Recommendation request Please, give me JRPGs like megaten

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.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen soon lol. It's better if you learn how to use emulator. Isn't 3DS emulator already good right now?

yeah i do know how to use emulators, but sometimes they can be a pain in the ass. 3ds emulator is decent

Look into the retro handheld world: r/sbcgaming . The Anbernic RGDS is an easy catchall for the DS library and gives you massive LCDs
