            Yes, actually. Anything post-renaissance is modern.

            I think Slayheim is meant to be the Russian Revolution with nukes/Angel Weapons. WA4 follows this up being set in a post-cold war setting.

                Wrong, historians define the post-renaissance as "early modern." If you're talking about literature/art movements, you are correct, though.

                War on an industrial scale forever changed our society and outlook for the worse, nukes and the internet only exacerbated our modern anxieties/alienation. I'd say the World Wars are a damn good cutoff point for what I consider to be the "modern era" that we live in.

                Stfu sanctimonious brainwashed homosexuals, historians are morons who don't even understand the significant societal changes brought along by the industrial revolution ALONE. Historians want you to believe the enlightenment era was more important than it actually was when it was just another footnote of a decadent empire in the grand scheme of things.

    As others have said, SMT, though it depends on the game (I and III are post-apoc, II is futuristic and kinda Cyberpunk) and the related subseries tend to be as well (the devil summoner series is largely urban, Persona although the later games utilize more fantastical settings for the dungeons)
    Falcom probably has some series that takes place in settings close to modern times.
    If you don't mind quirkiness, the Mario RPGs tend to have more 'contemporary' settings, particularly Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door.
    There's also options for games with more futuristic settings like the Star Ocean or Phantasy Star games.

              If you think that's bad, this proves indeed that artists for sci fi have no sense of scale. Then again, Trantor is supposed to be about the size of Titan.

    Sci-fi settings

    Infinite Space
    Megaman Battle Network
    Megaman Star Force
    Shadowrun
    Xenosaga
    Xenoblade X
    Resonance of Fate

    You might want to check out Star Ocean but those are a bit different, they're Star Trek age spacefaring sci-fi settings but typically start with the characters stranded on pre-spaceflight generic middle ages fantasy setting planets. Most of them take you off the fantasy setting planets and put you in real sci-fi settings later on though.

    Your taste for the sequels may vary but the first Persona is top tier classic JRPG.

    Unfortunately there is no way to really play it. The Atlus North American version has the best music and characterization, but it is missing a major side quest that is arguably the best part of the game itself (not to mention if you don't emulate it's super rare). The PSP remake butchers the music and characters but includes the side quest (as well as reverting all the characters back to their bland soulless Jap designs).
