Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I’m looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat.

For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin.

Graphics don’t matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?

    So, you’re looking for something like Tales, but not at all like Tales?

    The only Tales-like that comes to mind is Summon Night Swordcraft Story, it’s a successor to the classic 2D Tales games, but I’m not actually sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

      I’ve never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)

        Summon Night Swordcraft Story has active combat (that’s what makes it Tales-like), so probably not what you’re looking for here.
