Once I've completed Grandia II and got the last few things on Doki Doki Literature Club and Stardew Valley, I want to play a new game for the next few months, looking for a more long narrative experience here. These are the ones I'm thinking of, anyone got any strong opinions on these games?

Medieval Dynasty

Persona 4 Golden

Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter

Visions of Mana

Witcher 3

Final Fantasy Tactics - Ivelice Chronicles

Red Dead Redemption 2

  • Never played any of those except Doki Doki, but judging from those example, you might enjoy the MegaMan Battle Network and MegaMan Star Force series

    I also suggest the Disgaea franchise, they're very much the same style of game as FF Tactics, but with a wildly humorous, satirical writing style

    I played the first two Disgaea's and loved them, along with La Pucelle and the Rhapsody games, but I got to Disgaea 3 and I just didn't click with it at all and never played them since. I've played all the classic Mega Man's except 11. As for X I dropped that after X3 (really dislike that game). So I've never done battle network

    Shame you dropped after X3, X4 is actually one of the best games in the series. It kinda goes a little downhill from there, though. X5 I thought was good, but it's still considered a divisive entry, X6 was a mess, X7 isn't much better, but then X8 comes back swinging and is another one of the stronger entries.

    Battle Network is honestly one of the most unique and engaging JRPGs I've ever played, and it was the most successful MegaMan subseries for a good reason

    Yeah I remember reading that Inafune(?) wasn't even consulted about X6 at first and considered X5 to be the actual ending. I think after 3 or so games I found it becoming a bit repetitive and at the time (about 10 years ago now) my laptop was too weak to emulate PS1 games. I'd probably love X4 and X5 if I played them.
