i would really suggest just starting with something like paper mario, tec. familiarity with the characters, the simplified battle system, and the kooky writing will help you get into it. obviously a classic final fantasy game is a good starting point as well because it's going to give you the standard great rpg experience, but for someone who has no real history with the genre, i'd still suggest mario

alright

i'm making a commitment to play paper mario 64 after i finish breath of the wild
