Good intermediate RPGs with great story?
I've been meaning to get into more mature JRPGS. As someone who's loved simplistic RPGs like Deltarune, Paper Mario: The thousand year door, Omori and Mother 2, I feel I want to take off the training wheels and play some real games in the genre.
I'm looking for ones that aren't too difficult and don't have very complicated battle systems but still offer challenge and skill, with a great story and cast to get me hooked the whole time. Preferably one for Steam/Nintendo consoles, that doesn't offer hard graphics, have extremely complicated battle systems and dull gameplay. I've been thinking of trying Chrono Trigger and persona 3, but due to a lot of negative feedback I've seen for both titles on twitter, I've had second thoughts on both titles.
