Catherine - original version only, do not get full body version.
What's wrong with full body?
Shin Megami Tensei
Do you mean the actual first game on SNES or anything in the series? Because they do have random encounters and some entries felt grindy to me. Maybe you could advance without grinding but it was more difficult.
To my Knowledge, full body added a Tranny as a third suitor, which is bad in of itself IMHO, but as the original version had a rather tight story having the third in there just makes it feel like something is off as well.
With Shin Megami Tensei, I didn't find the digital devil saga ones as grinding, though most of this series can be a slog.
Then you have Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and Soul Hackers 2.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 are tactics games, so a bit different.
Jack Bros. and Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, though for TMS you want the WiiU version as the switch version got censored.
Raidou Kuzunoha: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army and Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon are action games I believe.

Ewwww... ok wasn't sure if I had Full Body or the original but I don't recall that at all so it sounds like I dodged a bullet on that one.
