trying to replay the original SMT atm. i think you actually have to be a lunatic to do so. it was tedious to me at age 15 and is now now 10 years later.
still better than most crap being released today though

also i've played both devil survivor games and they are shit and boring

Drop the "Shin" stuff and go REALLY oldschool and play the original Megami Tensei for the Famicom, but not until after you read the original Digital Devil Story book it was based on.

Have you played P5 or P5R? Strikers is essentially a sequel, so...

P5 cast is the only one to not get a Toaster companion since their inception into the series with Aegis.

Its not a Herculean task for Atlas to add in an optional confidant or confidant DLC to a fucking video game. Especially when the game is still full price almost half a decade later. It would be an innovation they've never tried before.

P4 at least got Labrys in their spinoff.

Also despise P5 because of the faggotry spammed all over the place by troons and closetfags with akechi ass and gay cast memes obscuring any useful info or less well known things like P5 collabs with other companies such as their PSO2 concerts on the JP server still happening to this day, two years later.

Persona Q has to be the best storywise IMO.

P3 was also pretty lit because it had the one even semi believable cast out of the persona trilogy.

P5 gets their Siri inspired Toaster in Strikers.

I've never played one. I'm more into turn based stuff like RPGs or Tactics games. I do love the Persona 5 story though.

If you liked P5 Strikers is worth it. Never played Dynasty Warriors either but the battle system feels exactly like what P5 would play like as an action rpg. Don't know if you ever played any of the Tales of games or some of the recent YS titles but it plays similar to those.

Used to comment here on a previous account, came back to say just how fucking disappointing Kasumi was. Marie was so much better that it fucking hurts.

I personally couldn't drag myself through Q, though Q2 was pretty good imo.
 
As of today, it's been 105 days into 2021 with no new SMTV announcements

Couldnt stand the gameplay. The "movie" version was great and more of the same if you liked P3 and P4.

Shame Labrys wasnt in Q2.

They really should've just sold P4A as a Standalone VN AND a separate fighting game.
Arc systems never did anything remotely that long ever again in between fights with various new CG locations like the Underground faciliity where Aigis and all the anti shadow robots were made. And the lesser known prequel to P3, Aigis's phone game where they actually do show the facility in one iteration where she was created. Just not the manufacturing part like in P4A.

I still regret not fusing Pascal.

Fuck me for not wanting to involve my dog in demonic rituals right?

og smt is probably lower down on my playlist right (absolute bottom are any games that have recieved an english translation official or otherwise)... Not because I don't want to play it but because I want to gradually condition myself to the serie's difficulty level

I would rather be forced to play Nocturne on Hard with only one party member the entire run and random debuffs every battle, than ever put up with the amount of pure faggotry and undistilled autism centered around Persona 5 on /vg/ ever again. I fucking hate Akechi now and I used to be impartial towards most of the cast. Fuck the Romance shit. The Faggots clearly don't deserve it and cant handle it.

Also once the grind kicks in around madarame's palace, P5 really starts to suck and become a chore.

It's a game that absolutely requires a guide because of it's many beginner's traps and from what I can tell it's quite easy for your save to get fucked up by bugs and you end up getting an ending you didn't want.

I wish they'd make a game with an AESTHETIC like Persona but you didn't have to go to fucking high school and race against a bullshit time limit and constantly talk to losers instead of actually playing the damn game.

I liked the look the menus and ui have in SMT4 (the pseudo rundown Techno vibe), SMT doesn't need to have persona 5's style I think they will give SMT5 an artstyle of its own thats more gritty and fitting to it
