What JRPG combat is your favorite?

I’m currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles and I also played Final Fantasy remake and Golden Sun recently and all of them have wildly different combats. Which got me thinking what JRPG out there had the best combat? This doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily your favorite JRPG as well.

My favorite is Persona 5. I just love figuring out what the weakness of the enemy may be and making sure to arrange my party in such a way that I can handle most combats very easily.

The more I play, the less I enjoy games that have active combat systems, from the Mario RPGs’ timed attacks to even Final Fantasy’s ATB. I really want to have time to think my turns and just select and use the skills, no reason to try to make it more action-based. So the MegaTen series and Trails series are the ones that cater to my current tastes.

Grandia series. I’m partial to the leveling systems but the battle system is fantastic. There’s ATB, field movement, charged attacks/magic incantations that can be canceled, a light combo system. I just love it

I'll take persona, although it's been way too many games with the same setup. Ditto for the Trails series.

Honestly, I don't think it got any better than ATB systems in FF 6 and 7. Everybody else is either riffing on those or spending so much money they think they can't be those and need to be Devil May Cry instead.

Persona 5’s combat is really good, although I feel like it’s less fun against bosses where you’re not constantly getting weak point resets.

The Xenoblade games have fantastic combat, I’d probably rank them XBC2(late game)>Torna>XBC3>XBX>XBC2(early game)>XBC1

I love this. Lookin forward to future XBC games even more now.

FF6, or more recently, Battle Chasers: Nightwar

I like it old school.

Chrono Trigger and Grandia 2 come to mind.

I haven’t played many JRPGs, but I’ll say Grandia 2. I liked the way the timers worked, and the cancels. Also positioning always adds depth to combat.

Panzer Dragoon Saga was pretty cool too, with the circular movement.
