FF14 was the first thing that came to mind for me too. I put tons of time into WoW over the years and was pretty sick of that MMO formula, and never really cared for Final Fantasy either. People constantly heaping praise on FF14 got me to try the free trial, and whoops that game owns.

Then I played Dragon Quest XI and suddenly I'm a dipshit in my 30s finally learning that actually, JRPGs are good.

There's a lot of real bad ones as a warning

lol, of course. But it's a genre that I pretty much entirely ignored, except for Chrono Trigger and Persona 4 & 5, for a long-rear end time. There are a ton of gems out there to eventually catch up on.

SMT Nocturne just got a remaster and if you've got a Switch SMT V this fall

Zelda 2

I remember growing up hearing from people that it was bad and probably the worst or at least "lesser" entry in the series and I wound up enjoying the hell out of it more than a few of the modern ones and liked the challenge

It's top three Zelda games for me

MM, WW, AoL
