Grandia

Turn-based combat

A classic JRPG about the adventurous young Justin, known for its dynamic combat where positioning and timing determine who acts when, and attacks can be interrupted. It pairs this with a warm tale of discovery and a likable party.

Chrono Cross

Companions and relationships

Chrono Cross is a JRPG classic in which Serge hops between two parallel worlds while uncovering his own fate. Over 40 recruitable characters, an unusual element-based combat system instead of standard leveling, and a superb soundtrack set it apart.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Turn-based combat

A classic Japanese RPG with turn-based battles, a four-member party and a large, freely traveled 3D world in charming cel-shaded style. The quest to lift the king's curse is warm, humorous and very approachable.
