Keep playing, Nocturne is great, and you can still enjoy Kazuma Kaneko character designs. I played both the original V and Vengeance (CoV only). They're great games but, somehow, feel a bit shallow compared to other SMT (Vengeance was an improvement, though) games, especially IV.
However, if you're considering PS2-era games, give Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 chance. They have an S-tier story and the game mechanics are great Play them back-to-back, as they're basically a single game divided into two because of production issues, they're about 25-30 hours each.
