Persona is a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series.

And it begins, just like with SMT4 on 3DS.

Also, don't be too sure about that. The Switch is currently very popular, especially in Japan.

handhelds are a different story. people buy ninty consoles for their first party stuff. this is going to fail in its english release. count it.

Good thing the Switch is also a handheld.

What kind of game is this? Straight up JRPG? Wander an overworld and encounter enemies that take you into a turn based battle instance?

Kinda like M rated Pokemon >_> It's a traditional RPG with a party, but you negotiate and recruit demons to your party and fight other demons with them. It's also balls hard too. Try Nocturne on PS2 or SMT4 on 3ds if you want to see what it's like.

The switch is very nearly the perfect console. Why wouldn't you want to make games for it, other than when you need beefy graphics and therefore develop for PC?

Hmm how hard is it? I like long games but not artificially inflated length due to dying constantly and needing to grind etc

Grinding is useless in SMT. It is far better to learn what your enemy's weaknesses are and take advantage of that to win. Also building your party matters, different resistances and fighting styles are necessary.

Grinding helps I guess, but really it's more about strategy >_> You learn the boss's gimmick and try to develop a counterstrategy around it.

Nocturne is 3, I believe? You get put in some rough areas where you'll have to make do without any creatures that have effective abilities AND good resistances against the foes early on. It gets easier later as you can fuse them.

I never played 4 but the sequel is apocalypse and it's really rough. True final battle takes a long time and not even necessarily because of their bulk stats, but rather because you've got to actually have a versatile array of demons ready if you want to survive.

There's also the devil survivor games. I'd recommend the 3ds enhanced ports. They're like, the same general idea but with final fantasy tactics thrown in.

Gotta pick that up then

I got SMT4 when it came out and dropped it after 10 hours

Picked it up again last year when it was on sale and still couldn't do it

Another must have game for the Switch!

I'm sticking to my plan of waiting for the console revision to get one though. Too many problems with the Switch's design and you know Nintendo will be releasing a different version of it by next year.

Pretty much every complaint everyone had with SMT4, they addressed >_>

-MUCH better overworld map with easier exploration
-The beginning isn't brutally hard anymore, difficulty is more consistent
-You can now choose your partners and their AI is better (ie: won't use an element again if it turns out the demon is strong against it)
-You can keep track of every quest now
-Better characterizations and story
-More demons
-Clear choices to choose your alignment

Well, not every way...

Appcalypse has a worse story and relies far more on anime cliches.

Atlus aren't going to care. How well the English release does is a secondary concern at best for them.

It's very true. Persona fan boys prefer bright colors and anime and melodramatic Dialogue. They can't handle the dark scenarios of SMT games

You're the one s*** posting by port begging and saying it'll sell better on ps4, when most ps4 owners are more familiar with persona than SMT. Fact is, SMT would sell worse on ps4 than switch

Mainline SMT fans are the Rick & Morty fans of JRPGs.

The battle system is similar, but that's really it.
There's no sim elements in SMT at all, it plays like a more traditional JRPG

Fairly different. The basic moves are similar, and demons/shadow/persona are similar. The actually narratives are quite different, with SMT games being more typical jrpgs then the Persona games.

Instead of obtaining Personas after battles, you recruit demons (basically the same thing) in the middle of battles, and besides your MC & an occasional temporary party member in some games, all of your party members are recruits. Buffs/Debuffs are more permanent & you can apply more than just one at a time. There's still plenty of fusing demons - probably even more since your entire party is demon-based, whereas Personas only apply to your MC. Also, unlike Personas, some demons can evolve into stronger demons - kinda similar to Pokemon evolution.

Despite my previous post ITT, I think the mainline SMT games are extremely good (Nocturne is one of my all-time favorite games); some of the fans are just kinda annoying. SMTIV is probably the best mainline game for a beginner, as it's the easiest one that I've played & feels the most similar to the Persona series stylistically/aesthetically.

You may be aware of this already, but Persona 5 threw out its random persona gain mechanic for a direct implementation of the mainline SMT negotiation.
