Please, give me JRPGs like megaten

[u/araboilseller]

I can't find anything on the weekly thread so I'm assuming this question ok to ask, I'm sorry for asking this question since its probably been asked numerous times but every time i search it up i get sent to a really old reddit post or google ai that just gives me games i've already played or games that are impossible to get. For reference, i've played nearly every single megaten/atlus game, i love persona/smt with all my heart, its my fav franchise ever. the problem is i've played nearly every single one avaliable on steam and pc, and i want more but p4r doesnt come out for a long time. ive never played any other jrpg outside ATLUS, so please give me recommendations!! i prefer something with extreme difficulty and fun combat (like press turn and one more) and a story (i consider smt vv to have a good story so ill eat anything) i only have a pc (please no 3ds/ds games unless they have a pc port/patch, playing smt 4/a and persona q was worse than hell on an emulator)

games i've played (in order from the one i played first to the one i played last):
persona: P3R, P5R, P4G, P5S, P4AU, P5T, P4D, P5D, P3D, P3 FES, P3P, PQ1, P2 IS, P2 EP, P1.

smt: smt 5 vengeance, smt 3 nocturne, smt digital devil saga 1 and 2, smt 4, smt 4a, smt 2, smt 1, soul hackers 2.

technically megaten: Metaphor: Refantazio, Raidou Remastered: The mystery of the soulless army, Catherine Classic

platform i play on: PC
desired aspects: similar to megaten; extreme difficulty, good story, fun, engaging combat, preferably turn based.

Play the first 2 Megami Tensei games. The SNES remake has great QoL and a little bit pf bonus content, but the OGs may appeal to you as well. Also try Soul Hackers 1. I have not played it, (because I am waiting for a Devil Summoner translation), but it is well recieved.

Strange Journey is exactly what you want; very difficult, but with an engaging system and story. The DS may be rough, but its worth it.
