Hello everyone! I really want to get into the jrpg genre but I have no idea which game would be good for a beginner. I have played persona 5 and I really enjoyed it. Any recommendations would be really appreciated!
These suggestions are all great. I would firstly pitch Earthbound, which is an offbeat example of the genre with its bizarro take on urban fantasy. The art and music are terrific and the whole experience is just really memorable and sweet.
I also want to pitch Final Fantasy 9 especially if you play on PC with the lovely Moguri Mod.
It’s an accessible example of the genre with a great story and well written party members, and the mod updates the look of the game to GORGEOUS effect while also providing some handy quality of life options (e.g. switching on/off random enemy encounters).
