    Default General SMT discussion thread

    We haven't had one of these for a long time, and we can only use Formy's Persona thread for so long

    Which games have you played? What do you love about the series? What else do you expect from it in the future?

    So far, I've beaten I, IV and both Digital Devil Saga games, as well as Personas 2 (IS), 3, 4 and Q. Playing P4 DAN, and Strange Journey. Played a bit of Nocturne, but didn't get too far and don't have the means to play it now, Raidou Kuzunoha vs the soulless army - same; almost beat Persona 1 but ragequit, and now I also started Devil Survivor Overclocked, with DS 2 Record Breaker and Soul Hackers in my possession, but still on my backlog. I can't wait for SMT II to be released in English on iOS, but P5 and SMT IV: Final are what I'm most looking forward to now.

    NOTE: Mark your spoilers, people! Some people on here are still getting introduced to the series

    Probably a noob question, but what is SMT?

    This, basically. And lots of tears and pain.

    Ah, and here's a handy little newbie guide.

    Me and Nocturne are not on speaking terms. Three times in a row this is exactly how the first Random Encounter went.

    Turn 1 - Enemy hits Critical. Follows up. Another Critical. Game over.


    Otherwise I love P3 and P4, couldn't get into 1. A bit too cheesy, and I hate First Person view in RPGs like this.

    I beat both Digital Devil Saga's last Year, and it was a lot of fun. One of the most interesting concepts in a game I've played. Not perfect, but a lot of fun.

    Devil Survivor 2 is also my favorite Strategy RPG. The 3DS remake actually added a lot of fantastic things.

    SMT is probably my favorite dev team right now, if not of all time.

    Persona 1 was trash

    Persona series aside, I think IV and Strange Journey are my favorite SMT games. I'm also really interested in Soul Hackers, but I'm still kinda worried it'll feel like P1, which was a mess.

    I do love SMT IV. Looking forward to the new one.

    And I didn't enjoy Soul Hackers at all. Didn't really feel like P1, but again I hate First Person in my RPG's.

    Well, I happen to adore Strange Journey, so here's hoping it is to my liking

    Is it just me, or does the main character of SMT: Nocturne seem really evil? Look how he grabs Angel's head like that! He seems rather menacing.

    He's actually pretty much a complete blank slate and you get to decide how he shapes the world in the end. He is called the demi-fiend for a reason, however, as he becomes half-demon near the beginning of the game because of Lucifer.

    Huh, he seems totally relatable.

    Anyway, I've just started SMT: IV. I'm currently in the Kiccigorgi forest, looking for survivors. I'm getting an indication that events are beginning to progress at a clip now, which is nice. I'm really liking my faithful A.I Burroughs, even if she deems it necessary to register breakfast as a 'quest'.

    Ali Hillis voices Burroughs.

    I thought they sounded similar!

    I actually all the AIs in the series I've met so far. Burroughs is awesome, but Arthur, her predecessor in Strange Journey was also really great. And I don't think I even need to bring up Aigis, do I
