You have 5 seconds to explain what game I should play from the SMT series and why.


no seriously, I want to get into this series and am curious about where to start
Should I play Strange Journey or wait for the remake?

How do we recover MTbros?

>>377958453
whatever you do, DO NOT start with Strange Journey

>>377958453
Just play whatever looks interesting. IV or Nocturne are pretty good starting points.

>>377958453
it has dante from the devil may cry series

>>377958603
But I thought Strange Journey was one of the best in the series?

>>377958603

What makes you say that, anon?

>>377958453

the answer is always Nocturne

Start with IV. It's good, the story is alright. The music is A+ some of the best in the series, and the difficulty curve is kinda shit so it starts out hard but becomes easy later on so you don't hit a brick wall aside from 2 notorious ones. After that you can follow it up with Apoc, or Nocturne which everyone loves. I love SJ a lot but it's ahrd to rec it with a remake coming soon.

>>377958658

Not who you're replying to but IMO SJ is the best SMT game but it is also the most difficult and not recommended as a first entry into the series.

I was going to make a crack that Persona 5 hasn't even hit the million sales mark, but then I checked and SMT4A hasn't sold half of that.

I'm not happy about it, I never cared much for the school life of Persona.

Apoc is a psuedo sequel to IV but I wouldn't recommend starting with it.

Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, or Persona 3. Though the last two are not SMT, and Nocturne is very different from rest of the mainline games but they are all the best staring points for getting into Megaten.

>>377958453
IV is a good starting point, if you survive Naraku then you can handle the rest of the game. It has a sleek UI, fights are fast, and the music is 10/10. Furthermore it has a sequel (SMT4A) that improves on 4 immensely (quality of life improvements for days).

Nocturne is a classic, but it's also a departure from SMT as a whole. The gameplay is tight, the music is solid, and the atmosphere/art design is top notch. Unfortunately during the early 2000's Atlus was into fucking with their players, so be prepared for a fair bit of bullshit.

Strange Journey will kick your shit in/test your patience if it's your first SMT. You'll rely heavily on your demon's because the protagonist is REALLY unreliable (it means you gotta git gud at team building). It's a good game don't get me wrong, but some of the design choices are really wonky.

DDS 1 if you hate yourself. Jesus fuck the encounter rate. I like the game but it suffers from "tall grass" syndrome.

ehh, I must have only been reading the physical sales.

>>377959660
This
IV and Strange Journey have pretty hard parts so the Ps2 games are much more accessible, also those are some of the best SMT games

>>377960531
Only if they give us the map from IVA. What was Atlus smoking where the fuck is Roppongi and how do I get to it from Ueno?

I was not ready to learn how to navigate the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.

>>377959137
IV was at 600k copies sold back in 2015.

>>377957570
Atlus wins either way.

>>377959028
I have IV, IV:A, DeSu1, P2:IS, P3, and P4 under my belt, am I ready for SJ or should I go on with nocturne?

>>377961713
Go with nocturne. DSJ will be coming out soon and there probably won't be much of a reason to play the base game after that, unless the new artwork really triggers you

>>377961194
it's honestly pretty easy to navigate after some disorientation for the first few hours. I just explored everywhere when I first got to shinjuku, found the southern tunnel, and remembered to go back to it later.

granted 4A's map is obviously much nicer and much more user friendly but 4's map isn't the monstrosity people make it out to be

4A didn't sell well because A. it's a pseudo spinoff, and B. it wasn't backed by Nintendo like IV was.

And even then, it sold remarkably well for a SMT spinoff.

Why would I complain? Persona 5 was excellent and on top of it there's finally going to be an SMT on home consoles again. I'd say it's a pretty good time to be a fan of MegaTen.

Even if it only comes out on Switch, it'll be years until then and the Switch will probably have a couple of games worth playing by then.

Nakajima is a jerk.

Man Persona would be the perfect game if they just made it more difficult. I managed to beat Persona 5 on hard and only died like 3 or 4 times and that only due to bullshit like hama or mudo connecting on me or I killed myslef because the enemy had reflect physical.

where u at?

If you didn't get the True Demon Ending on Hard mode as your first playthrough, then you're a casual.

Anyway, Persona winning isn't that bad. It is a good game. It'll eventually lead to more original SMT titles. I'd love new something akin to the atmosphere of DDS1/2.
