Shin Megami Tensei / 真•女神天性

| I've played and beaten Persona 3, Persona 4, and Devil Survivor: Overclocked. Unloved all 3. I own a handful of the other SMT games, but I've yet to play through a main series game. With SMT V on the way, I should remedy that... years and years ago, I started Nocturne and was really liking it. I got only 15 or so hours in before my old PS3 died. Now I'll need a PS2... or should I just play SMT IV on 3DS instead? I've heard Nocturne becomes one of the toughest during late game...


| OP here. Holy shit. I'm so tired that I typed 天性 instead of 転生.
There's no way to delete threads, right...? Lol


| > Unloved all 3
Yeah, you're definitely tired


| >>284549 Shit, I really need to sleep. And the autocorrect on this phone sucks...


| Can I please delete this thread and start over somehow... lol


| I'm currently playing my first SMT game, Persona 5, and it's pretty good imo.


| If you haven't played mainline SMT; nocture shouldn't be your first game. It is "different" from the SMT 1, 2, and 4.

Now, keep in mind that mainline SMT in general is also different from P3 and P4. It is a straight up dungeon crawler, theme are darker, and things go from 0 to 11 at times.

Also SMT 1 and 2 is so dated. So just play SMT IV. Though, I have a feeling you'd enjoy SMT IV: Apocalypse more.


| If you're liked what you played of nocturne then go back and finish it because it is a good game, but if you want to prepare for Smt V then playing smt iv is probably your best choice


| >>284579 (OP here) Well, back when I started Nocturne, I was really liking it. I knew Persona was generally different from the mainline games anyway. The main thing now is having to spend money on getting another PS2. They're cheap, but I really need to save. So that's why I'm thinking maybe just going with IV since I already have it.


| Try digital devil saga, it's pretty good for what it is, a good bonus is prebuilt dungeons instead of randomly generated


| >>285000
If you already have IV, why are you asking? Go and play it!

Or you can also just emulate the PS2. The emulator's advanced enough now, it'll run on middling PCs too


| >>285000 yeah, go for The regular IV and if V came out, do V after beating IV. If you've really fallen in love, then go back to Nocturne, since 5-10 years is usually the time in between each SMT mainline. You'd have a lot of time if they ever make SMT VI


| >>285000 Just emulate Nocturne and play IV and IV:Apocalypse. I recommend playing Strange Journey Redux which just came out to.


| 4 and 4:A are probably the easiest smt games to get into


| I also suggest playing persona 1, and the duology of 2


| Waiting on V. That trailer was hype as fuck


| Seconding playing strange journey as well. Stuff happens in IV that shorta references strange journey.


| >>285532 (OP here). I might just do this. In fact, once I eventually get back to Nocturne, I might end up just restarting from the beginning. I was only 15ish hours in, and it was over 5 years ago.

>>286420 I don't like emulating games much, and my PC won't run PS2 games anyway.


| You all gotta play smt demikids tho


| I'm currently playing SMT IV: Apocalypse, and it's really good. It's set in the same universe as IV, and it basically has this thing where it's happening at the same time as IV, so I probably should have played that one first.
I recommend playing IV on the 3DS though, as you said yourself. Then if you finish and like that, and V isn't out yet, you should definitely buy Apocalypse.
