Just finished Sea of Stars ... great TB game with a shitty story specially the end ... but it got me hooked while it lasted, in fact renewed my hope in TB Rpg (yeah fuck you square ... do FF properly again) , the TB semmed classic and fresh (for me anyway) and I never felt bored by it.

So any tips on same styles games I can play ? Realy liked the retro simplicity and straight "forwardness" of the game ... with little to no bullshit

Games that demand too much exploration or socialization are not my thing (persona for example) ...

Join me in jumping into star ocean.

First time I'm gonna be trying the series , especially with second departure remake just out

 

[Cornbread78]

Have you played any of the Persona games? I highly recommend them.... Also, free on GP since Phil sent SEGA/Atlus trucks full of cash to butter them up for a future aquisition

Join me in jumping into star ocean.

that is not turn based.. title says TB (turn based)

That being said star ocean is still great

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Chrono Trigger

 

[Thabass]

Octopath Traveler 1/2, Star Ocean 2nd Story R, or Chained Echoes (though, I haven't played CE yet).

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Those but also these two:

Octopath Traveler 2 was a 10 out of 10 for me.

Lol I read it as Throw Back, not Turn based. That makes more sense.

So yeah, Chained Echoes, Bravely Default 2, the Octopath Games, Triangle Strategy, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 3 Reloaded when that comes out.

If you have a Switch, Fire Emblem 3 Houses.

If you want to see the dark side of the genre I recommend Fear and Hunger 2: Termina. If you want the light side Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.

Chained Echoes!.

- Way better story and characters than Sea of Stars
- Fun turn based combat. It doesn't have a timing/real time element like Sea of Stars which is a shame,but it has WAAAAAY more skills (both passive and active) for each characters and feels more strategic with stuff like buffs/debuffs as well as an interesting system where you need to balance out which skills you use to avoid your party getting into a weakened state.
- Like Sea of Stars it also has no random encounters, and IMO it has a great level system that doesn't encourage grinding.
- The actual dungeons aren't as good as those in Sea of Stars, but the world itself is way more fun to explore, with bigger areas and some great level design.
- The optional content is also way better, there's a small number of side quests but most of them feel meaningful. And once you get more advanced traversal options later on there's a ton of optional areas and things to find.

Thank you all

So... what's your game now?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

There are so many good turn-based role-playing games out there right now.

I feel stoopid for not knowing what TB meant.

But yeah, Persona.

i feel weird for being the only one who thought turn based instead of something else... even if i was correct

 

[Northeastmonk]

I got Sea of Stars because the launch thread looked good. Then they said it sucked and that Chained Echoes was better. So I bought Chained Echoes.

Play Tactics Ogre Rebirth. I finished that and had a good time. I also really liked the PSP version.

I’d recommend Star Ocean 2, but that’s not the TB you want. I played CE for a bit and it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun.

Chained Echoes

One and done.

Tuberculosis was the only thing my brain could grasp when looking at TB.

 

[Skelterz]

If you want something short and sweet cosmic star heroine is worth a play, any of the classic FF games. If you want something challenging SMTV is good if you have a switch.

 

[Bernardougf]

So... what's your game now?

Tried ni no kuni but it didnt click with me .... too childish and the gameplay was too much boring... not into the pokemon thing also... and is not turn based ... Im not a fan of more action oriented jrpgs

OP if you like or liked Wrestling in the 90s, check out Wrestlequest.

 

[AmuroChan]

Trails series.

 

[PanzerCute]

Like many mentioned before: Octo 1 and especially 2, Triangle Strategy if you like TRPG, Bravely Default 2 (absolutely adore this game), Chained Echoes.

If you want some challenge dont sleep on Shin Megami Tensei V and Soul Hackers 2. In terms of pure gameplay they are the best imo: sometimes I had the impression the game was reading in my mind. So many insanely tensed and fascinating combats in these games.
