NICE! This is the most relevant thing to my interests that Gilliam has found to date. Good bot! I will be watching. Falcom are the granddaddies of action-JRPGs and make the most intricate, story-driven turn-based JRPGs on the market today. The Trails series (The "Kiseki" series if you're a weeb). I'm currently playing through it, and despite it representing a ~700 hour commitment I am studiously chipping away a bit each night, even if that's only 30 - 60 minutes I will eventually experience what this story has to offer. Perhaps bigger names such as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest come out of the gate with more of a bang because each game generally starts fresh, but the Trails series tells one LONG cohesive story. A single game alone has more text than the entirety of Harry Potter & The Lord of the Rings combined. Now multiply that by 11 titles.

This couldn't have come at a better time, I just bought a Falcom t-shirt this past weekend.
