Er... I've only played SN1 and 2, really. SN1's enemy AI is so stupid you can lure them one at a time to smash them, so it makes it really easy to advance to the next story sequence (which was the whole point of the game to me.) SN2 expands hugely on both the game's mechanics (it fixes most of the problems in the first game's system and it adds some new complications to keep things interesting) and on the story world, while also keeping all sorts of references to the first game. It's kind of like Lunar 2 Eternal Blue in relation to Silver Star Story. And with all due respect to Dragonmaster, I really loved SN1 for its characters and atmosphere. They more than made up for the rudimentary gameplay, to me.
Then again, SN3 and Exthesis are both less connected to the other games in the series, so if you want a stand-alone game, one of those might be good. Haven't played either. :3 SN 1,2, and 3 were all rereleased in cheaper editions, which is nice.
