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!
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.
Tales of Arise is great. The whole Tales series is really great, but Arise really felt like that next step from niche to the preeminent example of a modern epic JRPG. Something Squeenix has been trying and largely failing to recapture.
absolutely backing up persona 4 golden, it’s such a treat especially if you liked persona 5! every so often i wish i could play p4 for the first time again, such a good game.
