Brings what grabs you about Final Fantasy IX: turn-based combat, a party of several characters and a strong story.

A classic JRPG following young Bracers Estelle and Joshua across the kingdom of Liberl. Tactical turn-based combat and a warm, character-focused story with political intrigue make it a beloved start to the Trails saga.

Grandia

Fantasy setting

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

Turn-based combat

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

Fantasy setting

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.

Breath of Fire III

Fantasy setting

A classic PlayStation JRPG following Ryu, last of the dragon clan, from childhood into adulthood. Standouts are the Dragon Gene system for combining transformations, the master-apprenticeship skill learning, and a charming, varied journey.
