Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond is the second part of a planned trilogy. I've found the first part "Old North" and its prequel DLC Howl of the Ravager to be a pretty enjoyable JRPG. Decent story, characters, and art, and far less mindless grindy combat than the typical JRPG. Combat system is actually pretty fun, with a nice variety of special abilities and tactics.
Honestly, with a few exceptions (e.g., Growlanser, Radiant Historia) I generally dislike JRPGs because of the repetitive gameplay, very linear structures, and tendency to have cliche plots with very young or otherwise immature characters. Celestian Tales features a more mature story, with a few choices that give it some depth. And the choices you made in the first installment should have some consequences in the 2nd part. IOW it's a JRPG for WRPG players who generally don't love JRPGs.
