The wife wants to get more into games. She likes turn based, can't really handle walking and using the camera at the same time.

But she cannot stand traditional jrpg cringy dialogue. Or when women are like Cowboy Bebop Faye outfits.

what does that leave us with?

On switch or ps5

Get a dungeon crawler. Etrian Odyssey, Stranger of Sword City, or something like that

Get something basic like one of the earlier Dragon Quests (I'm not sure if III HD Remake fits your criteria, but the original would even if it is a mobile phone port).

Metaphor should be fine. There's like, one scantily-clad woman and she's only a side character.

Bg3 is gonna be the pick I think. We can do co-op too as long as it functions on consoles.

id recommend smt nocturne because it just straight up doesnt have that, but its definitely not for newcomers to the genre

Maybe keep note of it for later

Anything with prerendered backgrounds. She wont have to worry about cameras. Stuff like FF7-9 would be up her interests.

Mario RPG remake.
Persona 3-4 (5 has heavy camera use)
Tactics ogre (although it might be too complex) or FFT
FF pixel Remaster
Paper Mario
Mario and Luigi
Baten Kaitos collection

Tactics Ogre Reborn (Both consoles) - kinda similar to FFT with "ye olde" English sort of dialogue. I never played with voice acting but I dont imagine it's "anime sounding"

Final Fantasy X (Both consoles?) if she doesn't mind Lulu's design

A more out there recommendations that I would personally recommend is...

SaGa Scarlet Grace (Both consoles) is pretty light on story, and I dont recall the game having any fan service designs. No camera to fiddle with as youre basically alwaya moving on a world map when youre not battling. Just remember its a SaGa game.
