I'm in dire need of a wholesome/SoL-esque JRPG.
I've just got off playing some grim and honestly trauma inducing games, so.... Just as the title says, I would like some recommendations for some wholesome JRPG's. Just so you know, I haven't really delved deep into the JRPG space, so you guys could probably throw anything at me and there'd be a 95% chance I haven't played or even heard of the game.
Basically, I'm looking for a game that has:
- Little to no stakes
- A good gameplay loop
- A great story/cast
- Very emotional (in both a wholesome & melancholic way)
For the third point, the main plot doesn't have to be spectacular, but since it's a SoL, I'd atleast like the side quests and characters to make up for it.
Naturally, I've tried to do some of my own digging (failed miserably since I don't know where to look). But, a JRPG I'm currently looking at is the atelier series, which I've heard is really good. I'd just like to get more options to weigh.
