The obvious answers are usually older JRPGs that you didn't play until they were 10 y/o or older. Such games have mechanics that tend not to age well, which is why having a good story is the most important thing in the genre. I continue playing them so long as I'm enjoying the story, unless I find the gameplay so bad or dated that I just can't.

For example, Persona 3 has a lot of issues with its battle system, such as a hugely imbalanced party, no ability to control your allies, and the early effects of the fatigue system. That does not change that the main narrative is fantastic (though almost all of the S-Links kinda suck). Much of this was rectified in Portable, thankfully.

I played Suikoden V recently and the game was pretty good despite me finding the battle system exhausting and slow. Suikoden II had quick battles that felt less tiring. Still like V quite a bit.

Those were the two examples that came to mind. I do enjoy the Ace Attorney logic mechanics for the most part, even if there are some instances where there should be multiple paths to the same conclusions. The story there is the best part. I plan to play Danganronpa later this year!
