Didn't notice you in the Dragon quest 11 thread, but you can definitely set your team to auto play thru that, and up the speed too, until it feels almost like an action RPG.
I'd only ever played a bit of DQ8 before, which was rather slow going. But DQ11 is now one of many favourite games of all time, with great characters, well acted in English, and an easy to follow story. Plus, the greatest 'airship' ever seen in gaming.
Alternatively, I'll be playing the switch remake of Xenoblade Chronicles later in the year, which can also be rather hands off.
