I’m really captivated by the themes of life and death in Persona 3, and I’m looking for new games that explore similar ideas. I prefer turn-based combat mechanics, and I play on Switch and PS5. I’ve already enjoyed Final Fantasy 7 and Persona 3 Reload, and both of these games have taught me valuable life lessons. I’m curious about what other games might resonate with me, especially those that challenge perceptions of life and have strong narratives with engaging characters. Any recommendations?

Final Fantasy IX is a great choice! It also delves deep into themes of life and death, plus it’s available on Switch. You might really enjoy the fairy tale aspect and the way it tackles those heavy concepts throughout the story.
If you enjoyed Persona 3, you might also want to look into other titles from the Persona series, like Persona 4 and Persona 5. They maintain that engagement and thematic depth. Also, Final Fantasy IX really stands out for its focus on the fragility of life—perfect if that’s what you’re looking for!
I’d definitely say Final Fantasy X also fits the bill with its themes!
I’ve heard that Persona 1 and 2 are different styles but might be interesting to try as well.
Kowloon Highschool Chronicles and Final Fantasy XV both explore themes similar to Persona 3, so those could be worth checking out if you haven’t played them yet.
I’m actually planning to grab that one too when it goes on sale!
