Best jRPG like ffvi/vii

Wow downloaded shin megami iv.. is this game hard or just me? I've died so many times in the practice rounds at the start lol. Negotiate wrong and die and have to fully heal up after each battle!
 
SMT games can come across as really challenging, they have a lot of systems that dont appear in other rps and take some time to get used to, negotiating, fusing etc.

They are really good though! try the ps2 titles if you have the chance.

Rpgs like what you want though

Breath Of Fire 3 (PSP or PS1)
Final Fantasy 8 (The Best One :-) PS1, PC, PSP)
Ni No Kuni (ps3)
Lufia 1+2 (Snes)
Star Ocean Series (Snes, Ps1, Psp, Ps2, Ps3)
Tales Of Series (Snes, Ps1, Ps2, Ps3)

And while a little different if you like RPGs try Nier, It left me feeling like not many other rpgs have.
 
I kniw. One minute im crawling all round a dungeon (still in the tutorial phase) and a demon jumps le from behijd and gets me. 2 turns later im dead in the underworld running out of monies and its game over. Im finding saving very frequently is the way to go.

My vita should be here tomorrow so i can get on the ps1 games plus p4 golden incoming too.

I bought ff8 on pc cd release and wasn't my fave of the series.

Is star ocean like hack and slash? I prefer turn based with ATB if possible.

Might try tales R too. Thanks for the suggestions!
 
Looking at suikoden, shin megami etc. What is wrong with the developers?

Chrono trigger snes game about 4mb of data has fully fledged explorable areas and npc you can talk to with good and bad guys on sceeen at the same time.

These new ones seem to have menu driven towns folk, only enemies facing you or no ATB or something wrong with them. Is it being lazy? Focusing on the wrong things. Heck even ffvi has all this stuff and fitted on a snes cart!
