You aren't required to read the first 3 Harry Potter books to understand the fourth either.

As much as I wanted to love 1 and 2, their gameplay was just too annoying. Slow as fuck combat with very little depth, annoyingly high encounter rate, weak dungeon design, and bizarre recruitment/fusion systems. 3-5 don't have incredible gameplay by any means but it's at least serviceable.
1/2 really deserve remakes that keep their spirits intact (i.e. not Persona 3 clones) while totally overhauling their gameplay.

Buy persona 5 and play it on ps4.

Haven't played the Persona 5 yet,
guess I'll start with the third game.

There are even 2 Persona 2s.

They're all self contained stories, save for Persona 2 Innocent Soon and Persons 2 Eternal Punishment. Those should be played innocent soon, then eternal punishment.

Dude just start up 1 and see if you can deal with it. If the gameplay sucks then yes, go to 3 and look up a summary of 1 and 2. The stories were good.

Play persona 3 if your a p5 baby, then 1 to 2. Then play p4 and have a laugh

Persona 3 has a couple references to Persona 2 but there are otherwise zero connections between 1/2 and 3/4/5, might as well be different franchises. Even when they've had all the excuses in the world to bring Nyarlathotep or Philemon back they've refused to do so.
