The Royal version has a few QOL elements for that. Adds several things to make it easier to increase your stats and relationships. I had the same feeling of needing to min/max when I did the original, but Royal is much better at it. Don't feel the need for a guide at all. If you enjoyed the game, but didn't like the time restraints, I'd highly recommend Royal. Adds a lot to the game, while also making it flow better.

You do need to be aware of how essential Temperance R10 is for time management though. It should be unlocked by the end of July at the latest.
You also need to keep track of what confidants are available what days and times, as well as the other things you can do in specific timeslots. The weather complicates things a bit too, like in P4, but mostly you just need to know to study or go to the bathhouse on rainy days.

Live A Live was a great Super Famicom game back in the day. It's a lot like the Romancing Saga series, just simplified a bit, and more "out there" (one of the character scenarios is a caveman, one is a robot on a spacecraft).
I love Saga games. Haven't played Romancing Saga 2 (now remastered) or Saga Frontier 2 (soon) yet, RS2 especially has been on my shortlist for years.
Getting LAL next week, anyone else? It isn't too long so I think I can fit it into the schedule a bit more easily than other JRPGs. I finished the SFC version in like 14 hours.

Going to download the Live A Live demo on Switch later today and check it out... have been looking for a casual RPG.

i downloaded the Live a Live NSP and it seems to run perfectly on my steam deck for those who have one. Also downloaded xenoblade 3 but it didn't run, apparently needs a bit of work and maybe a beefier PC
Runs at 60 fps too, click the more info in the youtube video to see the settings you have to tweak to set FPS to 60 and the rendering settings to use

I think I'm gonna play the scenarios in chronological order, so the caveman first. Back in the day I started with the Edo Japan scenario, and it's probably the longest and most complex out of all of them. I'm finishing up with Ys: Memories of Celceta and I'll prolly do LAL next.
For anyone who played the first incarnation of FF4: The After Years on Wii, Live a Live is a lot like that game. Some of the scenarios are really short (like 30 minutes), some of them take hours. The final scenario has some tweests, so don't spoil it for yourself.

I did the imperial China on the demo and it was fun. They don’t explain combat at all they just throw you in, not sure if that is demo related or the game is like that. It’s easy enough but having to move around Tactics style to get in position for certain attacks wasn’t expected.

i guess the game itself shipped from my nintendo store SE order of XB3, but not arriving till next week lol. no real interest in playing a 150 hour game right now anyways, also sounds like XB3 will have huge DLC like torna and also XB4 will come some day
its too bad its switch exclusive, i wouldn't mind playing but its really hard to go back from ps5 or SX to the muddy textures of switch games. saw a few minutes on twitch though and it looks cool and people seem to be having a lot of fun.
I can run XbX (wii u) and xb2 on my deck no problems at all, although I think they run at 30 fps.

I wish I could get into the Xenoblade games the way I got into the older Xeno games. They're so different though. I want sci-fi space operas, and XB1/2 seemed more like generic JRPGs.

Currently about 30 hours into Xenoblade 2.
Both games in the series take a long time to get into. You don't even get the full combat unlocked for like 20 hours which is just silly.
That said both games are fucking amazing and I actually love this being on the switch now that I have an infant to look after.
Being able to do minor rpg bullshit handheld then go dock when the little shit is sleeping has been a God send..
Highly recommend getting past the beginnings of these games. They both get great.

Well the tutorials are bad and they take way too long to get to the point thus many people quit these games right when they're about to get really good.
I’m only 10 hours into XBC3 and all the systems aren’t introduced yet, but I’ve enjoyed it. I needed a new Switch so bought the OLED model and it’s been quite fun. The screen is so much better!

Yeah, as someone who mostly plays portable mode, the Switch OLED screen is a huge improvement. I'd actually prefer this to a Switch Pro. However the time is drawing near where a Switch Pro is starting to feel kind of necessary. Switch games look so antiquated on my TV compared to PS5 games. Hopefully this hypothetical Switch Pro also includes an OLED screen in portable mode.
It'd suck if the Switch Pro ends up being, like, dock-only or something, so you need two Switches if you want the best of both worlds. A lot of lesser companies would do that but hopefully Nintendo won't.
