Tabletop homebrew based on 90s JPRG, best options?

[thefeywild]

I'm planning a homebrew based on the PSone game "The Legend of Dragoon". I'm a DM for two D&D 5e games, so I've been planning to adapt for that system, but on another forum I've had several comments that other game systems may adapt better. Does anyone have experience adapting stories from video games to tabletop and have suggestions on what system may be a good fit?

Well, I've never played Legend of Dragoon, but what system you use would be pretty dependent on how the game in question plays. For example, what's character generation like? Are there preset characters like in FFX or is there a lot of custom creation?

Legend of Dragoon! Man haven't played that in years. The battle had a peculiar time based element to it where you had to hit a button at a certain time for hits...kinda sorta like a rhythm game but just for that aspect.

I am working on a solo/cooperative simple & fast-paced game system based on a JRPG named Dragon Quest.
