Looking for a Tales-like RPG without active combat (lemmy.ca)

Hey folks, looking for something that scratches an itch. I love the Tales series, but dislike the active combat system. So I'm looking for something in the vein that is low combat or turn based tactical combat.

For comparison, I also enjoy Fire Emblem but wish it was more of an RPG. And have recently replayed Dragon Age: Origins (and wished it was turn based like BG3). In DaO I preferred exploring the Dwarven city over combat by a huge margin.

Graphics don't matter. Depth of story matters. Ideas?

I play with a controller on PC, and while I'm fine with the campaign battles in WotR, it irritates me to no end how they change the controls for them. It doesn't make any sense at all to do it, but they did. No matter what I will eventually accidentally skip turns because of that dumb decision.

One example, for those that don't play with a controller: In regular party fights pressing the shoulder buttons will select an enemy, which can be a huge help instead of using the pointer.

But in the campaign army battles the shoulder buttons skip your turn. Why??
