WGTC: "Seeking some new indie games to add to your Switch arsenal? Look no further than this list."
From Xfire: "The golden era of JRPGs has long since passed, with more traditional RPGs having planted themselves firmly under the spotlight for the better part of the past two decades. However, while there's not been as many JRPG games released in recent years, there's still enough of them being released that results in certain titles slipping under the proverbial radar."
Highly recommended if you like FF Tactics. I believe it was Colin Moriarty's (Last Stand Media) GOTY last year.
Most of these are the weak story jrpgs which is why its an easy pass for myself. I don't have love to turn based or tactics battles systems but I enjoy the other aspects of jrpgs. The most important aspect to me is the story. I have put up with playing horrible battle systems and mini games that should never exist to enjoy the lengthy and amazing stories these games have. For some reason around the PS3 days they seemed to think, who cares about story just worry about battle system and crafting. So if those are the things you're looking for then this list is for you.
I’ve been trying to get back into playing JRPGs lately. With the recent release of Persona 5 Strikers, I finally decided to start playing Royal. I don’t know if I can make the time for just any JRPG though, and Persona games are always an experience and a half.

shining force 2 is still a gem and probably one of the best tactical rpgs ever made. sure, it lacks in the story Departement, but the characters are amazing amd it looks still great
Ogre battle on the PSP was also really damn good.
I thought Arbiter's Seal's writing was significantly below Ogre Battle and Ivalice series. With this the story also was something I cannot enjoy, as I'm for the mature contents such as politics and betrayal.
Matsuno-san created something that hasn't been and probably never will be surpassed in terms of lore and writing, and story. The only title I haven't played from his story arc is the Ogre Battle 64, but it wasn't directly created by him.
