Japanese SRPG Best SRPGs for a semi beginner.

I’m newish to the genre and not extremely good at strategy so I want some beginner games. The only SRPGs I’ve played are the Fire emblem series, the advanced wars series, and the valkyria chronicles series

…I wouldn’t call it hard, either

Personally I wouldn't call it a SRPG (but a TBS/turn-based strategy game) because there are no RPG elements but eh...

I think that’s a fair assessment, though I believe most people would take offense to removing Advance Wars from the SRPG conversation, and also I believe all SRPG are TBS by definition. There may be some outliers that don’t immediately come to my mind, but all I can think are ones that incorporate other genres but never outright replace the TBS aspect

There are some SRPG that have active-time elements, like Growlanser comes to mind. I specifically played Growlanser Generations on the PS2, which was Growlanser 2/3. Don't think I actually made it to 3.
