P5R, SMT V or this game.

Hello everyone. Only have time and budget for one new game. Between these 3 which would you recommend? Thanks

SMT5

p5r, metaphor, smtv is the order that i'd personally choose

Depends on what you want out of the game.

If you want a game, game then obviously the choice is SMT Imagine. But if you want a story, probably this game. All the choices here have a variety of flaws but 2 are pretty solid and 1 is fairly mediocre in retrospect to the series. (Thats SMTV).

But everyone knows real gamers play SMT Synchronicity and Jack Bros. A real mans game

This guy gets it.

This for story and plot, Persona 5 for character and world, and SMTV for the gameplay. All have a focus, and all do the three well at least...okay the first two do what they do great, SMTV does not do anything story related beyond okay, but is designed so well as a game, I forgive it, and even could spend hours in its maps going around gathering stuff.

You can get it for 1/3 of the price of Metaphor since its an older title.

P5R, Metaphore, and SMTV last. I am big into storytelling and I wasn't really impressed with the story in SMTV. I enjoyed everything else about it, though.

I've not played SMT but I can vouch for Persona 5 and Metaphor. If you prefer something more cartoonish and upbeat, get Persona 5. If you want a more serious tone then it's Metaphor. But you won't go wrong with either.

Cool thanks everyone. I might of p5r or metaphor then

This game might be a great entry point as it meshes a lot of both of the other games, however just be aware going back to those some mechanics might feel slightly dated

Not interested in P3 or P5 for now, and the whole highschool thing. Also I watched like 5 hours of P5 and the game seems like its dragging on forever. I just have no time for this and it seems Metaphor is more streamlined by Atlus standards.

Depends, I love both and they are pretty different.

I love the story in Metaphor, i think i'm about 3/4 thru the game atm, and its not as long as Persona 5R or some of the other games, but the story is pretty damn dark which is nice.

What Persona does better IMO is you have more of a connection and story with those around you, but its also more work to do everything. The links and stories with your party and those around you are more fleshed out in Persona 5 then they are here.

I'd also say I like the Persona's more then the Archetype system, you have far more power in how to design your main character, but less power in how your party members operate, so its a near draw between the two. Both are good and both work perfectly well though.

Both games are incredible, and I can't suggest Persona 3-5 enough. If you like Metaphors pacing where its dungeons mixed with social building you will feel at home with the Persona games and they are all incredibly solid RPG's.
