Help Me Find a JRPG!

You really want Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii then.

You have listed a lot of things that are in almost every JRPG.

Wow.... thats... a pretty extensive list that covers quite a ton of all JRPGs :P

It sounds like you want a JRPG that isn't a JRPG, that's going to be tricky.

If you want turn-based RPG then try the Shadowrun games. They're technically very basic and linear, but I had a lot of fun playing through them.

tales of Zestiria might work other then the save issue I think while health doesn't rest also it is a bit easyer to get it back in some ways I am not sure

You should try Chrono Cross for PSX.

Ys games.

If you never played The World Ends With You (NDS), try to get it somehow. It's probably the most interesting JRPG of these last 10 years. It tries a lot of different new things and they work great.

Chrono Trigger for SNES or Playstation One. But, as forementioned sequel Chrono Cross, it wouldn't allow you to save at any time. Of course you could do this any time on map, no problem there.

Try Grandia & Grandia II, or Legend of Dragoon, they're dated but hold up.

Grandia 2
Legend of Heroes Trails in The Sky
Legend of Heroes Trails in The Sky SC

All the above games don't have random battles(at least as fas as i remember). Instead the monsters move around on the map and they have to touch you, or you touch them, in order to fight them. You can evade most of the fights if you bait them then run away

Have you checked out Trails in the Sky? It has a direct sequel that came out not too long ago, so it's a good time to get both unless you'd rather wait for a sale.

Encounters can be avoided entirely except for scripted ones if you choose.

You can save at any time.

Status ailments clear except for KO. HP and MP reset when you level up which is fairly often and there are magic setups that regen health/mana as you walk (in the sequel to the first). Overall the game is fairly forgiving about party survival and once you learn how to pace yourself you should almost never have to use items.

There's nothing fan-servicey in the game other than 2 scenes total (both games included) involving a hot springs resort but there's no nudity.

There's a Recipe Book for crafting useful food for healing and buffing purposes that actually make it cheaper to craft food than buy healing potions directly.

The story's pace is rather slow compared to other JRPGs but there's also very little grinding unlike other JRPGs, almost every character is likable in some way.

Maybe Seasons of the Wolf? Doesn't fit all your criteria (it does have random encounters, and health doesn't reset after each battle), but you can save anytime. Also Planet Stronghold by the same developer. It has mostly avoidable random encounters; health doesn't reset, but there's an abundance of health potions and time to rest; and you can save anytime.

i'd go for hiperdimention neptunia.... thou u cant save when u want when on dungeons other than that u can save any time some nice comedy chars arent overly sexualized u have a bit of fan service but not much

WTB Sinovera an Amalur JRPG

Valkyria Chronicles is the best guess that I have. You can save whenever you want, the fights are at pre-designated points in the game, the story is rather dark when it comes to jrpgs (the closest we have to a game that talks about the Holocaust) and the only thing that carries over from battle to battle is character deaths which are negligible.

Great game and I highly recommend it but you are asking for a jrpg without a lot of jrpg elements so don't expect to get many different games to choose from.

Disgaea is coming out for PC next year, and while it's a tactical RPG, it has most of the stuff you mentioned. It isn't overtly sexual, there are no random encounters (because battles are in special arenas), it lets you save whenever you want (only outside of battles though).
If you have a ps2 laying around, try to get the .hack//G.U. games. Fantastic rpgs, though a couple of characters might bother you.
Persona 3 and 4 are also good picks, they have really good story, the enconteurs aren't necessarily random, you can avoid most if you're careful, the character design is great and while you need to save at save points, they are frequent enough not to be a huge bother as long as you don't fuck everything up.
Those 3 are my personal holy grail of JRPGs.

The Last Remnant - http://store.steampowered.com/app/23310/

Only one i know that fits your criteria.

This is a little sideways, but how about a Harvest Moon game, or something similar to that? It might be easier if you say what you want, instead of what you don't. There's a lot of JRPGs where you don't have to heal very often for example (I never really have to heal in most final fantasy games between battles).

Rune Factory is a fantasy version of Harvest Moon, but you need to heal more often, though not too much, and there's no random or turn based battles.

ADOM and TOME are fantastic, and you can play them for free (you may have to download them from their respective websites). South Park: The Stick of Truth is a really great JRPG, but it has South Park humor, so whether you'll enjoy that is up to you.

Well since you mentioned playing Bravely Default and enjoying Chrono Trigger, I'll recommed one of my favourite DS games, Radiant Historia. It offers an alternative take on time travel, focusing more on a specific set of events. It does everything you requested. No random encounters, no sexual anything, status effects disappear. There are plenty of save points (there's always one before bosses) and you get a skill that allows you to stun monsters and avoid combat pretty early on. Eventually you'll also be able to run around undected.

