I love exploring open worlds, but that doesn't mean that I want every game I play to feature one. JRPGs are one of the genres where you find a mix of map styles, letting you decide the style you want at that time as you search for a game to play.
An open world can be fun in that it makes the in-game universe feel expansive and alive. At the same time, having extra content might become tedious if you like to do completionist runs, or you can end up entirely distracted by side quests, ignoring the main quests. Without an open world, you can focus on the narrative and characters, keeping the spotlight on them rather than their world.
When the topic of JRPGs comes up, Chrono Trigger usually gets mentioned, too. This might be one of the most classic and beloved JRPGs, and its mechanics trick you into feeling like the world is more expansive than the areas you can access.
Time traveling in Chrono Trigger lets you pick different eras and locations in those eras to send your party, giving you the illusion of a large world without making it an open world. It's almost crazy how a map can feel large and detailed without letting you freely explore it.
Across the series, Persona has so much content to offer that having an open world on top of that would simply be excessive. The Persona games blend classic features of JRPGs, such as turn-based combat, with elements that you’d normally find in social simulators to give you a unique and immersive experience.
Persona 3, in particular, has just been remade as Persona 3 Reload, although the female protagonist from the original wasn’t included this time. Still, it’s been given a modern polish, making it a great time to try Persona 3 if you haven’t played it before and want a break from open-world games.
Another game that’s in the middle of being remade is Trails in the Sky, which you might’ve seen as Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, with the 2nd Chapter having been released recently. The Third Chapter has not yet been released, or even confirmed. The games are part of the larger The Legend of Heroes series, but Trails in the Sky is a perfect piece that you can play without knowledge of the overall series.
