Out of curiosity can anyone name any first person games that come from Japan? They don't need to be first person shooters per se, but any game that is principally from the first person perspective. Any ideas?

It's like the Extra Credits guys said (which I'm sure is what inspired this thread), First person shooters with faceless, blank protagonist's don't work with Japanese ideologies.
Not to mention western first person games like thief, zeno clash, amnesia: dark decent and dark messiah of might and magic that were all first person games but not shooters.believer258 said:
Sorry, but Metroid Prime absolutely was a first person shooter. It just had a much more well developed world map that a series of linear corridors. All that "first person adventure" crap can blow me, because it wasn't an action adventure game. To be an adventure game, you need to have an adventure. And wandering around some planet for hours with no direction other than "space pirates are doing bad things; go here and get this then go there and get that and repeat until you get all the stuff and can stop them" is not an adventure, it's a scavenger hunt. That's what Metroid Prime is: An FPS with a scavenger hunt instead of a well developed plot. And don't post an opinion in a forum if you don't want have a discussion about it, because people aren't obligated to not "fucking argue" it because you tell them to. Until the forum rules say that Metroid Prime isn't a shooter and saying it is results in an instant ban, I'm free to say that I think it is one all I want. Deal with it.believer258 said:
It's also not Japanese (developed by Retro Studios in Texas), so I don't know why you brought it up in the first place.
LSD for the PS1 comes to mind.
Based on a dream journal documented by the lead developer, the focus of the game was to explore the dream through a first person perspective in a non-linear environment. You are able to interact with the dream by colliding with the walls, various objects and creatures in the worlds to continue the dream sequence and discover interesting perspectives on dreams of both the ethereal and nightmarish variety.

Angry fanboism should be left at the door, thanks! While Metroid Prime certainly includes shooting, there was a far heavier emphasis on exploration and platforming (you know, like Metroid and Castelvania?) than other FPSs and even pulled off the Platforming element well, something rarely accomplished in it's camera view.
mjc0961, your description of environments is so vague that virtually EVERY game world can be summed up as such, you reacted rather childishly to a comment aimed at no one, and the saddest part of your post is that at the very end you DO contribute to the thread in a instructive manner making the post all the more painful.
That being addressed, Nanashi no Game is a first person horror DS title that this thread instantly made me recall from the depths of my memory.

The Fatal Frame series has a first person option, I'd reckon that's more atmospheric than the third person view.
