>>6635The playing order is a bit weird. The first game is actually 3. The thread for it here should have the playing order for it. The rest is my just my opinion but the first three mainline games, 2 and 1 especially, are good and worth playing. After that it becomes hit or miss with more misses than hits until the spinoffs where the quality starts to go back up again. As for your question about the spinoffs you don't HAVE to play the mainline first since the story isn't connected, but it's generally recommended that you do so since there are references and stuff you'll miss out on if you don't. Though unless you know Japanese the only spinoff you'll be able to play is Nekoashi-Otome since that's the only one with a translation.
