Utawarerumono (2002 / 2006 anime)

You awaken in the peaceful, secluded village of Yamayura with no memory of your past. Found collapsed in the surrounding forest, you are taken in by the kind-hearted Eruruu and her grandmother, Tuskur. But you aren't the only stranger here; a mysterious man named Hakuowlo, wearing an unremovable mask, is also recovering in the village. Whether you are a rare, featureless human from a forgotten era or a beast-eared native of this untamed world, your arrival marks the beginning of a grand journey. As local tensions with tyrannical lords escalate into full-scale rebellion, you can either fight alongside Hakuowlo, travel the world alone (or find a team to travel with), or stay in the village as a new member of the village. Well slowly gaining your memories back.
