What are two jrpgs i should play if the first one is to try and hook a new player into jrpgs the second is the best jrpg you would reccomend to other people (not necessarily ‘the best jrpg’). I’m new here and looking to try some jrpgs out. Thanks.

    Usually if someone ask me something like that, i would ask if the person would try rather retro games or newer one. If the person would rather try a turn based game or some action rpg. But i try to recommend something without those informations.

    I guess a game for a beginner, i probably biased, but i would just go with one of the older Final Fantasy, i would probably recommend just Final Fantasy X. JRPGs tend to be a bit longer, but Final Fantasy game doesn’t take you, with a normal playthrough, 100 hours, but just arround 40 hours. I would say that’s still aceptable.

    And a jrpg i would recommend…probably A legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (1st Chapter). Don’t play this as first, but get addicted into the series and never run out of games…

    If you rather like to start with an action game instead of turn based combat, i would probably say Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
