I rarely play JRPGs, but I played FF7 & FF10 way back, and I want to play another game that gives me the same feeling that those did.
Doesn't have to be turn based. That was honestly the part of those games I enjoyed the least.
Story/sense of adventure is kinda important. Doesn't necessarily have to be an amazing story, just entertainingly told. I didn't enjoy FF15 because the story was such a horrible mess, and I didn't really enjoy Dragon Quest 8 because the game was mostly just focused on gameplay.
Also, I'd rather not play a really old one. Something in 3D with voice acting.
So far, I've written down these:
Nier: Automata Yakuza 0 Lost Odyssey (emulator?) Xenoblade Chronicles (emulator?) Tales of Berseria Dragon Quest 11
lost odyssey, shadow hearts 1 and 2(and koudelka if you want, shadow hearts 3 if you want as well), and tales of vesperia are good vesperia's not turn-based but the others are

Alright hadn't heard of it. Written down
I remember considering Lost Odyssey when it came out. Probably would've picked that one already if it didnt require an emulator
Havent heard of those other ones.
Is Tales of Vesperia the best one? I se "Berseria" is more recent
>tfw didn't appreciate midriff while I had the chance Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

it's considered by some as the best, or at least was a few years ago personally, it's the only one I've played of note but I only played it and one of the psp tales of the world games

Cool.
So its not just combat & grinding in the wilds? There is a narrative
Thats kindof the part im mostly interested in. Doesnt have to be a deep narrative, and it can be stupid. "Anime dumb escapism" or whatever as relief during exam grinds
the story's good but if you really want a story you can get invested in, the shadow hearts games and lost odyssey are definitely worth it lost odyssey has the best story of them but relatively boring turn-based gameplay, shadow hearts is a nice balance because the combat gets mixed up a bit with the judgement ring system, and tales of vesperia is a 3D field

Play more Yakuza if it's been a couple months or longer since you played 0.
