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.

      Thanks for the recommendations! Tales of Arise and persona 4 seem interesting so I try them out!

      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.
