It's so cheese-tastic, but if you're a fan of the Dynasty Warriors games (or ROTK in general), it's the OG Pokémon game. There are a couple of fan translation patches out there that fix some of the more inscrutably shitty dialogue (like your second run-in with Lu Bu), so those might be worth looking into. Also find a translation for the different tactics' (read: spells) names, since they're in Pinyin.
And learn from my trial and error from my teen years: no, you can't recruit Jia Xu no matter how hard you try. They kept him somewhat canonical in that regard, since IIRC he wound up being a minor official in the early days of the Jin Dynasty, so he wouldn't have been shacking up with the Shu Han boys, whether at crossbow-point, for a bribe, or for a pony.
Edit: This is the ROMhack version that you want (linked directly from the forum page, not the one on the "official" homepage):

Thanks for reminding me I need to play that.

While it was never officially released in the US, Sweet Home is another Capcom RPG that deserves more love.
I've played the translation of sweet home and enjoyed it! The movie is great too. Resident Evil did it justice as a spiritual remake.
