Looking for a rec: story oriented RPG with minimal focus on combat (lemmy.ca)

Preferably in the high fantasy or sci fi genre.

I enjoy playing games like Chronotrigger, Tales of Symphonia, Witcher 3 (easiest difficulty), Mass Effect (in Story mode), Outer Worlds (in Story mode), etc.

Basically, story first, mechanics second. What's your fav?

If you've not yet played through the Kiseki (The Legend of Heroes: Trails) series, I highly recommend them. They are very story heavy. You'd definitely want to begin with the Trails in the Sky series since every game in the series is connected (and if you want to get the whole picture and experience the greatest impact from the events that happen throughout the series).

I have had that one in my steam wishlist for a while, starting with Trails. Never pulled the trigger. I've heard that it is very much a slow burn, but ends up being a favourite for a lot of RPG fans. Accurate?

I'd say that is accurate. It is a slow burn to start, and it took me several tries to actually get into it. Once I did, I ended up plowing through all of the games. :) They are all excellent. The series is really something special. Trails to Azure is actually one of my most favorite games of all time, too.
