The only JRPGs I remember playing is one sonic flash fan game on some old website and that one Ubisoft offshoot game “Child of Light” back when they weren’t just milking Assassin’s Creed IP, so I’m somewhat familiar with the gameplay. I’ll follow your advice and start with 5 and get into older ones if I like 5.
The thing that made me want to try out the games is seeing screenshots of 5 and thinking “this UI and overall art style looks cool as fuck” and then hearing good music in YouTube videos/memes and finding out that it’s from Persona
“this UI and overall art style looks cool as fuck” and then hearing good music
The level of polish on the games is really what makes it shine. For me, I have a tough time finishing jrpg’s in general because they get pretty tedious after pkaying a while, but the music alone made me want to continue to play. It’s just so good.
If you really like P5R and want to try the others, a remake of 3 was recently released, called Persona 3 Reloaded, and another one for 4 is coming out in the next year or two. That helps make it not feel like you’re missing out on quality of life improvements if you want to go backwards in the series. Except for common themes, all the games have distinct story’s so you don’t need to worry about missing out on plot on anything.
