this is mostly an old WRPG thing

Western RPGs.
Ultima 3 being the closest.

are you retard? countless CRPGs/dungeon crawlers.

I recc. starting with the Wizardry series

western art styles look soulless though

Etrian Odyssey

How is this soulless?

Any games with this much soul on PC? And by that I mean relatively recent and not just emulating.

too old, already played
looking for a more modern take

let me know if you find any good examples
jrpgs with class based character creation seem pretty rare

Final Fantasy III but you just pull from the first batch of crystal jobs (which are the same as the FF1 jobs minus thief), and then you can "upgrade" each of them to their superiors (eg Fighter -> Knight) if you want.

original saga series for gb and its remakes

There is an FF1 spiritual successor. Its called Final Fantasy The Four Heroes of Light. Theres also BD, FFV and III.

Wasteland 2 (& 3 probably)
Wizardry 8 (or older)
Japanese Wizardys, like Labyrinth of Lost Souls.
Any Exile/Avernum game
Mostly CRPG stuff, though.

not much

the older wizardry games have jap versions with good art

The NES port of Ultima Exodus might be worth looking into if you've already played all the FF/DQs

so nothing modern huh

Etrain Odyssey series (DS and 3DS)
7th Dragon series (DS, PSP, and 3DS)

You mean FF3?

how is etrian odyssey not modern

he wants fixed classes

see

how is four heroes of light?

Dragon Quest Nine

Holy shit the MSX version looks beautiful

Dragon Quest 6

Icewind Dale

to much waifu

good thing you can make your parties of dudes

Devs wont make it cause that type of game doesnt sell well. You'll have to find a reall autistic passionate dev who likes those games and does it for himself.

Romancing SaGa 1, Romancing SaGa 2, Romancing SaGa 3

not him but I am not really a big fan of first-person dungeon exploration and just don't like the game aesthetically. The mechanics are pretty cool, though. I would love wizardry games in a 16-bit sprite-based style like pic related

what gamu

I've beat this game before and I don't know why. Ultima III is one of the meanest rpgs I've ever played. The NES port fixes a lot of issues the original had but introduces a whole slew of new ones.
