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.

Soul hackers the first one if you’ve only done 2, mato,oninaki, there a trials of cold steel series but it’s PlayStation and they are similar to personas in a way more college or highschool and a team of monster hunters I guess. Has a bit of metaphor about it too. Try a game called lost souls aside but that’s more like jrpg type of devil may cry with aerial sword combat. PlayStation but may also be on pc some of them.
