What do you think would be a good game to start jrpg’s if you haven’t played one or not much? I always think Persona 5 is probably a good starting point, but there are a few problems. The person i would recommend it is probably to young for a game rated for 16 year old people in my country. And the socialising aspect is probably not very typical for most jrpg’s. Is probably a retro game better with a good story. I just don’t know it, so i would like to know your opinion.
Probably one of the newer Dragon Quest games (DQ11, for example).
They’re watered down enough to be more palatable than starting off at something like Final Fantasy 1, but they’re not so watered down that they’ve become entirely an action rpg.
Even though I never finished it, DQ11 had turn based combat and the gameplay generally felt more or less the same as other games I later tried playing such as Grandia, Ys Seven, and so on. It felt just as “JRPG” as the rest.
