Because nobody has 70 hours to dedicate to killing slime monsters.

Why it’s good for beginners: Despite being 20 years old, Chrono Trigger continues to be one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and everything about the original game still holds up to this day. Because of it’s intuitive combat system and snappy gameplay, it makes for a good entry-point for anyone who has never played a JRPG before. It also has an incredibly compelling story that will keep you going through the 20+ hours of gameplay.
How to play it: There’s a version for iPhone and Android, which is convenient, but it’s not the best way to experience the game. You’d probably be better off picking up a Nintendo DS cart of the game or downloading it for the Virtual Console on the Wii.

Why it’s good for beginners: Listen, I get it. There’s only so many sprites with swapped color palettes that one person can take. Especially when you’re looking at them for like 70 hours of monotonous gameplay. That’s RPGs at their worst. Skyrim isn’t that. It’s still got a lot of RPG elements: swords and sorcery, a complex leveling system that grows and evolves, a huge world that’s really fun to explore… but it pulls it off in a more accessible way for people who aren’t down with classic RPGs.
How to play it: It’s a semi-modern game, so all you need is a Playstation 3, or an Xbox 360, or a fairly recent PC to play it on. A lot of game shops will likely still have pre-owned copies of the game for cheap.
