Hard copy or digital? They're surprisingly hard to find on hard copy, so that could limit you a bit if you want to go that route (3, 4, and both of the "Untold" remakes, in particular).

I'd suggest 4 or Untold: The Millennium Girl. They both have solid stories (though you can pick the traditional option in MG and then the game revert to serious old-school, with no defined characters and far less story), and both have good mechanics. MG is updated to have most of the mechanics from 4, but 4 is still a little more modern.

Either MG or 4 would be my suggestion.

Happy to help! I hope you like it, it's one of my favorite under the radar series in all gaming. It's so easy to just pour hours at a time into mapping along, building characters up. Great games.
