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.

My favourite JRPG of all time is Trails in the Sky 2 (SC/Second Chapter). It requires having played Trails in the Sky 1 (FC/First Chapter), but it's up at the top.

For a first-timer, I might suggest things like...

  • Super Mario RPG
  • Paper Mario: TTYD
  • Pokemon of some sort if you have any nostalgia or sentiment towards the series
  • uhh...well, the rest depends. And I haven't played enough modern RPGs to know how much more accessible those are.
