Want to try out a rpg. What's a first timer to try

FF VII was my first. And it was a great first love. Some of the more hard core thumb their nose at the game but you can't go wrong with it for a first imo. Fairly easy to get into, easy equipment/magic system etc.

I would recommend using a guide to get the most out of the game though. Don't think its possible for most people to get all the best equipment/magic in the game without one.

Star Odyssey, people. Star. Odyssey.

Many JRPGs are designed like that, unfortunately. Trying to drive additional income via selling associated strategy guides.

Luckily there is GameFAQs to circumvent that.
