    To any new Persona fans, I'll say this. Until you've beaten the games you're interested in, IGNORE THE FANBASE! Not everyone is like this but, like any other fanbase, you always run the risk of finding someone who either loves to trash on the game you love or spoil the crap out of it. Now as for my order, I would agree Persona 4 is the best start followed by Persona 2, either of them. The order doesn't matter. In my experience, those who don't play an original Persona game early on, tend to find it harder to get into which is a shame because they are good games. So I would suggest either of the Persona 2s just for a taste to see if they like it. After that, the order is up to them

    Here's the order I played them in: 3 > 4 > 5 > 1 > 2. Overall, I agree that 4 is probably the best place to start for _just Persona_ . But if you think you might become interested in Megami Tensei as a whole down the line, I think Persona 3 (vanilla or FES) is a better starting place. It's around the difficulty of most Megaten games in my opinion. You'll learn a lot of good habits to have for most SMT games without becoming dependent on the handicaps 4 and 5 give you. If you can beat Persona 3, then you can definitely handle most Megaten games.

    Persona 3 at normal and hard is more difficult than any SMT game actually. The difficulty was dumbed down, by Persona standards at least, in P4 and when Catherine came out fans were demanding for a "P3 level of challenge" despite the fact the game wasn't a JRPG. But when Catherine came out in Japan, the highest difficulty mode in the game was way too brutal and they had to patch it to make it less frustrating. Still immensely difficult, though. Most of the SMT games in Hard Mode are easier than P3 in normal mode. I'm not counting the useless P3 Portable which is an embarrassing version of the game.

    I personally believe they fit into two trilogies, and you'll wanna start with 3, 4, and 5 in any order you want before trying the other trilogy, being 1, 2:IS, and 2:EP. The 3/4/5 trilogy are not just the most accessible ones to play, but also have fantastic stories that just about anyone can enjoy. Plus, there's a whole plethora of spin-offs to keep your attention after just these three. The trilogy of 1/2:IS/2:EP is one that you'd wanna take interest in on your own accord, and 1 is especially not for everyone; if you don't wanna play them, you most likely won't.

    Agree that the first 3 games aren't for the current generations, since the format in terms of storytelling and gameplay is way too different. Atlus might not have remakes for the first games due to legal reasons, since the old creators left Atlus years ago, narrative reasons, and main objective is to move the story forward through spin off continuation stories and mainlines. For now Persona 4 Golden is the most accessible due to the addition of Steam port, which will be the best starting point of the neo generation series. Likely down the road, the future mainlines and continuation stories might have simultaneous worldwide release like SMT5, with multiplatforms, since they recently have recruit requirements of operating Unreal Engine. For the P5 gen games, playing Royal version will help in understanding Strikers and potentially, more continuation stories. So far some players noticed the pattern of both games; redhair girls assigned Arcana are the theological virutes within the visconti tarot, adult males under non-standard Arcana, both scenarios are caused by mass cognition researchers. Some of the story concepts in Strikers uses the unused concepts within Royal; viewing the targets past, the reason of the distortion. Considering the pattern, it won't be a surprise to have an upcoming post Royal story, which involves another redhair girl. her assigned Arcana Charity to complete the trinity.

    I believe that persona 5’s tutorial is better than 4s because yes, 5’s tutorials on how to fight can take long but you’re immediately put into the story and fighting. In 4 you have to sit through 3 hours of dialogue before heading into just the main story and not even the gameplay yet. Though it does take a little bit for players in 5 to be able to do their own thing and what they want to do besides fighting palaces so it’s your preference really.

While I get starting with P4, a lot of people will look at it and go ew (it's a shame but that's how people judge games these days).

    I wanted to start playing the Persona series. I tried first with P3F on my old PS3, but I felt quite uncomfortable: in the first place, I was totally displaced by the gameplay; the mechanics were explained to me by a friend of mine previously, but I couldn't get used to them for some reason (I weren't even able to organize the in-game free time for the various activities; I was totally confused since I'd never played a game like that, [edit:] even though I insisted playing the game for several days), for which I always needed to consult guides before in order to not make a total mess in both social links and the dungeon. By the way, this last thing made me totally bored and the ludic experience totally flat and repetitive, so I left. So, as I acknowledge I couldn’t appreciate the game because of my incompetence (I always used to suck at every videogame in existence), I needed to ask what I could do to improve and learn, since I really feel attracted to this series, and make an complete videogame-retarded like me able to enjoy properly the franchise.

    The only games that are connected are Persona 1, Persona 2 IS and Persona 2 EP. But you don't have to play P1 to get P2 it's just got 1 recurring character called Yukino.

    it's worth pointing out, if you want to play the best version of Persona 3, the up to date Persona 3 reload is the best version so far, and the best part is. it's more similar to Persona 3 Fez, rather than P3P Portable. they released that one to, but avoid the Portable version as it doesn't include the cutscenes at all. some content is also missing, other than that Persona 5, 4, and Persona 3 Reload are the best to play.

    Thanks for this video! I never finished Persona 5 Vanilla and at 4:20 what you said was very relatable... I also made the mistake of trying to follow a guide to help me pick the "best" decision and that took the fun factor out for me. I really want to get into this series because I love the music so much. Thinking about picking up Persona 4 Golden since it's $13 on the PS5 right now. And if that game can get me hooked, hopefully I can finish that and then play Persona 5 again.

    1:09 Exactly what I was hoping and expecting to see Persona 4 Golden is definitely the best entry-point to the series. I wish that was how I got into Persona and not from Vanilla P5 cause man, P5 is awesome then playing the amazing P4G before playing P3 heavily spoils the player with all the gameplay mechanic upgrades and even how the game itself operates in the newer Persona entries compared to P3, making P3 a more tedious game by comparison since it's gameplay style is essentially neutered by comparison to P4 & P5, while (to me) it allows games like P1 and the P2 duology to stand out and maybe even be more accessible to a newcomer of the Persona series compared to anyone starting with P3. Great video once again bro!!! 💯

    There's nothing neutered in P3 compared to P4 and 5 other than the dungeon design in P5 and obviously the graphics and visuals. The game is way more difficult and tactical and has tough choices to make not present in 4 and 5. 5 also lacks the after school activities of 3 and 4. I can play P3 today even after playing 5 because P3 is still the best. No problems whatsoever as long as it's not the terrible PSP version.

    Honestly 5 is a good start as any for a modern player to get into the persona series. If they like it then they can go for 3 and 4. I would avoid person 1 and 2 as it's heavily outdated and the combat system is a bit...shit. I started on 5 and got instantly hooked and wanted more so I played in the order of 3 and 4 and even went to the 1st and 2nd games just to get more persona. If you really enjoy the franchise that much and can bare with the heavily outdated systems of the first two games then you could play those two as the story is still pretty darn good

    The big plot twist in 5 will lose alot of its punch if you haven't got a good familiarity with Igor going into the game. I'd say, at least start with 4 before playing 5, Preferably 4 and 3 before 5. 5 is still a really good game and it stands on its own. But coming into 5 with 3 and 4 under your belt is like reading Hobbit before Lord of the Rings. It gives more flavor
