I should probably come out and say that I really don’t get them, but I’ll try not to be a contrarian in this thread lol. Looking for genuine perspectives.

    The SNES through PS2 days were the golden era of JRPGs imo. FF4-FF10 plus FF tactics are all legendary titles I’d highly recommend even in spite of their age. When I played the FF10 remaster sometime ago I was blown away by how fleshed out and complete it felt compared how most games today. I never owned a Switch however so there is no doubt a lot of good recent JRPGs out there I missed like the Fire Emblem games and such.

      In addition to what CriticalResist8 said, a lot of the Fire Emblem games never made it outside of Japan, but have fan translations into English now. Fire Emblem 4: Genealogy of the Holy War is one of my favorites (and directly inspired Three Houses)

      You can easily emulate a switch on PC btw, assuming it’s beefy enough (no idea about the required specs). Less intensive games e.g. Ace Attorney even work on mobile!
