Don't get me wrong, I know there are some, I'm just wondering if there's anything worth checking out that doesn't usually fall into the usual Japanese design trappings that make me cringe. I know some people like the JRPG design but I don't and I want to know if gameplay wise there are any titles that buck the trend. Already know about some titles like Armoured Core etc. but they're heavily advertised.

The story isn't great, some levels feel a bit labyrinthine with winding, illogical paths littered throughout and it can be tough starting out. Encounters are not random however, and grinding isn't required; The closest I came was repeatedly running harder areas to figure out how best to utilise the metric fuckton of combat options I unlocked and how to approach specific enemy types. That, and because it has one of the most enjoyable and rewarding combat systems I've encountered.
