Is that how those work? I've been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I'd probably like it.

I don't mean to sound rude, but it seems strange to pine for something lost that not only isn't lost but also you don't seem to have looked very hard for. There are some high profile turn based RPG hits all the time. Pokemon games are still turn based RPGs, and that's the most successful entertainment property of all time.

Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I'd accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it's true, and that's why I'm asking questions.

Your best bet is to just go on Steam and start filtering by tags. You can click on a search and search for both "JRPG" and "Turn-based combat" tags, and that will give you a good list of games in the ballpark of Phantasy Star.

Lol, even the Yakuza series, which used to be brawlers turned to JRPGs in Like A Dragon.
