I like jRPGs and figure Ill start with Final Fantasy. I know Ill want to play Rebirth as soon as I finish Remake, hence me dilemma.

XVI is more of an action rpg than a JRPG so you might like Remake a little better. They are both action-based but Remake also has elements closer to what you expect as well. XVI is basically full action.
I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.

Good to know. What other good jRPGs are there?

I'm no authority, I only really play Final Fantasy anymore in terms of modern JRPGs.

But I have heard Persona 5, Persona 3, Like a Dragon series, and the recent Unicorn Overlord are good!

Play XVI first, skip Remake entirely imo

Neither are really JRPGs in the traditional sense, though. I strongly recommend Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Dragon Quest XI if you haven't played those yet
MZero , to the extreme

I loved DQ11. I dont think Id like Persona or Yakuza based on videos.

I cant believe how confusing this is lol. I am looking at physical Intergrade copies but all the reviews say the DLC code is only applicable in UK??

They're probably selling UK copies to save money

I see PSO has twin package of Intergrade and Rebirth for $100, but I want physical copies.

Must be out of print. The PS5 version is currently unavailable on Amazon.

So I can still get Intergrade but just not the DLC?

I think? Like, the PS5 version should be Intergrade. The DLC code should be some trinkets and summon materia at most, which you can buy on PSN if you care. This is all because SE got very particular with who was entitled to a free PS5 upgrade and what was included for said people (Not the Yuffie episode).
