Shin Megami Tensei


Riku-kun

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever played any?

It's my all time favorite RPG. It connects RPG aspects, to awesome Anime-based graphics and complex, obscure aspects of life, containing hundreds of tens of different mythologies and religions refferals.

I own:

Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne

Shin Megami Tensei - Digital Devil Saga

Shin Megami Tensei - Digital Devil Saga - Avatar Tuner 2

Shin Megami Tensei - Devil Summoner

Shin Megami Tensei - PERSONA 3

So, does anyone else here absolutely love the SMT games? or are people like me a dying breed. I HATE most of the "new" combat mechanics that RPGs have nowadays. I like my RPGs to have menu based actions for battle, and not autocombat. I DON'T like moving around the battlefield, unless it's just my character doing it for effect(i.e. Chrono Trigger) I ENJOY my games NOT looking like a friggin' MMO. /rant

So, yeah. SMT games. Love them, love their story, love their combat, love their music...basically everything about them...anyone else with me?

I never heard of this series until a few months ago. I saw a random advertisement for Persona 4 on a video game music website, and I was intrigued. I researched it, and within a couple of minutes, I knew I had to get the game! So the next day, I went buy it, and after an hour or so of playing it, I knew that it would become one of my favorite games ever.

So about a month or two later, I finished it. I started the New Game +, but then I decided to take a look at other games in the series since I loved Persona 4 so much. So then I bought Persona 3, and I love that one too! I'm currently playing that one.

Anyway, I would love to know where this series was hiding my whole life, because it's so good and so not well-known.

After I finish Persona 3, what's some more good ones in the series?

Months after my last post, I've gotten my hands on some more SMT games.

I now have Digital Devil Saga for PS2. It's older, but it's actually a really cool game. You actually become demons instead of summoning them.

I also have Devil Summoner 2 for PS2 (that one came out this year), but I haven't been able to play it just yet. I have too many other games to play.

And for the DS, I have Devil Survivor. It's pretty cool, too, if you like tactical RPGs. Actually, the battle system is only half tactical-RPG like...it's kind of hard to explain.

That's all they had at my local GameStop, but I need MORE!!!

Anyway, I can't wait till later this month when Persona comes out on PSP! I hope they do a remake of Persona 2 for the PSP too (both of them, hopefully)!

But yeah, everything about these games appeal to me. There's so much style involved with them, especially the Persona games. I totally agree, they have the best music, battle system, characters, everything. There's just something about all their games that's so original and weird and awesome.

My favorite SMT game is...well just look at my favorite game on my profile.P3 FES is without a doubt my favorite because of it's cool,elaborate,unique story.And for it's awesome soundtrack and gameplay mechanics.Cons about the game is it's REPETITIVE battle music(same for P4).And your team is controlled by a kinda stupid AI.If you can overlook these flaws though you will be engrossed by this game.The story is without a doubt one of the greatest stories i have ever seen in the gaming world.What about you guys?What's your favorite SMT game(Nocturne,Digital Devil Saga,Devil Summoner)?

P4, cuz I started with it and didnt know bout the series till then. But I gradually went back to play all the other Persona games and other different SMT games. P3 FES killed me with the dumb AI and screwing me over so many times when I needed some sort of healing :/ otherwise it woulda been my fav.

Yeah AI was such a pain.That for me was really the only problem about P3 FES.The repetitive music didn't really bug me as much cuz for 1.It was catchy and really got me in the mood to battle.And 2.Most RPG's already had that problem to begin with.So i guess i'm immune to repetitive music.I think you'll like the next Persona game.It has a 2D fighting system with all P3 and P4 characters along with their original persona's.
