Fire Emblem Gaiden is so weird. Echoes even has these pixel hunt sections like you’re playing an adventure game.
I always wanted to try Koudelka since I saw a review in a magazine over 20 years ago. Looked like a mix between JRPG and Resident Evil. And oh god Hybrid Heaven. I remember them hyping this up as N64 Metal Gear Solid.
I don’t like the radial movement systems and much prefer tile-based, but stuff like Dragon Quarter sure counts.
Can anyone recommend me a comprehensive website centered on JRPGs that has screenshots? I vaguely remember a couple but the exact names escape me atm.
