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!

Final Fantasy VI, AKA Final Fantasy III, as it was called stateside when I first played it in the 90s (I bought it at Media Play, anyone remember that?).

Great cast of recruitable characters that isn't too large, in my opinion, and the Esper system is pretty great. Also, for me, one of the most impactful JRPG storylines of all time.

Have fun, whatever you choose! It's a great genre, but time consuming. If a game doesn't click for you within 15 or so hours, it may not be one for you.

And the Pixel Remaster updated versions of the 1st 6 games are pretty decent.
