The player's moral compass is so restricted compared to the rest of the series that you're basically forced to make a generic good vs evil choice between in the classic struggle between the Power of Friendship and Selfish Villainy... which is alreadt a pretty tired and heavy-handed theme in anime/video games as it is.

As a Persona fan, I'm here to say that I'm very happy for the SMT community. You guys deserve it. If it wasn't for your franchise, mine wouldn't have existed.
Thank you! You have got the be one of the VERY FEW Persona fans who understand that. A lot of other Persona fans act like Persona games are better and refuse to even play a single SMT game to see how awesome they are in their own way. From what I have come to understand from playing the Persona games is how ones like 3, 4, 5 and 5 Royal are about daily life with a twist for the supernatural. Players can put their selves into the shoes of the MCs and allow them to build their social circle as they see fit as well as see what life is like in a Japanese school (to some extents, like with activities and whatnot). These games gives players a sense of a reality within each game. As for the SMT games, each have their own fictional story that leans into the dark, morbid and perhaps gritty with some messed up elements in each one. For example ... In Nocturne, Sakahagi skins his own kind and wears their skin as clothes. In Digital Devil Saga, the way to survive means devouring enemies ... which means cannibalism, cannibalism and more cannibalism. In Digital Devil Saga 2, one of the bosses prefers 12 year old meat. Jenna Angel is revealed to be Sera's father (already known to be her mother) ... which makes her a hermaphrodite. In Digital Devil Saga 1, players are led to believe that Serph is a good guy and that Heat becomes a bad guy (Heat changing from good to bad starts in 1 and evident in 2) ... only to realize that in the real life of 2 - Heat was a good guy who opposed how cruel Serph actually was. In Devil Summoner, when Raidou takes the cyborg body of Rasputin to Victor, Victor tells Raidou that he removed Rasputin's unnecessary parts ... which was his penis - which actually happened to the Rasputin in real life. In Devil Summoner 2, by taking one of the cases, Raido (the Devil Summoner from a different reality/dimension) enters Sakuradayama through an interdimensional rift (for a lack of a better term) and is followed by Mara - a chariot riding penis demon. All in all, both series have qualities that make them some of the best games around ... and have the potential to be timeless classics in gaming history.
@@platinumskulls4490 Okay. Here is the best way to answer that question. That is if you mean to select what your summoned demons do while in battle. SMT III: Nocturne ------------------------------ Type: Turn-Based RPG Full Control: YES. Downside: If the MC dies ... Game over - even if the demons you summoned are still alive. Fusion: YES SMT IV SMT IV: APOCALYPSE -------------------------------------- Type: Turn-Based RPG Full Control: YES. Fusion: YES SMT: Digital Devil Saga SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2 ------------------------------------------ Type: Turn-Based RPG Full Control: YES. Upside: You can change Skills at any time (outside of battle). Say if your next boss is WEAK to Ice. You can equip Ice skills to exploit the weakness of the boss to make the battle real easy. Fusion: NOT AVAILABLE SMT: Devil Summoner SMT: Devil Summoner 2 ----------------------------------------- Type: Strategy RPG Full Control: YES Fusion: YES (Note that Devil Summoner and Devil Summoner 2 are NOT turn-based, and NOT strategy RPG. Look up a video of any battle from either game on CZcams to understand what I mean.) SMT: Devil Survivor SMT: Devil Survivor 2 SMT: Devil Survivor 2 Director's Cut ----------------------------------------------------------- Type: Strategy RPG Full Control: YES Fusion: YES SMT: Strange Journey SMT: Strange Journey Redux ------------------------------------------------- Type: Dungeon Crawler Turn-Based RPG Full Control: YES Fusion: YES
@@platinumskulls4490 If you have a Nintendo Switch, choosing between III HD Remaster or V could be as easy as flipping a coin and choosing what you choose for heads, and what you choose for tails. In Nocturne, not only can you fuse demons to create stronger demons, some evolve. Fusion result demons can learn skills from the two demons used in Fusion, if you do not like the skills the Fusion result demon can have, you can back out and recheck the inherited skills. Think of it as a reroll. Just like what stat increases a Persona might get from a Fusion Result (depending on how much EXP the Social Link/Confidant Rank will give to make the resulting Persona to be at a higher level). Say the resulting Persona you want focuses more on using magic, but you want it to have more Vitality and Agility ... but one of the stat increases is Strength, you could do the reroll process until you get the stat increases you are satisfied with. But if you want to play a SMT game well before the release of III HD Remaster and V ... If you have