By "modern day," I obviously mean whenever the game first came out, so Earthbound would still count. I was thinking about this earlier and came up with the Mother series, VtMB, and Persona.

FFVII actually has more or less contemporary technology, even though it obviously takes place on an imaginary planet.

I'd say FFVIII is even more "modern day" than FFVII is.

If we're talking "modern day" but still in a fantasy world then FFXV is easily prime example from the FF series.

I mean, kinda, but Esthar is far more technologically advanced than anything in FFXV's world. I guess it's an isolated example, but still.

The credits sequence definitely reveals that the world above is essentially our world.

Contact (DS) is a blast. Clearly inspired by EarthBound in some ways (many people mistook the professor character for Dr. Andonuts - I vaguely remember a print ad making a joke about this, but I can't find it), yet distinct thanks to offbeat gameplay and Suda51 being at the helm. Can't recommend it enough.
