Jrpgs for a beginner (sopuli.xyz)

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!

Are you into pixel art?

If so, I would recommend:

Chrono Trigger is a genre-defining classic and definitely still enjoyable IMO. The difficulty is quite easy overall and the game doesn't require any real grinding.
If you want something more fresh, Chained Echoes is a modern take on a lot of classic JRPG formulas, but still retains a lot of that great classic feel and beautiful pixel art.

If you're more interested in 3D stuff, Final Fantasy VII Remake is an excellent JRPG. While not turn based, it is accessible to beginners as you can tone down the difficulty a lot. Also, don't worry about the "VII" - you don't really need to know anything going into it.

Chained Echoes is a good one, it's got some depth to it, but it's not overly complex and feels pretty classic

I have had chained echoes on my wishlist for a pretty long time and I will probably buy it. It looks really good and I like pixel art but also want something more modern.

It really is worth it. One of my favourites this year so far.
