Everything except The Witcher, Shin Megami and Yaluza I am a fan of because of the first 2 games.
The Witcher 3 I skipped out on because the first 2 were jank as fuck and I couldn't actually finish either of them despite thinking the ideas and story were rad. It wasn't until way later I gave it a shot and it was definitely a better game than the first 2, but the combat got super stale after 20 hours and that's not even like 1/5th of the story.
I don't know why I never got into Persona or his other games. Just never tickled me. 🤷🏻♂️
Yakuza I only recently found to be awesome with Lost Judgement.
My friends usually wanted to hang out at my house because I was the only one with a PC and the only way they could ever check out shit like Fallout and Diablo.
Witcher 3 is really a a joy, I hope you're able to try it some day.
I don't think the Witcher 3 is anything special at all. In fact I think the Witcher 2 is the best game of the series.
Witcher 1 best lore and most "witchery" in that planning and hunting monsters was more of a thing. Witcher 2 was great but too short and abandoned some of what made the first interesting. 3 is a totally different game with plenty of merit but it's weird how disconnected the games feel.
Kinda like Mass Effect, honestly.

Just finished persona 5 and persona 3 reload , I heard there will be a p2 remake so I'll wait for that (Still haven't played p4 tho).
Not true for Final Fantasy. They made a prequel/sidequel of FF1 called Strangers of Paradise, and it was actually really good.
Stranger of Paradise is good? It is mocked by the FF community and even within it's own game. That is a FF staple though.
I would say the job leveling tree was what was intended in Tactics or FFXIV, but the rest is really not that great. The battle system is no different than FF7 Remake. The story is not really engaging. It's was fun for a few weeks. If it's at a discount. Sure.
I had a blast with a couple friends. I’m not saying it’s Shakespeare, but it wasn’t bad like people who only ever saw the trailers think it is.
Either way, the fact they tried something new means they didn’t forget about FF1, and technically FF2 if you played enough of the DLC 😉
Hearts of Iron
Europa Universalis
Sid Meyer's Civilization
Armored Core (with a bonus freebie title)
Civ has a lot of old fans since civ 1 or 2 that just buy and play any new civ game that comes out. I had: Civ 1 Civ 2 + Addons Call to Power (which was no official civ) Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Civ 4 + Addons Freeciv Civ 5 + Addons Civ: Beyond Earth Civ 6 + Addons Unciv

I don't know how the original Megami Tensei games were, but I'm really enjoying the Kyūyaku Megami Tensei remake on the SNES.
Edit: Wait, does the MSX game count as the original, or the FC games?
Back in the day I'd started with SMT3 and somehow never felt like going back further (1st person dungeon crawler never sounded appealing - so I've only ever made an exception for Strange Journey Redux).
But I feel like I've experienced it all first hand including the more niche entries + history thanks to Marsh. So just in case you feel curious:
