any of the 5 games is fine as an introduction to the series but I think if you’re gonna play any, you’ll probably have a better time with P3R (newest remake of what is arguably the only Good game in the series) or 5 (most recent non-remake). I’d recommend if you do play 5 that you get the Royal edition but there’s nothing wrong with just playing the base game (you just miss the DLC addition to the story). Same goes for P3R. You don’t need Episode Aigis to enjoy the story as a whole, but it is nice.
anyways I’ll be the one to say play a real Shin Megami Tensei Game and play SMT V available on the Nintendo Switch, Steam Storefront, and easily pirated. And join me online on my favorite MMO Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine (rip i miss you wholeheartedly they should make another SMT mmo where I can get a Cerberus)
P3R > P5
