    Chrono Cross because the combat is actually fun, the rest is phenomenal but the main thing is the combat isn't boring

      FF6 is a classic. Try panzer dragoon saga and mother 3 also.

      Bravely Default 1/Second/2
      Octopath Traveler
      Crystal Project
      Dragon Quest 8/11

      bad bait

      Paper Mario 64 is a great one to start with.

      Chrono Trigger.

      Persona 5 Royal, it’s easy as shit but it has the most polished turn based combat in the industry and it’s really fast paced

      Actual decent responses.

        Is FF6 the sort of game you can just pick up and play, or is it full of boomer design that you have to adjust to? Tried to play FF7 a couple times but couldn’t get into it.

          You probably wouldn't like ff6 if you couldn't get into ff7

          ff6 is a game you need to keep playing or you will forget what to do and where you are going
          i think ff6 is much better than 7 but it's also more complicated

          What is "boomer design" that you would have to get used to? I'm 18 and never had a problem with FF6, played it first time when I was 13.

          Ff7 is fricking kino you just have to give it time to grow on you. There's nothing like it you are missing out.

          Final Fantasy I/IV/VI/VII/X

          FFVII is one of the only games I played where the "it gets good x hours in" meme is true, give it another try and at least play till you are out of Midgar. I tried playing it 3 times and quit early each time and managed to play it for longer and now I think it is a masterpiece

        This is actually trolling you by the way.

        Either that or he has the most reddit fricking taste.

      Came here to say this, definitely start with this one OP. It's not particularly hard and the battle system isn't all that complicated, however it's still fun and the art style makes it hold up really well. It also doesn't overstay its welcome, it won't be a 120 hour slog unless you want it to be (and I don't know why anyone would).

    For zoom zooms, I would say FF7 Remake. It has all the flashiness of modern games and it's action oriented enough to appeal to a person who never touched turn based games.

    An older boomer who simply missed out, there is always Chrono Trigger. It's short, easy and no filler bullshit that plagues most SNES and early Playstation titles.