Here's some more games, besides Trails in the Sky, you may or may not enjoy, all of which are on Steam...also sorry for the size but as a fellow RPG enthusiast who's looked high and low for fun ones that are worth playing... hopefully something I list will be helpful.

I don't think I saw anyone mention Fairy Fencer F(from the makers of HyperDimension Neptunia) but although I haven't played it, I have heard a lot of good things about it and that it does a few things differently/better than the HyperDimension Neptunia series.

Last Dream - It was made using RPG maker but it's easily one of the more thoroughly designed ones available (It does have random encounters but you can lower the encounter rate). It basically uses the default sprites/models for everything but there's a lot of neat extra content to go along with its main story. It's not too hard on the wallet, has a lot of party setup options(class choices affect the game), replayability and lastly they're going to be releasing an expansion and full sequel to it.

Child of Light: The world map plays like a plat-former somewhat but the combat is entirely like a JRPG, turn-based, multiple characters form the party, choice-based talent trees/skills/magic and equipment to collect of course. The story and dialogue alone makes the game worth it and it looks gorgeous... the one and only downside to it is that it requires UPlay to play, if you can get past that though it is so worth it.

Cthulu Saves the World: It's somewhat short but very amusing. You can also buy it as a 2 for 1 with Breath of Fire VII. It's also an rpg with similar comedy and length but you can grab both for a dollar or less on a sale which makes both very good value.

I'd also like to mention Avernum: Escape from the Pit and Avernum 2: Crystal Souls... these games aren't JRPGs and they aren't for everyone for sure. They've been remade based on remakes of a series called Exile by Spiderweb Software from way back in the dial-up age of the internet. They've been streamlined to suite a more modern audience though so you can save wherever (which is essential since you can very easily kill yourself like I often did ^^;) enemies can be avoided but they will also often chase you. There's multiple endings, turn-based combat and a completely customizable character/party creator... the only downside is that these games are still old games and today's impatient gamers can be critical of them just for that. If I can get even one person to discover them and enjoy them then this box of text was worth it. :P

These games I haven't actually played but they're high on my wishlist since they look really interesting:

Mugen Souls: I hear it's been heavily altered like several Agarest games so it may fall into too much fan-service though.

Machina of the Planet Tree -Planet Ruler- : Another RPG Maker game, it's been heavily customized into an anime looking game and overall looks pretty good but the reviews say it's a little short.

Eternal Senia: This one is entirely free but has a pretty good story from what I've seen and hopefully the creator will make a sequel or something to that affect.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4: It has a ton of recommendations so it must be doing something right.

Evoland 1 & 2: They aren't 100% JRPG but they pay homage to some of the old-school favorites.

Anachronox would mostly fit the criteria

For 3DS:

• Dragon Quest VII & Dragon Quest VIII are releasing next year for the 3DS. Random encounters don't occur in these games. The 3DS remakes of the PS1 & PS2 titles respectively will utilise the overworld system of Dragon Quest IX, which shows the monsters right there in front of you. You can dodge or fight them to your choosing. Speaking of which, Dragon Quest IX is available for the NDS, as well as Dragon Quest IV, V & VI. The latter 3 I just mentioned utilise random encounters though and harken back to the older style of Dragon Quest, but they're still great games.
• Bravely Second: End Layer is also releasing for the 3DS next year. I'd expect that similar to Bravely Default, there will be save points right before bosses, as well as in towns and being able to save anywhere in the overworld.
• There's also the Fire Emblem series (Fire Emblem: Awakening is already available localised, while Fire Emblem Fates is coming next year), which is a cross between JRPG & turn based strategy. Valkyria Chronicles on Steam/PS3 is also similar in that sense.

For PC:

• The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, with the first & second chapters available on Steam (dunno when the 3rd game will be localised, as the second one only came recently).
• YS series
• Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Wow and Blight Below, which has the gameplay of the hack-and-slash of the Dynasty Warriors games, while incorporating Dragon Quest characters, both specific for the game, and several hailing from a number of the classic DQ games.
• Final Fantasy series

That's like saying : "Help me find a piece of shit in the road!" Seriously...play a western RPG. In those, combatants don't take turns twating each other over the head with ridiculously huge swords that most people wouldn't be able to lift, let alone swing, the protagonists aren't annoying emo, angsty teenage cunts with spiky hair and the plots aren't nonsensical bullshit that no one gives a rat's ass about.

I'm confused, so you're interested in JRPGs but you want a JRPG without anything that is typical for a JRPG?
