Atelier Series
A cutesy series about doing alchemy and running a shop while also doing JRPG things. This is a series we always wanted to play when we were younger but avoided it due to fear of being seen as "too girly".
This series has a bunch of different sub-series, so I'll split things up.

Rune Factory Subseries
Rune Factory is Harvest Moon but you get to stab monsters and explore dungeons. It's otherwise the same.
I've also included Innocent Life here because it's another similar spinoff even though it's not the same.

The Natsume Harvest Moon Games
Around 2014, there was a trademark dispute. The original devs had to rename the games to Story of Seasons from that point on, and Natsume decided to make new games with the Harvest Moon trademark since they owned it. These are generally considered worse than the mainline games, but they apparently hit their stride with the new one (which also finally has gay way after Story of Seasons).

Yakuza Series
This is a crime drama soap opera with over-the-top comic book violence and wild tone shifts between silly and serious. It's the best.
