Yall know that ‘Fallout’ was originally turn-based? No need for anything Japanese in there, the RPG system was pretty nice.
The nineties had some cool turn-based tactics games, like the ‘Jagged Alliance’ series and ‘X-Com’. Even realtime tactics were very nice in the isometric view, e.g. in ‘Commandos’. Now that everything needs to be in either first-person or third-person from behind, such games rarely pop up.

And there’s still the Wasteland series, which is what the isometric Fallout games heavily derived from.

‘Fallout’ isn’t just ‘derived from’, it’s a direct descendant of ‘Wasteland’, with some of the same people involved: Brian Fargo was the director on the original ‘Wasteland’, then founded Interplay aka the developer/publisher of ‘Fallout’ 1-2, and shortly thereafter inXile Entertainment that later developed ‘Wasteland’ 2 and 3.
Also, some of the folks who developed ‘Fallout’ made ‘Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura’, which is basically fantasy ‘Fallout’ — made by folks of Troika Games who previously made ‘Fallout’, and later ‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines’.
