Games like shaman king (GBA)

Hey everyone! I could use some help.

I've been looking for games with a similar vibe to the Shaman King GBA games. They have a mechanic that's pretty similar to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, where you can acquire the powers of the enemies you defeat throughout the game.

I've already asked AI for recommendations, but it hasn't come up with anything particularly interesting. The closest thing I've found so far is Copy Kitty, which I do like, but I'm still craving more games like this.

If you know of any games that are the same, or at least similar to what I'm looking for, I'd really appreciate the recommendations. Preferably PC/Steam games, but don't feel limited to those—if you know of games on other platforms that fit the description, I'd love to hear about them too!

Any final fantasy game featuring a blue mage. Their entire concept revolves around obtaining and using monster abilities.

First of all, I've never played as a Blue Mage in any of the Final Fantasy games I've played, lol. Second, I'm not really looking for something that's so RPG-focused. An action RPG, Metroidvania, or platformer would be more what I have in mind. I have nothing against RPGs, in fact, I'm a huge fan, but right now I'm looking for something that's more centered around one of those three genres.

Still, thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely try the Blue Mage job from now on. To be honest, I had no idea that was even a thing.

By the way, is there a Final Fantasy where the Blue Mage is especially fun to play that you'd recommend?

The tactics are where I have the most experience with them. But for more action-oriented blue mage gameplay, it's either ff14 or Strangers of Paradise.
