What are you playing?
JRPG thread
Beat Ys 6, thinking of playing Muramasa Rebirth or LoH: TitS next.
Mary Skelter was ok
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition. Near the end of the game, but it'll probably still be awhile before I'm done with it since I wanted to do as many of the sidequests as possible.
Nelke is a lot better than I was expecting. It's even more town management than I was expecting, but after the initial tutorials ended and it ended up being a lot simpler than it seemed it became enjoyable. It is mostly fan service, though.
The character models are surprisingly decent, though. Hell, the animations are shit since it's mostly with 2D portraits this time, but the models themselves look a lot better than the ones in Lulua do.
Tio's 3rd game!
Earthbound. Still in Onett and getting the hang of combat.

I want to play something new but I end up replaying stuff so I don't have to learn new systems and I can budget my time better

Are there major spoilers if you haven't played the previous Ateliers
No. To begin with the games are all generally slice of life without much plot to them, but the only thing Nelke shares is the characters, who are mostly all isekai'd to Nelke's world in the state of their own game's incarnation. But still, if you haven't played the other Atelier games I doubt it'd be particularly enjoyable to you, unless you have a real hard-on for town building and item production management.
