I'm playing SMT Nocturne. Last year, I fell in love with SMT 5 and even enjoyed it more than Persona 5, so Noctune is the next best thing to play.
I started SMT 5 a few months ago, loved the atmosphere and combat system but could not get into the story.
I couldn't tell you much about the story. I believe it was some kind of race to become the next god or something? Typical SMT stuff, I suppose. However, that wasn't important to me despite all my other favorites being on the list at least partially because of the story. SMT 5 was more of a JRPG puzzle game. Playing on hard, there was always something I couldn't overcome and needed to plan my party around, which paired with the awesome combat system and meaningful exploration was just pure destilated JRPG fun for me.
