    Pretty fun! It's like pokemon if it was hard as shit. If you've played Persona 5 you've got a taste of the battle and recruiting systems, and there's a hamfisted moral alignment system in every game that leads to different endings which is neat.

    I haven't played 5 yet, but the most entry level ones are probably the 3DS games, SMT 4 and SMT 4:Apocalypse, although people will insist starting with SMT 3 Nocturne which goes hard from the start. SMT 1+2 are pretty dated, but if you can get into it they're cool (save states are a godsend). There's also the side games like Strange Journey and Soul Hackers that play like SMT 1+2, and Digital Devil Saga that's a more traditional JRPG.
