I can get one game should I get:
Persona 5
Tales of Berseria
Nier

I haven't played any of the other games in any of those series.

How can you start a series anywhere but the beginning?

 No.11737

>>11736
lots of times video game series aren't direct sequels, just in the same world, and I think all of those are like that

Would you recommend someone start with Final Fantasy 1?

 No.11738

>>11737
Yeah.

 No.11739

>>11738
Why? The earlier ones weren't even localized until after VII.

Persona 5 is the only one I know on that list, but it's pretty great. It feels like a combination of all previous Persona games and it has the most stylish visuals I've ever seen in a JRPG.

>>11736
While I agree that older games shouldn't be ignored just because they're old, I think sometimes it's fun to start with the newest game in the series, and then go back to the very first one to see how it all started.

 No.11742

>>11735
Nier is very good and essentially standalone, since it's connection to Drakengard is tenuous. You'll want to play it a few times to get the whole story.

No one really expects people to play e.g. Might and Magic from 1986 on C64 before they play HOMM7 nor expects them to play Final Fantasy 1 before playing FF15.

 No.11744

Oh, someone already used my FF1 example. I took so long to type out my post……..

It depends on the game though, like it would be silly to play Shadow Hearts 2 before the first one since the story is a direct continuation, but on the other hand the third game is a completely new story so you could play it before either of the first two.

 No.11747

>>11731
Oh I remember that final part, it was really exciting!
I felt really proud when I finally managed to beat it!

>>11735
I'd recommend Nier if you want more of an action adventure game and Persona 5 if you want a JRPG. Both games are pretty character driven! I'm not too familiar with the Tales of series but I suppose if you want to go for a JRPG with a fantasy setting you could go for that instead of Persona 5!
I usually tend to play through a video game series from start to finish regardless if the story of the titles is connected to one another or not, with the exception of games that don't really have a story like the Civilization series or where previous titles in the series are old and hard to get your hands on although most of the time if a series is really successful there will be remakes of those titles like with the early Final Fantasy or Persona games!
I just like seeing how the games evolved over time, what kind of concepts the developers tried out and maybe ditched later and sometimes there's callbacks to earlier titles as well! Although I can understand why most people wouldn't bother with playing earlier games in a series, especially if they're only loosely connected or basically stand alone titles.

I never played the original might and magic series but I did really enjoy playing the master of the elements game since it was the only game I had. I never played any of the rest of the series so maybe I should…

 No.11751

Even with video games that have connected plots, you should still be able to enjoy the story without having played it from start to finish. While you can't often do that with a book series, video games are a different medium and are usually able to pull it off.

Heck, even really intricate and story-focused games don't need to be done in release order. For example, I only started the Metal Gear Solid series with MGS2 on PS2 and I still enjoyed it. I know some people have actually played it with the game's story in chronological order, so that's MGS3, 5, 2, 1, and then 4 (what a mess of a chronology while still excluding the spinoffs!), so it's clear it's not always necessary to do it in order, even with connected plots, so I don't think you should tell people how to play their games like that!!!!

 No.11753

>>11751
Uhm you can play your games however you like, I was just adding my opinion…

 No.11754

>>11751
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I think doing that kind of thing is disrespectful toward the creators.

 No.11755

ok I narrowed it down to P5 or n:a, and I'm leaning towards nier because it's $10 cheaper on amazon and hopefully by the time i finish it P5 will be cheaper

>>11754
I think the creators care more that people enjoy their games. Also I think they'd rather I buy their newest game rather than a used copy of a ten year old game. Plus the "creators" often change over the course of a series, especially a long-running one like FF.

 No.11756

>>11755
The story in Nier is pretty sad, not sure about Persona 5 but it seems a little more upbeat, at least! Nier is a pretty unique game so it might not be for everyone, although the gameplay elements are pretty creative and there is some variety it's not the main selling point of the game. Most people play it for the story and you have to play through the game multiple times to see every ending so please be aware of that!
It's one of my favourite games though so if it sounds like a game you might enjoy I'd definitely recommend it!

And yeah nowadays publishers try to make later games in a series as accessible to newcomers as possible since not a lot of people would buy a game that requires you to play the prequels first to understand what's going on. I don't think there's anything wrong with playing Nier without having played Drakengard and you won't really miss out on anything if you don't but I usually prefer to play the older games in a series first just so I can learn about its origins!

Putting aside the question as to whom thou doest quote, I do apologize. Given your objection, I take it that you have by now finished the game that you were about to finish?

 No.11765

I'm sure you'll all be excited to learn I decided to buy Nier: Automata over P5 (and tales). I reached this decision because I am probably going to start a Nepnep game and go back to playing DT2 soon, so I thought it would be better to have something without turn-based combat. Also it was cheaper.

 No.11766

I always thought someone would eventually say "whom doth thou quoth" even if it doesn't really make sense, but I searched on lots of archives and I don't think anyone ever went that far even though it has nice alliteration.

 No.11767

>>11766
I'm not an archaic English grammar otaku, but isn't ``dost'' more correct than ``doth'' in this case? Again, my apologies if I am mistaken, which is entirely likely.

Also: one person did use ``Whom doth thou quoth?'' on the F back in 2015.

 No.11768

>>11766
It doesn't have any alliteration…

 No.11769

>>11767
It's complete gibberish because "quoth" means "said" not "quote". "Whom quoth thou" sounds cool though. This reminds me I need to get back to Chaucer.

I just finished Persona 5, took me 104 hours. It was good but I'm sad I couldn't max out two confidants and fuse all my favorite demons before the end because I didn't have enough money and couldn't be bothered to farm some in the last area.
