I've been wanting to get my teeth into a good turn based RPG in a while because it has been a long time... In fact I think the last one I really played was my second playthrough of Chrono Trigger a few years ago. Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy VII/Final Fantasy V are probably my favorites that I have played thus far... I'm okay with the Active Time Battle as long as it's done well and still turn based in essence (I remember playing a demo for FF XIII-2 and the combat didn't feel like Final Fantasy at all and I was disappointed).
I would prefer something to play on my PS4 though Vita would be okay too. I'd like something that has at least a halfway decent storyline, and that'll take at least a solid 30 hours of play to finish up. I'd also prefer something with a more serious/dramatic tone, but that can be disregarded if the gameplay/plot are strong enough.
I have never played Disgaea or Persona before, though I have contemplated picking up a used copy of Persona 4 Golden on Ebay. I also can't remember if I've fully played through FF X-2 or not though something tells me I tried to when it was new and didn't enjoy it as much as X. I'd prefer playing something completely new (as tempted as I have been to get the X/X-2 remasters).
How's Final Fantasy Type 0 (it's one of the only FFs I haven't played aside from the 13s) Would I like Disgaea 5? Should I wait for Persona 5, or try 4 Golden? Are there any other games or series that I'm unaware of?
Any input from avid JRPG fans would be great, as I haven't been following the genre much lately.
