Looking for JRPG like Suikoden or Xenogears

[alorxico]

As the title suggests, I am looking for PC games that are similar to the Play Station games Suikoden and / or Xenogears.

I am looking for a story rich game with either (a) a large cast of playable characters or (b) an assortment of mechs that can be customized and personalized. I would prefer turn-based combat but I am not 100% committed to that if the other options are still there.

The Last Remnant was suggested to me but it is not available on Steam or GOG. My husband plays Battletech by cusses and screams at it so much for "cheating" and being unfair that I don't think it is worth the current price tag.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Don't you see the pattern. More and more once exclusive JRPGs are being made available on the Switch. I am not even saying the PS4 was never king of JRPG, maybe it was once king when it came out. But RIGHT NOW it is nearing it's end of it's lifespan and I understand why developers are switching to the Switch as it is the hottest selling consoles RIGHT NOW.

Got it, you cannot name even 5 games for the switch that are not available on other platforms. Glad to see you concede your point.

Also as an FYI, porting games to the switch is not developers switching. It's the same as them porting them to PC to try to sell to as many people as possible. It's not a new trend and its been going on for years hence why Atlus has been porting Disgaea and their games to both PC and Switch. No reason to limit yourself.

The fact which you have been unable to prove otherwise is that there are very few exclusive JRPG's on the switch. Nearly everything they have is available on other platforms where as most of the PS4 games are exclusive on the PS4.

Atelier Series - not all are exclusive and most is on Nintendo Switch.

Never said they all were but PS4 has multiple exclusive titles of that series. Nintendo Switch has 0 exclusive

Star Ocean - not all is exclusive, Star Ocean First Departure R is also on Switch.

Again, never said they all were but again, Switch has 1 title which is a port of a super nintendo game that is available on other platforms. No exclusives, meanwhile ps4 has several exclusives

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - just announced for the switch

Again 0 exclusives for switch, several for PS4

Then there is Kingdom Hearts, Persona Series, Odin Sphere series etc you edited out because they aren't available at all.

Again, it seems like the only thing you've shown so far is that the switch is getting ports of a limited number of the other consoles exclusives. So if you had to choose between two systems and 1 has a ton of exclusives and the other "gets ports of some of the other systems games" its a pretty easy choice to make.

Again it's really simple. If you want to say the Switch is a better console then the PS4 then go list me 5 JRPG's that I can only play on the switch. It shouldn't be that hard to come up with a list since its the hottest selling console and the king of JRPG's as you claim. I mean I already gave you over 10 for PS4 and I could name another 20 easily enough that aren't available on switch.
