What are some decent turn based games

[Sovitin]

Hello, So yes i do have a few but only two rpg turn based, FF7 and divinity original sin, I am now looking for a game with those in mind by something a bit more anime like. I saw the legend of heroes but, I would have to go back a bit to understand the story. So any other good suggetions?

of you can wait 5 more weeks I recomend checking out DRAGON QUEST® XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age™

Or if you fancy another good more modern FInal Fantasy game with semi-turn based combat you should check out Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. I had a lot of fun with that one

Ooooh yea, Dragon quest. Ever since i looked at dragons heros I kinda barfed lol, But yes FF style turn based was fun, I will check it out

Dragon Quest games are pretty old school and stayed consistent with their theme through out, if that appeals to you then you'll feel right at home. Similar game to that is old Phantasy Star games, think there's a creative "emulator" with the games on steam store.

-For turnbased and the like, even though not very anime, there is Expeditions: Conquistador. Neat game with alot of customizability, but rather short.
-Another game, from top of my head, is first two Disgaea games. They have a decent community build up around them along with some mod support for custom maps, characters, and higher rez sprites.

Let me see if I can suggest anything else, what other RPG have you played and enjoyed beside Final Fantasy and Divinity, OP?

Edit: Oh man, how did I forget this stuff.
-Shadowrun series: namely dragonfall and hong kong, if you're weeb like me you can set custom portraits
-Valkyria Chronicles: Another short, but solid, game with a unique art style. The fourth game is also coming out soon.

Its hard to remember them actually, Dragon age, dragons dogma, Something to the effect of massive creatures and magic that is spectacular. Yees not turn based but that is what im looking into. I have played Modheriehm which was pretty cool in a roll the dice kinda turn based.

[Hikikomori Gamer]

Oh cool, and right on DAO is really fun. Have you tried any custom scenarios for it, or made some of your own? But hey now I perfectly got the kinda stuff you like, man oh man not many games get that setting and wibe like DD and DA despite being similar.

[Sovitin]

I have not, I need to get it started again, And not really. I do enjoy mystic and wonders for those games, FF15 is great but now im looking for Turn based with those sized attacks

What do you mean by "go back a bit"?

If you're worried about the first game being old, Trails in the Sky is perfectly serviceable and has had high-res textures and other quality-of-life features added to it over the years, making the present PC version basically the definitive version. It's also been updated to work well with modern computers/OSes, and XSEED's tech support is quite diligent.

If you want, you can also start with the more recent Trails of Cold Steel, since it begins a separate story, albeit one that takes place after the Sky trilogy, in the same setting. (Besides, the duology between the Sky and Cold Steel subseries hasn't been translated yet, anyway...)

Silent Storm and the sequel Sentinels. Turned based combat ala X-Com but with sweet alternative WW2 storyline (i.e. - Nazis win the Battle of Britain). Play as either the British Resistance or the Germans, mostly a strategy game but with an rpg'ey slant in as much as your squadies gain experience with weapons etc. Or Child of Light for something anime...ish.

Does Child of Light require Uplay?

I still haven't touched that game in part because I haven't decided whether I want to deal with it. It was sorta unfortunately gifted to me by a friend once, before I knew of this problem, but I've since heard that I need to have both Steam and Uplay running to play it, so I'm kinda ehhh on that.

Yeah it does unfortunately. But it's a wonderful game - so that'll take the edge off. It's kind of like getting ice cream after having your tonsils taken out.

Quint, I meant getting all games to understand the story, But if steel and sky are seperate then i am alright, and I dont mind Uplay as much since i delt with them for a few years now. I will check out those games, But I am in the mood for the fantasy magic, monster RPG setting right now.

[Sovitin]

The reason i might actually go for The legend of heros is the fact its beautiful in its attacks, allows movment so you can do some flanking, tag team and its 55+ hours for both this and the second one. Now i just ogtta wait till payday

Oh I see. Yeah, Sky and Sky SC are one story together, and then Sky the Third extends that story. But each of them is so long that unless you play very fast, you'll probably take long enough to finish one game that you would have saved up the money for the next one by the time you're done...and that's not counting discounts.

Anyhow, the Trails games are sold on GOG, Humble Store (DRM-free + Steam key), and Steam, so you can wishlist in all three places and see which one gets discounted first. Cheapest price so far I recall is $9.99 (-50%).

FWIW, the Sky games do have fantasy magic and monsters but have it with some steampunk-like elements. For a more stereotypical swords-and-sorcery type of thing you might want to check out the early Final Fantasy games, and maybe Dragon Quest, as well as other games I'm blanking on at the moment (I wanna Pier Solar, but I haven't played that yet myself, but it looks nice). (I would say the Tales series except that's got brawler action, and Valkyria Chronicles except that's more SRPG with TPS elements.)

Oh hey, I totally forgot, GOG is doing a sale right now, on the Trails games:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/legendofheroestrailsinsky/info/
https://www.gog.com/game/the_legend_of_heroes_trails_in_the_sky?pp=a93c168323147d1135503939396cac628dc194c5

Seems like the second game's also been down to $14.99 on GOG (also -50%). No need to buy them at the same time though -- you can always hold onto your save file and then transfer it when you pick up the second game.
