I’m really into games where I can recruit a bunch of characters and have a sizable homebase or hub area to manage things. I’m looking for recommendations for PlayStation or Nintendo consoles. Here are some games I’ve loved that fit the bill: Suikoden, Eiyuden Chronicle, Ni no Kuni 2, Dark Cloud, Digimon World, and Ys 8.

The Last Remnant has a unique recruitment system and is worth a try if you’re looking for something a bit different. It’s got those big scale battles too!
You should also look into the Dragon Age series. It has a similar aspect of recruitment and base management, plus some really great stories!
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is another great option! It features a hub area where you can interact and recruit a variety of characters, makes for a pretty engaging experience!
You might want to check out Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, it has a solid recruitment system. Also, the White Knight Chronicles games have a similar vibe to Dark Cloud, plus Xenoblade Chronicles is fantastic if you haven’t tried it yet! There are plenty of classics too like Breath of Fire 2 and Skies of Arcadia that play into that recruitment and hub concept.
If you’re into tactical RPGs, give Disgaea a shot. It has tons of recruitable characters with a quirky storyline.
Are all the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games like that?
