Every single guide for this just says "Oh go to extra ops 49" even though that isn't unlocked until after Peace Walker Battle 2, and I desperately need to rank up my weapons. My R&D level is too level to do this. How should I recruit better soldiers?

Hello,
I have learned that Wizardry and Ultima are super crucial to the development of JRPGs, which happen to be my favorite genre. I am aware they are more cRPGs than JRPGs, which I've never interacted with as a genre (never played Baldur's Gate or anything like that). So, with that information, where should I start for the series as more of a JRPG fan than a cRPG fan?
