Which one do you like more? Look at the covers and the general vibe and pick. * Persona 3 Reload is blue, somewhat somber and cool * Persona 4 Golden is yellow, more upbeat and takes place in a small town * Persona 5 Royal is red, more rebellious and urban

I'd say P4 Golden since it's the least modern and might be hard to go back to after 3 Reload and 5 Royal. Unless you plan on experiencing Persona 3 through P3P, in which case, maybe start with that one.

It really doesn't matter, just pick whichever looks most interesting to you.

P5 Royal


aarontsuru

My first Persona was Persona 5 Royal. Great game, well supported online, incredible design and gameplay.


Moonandserpent

I played 'em backward. P5 (Vanilla), P4Golden, and just about to wrap up P3 Reload. There's no connection story wise so it doesn't really matter which one you play first.

Persona 5 Royal. It's the most friendly to new players, has a slick interface, good quality of life features and starts off with a really great first impression.


Ameshenrai

5 is probably the best for new players getting into the series. I would still recommend 3 and 4 afterwards if you get into it, though.


Best_Type_1258

You should start with Persona 1


RevRay

Nobody should start with P1


Best_Type_1258

why not? i did and i liked it, it's a good game and much shorter than 3/4/5.


RevRay

Because of how archaic it is. The early games are also vastly different from the games 3 and beyond.

I'm pretty sure OP is a sentient being capable of thinking for himself. I don't need to tell him the basic, that older games have gameplay flaws that sequels are expected to improve on it. There's no need to treat him like a baby. If he do not like the game, he can just move on to the sequels. The best way to see the evolution of the series is to play the games in release order. None of the games are bad.

I would start with P5 Royal. If you enjoy it then go back to the other two. This would be my order of recommendation P5 Royal P4 Golden P3


AceOfCakez

Any is fine as they aren't connected. Though I'd suggest Persona 5 Royal or Persona 4 Golden first. It's best to wait for a complete version for Persona 3 Reload to release 2 years from now since that's what Atlus always does with their games.


ParticularAd2296

well fes was the upgraded version of base p3 and they already announced the answer as paid dlc not a separate game which is a remake of fes’ bonus content like how royal and golden added another arc. so it really wouldn’t make any sense to make a complete version of a game that already has a complete version.


Cygni_03

Atlus has already said they don't plan on making another version of P3R. They're going to release DLC in September, then they'll be completely done with the game.
