I disagree. I love both of them, but I gotta say P5 is only fun once. It is way too dialogue heavy for a 80h game to replay and literally every side activity is boring on a repeated playthrough, hence I’d never have gotten to the actual Royal story content if I had played all of P5 initially. Yes, I could skip through most of it, but at that point I’m only playing a worse SMT with way too many interruptions and would potentially skip some changed stuff. SMT V on the other hand I see myself replaying anyways, should there be enough new stuff I’ll go for VV. It’s just pure gameplay goodness.
