Dragon Quest XIS is still fun 25 hours in.

Mostly because of the variety in the main quest. It isn't all town -> dungeon -> boss -> key item.
There are curses, tournaments, trading quests, stealth missions, monster hunts, treasure hunts, escort missions etc. all part of the main quest.
Using Charm and other status effects is actually viable for plenty of battles in this game too.

I love that game. It was the first JRPG I finished. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is great as well. The opening on the ship doesn’t do it any favours but once you get on the island it opens up. I put God knows how many hours into it.
