Looking for JRPG Recommendations Beyond the Big Names

-

Hey everyone! I used to be a huge fan of JRPGs when I was younger, but I’ve had mixed experiences trying to get back into the genre lately. After finishing Final Fantasy X and Expedition 33, I’m eager to dive into more JRPGs, but I have some specific things I’m looking for. I want fun gameplay that isn’t just about spamming the strongest attacks, and a good story that avoids convenient plot twists. I’m not into clichéd characters or games with too many nonsensical moments. I’ve tried a bunch of JRPGs, and while I’ve enjoyed some, others just didn’t resonate with me. What are some recommendations you can give me? Thanks!

You might want to give **Romancing SaGa 2** a shot. The gameplay is somewhat similar to Octopath Traveler, where you target enemies’ weaknesses. While the story is just okay, the main character and party customization are top-notch! It offers a lot of freedom in how you approach battles.
