Is it okay to play this game without playing any other Persona games /v/?

Yes, but it'll retroactively make 3 and 4 impossible to enjoy
No
They are sequels so you need to start at Smt if.. then persona 1 to 5
Yes, but it might make you enjoy 3 and 4 less. On the other hand, playing 3 and 4 might make you enjoy 5 less. 1 and 2 are very different so playing them or not will have little effect on your enjoyment of P5.
Can you level up faster just with the MC like in 4?

i played 4 first then disliked 3 more, but played 5 and like it better than 4
>>386876778
Yes.
Pay no attention to people that tell you otherwise, the games are their own self-contained stories that have nothing to do with each other.
The only thing that remains consistent between games is the presence of the Velvet Room, but that changes from game to game.

Level up Mishima's confidant and you get more exp anyway.
No reason to go it alone, especially one you start Hifumi's confidant.

ON the plus it'll make 1 and 2 easier to enjoy

It's never OK to play Persona.

Those games are terrible.

Yes, but because of bad writing, some of the plot twists will make even less sense because they wrote this game assuming people played the previous entries despite the game not having anything to do with them.
