This is a weird one. I've been looking for a game for years and I've had no luck. My uncle took me on one of his drug deals, as he did very often and I played someone's ps1 or ps2 while they got high. All I know about this RPG/JRPG I played is there were summons and I can vividly remember the 2d world map. There was a mine/tunnel area and some kind of grand library or mansion area. I've been looking for this game for 20 years now with no luck. If I see the world map I'll recognize it instantly. So many of the RPGs of that time had sprawling world maps, but this was very confined. One screen with very obvious images for each area. I would be eternally grateful if anyone could help me find this game.
Edit: The mine/tunnel area was in the middle/bottom of the world map and the grand library or mansion area was towards the top right if I remember correctly.
Legend of Mana?
Unfortunately no, it was definitely turned based and not an ARPG. The graphics weren't very different though.
You could try looking for a ‘compilation of PS1 jrpgs’ video on YouTube, showing gameplay of each game for half a minute. This could jostle the memory. And the same with ps2, if that doesn't work. However, afaiu there were a lot of jrpg games, so idk if anyone's made a comprehensive video.
Might have been Shadow Hearts (Covenant) ? Because I vividly remember a tunnel area between Wales and England I think ?
No unfortunately, it was a very bright game. The main thing I remember about it was the world map. The map was colorful and had images for the ecosystems or locations. Everytime I think about this game I spend a couple hours searching RPG world maps, but I've never found it lol.
