Looking for real-time RPGs with combat based around positioning (discuss.tchncs.de)

It's probably a really specific thing I'm looking for: after playing Xenoblade Chronicles, I've been craving for a game with similar combat, but with greater focus on positioning around enemies and I can't find much.

The other games closest to what I'm looking for that i can think of would be Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter (especially before GU and World), but I've played enough of them to be a bit burnt out. Another game I though would be similar is Atelier Yumia, but it ended up feeling a bit shallow.

Any recommendations?

Oh yea, I forgot about that series. I have the first two games, but haven't really played much. I remember trying the first one a few years ago looking for something to play after MHW, but I think I dismissed them because of the higher speed and less weight in combat. I'll have to try them again.

Another Monster Hunter "clone" I should probably try is Toukiden.
