PS4Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky2016Turn-BasedSee Vita
VitaExist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky2016Turn-BasedPlays a lot like Valkyrie Profile (comes from the same studio), has multiple endings depending on in-game choices
Xbox 360Infinite Undiscovery2008ActionARPG combat with combo attacks; opening menus doesn't pause the game, too many characters drag the otherwise compelling story down
JP 3DSLabyrinth no Kanata2012Dungeon CrawlerAn almost Ico-like presentation of an isekai dungeon crawler, with rock-paper-scissors-like combat and juggling healing to prevent enemies from doing so
PS2Radiata Stories2005ActionARPG with a majorly branching storyline, tons of recruitable characters (all with their own schedules), and lots to kick!
Xbox 360Resonance of Fate2010Turn-BasedA post-apocalyptic game with a battle system that combines real-time and turn-based elements, lots of gunplay
PS3Resonance of Fate2010Turn-BasedFree-roaming gun-heavy "cinematic" battle system, only 3 party members, a lot of moral gray areas
PS4Resonance of Fate 4K/HD Edition (DL only)2018Turn-BasedRemoves some clothing options, otherwise see 360
JP SFCStar Ocean1996ActionLook at that spritework!

PS4Star Ocean: The Divine Force2022ActionSee PS5

Xbox OneStar Ocean: The Divine Force2022ActionSee PS5
Xbox SeriesStar Ocean: The Divine Force2022ActionSee PS5
Xbox 360Star Ocean: The Last Hope2017ActionChronologically the first game in the series, fun action-based gameplay and a heavier sci-fi emphasis than all other titles

PS3Star Ocean: The Last Hope International2010ActionAdds anime-styled character portraits, dual audio, and new music to the original 360 release; considered to be the definitive version of the game
PSXStar Ocean: The Second Story1999ActionFirst localized Star Ocean game with two different scenarios

PSXValkyrie Profile2000Turn-Based2D dungeon exploration, grim themes, and a combo-based battle system
PS2Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria2006ActionSimilar combat and dungeon exploration as the first game, but with no time limits or pressure to release Einherjar
DSValkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume2009StrategyPrequel to the first Valkyrie Profile; an SRPG where permakilling party members voluntarily can greatly aid in battle
PSPValkyrie Profile: Lenneth2006Turn-BasedAn English port of the Japanese PSX version, not too different overall but does spiff up the localization a bit and adds a few cutscenes
