Decided to pick up the Steelbook editions of SMT V for switch 2 and Vengeance for ps5 since they were quite cheap and was wondering which route in your opinion gives the best first experience for this game and series

For context I have never played a SMT game before this but I absolutely love and adore the persona games for the music the combat the setting everything but never decided to give SMT a try before since people said the vibe was quite different

I know the canon of creation is the OG and C of vengeance is the new route, but which would recommend for best possible first experience, I will be doing both routes eventually but my mind starts to go into autopilot when doing second playthroughs amd wanted the best possible narrative and story the first time round.

Also is the Switch edition of OG SMT V and SMT V Vengeance canon of creation the exact same ? Or have they made changes/graphical updates even in the creation route that you would not recommend playing the Creation route on the OG SMT 5 for switch
