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!

The original Final Fantasy 7. The gameplay is not difficult and straightforward, the story is still interesting, not too cookie cutter, compared to some SNES RPGs. It also has enough bells and whistles (e.g. cool limit breaks, summons) that might entice you to keep playing the game till the end.

Only thing I would recommend for a brand new player is to use an online strategy guide/walkthrough if and when you get stuck. FF7 definitely has some moments where it's not clear where you are supposed to go next. It was the product of an earlier era before your goals and objectives were clearly laid out in a menu at all times.
