I've had interest in trying out some of the PC games I missed out on in my youth, but especially with the RPGs it's so daunting to be just dropped in with no guidance or idsa what you're supposed to be doing, that I haven't gotten through any of them yet

I loved JRPGs growing up, but good lord do a lot of them not hold up these days. Probably doesn't help that a lot of the ones that don't tended to have pretty spotty translations, on top of everything else.
