Found these cool looking RPG games, unfortunately most are in Japanese and are not available for us... bummer.

Just wanted to share my findings
2/16/2012 - Updated StellaCept apk
NEW Version: http://www.box.com/s/9jxd9uilk58damr61e3k

As a Japanese enthusiast I'll give it a shot to the last game (The Last Mage), they look really cool. Sadly I'm not skilled at kanji but who cares, it's a free RPG
Edit: It asked me to register an account and verify via e-mail, which could only be made using a @something.jp address of their choice. Meaning I couldn't get it

My wife is Japanese and from Japan, maybe she can read and register for me

Why do you not learn Japanese language ?
It is not fair that all people in the world learn your language [English] and you don't learn thier languages

My wife is from China and has no family from China here in the US. So last year we went to China for 6 months (my second time, first was 2 weeks) so that her family could see our daughter and spend time with her. Chinese is hard, but worth learning. For me I wanted to learn it out of respect to my wife and her family. Granted I am definately not fluent but I could tell her family and friends were pleased that I was trying to learn it. Chinese language doesnt have a huge vocabulary, but they do have 4 tones, and you can say the same word but change the tone and it will have different meanings. First couple weeks I was trying to say mother, to my mother in law, and she would just start laughing. Turns out mother and horse are pretty much the same with the exception of a different tone. Thank God in China they dont view calling a woman horse like how it means here in the US.
Otherwise I would have disappeared from Planet Earth forever.
I wonder if there is any way to get the above games? Even if they are in Japanese. I know there is like market enabler, but on Verizon we do not have working sim cards slots on our phones so that wont work. Any ideas of getting these games? That would be neato.

Is it possible with MArket Enabler.?

You know what I am not sure. I hope so. I cannot use that app as it changes your phones Sim card country ID, I am on the Verzion CDMA which does not have a working Sim card. So I cannot try it out. If someone can give it a whirl please let us know the results.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!
The three games at the top I have them. I did the following,
Made an account at the following japanese VPN, I used google translate to create an account:
(This first to fix VPN)
http://software2tech.com/tag/how-to-solve-android-phone-vpn-connection-problem/
Go to this page follow link below to access site and create a VPN account (its free)
http://www.vpnsurfing.com/2011/08/free-pptp-vpn-service-provided-by-tsunagarumon-com/
Sign in with account on VPN under wireless & Networks under your settings
I then used market enabler to reflect Docomo Japan.
I then selected the links above to see if they woulld work and they did. I almost forgot I created a new gmail and listed it as from Japan. Then i changed accounts from android market on my phone and signed in under the new gmail on the website android market. Selected the above links and they worked. They listed up as free. I will save the apks and post links for them here. Next I will try to get Ridge Racer Accelerated. Cross your fingers.
-------
In case you dont want to do any of that above you can try the games, and try using my build.prop. Remember my build.prop is from my phone which is a R800x by default. AND I am not repsonsible if anything bad should happen to you phone in attempting to try this.
Here is the link to download the zip.
http://www.box.com/s/s4srim1f4jvd3ziaxy1i
Update again..... Hmmm.... so the first 2 apps load but it appears the rpg is played inside your web browser. And I am unable to go further, will have my japanese friend take a look and see if he can get beyond that page. Same concept as with Elemental Knights Online (which supports the xperia play directional pads and x button)
Celes Arca works, again Web browserm thats why the games are so small, they are being pushed to your phone via the servers the game is on. Still getting the final stages to work, here is another game, again it was free on the japanese android market.
http://www.box.com/s/xva859j2l4f97lp2bfxf

K, got the games to load up and working however my Japanese is not very good, I mostly just wanted to see if I could get them to download which I have been successful. I really want to try and get Ridge Racer Accelerated, and if I can I will then see if I can get the Resident Evil 4 from the Korean market.

Seems like they are a lot of mmorpgs. All but the last mage. Did anyone try it?
And what about the last game you mentioned?

yes, they are all MMORPG. The largest game is only around 9mb. The games load up in your oweb browser, meaning the game itself is being pushed to your phone via the server connection. If you have ever played Elemental Knight Online (EKO)
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.winlight.eko_tw&hl=en
Its a great game and you can use your xperia play controls, no touchpad. Where EKO is mostly in english, the above ones are in straight Japanese and I am not nearly fluent enough to realy play as game. I was hoping it would be a mix of the two, guess thats why it was region locked to Japan until I got a hold of them.
Anyway what weird is when you click on the links above for the android market they show up as a paid game, when I selected the links and I was on the Japanese VPN with the market enabler for Japan / Docomo they popped up as free, odd. But anywhere if they were not a free app I woula most certainly not have uploaded them. I am still not able to get access to Ridge Racer Accelerated. I need to find a build.prop for the 006SH (Sharp Aquos SO-01C) phone. I have changed what I could to try and reflect the phone and I got it to see it as the above phone, but it still wont let me download it, so obviously I am still missing something. If anyone finds anything please pass it on here so that hopefully we can get access to the game.

Here is the Japanese G-Gee Game Center app. Its a Japanese Game market.
Here is the G-Gee Market app

And if anyone wants here is my modified build.prop for Japan

Here is another thread on XDA for the Disgaea game:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22567581#post22567581

I was able to install Celes Arca using your apk's. Luckily didn't have to use the build.prop or change stuff around.
It was a little annoying because it opens a website and had to go back and forward a few times to log in properly.
When I got into the game I soon had to close it hehe but didn't get into any fight, only spoke to a couple of NPC's and didn't really figure stuff out.

