Current Events > Best game in the Megami Tensei series?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've played like an hour of Persona 3 FES, just wondering.

Meaning all the spinoffs. SMT, Persona, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga, Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE

I know nothing about Atlus, SMT, or even anime in general. Just wondering what you think. I think the art style of Persona 3 is really awesome and completely overrides anything I'd complain about the game

Persona 4,though so far 5 is making a solid argument.

Devil Survivor Overclocked or SMT: Nocturne

Mechanically, SMT4: Apocalypse.
---

Digital Devil Saga, Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, and Devil Survivor Overclocked are my favorites.

Probably either Strange Journey or Digital Devil Saga, though pure gameplay wise, it's definitely SMT4 Apocalypse.

I gave smt4 a shot and it was way too frustrating to be fun :/

Might need to try it again.

SMT4 Apocalypse is significantly more streamlined. It has a great balancing and pacing in general, the battles are super fast paced but certainly far from brainless, and the story matters a far more than it did in SMT4.

Just think of SMT4A as the true SMT4

what should I play after Persona 3?

I have PS3, 4, PSP, Vita
Also PS2 with a PS1 memory card (but I'd rather not use AV cords, get that out, also I'm sure that would cost 5x more for a single game)

Oh shit

I never played Apocalypse, only 4,which is where I got frustrated. Now I really need to try it.

I've been playing smtiv apocalypse and I'm so totally loving it. It isn't ever too easy or hard. Though after awhile, the bosses start having their type revealed in the convo before fighting them so it cuts down guessing their weaknesses a bit.

But even that doesn't help a ton. They really were good this time around at that "out level enemies by enough and you get a bit less exp" as opposed to prior games where it is like "lol guess who gets next to nothing because you gained two levels".

One thing Il like about apocalypse is as party members leave for a time, they'll either come back stronger or somebody else gets a power up. Even the objectively worst one still has good damage potential.
