wheres devil summoner you cock gobbler? If its not in godlike tier you best consider suicide.

Persona is better than SMT but SMT is still good. Fight me
also

Nigga, why post each individual mainline series, then an entire spin off series. You're just trying to start a shit thread to start arguments.
Each SMT has it's own strengths and weaknesses and arguing over what series is better is dumb.

PLEB TIER
>OP

You are dumb

I like both series for different reasons but play both sides for shits n gigs

Persona 5 is fine because it actually does feel like a mainline, outside of the Persona story the gameplay is the most like mainline than it ever been.

>it actually does feel like a mainline

Gameplay does, yes.

Is Nocturne the definitive Shin Magoomi Tensigh experience? Is there any hope for me?

Bosses have weaknesses

The one you struggled against was weak against charm, you did not have to use one single item if someone had that spell

Would charm have helped against only one enemy?

of course, they are stunned
it gives you free rounds

Oh, fuck me then I'm just shit at vidya.

why is Loki, the ultimate charismatic deceiver and manipulator, weak to mind control?

Synchronicity Prologue was a treasure.

Good timing for a SMT thread!

What game in the series has the most fusionable demons and the best fusion system? That's easily my favorite part of the games, just screwing around with fusions and demons and see if I get an awesome combination.

>Whoa, cool down, kiddo!

With delicious pixel sprites to top it off

>MEME TIER

Dafuq does that even mean?

4 and Apocalypse have the largest compendium, but personally I think they give you too much control during fusion. You can completely wipe the slate of the result's innate skills and keep copypasting the same skillset from demon to demon, and ruins some of the uniqueness of each demon.

>has the most fusionable demons
Apoc I think?

>the best fusion system
I dunno

Guess I need to look into getting a 3ds. Thanks for the replies.

3DS emulation is coming along. It won't be necessary to buy one if you're willing to wait

you gotta wonder why SMT fans like to beat their own company games too much.

Fight me turbonerds

In spite of what this board will tell you, I enjoyed SMT IV more.

I feel like most people like both, there's a lot of crossover among both sides of the fandom.

Its just a case of the minorities being really vocal accentuated by one's position on waifus. Hardline SMT fans are either indifferent or have a strong distaste for them meanwhile its World Waifu War 3 for the Persona fandom.

It's quite the hysteria and many neutral people who don't hate waifus are put off by it. Sure, there are waifus on the SMT games too but its normally the one chick in the role of the heroine. Apocalypse tried to imitate persona in this regard and though I liked that game, its no secret its one of the least favorites amongst fans.

Still, I bet 90% of people here have played a Persona game and liked it to some extent, they just don't engage withthe fandom.

Me, I love Persona. It really is a great series and I think it has a right to be the way it is because its abput much different things than SMT is. One wouldn't work at all with the formula of the other and viceversa.

Nah, Digital Devil Saga is.

Is strange journey the most kino SMT game in Sup Forums?

At least, until the remake drops?

The remake is good, better even with the additions they made. However the change in artstyle and new cutscenes are pretty stupid. If only people could learn to animate in the master Kaneko's artstyle for the cutscenes.

>Persoyboys
Good shit.

Isn't DDS too gimmicky? I know I got to the tanker or whatever the fuck without any real effort just by pumping STR and gearing party members for utility to abuse weaknesses

reminder this free dl will be up till the 24th

Shitty list.

I didn't find it too gimmicky personally, in fact, I found it particularly deep with the shield skills and how much freedom you got with character development.

You may have found it easy simply due to STR being the way to go in that game, considering the other only physical attacker was Heat.

Its got its problems, like Devour being a legit gimmicky antecesor to P5s Technical hits, Hama gettig shafted hard or combination skills being obscure and not really good, but overall the focus on the story and characters as opposed to something very minimalistic like Nocturne made me like it more. It feels like an appropriate middle ground between SMT and Persona, taking the best of both worlds.

On the other hand the lack of fusion and negotiation put off a lot of people, but for me the way it was simplified worked nicely. After all, I already have to fuse and negotiate constantly on the other games, its no big deal for me that they are gone in this one. It also helps making you feel like everybody is against you and that you have to rely on your friends to succeed. Really, a game so reliant on its characters couldn't have had Fusion.

Although the game that resembles it the most would be Apocalypse in my opinion, but there the party dynamics are worse, which brings the game down as a whole.

Persona 1 and 2 are kino, fuck you
