I remember playing Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood on NDS waay back, really enjoyed the game. I wish sega would make a new sonic rpg like it one of these days. Also the game actually has that optional Amy/Sonic ship subplot option in a true bioware rpg fashion lol depending on your dialogue responses during conversation scenes involving Amy throughout the game, you could get a scene where Sonic reciprocates her feelings during the final chapter lol funny stuff.
Takashi Iizuka also said he hopes Sonic Team’s next project will be a story-driven game. he also likes the RPG genre, and said back in 2024 on wanting to work on a proper Sonic Team-developed Sonic RPG before retiring.
"Personally, I really like role-playing games."
