So, looking for an RPG that is NOT TURN BASED, and action oriented in its combat. I want to grind and watch number go up, but want the combat to be more hands on than turn based.

Last time I asked, I settled on Xenoblade Chronicles. I got to almost level 40 in it, then I lost 6 hours of progress cause of a save snafu, and I dont feel like going back to it.

After that I switched to Tales of Symphonia at yalls recommendation. I like the combat, but DAMN is it hard, and there is no tutorial at all for any finer points.

What other games might scratch my itch? Ill be playing on a Retroid 5, so it'll be emulated. That said, it can do a lot of switch games pretty well, so if its newer and on switch, I can try it!

For Clarity: Ps2 generation and earlier, OR on the switch. 3DS and Vita are cool too.

Pokemon mystery dungeon if you want something also pretty cute.

I’d recommend persona 4, but poor Kanji gets some homophobic teasing throughout the game and his shadow self is his own closet queerness…which is a little…too close to home.
