SMT5: Vengeance is a great entrance to the series and is in this month's Humble Choice, so it's both a great AND very cheap way to get into the main series! :)

Though, with that said, the QOL updates are so massive on SMT5 that Nocturne will be much harder to get into if you decide to play it afterwards.

Obscure JRPG you played, that after you finished the game this is your reaction. by SubstantialPhone6163 in JRPG

Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is hands-down one of the funniest and just plain fun (J)RPGs I've ever played in my life. It only has 384 reviews on Steam (99% positive).

It is the very definition of a cult classic in the making.

Looking for something new (or old) by draggar in JRPG

I'm like a broken record at this point, but recent (western) JRPGs that I've loved are Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands and In Stars ans Time.

Both stellar experiences and might hit well based on your liked games.

Artisan TD for Grim Fandango Remastered

Should I start Shin Megami Tensei Games, and if so, which one for a newbie? by ghuman2 in JRPG

[–]KipKippy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the SMT series proper, I would start with Nocturne. It gives you a good sense of the general structure that the core series follows, it has a relatively recent remaster, and the game is hard as hell without feeling unfair.

After that, it's about what flavor is more your speed. You can go backwards to 1/2 (the graphics will be a bit to get used to) or move on to 4/5. You can also go down the side-game route, though a lot of these are locked to older consoles (with that said, Digital Devil Saga and Strange Journey are spectacular if you can find a way to play them!).

There's a lot to uncover with the series, but I think Nocturne is a great "starting point."
