>Persona 1

>Persona isn't SMT
>Uses same stat system
>Uses same demons
>Uses same skills

P5>Soul Hackers>P4>SMTIV>SMTIVA>P3
I got halfway through Strange Journey and didn't want to continue. I am two dungeons deep on Nocturne and DDS and don't care to play further. PS2 SMT games on PS4 when? after seeing the performance difference it is crazy that atlus wont do this.

People like it user, deal with it or get fucked.

>Contrarians like it user

FTFY

Devil Survivor
Digital Devil Saga
Persona 5

It's part of the Megami Tensei franchise, but it's not SMT.

By that logic DDS isn't SMT.

>Anybody who likes something I've never played is a Contrarian

Jack Bros
Nocturne
If...

It's not.

it's literally SMT with gay anime smeared all over it. you cannot deny this.

next you will tell me
>haha bloodbone isn't a souls game

I really got to get around to playing Strange Journey.

So what's the point of this thread? A lot of the games mentioned are under Megami Tensei but not SMT.

Raidou is best summoner, but soul hackers is tightly behind
5 is best persona
Nocturne is bets mainline
SJ is best misc off spin, followed tightly behind by DDS

Nocturne
Strange Journey
IV:A

DDS
4:A
maybe p5 havent finished
sj is one of my favorites but i think its kinda niches

megami ibunroku

What SMT game has the best gameplay?
What SMT game has the best story/characters?
What SMT game has the best atmosphere?

>tfw strange journey is my favorite but I'm not that excited for deep

the fact that the visuals are hardly improved kind of pisses me off

I mean I guess asking for full 3D battles is asking for a lot but I guess I would have preferred deep to be on a console and use the models that Persona 5 has set up.

>gameplay
Majin Tensei
>story/characters
Persona 1/2
>atmosphere
SMT II

>What SMT game has the best gameplay?

IV:A. Literally the best fusion system with the best overall combat.

>What SMT game has the best story/characters?

That's a matter of preference but I really enjoyed P3.

>What SMT game has the best atmosphere?

Nocturne.

It's Megami Ibunroku which means alternate tales of the goddess or something.

Technically this applies to anything that's not "mainline" SMT. Persona, Devil Survivor, etc. DDS is an exception because it's Avatar Tuner. SMT is slapped on these titles in america as brand recognition. I think Devil Summoner is SMT though.

Devil Survivor
Nocturne
SMTIV Apocalypse
Raidou as honorable mention

Nocturne
Persona 5
Overclocked

>Persona
>Digital Devil Saga
>Soul Hackers
>Devil Survivor
These are all Megaten yes but not SMT.

Because they are Megaten just like SMT. SMT games are mainline only. tl ; dr all SMT games are Megaten, not all Megaten games are SMT directly. Only mainline get the SMT title in Japan I think with exception being the original Soul Hackers but they removed that for the remake.

Is Persona 5 just a chaos route? What kind of route would each Persona be

No, if any alignment it's law.

The fuck? It's the literal opposite of law. P4 is law. P5 is about as close Persona gets to a chaos route. P3 is more or less neutral.

Well like, the Phantom Thieves do essentially what's illegal for what they believe is right, and end the game killing what's close to the demiurge using Satanaell, it seems pretty chaos to me

1. SJ
2. Nocturne
3. IV:A because de goodly gameplay

In what way? The ending of Persona 5 is killing a false god with the exact same motivations as Lucifer. . All of the Persona games are law except If...

Why do people like SJ? Just seemed like a shittier version of EO to me.

>All of the Persona games are law except If...
90% sure If... is a SMT game

How's soul hackers? Looking to pick it up soon.

How is killing a god a law route? Hell, the path you take to kill Demiurge has you fighting all the main angels in Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, and Michael. That's about as anti-law as you can get.

The If... protagonist is in Persona 1 and 2

>SMT 1
>SMT 2
>Strange Journey

Jack Bros
NINE
If...

Well there're only seven SMT games, arguably eight

>putting persona on an SMT list
Even Atlus doesn't think it's SMT anymore

Gonna use this thread to ask

SMTIV Apocalypse
Devil Survivor Overclocked
Soul Hackers

Rank to shortest to longest
Rank to easiest to hardest

Pretty please

SMTIV Apocalypse on Apocalypse mode was the hardest.

is that chara from undertale

Persona 3 is because it has SMT written on the box.

...

SH < DeSu < Apoc
SH < Apoc < DeSu

For only SMT?
Nocturne, IV A, and 2.

If you mean MegaTen in general rather than SMT, then
>Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker (DeSu1 was trash for me)
>Persona Q
>Soul Hackers

P5
Nocturne
DeSu 2
