I like to immerse myself in good story with good characters. And for the most part, JRPG provided me just the qualities I was looking for even the mediocre ones like Star Ocean, I liked it just fine. Although I call playing games as hobby, I think I'm as competent at games as game journos, the difference is I never accepted the wokeness and globohomo artstyle most western studios seem to be going for. As someone that love the immersion, woke really takes me out of it and now I find myself not playing games as much because I'm doing something more useful, I suppose. This is why modern western RPGs like BG3, Outer Worlds and Cyberpunk 2077 never appealed to me. Between the demanding system requirements and western style storytelling didn't make me eager to try the games.

Any good recommendations for recent JRPGs? Maybe some medieval themed ones not called Fire Emblem (I have a bunch of those already)?
Sorry but I didn't play that many games nowadays, I wouldn't know but... game like Wizardry Labyrinth of Lost Souls?
