Do you prefer first person perspective or third person when reading a high fantasy novel?

I know this topic is probably quite subjective, but I recently saw a massive debate online about the preference that people have when reading books written in first person versus third person perspective. Some people preferred first person as they felt they were more emotionally invested in the story, whereas others found it difficult to read first person.

I’m interested to know what people’s opinion/preference is and why. I’m also particularly interested in your thoughts when it comes to high fantasy novels. I’m not talking from an authors’ perspective, but from a readers. What do you prefer?

You’d swear Sydney has only recently gotten a train system in place due to the complete lack of train etiquette / common sense. Do people in Sydney not understand that you have to WAIT for people to disembark before you try ram yourself onto the train?

And there’s always so much aggression from the people getting on the train, like they legitimately think they’re in the right and everybody else needs to move out their way? Never experienced this anywhere else in the world, it’s so bizarre.