I just got word back from the developer of Vanessa Saint Pierre Delacroix Nightmare (wow, such a long name) that they are currently working on an Xperia Play modified version. This is a cool game, I can't wait to have it on my play.

Nice, never played the game but I will give it a whirl when it gets released for xplays.

Rage of Bahamut

I recently found a fun (and *free*) digital CCG that runs on Android AND iOS called Rage of Bahamut. I think it's near the top of the free downloads list. I've been playing for about a week now, and it's very fun and more than a little addictive. I just finished my first event weekend with the game, and I'm looking forward to the next.
Anyway, if you're interested, you should download it, go through the tutorial, and put jox74953 in for your referral code. Then both you and I get a free rare card, and you get some other nice starter boosts.
Although you *can* spend money on the game, I have found that it's very fun without spending a single cent. There's nothing you can get with cash that you can't get for free.
TL;DR
1. Download "Rage of Bahamut" for Android (and iOS if available)
2. Play tutorial
3. Enter jox74953 as referral code
4. Get neat starter boosts

I'm writing a little starter's guide for anyone thinking about playing this addictive little game.

[GAME][2.1+] Lexigon 1.1 - FREE Word Game!

Hello Everyone!
I've spent a year writing a cool word search game, and I've just ported it to Android.
My Game is FREE and is in Google Play -
(if I wasn't a noob a link would be here) Google Play - Lexigon
Have a play with the game and let me know what you think!
thanks!
andy
PS: There is some proof that this game was enjoyed as far back as the 15th century, but don't listen to me read on...
( well if I wan't a noob, another amusing link would be here. search for 'LazyBrush', 'Lexigon' and '15th Century' for those will a will)
PPS: Maybe a kindly soul can post these two links in a reply?
PPS: Version 1.1 removes 'Read Contacts' Permission. Thanks for Comments!

I will check the game out..

Looks interesting... link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.lazybrush.example

Cool game! Do you get more points for longer words?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Is there a reason for the app to read contacts?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Hello again,
Thanks for downloading and for the feeddback!
I use 'Scoreloop' for the online high score and it requires access to contacts. I know it sounds scary but I think that is standard for any online high score server isn't it? (I tried using GREE but it seemed very alpha when I did the port and so didn't compile!)
Yup, longer words more points. Later levels more points. Nice coloured Lexigons more points, blue and green. Bad coloured ones less points, black and red. You can tap to select letters and double tap to submit word, or much faster just slide and release to submit word makes the game very fast.
Glad you all liked it, all I need now is more downloads. I feel like Agent Smith from Matrix....MORE....
Thanks again,
Andy

will try +1 download )
but why strange permissions are required?

I've done a little more digging why Scoreloop require, or should I say, in the integration guide said I needed to include access to contacts.
This article, (I'm still a noob - so URL changed to not be a URL), talks of another developer using scoreloop asking the same question.
http support.scoreloop.com discussions/questions/78-read_contacts-permission-for-android
Seems I can remove the permissions for contacts read without a problem. I will do that promptly.
Thanks again,
Andy

really fun game, thank you! Works perfectly on MM2.

Update
Hi,
So I've update this game without the Read Contacts permission. Game still works fine! Thanks again for trying the game and all the comments!
Have Fun,
andy

Great game, very addictive!
However, the game/server doesn't seem to be logging my scores...
When I start the game, it says my high score is 2800... despite having gone over 50,000 a few times. In fact, I just did 65,000 (? - not sure of the exact score now, since there is no record), it didn't appear on that game server.
How about a game pause/resume option, as well as a highscore chart on the phone itself (by playerID: points & level)?
And while I'm thinking , how about adding a different dictionary? I'd love to play this in Spanish too!
I'd also like to understand how to maximise the score, do the letters have an implicit value like in Scrabble? And how are they multiplied/(divided?) by the different colours? I see that getting a 6 letter word generates a lot of points, so is 6 much better than 5, which in turn is much better than 3, etc?

[GAME][3.0+] Space Overdrive

Because of the very scientific and very secret experiment the universe shifting have happened. And it is fault of the game protagonist, so only he knows how to balance his own universe. Why am I writing in so epic way? Let's go to the features:
* Procedural generic ships
* Old-school gameplay
* It has a story!
* Achievments!
* Online leaderboards!
* Bonuses which give you different abilities (Because every game now has bonuses)
* And many other interesting stuff. So look at the screenshots, watch the trailer and make a decision - to download or not to download.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I have been making this game during the six months, and I've done everything alone.I drawn all textures and wrote all music by myself,and still I tried to keep every aspect of the game in a good quality.
I've got now about 100 downloads for today, and it is cool for me,you now,when the first project is released,it is almost like to born a child. So try it, say what is bad and what is good, so that I could fix it. The game is absolutly free, no transactions and ads in it. So I am leaving this post here, not because I want money, but because I want to improve the product I've released, and only reviews and comments can help me in that. Thank you!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I can't leave links in the post because, I havn't posted enough threads or something like that, so I can put the link only like a common text, sorry for that. P.S And I also wrote it in the Code tags, because the string with link was cut in pieces without it.
Code:
[B][U]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlexGoodwinMountainBit.SpaceOverdrive[/U][/B]
There are also should be an icon,screenshots,and a trailer, but because of the strange policy of spam control, I can not do that, because the only way to insert the image is through links, and about posting links I wrote above. :crying:
