I feel like grinding levels. Looking for something NOT turn based, kind of hack and slash-y. For instance, I just tried out Valkyrie Profile 2, and found the combat kind of clunky with the whole party being controlled at once and limited by AP and weapon attack caps.
Im struggling to find more ways to describe what im looking for, so drop what you think fits and ill look it up and check some gameplay!
If you never played Tales of Symphonia, it’s pretty good, so I’m seconding that.
Thirding I guess. When it cane out it totally dominated my summer between 6th and 7th grade. It’s even fun to play more than once cause you get sorta Style Points called Grade that dont do anything for the first playthrough and instead are used to buy your new game + features. Some of which make the game harder in specific ways as well so its kind of a custom hard mode too. I would look up how character building works cause it’s a bit weird, it can be a bit of a guide game for that stuff and also making sure you don’t lock yourself out of side quests by advancing the main story at the wrong time
