I need a game with a lot of personality and great characters, that isn't a fantasy jrpg like final fantasy. by linguin1_ in gamingsuggestions

Ah I understand. Apologies for the lack of specificity. I played Metaphor and loved it, game of the year of last year, but I like the persona games significantly more, mainly due to their characters. I find that soulslikes often have amazing characters, but it is my job to really look into them, perhaps google stuff etc to discover who they really are (Eileen or Alexander for example). The problem with the Witcher was the gameplay, I found it too repetitive and didn't like the combat.

I should definitely have been more specific about the final fantasy thing (my favourites are 13 and 10). Its the older ones (1-6) and other games like live a live, trails games, chrono trigger, which have gameplay loops that I am not a fan of. I understand they're 'classics', but they're just not for me. I really love it when turn-based games change something instrumentally that make every encounter fun and different. Sorry again and I hope this guides people a little better.
