SkillUp’s “This week in video games” videos are great both for news about the industry, and what’s coming up and worth keeping an eye out for. Listening to podcasts is another good one. I listen to MinnMax every week in particular.

Radiant Historia

The enemies are placed on a grid and your characters have abilities that can move them around or place traps on certain squares, plus as part of the game’s time travel theme you can reorganize the upcoming turn order. Use those together and you can arrange the absolute sickest combos, knocking everyone into a big cluster and then wailing the shit out of that cluster.

Just be sure to play the original DS version and not the enhanced 3DS version with new art, voice acting, and story additions that ruin the tone.

Steam’s discovery queue is a great source for finding new games. It shows you a list of games based on the games you own and never repeats itself.

Mine is pretty useless. I have 4 hours of playtime on CSGO from 10 years ago and it thinks I want more FPS.

Manually checking out the similar games section of the ones I do play has been a lot better personally.

Edit: not to say discovery queue isn’t good, just that the similar section is another good option

Pinball Deluxe Reloaded has been an excellent time-waster on my phone for a while now. It’s available on PC too.

I liked the puzzle battle style of games like Disgaea 2.

Not a big fan of the classic “let’s all stand face to face and take turns bashing each other” approach.

I agree, throwing enemies into stacks is much more amusing than everyone just standing around.

Vagrant Story had a really cool swordfighting system.

Phantom Brave because it’s so unique, Chrono Trigger of course because it’s so classic.

Legend of Mana, although it was broken, I never got bored with encounters. didn’t have to worry about items or mana, only health. if they added a mana system (ironic) and fixed the stunlock, would’ve been more balanced

secret of mana was good but honestly seiken densetsu 3 improved on it so much.

on the other hand, earthbound combat is so nostalgic to me.

There’s no other system that quite captures the feeling of, “Shit, that was a lot of damage. Do I try to heal them before it rolls to 0 or just spam attack and hope to end combat before they go down?”

Since FF 6 and 7 have already been mentioned, I’m going to give a honorable mention to Shining Force.

Turn-based: Bravely Default. A stellar evolution of FF5 that gives you so many toys to play with, and the titular Brave/Default mechanic opens up a lot of cool ideas just by giving you flexibility in when to take your turn. Specifically BD1 and Second though, I felt like BD2 was a massive step back by trying to introduce a turn order system at the expense of no longer queueing everyone together at once.

Action: Tales. Hard to pick just one, and there are still a bunch I haven't played, but I think I'll go with Vesperia specifically for all the advanced tech it allowed for.

Honorable mention to CrossCode as well, but I know someone's gonna debate whether it counts as J or if it's just sparkling Secret of Mana.

I can’t say I have a favorite, but I do strongly favor anything strictly turned based. I’ve been playing Divided Reigns and its combat system is stellar imho, so there. Lots of weapon types, lots of attacks for each types, lots of skills, lots of magics. Makes non magic users at least as satisfying to use as spell casters.

If we talk Action JRPGs then i guess it’s Drakengard.

Protagonist power not enough? Then i summon my legendary dragon and end my turn!

(Wait no, that last thing is not entirely true.)
