Has there been an educational JRPG? Somebody looking to play a JRPG is probably settled in for a lot of dialogue and paying attention anyway, so it seems like a good way to convey historical events if you can make it as good as a real JRPG.

Not exactly educational, but there was a NES JRPG based on romance of the three kingdoms called Destiny of an emperor. And while I really can't remember the name... I know there was this silly japanese exclusive JRPG where you were a tiny little girl and it was mostly designed as a sorta "babys first Jrpg"... Especially with minimal text.

I really can't remember the name of that one, but I know it's not exactly the same thing.

Sony make plenty of historically accurate games already.

I learned a lot of geography from Front Mission 3.

Been watching a lot of For Honor videos, and I now really want a hand to hand combat version of this, with multiple styles and disciplines. Same sort of timing and direction based combat, with balanced classes and martial arts, seems like it would be really fun.

Something similar is coming out sometime in the future, think it's called Judgement or something like that, looked very nice at the E3 presentation last year.

Edit: That's not the name and I can't remember it right now, I'll try and find it.

Edit.2: It's called Absolver, I knew it was something related to passing judgment or getting rid of it, anyways, here's the gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8SLCeMxrfc

Looks cool, thanks!

A geolocational Pokemon game.

...

I know what you're thinking, but Pokemon Go is not that. Pokemon Go is Ingress with a pokemon skin. Get random crappy collectables, go to points, hit them with your crap until it changes color to match your crap. Grind for 32 exponentially-long levels of crap. Pay extreme prices for rapidly-depleting resources so you can get crap. Don't interact with other players unless you accidentally bump into them while trying to take a point. Be irrelevant to anyone two levels above you, be overwhelming to anyone two levels below you, and never meet anyone within three levels of you whatsoever.

It's all so boring.

Just shift it around a bit and make it so that it's literally just a pokemon game. Wander around and battle wild monsters. Instead of getting power from diabetes, have your pokesters get experience from fighting. Instead of having the PC level up, the PC is the static background dude who gives orders. Have a turn-based battle system that makes lag irrelevant.

I mean jesus christ they went out of their way to make it way worse than it had to be. What goes on in Nianic?

They saw an opportunity to copy paste an entire game and just add pokemon.

Why would you not do that from their standpoint.

Because you don't fucking suck.

I'm sure Scrooge mcduck feels bad about having so little money compared to them.

An adventure/puzzle game that teaches a foreign language. Riven teaches an entirely invented number system!

I wonder what the plot to that would be?

You're an exchange student (actually that sounds like a crap plot since that happens all the time; would need some changes to be interesting)?

You play as a child/youth separated from their parents when on vacation?

[Twinwolf]

I think there's like, an RPG Maker game that teaches Japanese? I've heard about something like that at least.
