I have actually played a few of the more recent ones, Zestiria, Berseria, and Arise although I haven't finished the last one. I also picked up Trails in the Sky series from the last Steam sale and they are quite good.
I haven't played tales of, but another modern game that gave me heavy chrono vibes is Chained Echoes. I've been loving it. Streamlined the right parts of jrpgs imo
I played that since it was free on XBox pass and loved it. Actually is the reason I picked up Chrono Trigger. I really hope the developer is able to create more games similar in nature. From what I understood it was just one person?
