Eh, blame ATLUS for that. Devil Summoner, its remake and the original Soul Hackers never made it to the West.

P4 is a legit fun game, don't be ashamed of liking it.

>>388979864
It's the original Devil Summoner>Soul Hackers>Raidou games

>>388980643
It's alright. I'd definitely give it a go if you want to try getting into SMT but just be aware that the gameplay isn't great compared to other SMT games.

Some of the major story beats at the end of Raidou 1 may be lost on you if you're not familiar with the first 2 mainline games but its nothing to stress your head over and SMT I and II are dated as hell so I wouldn't put it past you unless you get really invested in SMT. The same sort of goes for Raidou 2 since a major character in it just happens to be from mainline.

Nocturne > DDS1 > DDS2 > Raidou 2 > Raidou 1 > Persona 3 > didn't play persona 4

Wew. I know this may be shocking to you, but even if someone played Persona before any other MegaTen, that doesn't mean it has to be their favorite. Also, most of the people who ranked Persona 3/4 low didn't actually say they disliked them. What a concept, not but a faggot warrior over something.

I put it above a lot of other MegaTen games because it's very balanced in its qualities. I might prefer the concept of Raidou, the combat of IV:A, the gameplay flow of Persona or whatever, but Nocturne does a lot of things very well with few major issues, and while it may no be the best at many of those things, it's not bad at any of them either.

I felt the stories were largely separate. DDS1 did not need a sequel.

>>388974715
Raidous 2 = Persona 3 > Persona 4 = Nocturne > DDS 2 > DDS = Raidou 1

Nocturne has the best combat and most interesting setting but fucking hell it is a slog to get through like 50% of it due to the grind of constant random battles.

Raidou 2, P3, and P4 are all rank that high for me solely because I vastly prefer the stories in them to Nocturne and still found the battle systems to be good-to-passable - they may not have as many impressively designed boss battles/dungeons, and Hell I'm not even sure any of them but P3 can surpass moments like the TDE, but I still enjoyed my time with them a lot more.

Raidou 1 though, Christ, the story is still decent but the combat is just too dogshit for me to forgive.

The Tired mechanic meant you were encouraged to spread dungeon crawling out, which helped the pacing of the game a ton.

P4 and P5 both suffered from doing a dungeon in one day, then playing through 5 hours of text.

Au contraire its the only theme in the game that impressed me so far.

Nah it's true. The cave that you are lurking around is legit the toughest part of the game

Although the rest of the game has quite enjoyable atmosphere

>>388991676
go neutral route (or atleast in your 2nd cycle), don't abuse marakarn/tetrakarn if you want somewhat difficult bosses and do alot of sidequests since there are some really cool ones

>>388992663
It's how the game is balanced. They got the level estimates wrong for enemies in certain areas relative to the player's level. In the tutorial, you fight level 6 enemies at level 1 but in the late game any enemy that isn't a boss will always be 5 levels below you.

>>388992663
It the same with P3 and P4 and Nocturne
Atlus loves reverse difficulty curves, P5 kind'a fixed this though by making dungeons too long to deal with in one go in most cases

>>388993084
Nocturne has a really smooth difficulty curve though. Shinjuku Medical Center is a joke while enemies in the Tower of Kagutsuchi will consistently one-shot you.

I prefer IV over all, but Nocturne has the superior difficulty curve.

>>388985830
>A game that ends on a cliffhanger and has no resolution or even answers does not need a sequel

>>388993084
I always felt that nocturne had a pretty good difficulty curve, the beginning of the game is as hard as it should be and the endgame doesn't turn extremely easy like smt iv.

>>388974715
From what I've played

P4>DDS>P3>Nocturne>Raidou

I really need to get back to DDS 2

>>388993084
Nocturne and Strange Journey have fairly good difficulty curve

IV:A partly so. Bosses do get harder as the game goes on but random encounters still gets much easier

>>388993408
IV is tougher if you don't abuse Tetrakarn and Makakarn. Same with Nocturne.

Seventy five percent of the people in this thread weren't even old enough to play these on launch.

The thing about Persona games was that they felt far more polished/complete than SMT games. Seeing people actually rate SMT games higher than Persona is a complete joke.

Would anyone care about Persona if not for the waifus?

Doesn't feel right to rank SMT with Persona.

>>388974715
Nocturne > P3 > DDS2 > DDS1 > shit > P4

Haven't played aspect raidou.

>>388993835

No amount of polish can make up for the shitty dungeons, pacing-killing calender system, and gimped party customization.

>>388993835
>you have to play a game at launch to like it
Persona just has a higher budget than SMT so it better feel more polished. complete though that's debatable.

>>388993730
Nocturne's evasion buffs are pretty easily abused. IV/IV:A balance those better

The -karn spells have always been OP though. Even Mem Aleph in SJ can be cheesed with Reflect

>people rating DDS1 higher than 2
Did I miss something or did all of you suffer aneurysms?

>>388993835
There's more to a game than just how polished it is. Persona being more polished is definitely a point in its favor, but it doesn't make it outright better than every other MegaTen.

>>388994014
Only idiots only like Persona for the dating sim aspect. The dating aspect of the game is underdeveloped anyway.

>>388994262

Demon gang wars was more interesting than petrifying black sun.

>>388994262
The setting in DDS1 is so much better than the setting in DDS2 and that was one of the only things that really struck me about the game. I also hate The Sun in DDS2 and it left me with a bad final impression of the game. DDS2 made plenty of improvements, but it still had most of the issues DDS1 had for me and it threw some new ones in on top of it.

>>388993835
What? The dungeon and level design in Nocturne and DDS is more "polished" and miles ahead of either Persona game.

>>388994495
>>388994514
I agree that the setting is way better in 1 but they don't really explore it as well as they could've.

Plus DDS2 takes place in the real world (kinda) and the gameplay is WAY fucking better. While the music isn't all that amazing compared to 1's atmosphere, it's also on the level. I think 2 is objectively better.

>>388992663
You don't have enough fusin fodder in the beginning. The more options you get the more exploitable the game becomes.
