I feel like grinding levels. Looking for something NOT turn based, kind of hack and slash-y. For instance, I just tried out Valkyrie Profile 2, and found the combat kind of clunky with the whole party being controlled at once and limited by AP and weapon attack caps.

Im struggling to find more ways to describe what im looking for, so drop what you think fits and ill look it up and check some gameplay!

The Xenoblade Chronicles franchise. XC2 in particular is amazing, fantastic soundtrack, combat fits your requirements.

Ys 8 Lacrimosa of Dana is also a solid one for the switch that could scratch the itch you mention.

Btw, the term you seem to be looking for is action jrpg.
