I’m currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles and I also played Final Fantasy remake and Golden Sun recently and all of them have wildly different combats. Which got me thinking what JRPG out there had the best combat? This doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily your favorite JRPG as well.
My favorite is Persona 5. I just love figuring out what the weakness of the enemy may be and making sure to arrange my party in such a way that I can handle most combats very easily.
I liked the puzzle battle style of games like Disgaea 2.
Not a big fan of the classic “let’s all stand face to face and take turns bashing each other” approach.
I agree, throwing enemies into stacks is much more amusing than everyone just standing around.
