S3E48 - Best RPG Video Games for Beginners - “So interesting but so intimidating”

Best RPG Video Games for Newbies and Beginners


In this episode:


We got asked on Twitter where the best place to begin with
RPGs would be. Between Western RPGs like Skyrim and the jRPG
genre like Final Fantasy, we thought this would make a great
topic for a cast.

Starting RPGs can be intimidating because they're typically
dozens of hours long, with lots of mechanics and intricate battle
and progression systems. 

We wanted to break it down so that you knew there are easily
accessible options out there if you want to give the genre a try.
Like Final Fantasy X and Dragon Quest XIII. We even talk about
how Pokemon (specifically Let's Go! Eevee is a great starting
point for everyone).

We don't really cover action RPGs in this (Kingdom Hearts,
Zelda, etc.) because we feel as though they deserve an episode
all on their own. However, Kingdom Hearts is a great place to
start, as is Breath of the Wild.

If you've never tried an RPG before and want to just get into
the genre without worrying about a lot of baggage, give Skyrim a
shot. It's on almost every platform, is totally affordable, and
really brought (Western) RPGs to the masses. You will probably
drop hundreds of hours in like most of us do.

And if you have any questions, feel free to ask on Twitter,
Discord, or Slack.
