Incorrect. Mnementh after you correctly guessed the game to a Star Trek game (but he didn't guess the right one).

30 is indeed a Star Trek game. I realise there's multiple that could fit with the hints, but at least, it's not Bridge Crew.

27 is quite close, and again you have the right series. I played SimTown as a kid, was fun enough, but I'm looking for another 'Sim' game much more important to me.

Correct!

Hints for 40-33 JRPGs

40- Tactical JRPG set in China. 1st game in the series.

39- 15th game in the series for a certain JRPG series. Features boy band as main characters.

38- A PSP game gone HD, this game features a main story with an entire classroom of characters named in some way after a deck of cards.

37- 2nd game in a tactical JRPG series. The main character uses fists unlike most main characters in the series.

36- An amazing game released in 2023, features insanely cinematic boss fights and darker story compared to usual.

35- This game mixes a famous JRPG series and Dynasty Warriors, killing hordes of JRPG monsters never felt so good.

34- Same as 35, but 2nd game in the series. Basically more of the same but slightly better.

33- This 2022 game tries to mix the challenge of Soulslike with the familiarity of FF.

Elite Force/Elite Force 2?

The original Valkyria Chronicles is one of my absolute favourite games of all time, and to my great delight it proved to be an unexpected success back in 2008. I was anticipating another home console sequel to be announced relatively quickly, but then it turned out the next game in the series would be released on the PSP instead. That wasn't a huge issue in the end, and I liked the game, but it was definitely held back by its platform, and failed to sell nearly as much as the first game, especially in the west. Following this, the third game was never even released outside of Japan as the PSP really wasn't doing very well in the west at that point. As a result, for quite a few years it felt like the series was effectively dead. Then finally, Valkyria Chronicles 4 was announced for home consoles and eventually released in 2018, making this without question one of the longest waits for a game I've ever experienced. Fortunately, it more than lived up to my expectations.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is not quite on the level of the first game, mostly because I liked the story and characters in the first game just a little bit more, even if the ones we got here are great too. On the gameplay side there are some great improvements and additions made to what we had in the earlier games, including a new character class and some more variety and improvements to the existing ones. Visually, this is a beautiful game, the anime-inspired, watercolor-esque style creating some truly impressive moments. The score is fantastic as well, composed by highly talented Hitoshi Sakimoto. This is without question a worthy follow-up to the first game, and hopefully we don't have to wait another ten years for the next title in the series.

#27: Maybe SimIsle then?

#39: FFXV

#36: Probably FFXVI

#35: Hyrule Warriors, even though I don't see Zelda as JRPG, see 34 for explanation.

#34: I thought of Persona Strikers as #35. But I don't think Strikers has a sequel yet. So maybe you count Zelda as JRPG? Which would make it Age of Calamity

If Mnementh is wrong about the Zelda thing then 35 and 34 could be Fire Emblem Warriors and Three Hopes

38: Final Fantasy Type-0 HD

33: Stranger of Paradise?

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.

37- 2nd game in a tactical JRPG series. The main character uses fists unlike most main characters in the series. The 7th game in this series recently released.

35- This game mixes a famous JRPG series and Dynasty Warriors, killing hordes of JRPG monsters never felt so good. Iconic monsters can be killed and the characters from all over the series can be played.

34- Same as 35, but 2nd game in the series. Basically more of the same but slightly better. In this one you can summon those monsters to defend a point or to help the offensive.
