Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).
To add to all the other great suggestions:
LIVE A LIVE
An rpg with multiple stories. Each in a different time period and with slightly different mechanics. It was first released for the snes only in Japan, but has recently been rereleased in the style of Octopath Travelers
The world ends with you
Part action rpg and jrpg. It’s set in modern (at the time) Tokyo and has a great story. It was originally released on the DS and has been rereleased on the Switch. A cool but lacking sequel was released some years ago too.
CROSSCODE
Action rpg with an MMORPG setting (game is singleplayer)
What’s up with the plot of the final chapter tho
Don’t know. Haven’t finished it yet
