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 ).
Live A Live.
Forget trying to understand the title, just download the demo.
Octopath Traveler to an extent, too.
Oh yeah and the original Golden Sun has a great overall aesthetic, and some really interesting utility abilities, including ones that can be used in towns.
Oh yeah again, also Wild Arms is worth checking out (but not the remaster, I’ve been told). It does some really interesting things, and the plot feels similar. Combat is a bit of a chore, but I found it meditative. Enemy sound effects are tinny and repetitive and battle theme is divisive.
