If you're down for a retro RPG via an emulator, Earthbound. The overarching story is about dealing with traumatic events as a child and coming of age while hitting the endearing but quirky note similar to games like Undertale that was a cult classic on the SNES. It came boxed with a full color, complete strategy guide made to look like a travel guide so it's intended not to be too difficult and really experience the story.

If we're breaking out the old school SNES RPGs, there's a list of great ones, with Chrono Trigger being the top 5.

Others (in no particular order):

Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Zelda: Link to the past
Illusion of Gaia
Breath of Fire (1-3)
Actraiser ( not 2, though...)

That's off the top of my head, I'm sure I'll remember more later, but that's easily 100+ right there.

Yeah, Earthbound was definitely the major inspiration for masterpieces such as Undertale and Omori
