What are people looking for when they play JRPGs, especially anime-themed ones? It certainly can't be a traditional RPG experience, and most of the time can't even be quality story or characters.

What a strange way to start a tales thread but to answer your clearly bait question people do play jrpgs for all those things not everything has to be a hyper realism dnd simulator.
Camden White
titty & cunny

Anime kitsch for its own autistic sake. I also like scripts with extensive inter-party chatter that captures mundane moments alongside the "real" story and character content.
Show me a non anime RPG with as much casual fluff between party members and I'll play it, user. Hell, escaping the genre might lead to better writing. Bioware don't count because they're all extremely solipsistic in the way the whole cast orbits around the player character.

I'm looking for a lighthearted adventure in a colorful world.

I will literally play anything RPG related if it has a good aesthetic (graphical style, landscapes/backdrops that are interesting, good music), regardless of how it plays
Kayden Moore
Memorable aesthetic and setting, small cast of closely knit characters all getting some kind of arc, at least a little flashiness when it comes to combat and grinding can be fun when handled right.
I can't stand WRPGs because they almost always have the same setting and everything is ugly as sin and constantly looks caked in dirt, I wish there was some middle ground between realistic and fantasy but there never is with Western games.

I don't like role playing at all but I'm a big fan of "jrpgs". My favorite anime-themed ones include ys for the fast-paced action combat wherein I learn and exploit boss patterns, and fire emblem for the puzzle-like map design where I can calculate the most effective path through the game. In general I also like anime-style visuals as the general simplicity is effective in delivering information during fast-paced gameplay and the variety of colour looks pleasant. Sometimes jrpgs can be atmospheric and/or have invigorating music which adds to the experience.
Of course, these things aren't just limited to jrpgs but a lot of the games I like happen to fall into this category. If you guys can think of some non-jrpg games I should check out I'd appreciate that.

Anime-like gameplay. Still haven't found it.

This is anime's golden age though.

Ys 8 is basically a season of shonen anime. It's fun and dumb and I love it.
Julian Ward
I don't like shonen anime. Happen to know of any jrpgs that are more like shoujo manga?
Mason Reed
haha dude butts are so epic i am horny 24/7 aand want every piece of media i consume to revolve around butts and tits rather than just jerking off like a normal person

Your entire argument was compromised before it even started.

There's good anime out there despite most of it being schoolgirl titty garbage, there's good music out there despite most of it being pop garbage, there's good movies out there despite most of it being unnecessary remakes and capeshit garbage, there's good video games despite most of it being casual garbage. It seems really hard for some people to understand that every medium has much more interesting and passionately made projects than what sells the most and gets the most notoriety. You either just don't care enough to look or you don't understand how artistic mediums work.
Julian Thompson
I got a good one, buckshot to the temple

Anime is retarded because Japan is retarded. End of story.
Charles Powell
shut the fuck up
Aiden Watson
Fun.
Sometimes it comes in the form of good game play.
Sometimes it's a retarded but engaging story.
Sometimes it's cute girls.
Sometimes it's quality story and characters.

in order of importance
1. Battle system
2. Characters
3. Music
4. Story
5. Graphics
a good battle system can carry a game with mediocre characters and shit story like Tales of Graces per example
Andrew Lewis
Fun
Ethan Cooper
no you
Hudson Nelson
Fuck off retard. Go cry about anime of Neogaf.
Liam Roberts

I liked BoF4. It's not going to win any awards for originality story wise but you get to completely curb stomp your enemies as a physical god and in the japanese version a guy gets full on decapitated on screen.
Julian Richardson
I get the feel that Atelier games are pretty shoujo. Might be wrong because I haven't played them.
Nathaniel Torres
Miitopia was mostly just character fluff and battling, while neither was very deep it was at least charming, I'd recommend pirating or emulating to try it out, game drew me in for about 50 hours so I think it was worth it but it is a game I feel wouldn't appeal to most.
Its OST absolutely goes hard though.
Thomas Hernandez
Good story and gameplay.
