For you guys that played both, if I wanted a classic JRPG should I go with TitS or Cosmic Star Heroine? Which game has the better combat?
Cosmic Star Heroine has a really fun combat system, but it was a bit of a disappointment in the story and character departments. If you really like SNES JRPG's, it's basically a love letter to those, and there are some neat references to them.
TitS combat isn't bad by any means (just a little bit slow, but it's just been updated to include turbo mode), and it has fantastic characters and worldbuilding. TitS is definitely a slow burn - it takes its time developing the world and characters, so it takes a while to get started. But once it does, it absolutely pays off.
Both are very solid JRPG's, but for different reasons. I liked Cosmic Star Heroine, but the Kiseki series (which TitS is the first part of) is my absolute favorite JRPG series.
