>>3196044>From what I've heard the games are, story-wise, largely disconnected from one another, kinda like the Final Fantasy games.Pretty much. While characters from past games might appear in the newer ones, each game is a self-contained story.
> If so, which one is the most accessible for newcomers?Most people will recommend the first 3 windows games: EoSD, PCB and IN
Really you cant go wrong with starting with whichever one of those you want, I would say IN is probably the easiest of the three.
EoSD however lacks some QoL changes in newer titles so playing it might feel weird if you play it after the others, I dont think its that big a deal desu
I'd say just try each one of those 3 and stick with whichever one you like the most. After that you can just play through all the other games however you want.
