▲ 2 r/JRPG

So I got my friend into Xenoblade a few years back, and he absolutely loves it. He's a huge fan of the series and has already played every game in the series, but unlike me, he hasn't really touched any JRPGs outside of Xenoblade. He did buy FF7 remake a year and a bit ago and says he plans to play rebirth and part 3. But other than that, I've introduced him to many games and series (Fire Emblem, Persona, Dragon Quest, Ys, etc.) but he hasn't bought any new games, despite showing some interest in JRPGs.

So, I've taken point of what I know he likes in games, and hopefully there will be some games out there that will help reignite his love for the genre. Also, he only has a switch and ps4.

  1. Cutscene heavy games. Preferably with lots of fights.
  2. Real time combat. I've tried to get him into turned-based but he seems to hate it for some reason.
  3. Good story. He loves the sci-fi stuff of Xenoblade as well as big reveals and well written characters.
  4. Good graphics.
  5. Voice acting.

So tl;dr, what are some well written fantasy/sci-fi action JRPGs from the last 10-ish years that I can recommend for my friend who has only played like 9 JRPGs ever.
