    Does Dragon Quest not work for this? Still turn based even now in the most recent game in the series. Looking forward to the next one.

      DQ 11 is also one of the only video games I’ve personally been hooked on the writing for, too. There are a few very emotional moments, both in the main story and side stories. Also, the rhyming mermaids start feeling corny but really grew on me.

      Legend of Heroes is another.

      Yeah, that’s a good pull, but I’d place DQ closer to Persona than FF in terms of… I don’t know, triple-A-ness? I think objectively that may not be true, DQ XI is pretty large and feature-rich, and DQ VIII was definitely as big as FFXII, short of having fewer CG cutscenes… but I guess the whimsy and more fairy tale-style visuals and narrative knocks it down to that mid-size for me? This may be entirely subjective, I don’t know.
