。异度之刃应该出现在这张列表上

CrispyLardon and 2 more Reply
I think Xenoblade Chronicles should take the place of Persona 4 on this list since it is a new game.
However, Persona 4 is amazing

我认为异度之刃应该取代战场女武神4，因为它是一款新游戏
然后战场女武神4是令人惊讶的

Shiryu and 13 more Reply
I am confused, you mention "Xenoblade Chronicles" on the topic but then don't place it in the top 10? It's probably my favourite game ever

我很困惑，你在主题中提到了“异度之刃，但是却没有将其提名上TOP 10?这也许是我曾经最喜欢的游戏

Nicholas Payne
Right now I have the equipment to play 4 of these games
If I were home, I'd be able to play an additional 2.

现在我有可以玩（名单中）四款游戏的装备
如果我在家，我会在额外增加两款游戏。

I reaaaalllly want to play some of these games, like Persona 4 Golden, but I am not going to buy a Vita just for that game.
My likely-to-play platforms:
PC, iOS, Xbox 360, Android, PS3
Japan's likely-to-have-good-games platforms:
DS, PSP, Wii, 3DS, PS3, Vita

我真的真的非常想玩其中一些游戏，比如战场女武神4黄金版，但是我不会仅仅为了这一款游戏而购买VITA
我最喜欢的平台：
PC,IOS,XBOX360，安卓，PS3
日本可能有良好的游戏平台：
DS,PSP,WII，3DS，PS3，VITA

I refuse to accept a list that does not include Nier.

我拒绝接受不包含Nier的游戏清单

YEAAAAAAH!!! You're talking about Blue Dragon Plus right? Right?? THAT GAME WAS AWESOME!!!
I'm kidding of course.

YEAAAAAAH!!你是在谈论蓝龙2吗？是吗？这是非常棒的游戏！！1
当然，我是在开玩笑

Samakar
Ni No Kuni has completely stolen my heart. I never want this game to end! It's so wonderful!

女神异闻录完全偷走了我的心。我不想让这款游戏结束！它太棒了！！

theinfinitegoof
I'm with you. Xenoblade was one of the best games I've played in the past few years.

我同意你。异度之刃是我过去十年里玩过的最棒的游戏之一

So what you're saying is that I need to buy a DS.

所以照你所说，我需要买一台DS。

daydreamsurfer
SMT!! Also, Pokemon?! It's my LIFE.

聪明的！！没有口袋妖怪？！那是我的菜

Are Mario And Luigi or Fire Emblem really JRPGs? Fire Emblem is more of a turn-based strategy with RPG elements, like XCOM, and M&L is an RPG but doesn't really have any of the JRPG trappings

马里奥和路易基或者火焰纹章真的是日式RPG？火焰纹章更多的是即时战略类的RPG游戏，比如XCOM，和M＆L是RPG游戏，但并不是真正拥有任何日式RPG标记

omgvinniejones
I haven't played all the games in this list but the fact that I don't see Xenoblade makes me question its credibility...

我并没有完全玩过这张清单上的游戏，但是我没在这张清单上看到异度之刃让我对这张清单的可信性产生了怀疑。。

薄暮传说是XBOX360上最好的日式RPG

Ni no Kuni (PS3)
女神异闻录（PS3）

这谁翻译的？。。。。

竟然没有异度之刃``

Ni no Kuni (PS3)
女神异闻录（PS3）

英语不行，日语不行，对游戏也缺乏应有的了解
就这种水平还翻译这么长的文章？

。。。。最近在玩弧光幻想曲。。。。。。。。。游戏体验上有点偷懒，都用图片代替

整体还不错，剧情前面傻逼十足到  1/3有逆转翻盘，现在感觉编号了

标题改成某个老外比较合适。

尤其是在IOS上……

光辉物语怎么没玩过魂淡

XB秒小胡子10条街

Ni no Kuni不是2B国吗
