Most strategically deep JRPG
Which JRPG would you say has the most depth of strategy needed to succeed.
I haven't played a ton of JRPG, but in a lot of them I've noticed theres more of an illusion of strategy than it actually being required. For example a lot of games seem to have a ton of items and combat mechanics, but 90% of them are useless and usually "hit hard spam potions" to some degree wins, and more interesting strategies they present just fall flat, like status conditions and stuff
I really enjoyed SMT 5 because of all the different elements and interactions with them, in addition to the fact that buffs, debuffs, and status conditions actually make a different and are usually required to some degree for harder combat
I get that the majority of traditional JRPG are story based games, and depth of strategy takes a back seat to the experience, but I figured I would ask to see where the discussion goes. I already play a lot of TRPG and other strategy games, im really more interesting in knowing which more traditional JRPG will scratch the strategy itch in the JRPG package
