I am a huge fan of JRPGs, so much so that I have at least dabbled in as many series and franchises as I can. With most series, I find myself getting overwhelmed, swamped by the sheer number of releases, complex naming conventions, and the length of each game. When I find myself reaching that point, I’ll abandon it altogether, likely having had a good time but feeling content that I no longer need to invest hundreds of hours in it. This happened with the Tales series and later with Shin Megami and its spin-off, Persona.
