I recently played Battle Chasers: Nightwar and was reminded how much I enjoy turn based combat where you can see and manipulate the turn order, like in FFX and an Atelier game I played on PS2. Any modern games, preferably available on Switch, like that?
On a similar subject I'm currently playing Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and there aren't any Final Fantasy Tactics, FFT:A, or FFT:A2 remakes currently out, so I'm looking for anything that uses the same combat system as them, again on Switch.
I'm not familiar with the games you've mentioned but I believe Fire Emblem: Three Houses might be relevant (on Switch). My sister in law was playing it one time we were staying at theirs. I was encouraged to give it a whirl. Had several very late nights honing my team.
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is an entertaining love letter to the FFT games. It's a little rough around the edges but I think it's worth checking out.
I couldn't get through it and I can't remember all the reasons but I recall the main character being totally insufferable.
Seconded the Fire Emblem and Fell Seal recommendations, and adding in Front Mission, which has remakes on Switch.
A big part of the battle system in the Trails series is seeing and manipulating the turn order, but only some of those games are on the Switch, in the West at least.
I can't remember if Octopath Traveler lets you manipulate the turn order, but regardless it is in the same genre, available on switch, and is just a really good game.
