Discussion Daily /r/Games Discussion - Suggest Me a Game - December 25, 2024

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Looking to start a new JRPG (never really played one, apart from Pokémon).

Deciding between Like a Dragon, FFVII Remake and Persona 5 Royale.

those are all good choices, i would just go with whichever setting sounds the most interesting to you.

Thanks. I've recently finished Yakuza 0, which I enjoyed, but think I want a break from the setting. I've never played a Final Fantasy game before, so thought this might be a decent entry point, but I've heard the remake has some unnecessary story choices in it (but would open up Rebirth to me).

I've also never played a Persona game, but the style and music seem quite attractive

you could totally start Remake with no problems, i have some friends who started there and they loved it.

P5 is great too, monster collecting, high school time management, battles a bit like pokemon, very long but the music never gets old.

Atlus (the studio behind Persona) makes a really slick game in terms of great visuals and music. 

They also released a high fantasy jrpg this last year, Metaphor Refantazio. It's not part of the Persona series but it borrows a lot in terms of game design from Persona, so if that setting is more interesting to you, you might want to consider it too. 

Persona 5 was fantastic though, don't get me wrong. 

I can't speak to newer Final Fantasy games. Maybe I'll try one of them in 2025.
