The Official Shin Megami Tensei Thread

Yes, Digital Devil Saga was rather nice. I ended up liking Persona 3 more though. I tried that game, "Devil Summoner" as well, but eh...I didn't really get into it. I really can't wait for Persona 4 though.

I played the Japanese version for about 5 hours or so and I can't wait for the domestic release. I just didn't want to get too far into it though, since I can't decipher the moon runes and you need to know what kind of answer to make in a game like this, lol. So yeah..I'm waiting for December to arrive, so I can pick up P4 in English.

Oh, for the record. My favorite female character in P3 was Aigis. I'd have to say my second favorite is Yukari :P
 
Speaking of Devil Summoner, I hear that Atlus is bundling the next one with another version of Nocturne, featuring Raidou in place of Dante. I just hope they bring it out here. Devil Summoner was...okay, but I really want to use Raidou in Nocturne. He'd be 10x more badass than Dante.
 
Devil Summoner was good, it just isn't for floosies who can't handle it! And I say that with the total bias because I worked on it. Seriously it has one of the more interesting end sequences in a SMT game, and some good fanservice at that. Nocturne had a pretty kickass opening hour but it was much less personal and impactful than the first SMT. In the first hour of the latter you find out your neighbor's been kidnapped (although she's really part of a anti-establishment group), your mom and dog are demons, but your dog is actually a Cerberus that protects you, you get arrested, and oh, Japan gets nuked again.

My beef with how Persona will go from now on is that as much style as it oozes, they will not change their battle system too much. Press Turns don't feel nearly as vital, which is a shame, because Nocturne and DDS pushed that feeling of survival; you couldn't hold back because in those worlds, holding back meant a game over.

edit: and no, Dante kills people like Raidou for a living >_>

You know..for people who haven't played this, you would probably get a lot of hate from the Dante fans, lol. I'm sure the natural reaction would be, "More badass than Dante? NO WAI!!!11111". Although, I'd have to agree with you.

Er..actually...I pushed for survival just as much in P3 as I did in DDS. I never had to worry about the main dying in DDS and getting a game over. Not to mention, I actually had control over my other party members.

I'll just say that I believe DDS and P3 have their own difficulties about them and I'm not going to try and say which one is harder than the other.
