Hello World!:))

Hey! I'm looking for new games to play! I would like jrpg-type of game but with some romantic subplot. It can be something like a dating sim (for example Persona or Cold Steel) or something more linear like Trails in the Sky.

Can you recommend something?:) Thanks!

The jrpgs I've played:
Persona series
Legend of Heroes
Valkyria Chronicles

thousand arms since romance is the main goal of the game actually.

Funnily enough, those are my favorite types of games, since I love JRPGs and romance is one of my favorite genres as well. (I'll be watching this thread closely).

As for game recommendations you could try Dragon Quest V. The actual romance elements is rather limited, but it is still relevant to the overall story.

You could maybe be interested in the Rune Factory series. I've only played 3 and 4, so I don't know how the other games are, but I've loved the two that I played (Rune Factory 4 is one of my favorite games as well). I'm not sure whether you would be interested in the farming elements of the game, but spending a lot of time farming is not really mandatory. It is completely possible to only focus on the RPG and romance elements (as far as I can recall).
By the way, the romanceable girls of Rune Factory 4 are in my current signature.

If I remember correctly Summon Night: Swordcraft Story had romance as well. Though I may be wrong, since I never actually finished the game and it's been a long time since I played it. In other words, maybe do a bit of research so that you don't waste time playing a game that doesn't have romance :)

There's also the Fire Emblem series, and more specifically, Awakening and Fates (I would recommend Three Houses but I haven't played it yet). The romance in these two games essentially allows you to ship a character with another one, which all revolves around the "Support" system. So perhaps you'd be interested in these games as well.

Welp, that's all I have for now. If any of these games piques your interest, feel free to say so! I'd be more than happy to give further explanations regarding the RPG and romance elements of these games.

Ar Tonelico & Sakura Wars come to mind for visual novel-ish romance segments. Haven't played it myself, but from what i understand the Agarest series is similar

For more traditional, can't go wrong with the Tales of games. Graces, Abyss, Symphonia are more geared to romance than the others, possibly Vesperia(I havent finished it yet)
