      4 of those are remakes. And Fantasian came out in 2021, it’s just now getting ported to other platforms.

      Also Metaphor is only half-turn based, you only directly control one character.

      Like a Dragon is the only one I would actually count in such an argument

        You control a full party in Metaphor. If you only played the beginning of the prologue, the game waits for a certain story event to happen before giving you control of other characters.
