The launch of Fairy Tail 2 has created a buzz in the gaming community, particularly for fans of the anime and manga realms. This remarkable follow-up to an often-overlooked turn-based JRPG illustrates the potential for anime adaptations within the role-playing game genre. As we eagerly anticipate further developments, let us explore which anime series could successfully transition into the next big RPG.
In recent years, the landscape of modern anime JRPGs has included notable titles such as Fairy Tail 2, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and One Piece Odyssey. However, this trend deserves to flourish with more adaptations. The prevalence of fighting games based on anime characters has become somewhat tiresome. Instead, we present the Siliconera team’s suggestions for promising candidates for future anime RPGs.
Siliconera’s Takes: Desired Anime RPG Adaptations
One intriguing idea for a future anime RPG is Jujutsu Kaisen. While Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is indeed a fitting choice for a fighting game, many series, including Inuyasha, Bleach, and Naruto, have thrived in RPG formats. It would be fantastic to see Jujutsu Kaisen receive the same treatment. — Jenni
From my perspective, a traditional turn-based RPG presents an ideal framework for most anime stories. A JRPG adaptation of Dr. Stone could offer a unique twist, blending post-apocalyptic themes with elements of fantasy. Crafting mechanics could play a significant role, enabling players to innovate solutions and aid in rebuilding society. Additionally, the game’s roster of characters could be extensive, allowing for diverse party compositions during battles. Alternatives for modern RPG adaptations could include Sailor Moon, Hunter x Hunter, or Eighty-Six, envisioned as a strategy RPG. — Cody
