One left to guess from last batch and a bunch more to catch up to live.

40. Tactical JRPG set in China. 1st game in the series. The name is basically the old name + Tactics instead of the beat em up name.

Moving on the map is similar to chess in that unit types have varying levels of movement (i.e.: horsemen can move more squares forward than the footmen). The order of each unit is decided by whoever has the highest morale during a day of battle. The battlefield's terrain also affects how armies can proceed on the map. After a successful move, the army will be asked to face either north, south, west, or east. Their positioning affects the unit's capability to defend from attacks or help allies.

32. A JRPG from a long running series, this entry was the first to put a lot of budget in graphics.
31. Souls meets 3 kingdoms China, this entry however is closer to Sekiro than Dark Souls.
30. Another JRPG from 2022, this game features dungeons within the main characters themselves.
29. This JRPG is unlike others, because it is set on the streets of modern Tokyo.
28. This 2015/2016 JRPG is from a media franchise that used to rival Pokemon
27. This JRPG is kind of a celebration of a certain JRPG series, the world is full of famous characters.
26. This 2022 JRPG released to universal acclaim, featuring an open world more monstrous than anyone could have imagined.
25. This is the first direct sequel to one of the games in the main series, though it seemed to add more questions than answers.
24. This game featured more of gothic/horror theme.

Might as well try to guess a few of these.

32: Could be Dragon Quest VIII

29: The World Ends With You?

28: I guess this could be Yo-kai Watch.

25: Bit of a longshot, but Final Fantasy X-2?

24: Shadow Hearts?

Only 25 is correct.
