As to the other situation above, it is all about risk tolerance because he is not connecting as he is on separate tickets. If there is a significant delay on the inbound and the passenger no shows for his onward flight, depending on that onward ticket's fare rules, he may be required to purchase a new ticket at walk up prices. I am uncomfortable with short transfers unless the onward ticket can be replaced cheaply and the risk of getting stuck for an appreciable period of time is minimal.
I should have been more clear and used the proper terminology.

Our ANA flight to NRT is not connected with the JAL flight departing NRT. We would be booking that ticket separately. So our situation is identical to TennisNoob. So we are taking on the risk of getting to TPE ourselves if there is an issue.

But if all runs smoothly, we should be able to make our second flight with almost 3 hours between flights. Correct?
