So, are there any other arpgs with a battle system similar to

try Hybrid Heaven for the N64
or maybe the megaman battle network series
honestly there aren't that many similar games

No. Think about it. They were made in the late 90's, when Slasher games started to emerge in PS2 era(Devil may cry, god of war etc)

It didn't serve any purpose. Was it tactical? No, at least not any more tactical than any turn based game. Was it packed with action? Again, not really, more like exchanging blows in real akwardness.

That mini RPG game in Ehrgeiz game was similar, but without turn based, real time like Diablo.

thread of fate

Koudelka?
I've never played it myself, but I remember the combat looking kinda similar from the screenshots I saw back then.

>>4138115
Kingdom Hearts chain of memories on the gba has real time card battles so not really turn based nor retro but I'm guessing this would be up your alley

>>4138115
Granstream Saga comes to mind, but I don't recommend it.

Mobius final fantasty

Koudelka is straight up turn based on a grid.

>>4138115
Seiken Densetsu series.

Yeah, but the grid doesn't serve any purpose.
You just can wait for the enemy or keep attacking at a distance.
