Just stumbled across this community on my all feed and subscribed right away!

Now that I’ve played P5R I’m glad that I decided to go P4 -> P3 -> P5 for this exact reason! I don’t think I’d have enjoyed P3 as much if I knew the QoL improvements I was missing.

If you enjoyed Persona 5 then I can definitely recommend Persona 4! Persona 4 Golden is actually what got me into JRPGs when it was released on Steam a couple years ago.

But if you want to try different series some I’ve enjoyed and think would be beginner friendly are:

• Dragon Quest XI S
• Final Fantasy VII Remake
• Tales of Arise

I’d also recommend Chrono Trigger if you want to check out an old classic.
