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!

    Not seeing it mentioned anywhere, but if you manage to emulate mother/earthbound and start getting into it you’re in for a wild ride.

    Those game made the history not only of jrpgs, but of videogames in general.

    Furthermore, thier spiritual successors are contemporary classics, like Undertale and OMORI (which are both more story-heavy than gameplay-heavy)

      I have played Undertale and it’s definitely in my top 3 favourite games. I have to look more into Omori though. My main concern with it is that it looks pretty dark but maybe it’s fun, I don’t know.

        It’s fun alright, if you liked undertale you’ll probably like OMORI too (heavily inspired by mother, same kind of humor, multiple routes and endings, amazing setting and characters), even though it’s definitely darker
