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.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink

I think pretty much exactly what you’re looking for?

I would also say to try and stick with Symphonia it’s so good, but I forget if there are difficulty levels you could switch on it or not. But man what a good game.

More generic suggestions: any souls like (souls, enotria, lies of P, etc.) any monster hunter (rise probably playable), any ARPG (Diablo, Titan Quest, Path of Exile II, Lost Epoch, Grim Dawn), any Tales of games (Symphonia is the best but any are similar)

Hell even stuff like Final Fantasy XV (with DLC so you can play as other characters is solid tbh), dragons dogma I/II, Witcher Series, Bastion, Devil May Cry series, etc.

Edit to add more options:

Something like Kingdom Hearts, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Onimusha series, and I’m sure one of the too many Warhammer games might fit as well. Vermintide 2 I think is free now?

I just downloaded Tales of Abyss, might give that one a go and see if it clicks more!
