JRPGs are built around a party you get attached to, a long story with room for big emotional swings, and combat systems that often feel unlike anything else. On PC the genre is well covered, from pixel-art comedies to cinematic blockbusters, so the first question is what kind of combat you want: classic turn-based menus, action-oriented fights, or something in between.
If you like turn-based battles with a modern twist, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 adds parrying to a dark fantasy, party-based story, while Persona 5 Royal wraps its turn-based fights in a very stylish, anime-flavored presentation. Honkai: Star Rail is another turn-based pick with a sci-fi setting and a party-based, story-rich structure. For something lighter and shorter in spirit, Undertale and Deltarune both mix comedy, pixel art and turn-based combat, and Child of Light offers a hand-drawn fairy tale with party-based battles.
If you prefer action, Final Fantasy VII Remake combines action RPG combat with a cinematic, party-based sci-fi story, and Final Fantasy XV adds an open world. Older fans of the genre may enjoy Final Fantasy IX as a classic turn-based fantasy. Also consider how much story you want: nearly all of these lean heavily on narrative, so expect to settle in rather than play in short bursts.
Undertale is a gentle entry point with simple turn-based combat, comedy and pixel art. Final Fantasy VII Remake is also approachable if you prefer action combat and a cinematic story.
