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.

Sure my answer is probably rather boring, but these abstract games would be your recommondation of a jrpg? I haven't played them, so i can't really say how they are, but they looks kinda crazy.

They look crazy, but the gameplay is simple straight up jrpg. Probably only about 4 hours absolute game play on Hylics and probably about 6-8 on Hylics 2. I do a yearly replay of these games they are so great. 2 has better mechanics than 1 but they are both worth playing and interesting as hell. I am still pondering these games today 4 years later.

If it's that short and that cheap, you probably convinced me to give it a go at some point if i want something short to play.

1 is really short and cheap. 2 feels more like a complete game. I enjoyed them both heavily. The only issues I feel exist are adjusting resolution settings in 1 is awkward, theres no autosaves in 1, and that there was supposed to be a 3rd game dammit.
