Any recommendations for some good, classic RPGs that don't require too much moving around, are completely turn based, and light on story?
I ask because I often have enough downtime to play maybe 1 or 2 minutes of a game at a time, so I use my phone to play a couple of turns and put it back. Problem is a lot of RPGs past FFIV use ATB or action gameplay which touchscreens are total ass at.
Some ones I found work well:
>Dragon Quest 1-4
>Final Fantasy 1 and 3
>SNES/GBA Fire Emblems (though a bit too much story to read)
>GB Pokémon games
I'm interested in the older SMT games because I love the PS2 ones but I'm not sure which ones are good and have translations.
I've thought about some old PC games too such as Wizardry, and Japanese PC games if they have translations.
Glory of Heracles
Gen 4-5 srpgs work well since they're turn-based and generally only have a combat menu or basic map between battles, although some can be pretty story heavy.
Then again, if you weren't really interested in the game having a story to begin with, you could always just skip stuff.
Also emulate the SNES version of FFIV. The original doesn't have ATB, that's only in the ports.

If you can emulate DS games, try The Dark Spire and SMT: Strange Journey.
Sadly I think most PC rpgs like Might and Magic, Eye of the Beholder, Path of Radiance and so on are out of question for you.

SNES FFIV had ATB. The meter just wasn't displayed until it was re-released (for a second time) on the GBA.

Good one, didn't think of that.

I'm currently playing FFIV on my Vita at home so don't really need to. Did the original version of V have ATB?

I might try those two, I have a good phone but the battery is starting to get worn so I don't want to kill it. Though a new one would only be like $20. Strange Journey sounds perfect, though, and I've been meaning to try Dark Spire for years.

Playing soul hackers on the 3ds right now and I'm having a blast. Check it out.

SMT 1 and 2 have decent translations, but watch out for the first game translation if you're used to the newer SMT games. The moves aren't dubbed with the names the series has later like Zan and Agi

Between the original Megami Tensei, Megami Tensei II, the original Shin Megami Tensei, and Shin Megami Tensei II, the only one with an official translation is SMT1, and only for iOS
But they have fan translations.
All are generally considered good games. SMT2 is probably the best of the four.

Yes.

Play wizardry 6,7,8 and import your party between all of them.

Also if you want to play the earlier wizardry games with better graphics, you could emulate the console versions.

You miss out on save importing though.

Etrian Odyssey is your game, my man. Get a 3DS and you can play every installment in the series, or emulate the older ones on your PC. They're all worth trying, but EO3 for DS is often called the best.

Also, if you've played Nocturne, try SMT Strange Journey. It's amazing
>>339156686
I actually agree. EO is a good entry to DRPG's because it's not too difficulty or complex while still having a bit of depth and build diversity.

Don't go for the imitators, play Wizardry.