a 3DS, you could choose Devil Survivor Overclocked (I forgot that title). DSO plays generally the same as Devil Survivor, but has voice acting. I think it has a few extras, but I cannot remember, it has been a long time since I played that one. There is Devil Survivor 2 Director's Cut (which has more story and more bosses). I never got to play that one, so I am not sure if there are more demons. Strange Journey Redux has more story, more bosses and a new character. I do not want to leave spoilers. There are things about the SMT games that sst them apart from the Persona series, and vice-versa. Nocturne has an element in which the choices you make throughout determine the ending you get. There are about six endings. Digital Devil Saga 2 has one difference near on the last part of the game, it depends on two particular choices you make in DDS2 ... and two in DDS1. I only played Devil Summoner and Devil Summoner 2 once before my PS2 stopped reading every disk (game disk, music CD and DVD). I am not sure if those games have different endings or just one for each game. When I played SMT IV, I had to go through a series of fusions just to create Asura what was a powerful Physical attacker with a high Strength stat, but had a decent Magic stat for him to use Agidyne several times, and made sure for him to have a passive skill known as Drain Ice so that any time he was hit by an Ice attack, he would heal instead of taking serious damage since he was normally weak to Ice. I gave him Charge so that his next attack was brutal. I also had him with other skills that brought out his full potential. It took lots of Macca, having to summon this demon and that demon to create this demon and that demon, so on and so on. I made a list of what Skills I wanted Asura to have, and checked to see which demons had those skills, I fused them with demons of the right race and level just to make sure that by then time I could fuse the final two demons to create, I had all of the skills necessary in order to make Asura perfect. That was just ONE demon, I then had to that over and over until my entire roster was filled with all of my favorite demons ... each one perfected with the right set of skills for each one. I then had to max out their stats by grinding for Incense, in the end - it was more than worth it.
I never played an SMT game and as much as I am one of those “*REEEEEEE*” level persona fans, I’m happy for you guys, you finally got what you wanted for the switch
Kinda makes me glad I took the step into smt. Didnt anticipate an actual release date when I bought Nocturne on ps3 but you'll be happy to know the previous video was why I took the step
I loved the persona games and want to get into SMT but I heard that they’re really hard. Since I’m bad at video games I thought I should just watch a let’s play but should I buy 3 and 5 when they come out?
i love persona. i liked Revelations Persona back in the day, loved 3, 4, and 5. but I will never apologize for saying SMT > Persona any day of the week ^^ SMT3N and SMT5 HYPE
eh it depends on which SMT game, because in my opinion the PS2 era of SMT is my favourite mostly for the 3d presentation and playstyle of the games, I wish SMT Nine had gotten an international release though. sadly it never got ported to another system. however I think there's a fan translation so I might be able to run it if Xbox Emulation is good enough, which I suspect it either is already good enough or it's getting there.
@@XeviousvSBlackmanta the only translation I know of out there is a youtuber known as Frog Sensei translating the text dialogue as he plays... I'll keep searching, that or figure out how to read japanese so that I can play Japanese SMT whenever
@@joshuagabrielcatindig7607 I mean they have a point, you should play nocturne. that's not a question. either get a PS2, a PS3, a PS4 or Switch and get Nocturne on one of those systems or emulate it on PC.
I wish SMT fans and Persona fans could get along. Alas Persona fans can be Quite Obnoxious about it. I say this as someone who played more Persona than SMT and am not a fan of darker stories like SMT but I appreciate the SMT fans and to some extent do see what makes their games interesting and fun. It boils down to I like stories about saving the world and being heroic over stories where the world ends and everything gets depressing
SMT fans are the obnoxious ones. Because one, Persona fans mind their own business and SMT fans criticise whatever they do, two don't shit on SMT to praise their own games, three only 1% of Persona fans unironically use break free persona, but SMT fans go fighting windmills and attack everyone. They're elitists who see their games as perfect through nostalgia tinted shades
Some Persona "fans" are pretty whinny (though most of them are not really fans because they haven't even played Persona that's why they beg for a port) while some SMT fans are elitist assholes
I may prefer persona to smt, but I'm really glad that we get more accessibility to smt. I'm not too far in nocturne, just up to matador, so it'll be nice to start over with the remaster.
@@Slenderquil Do not dekaja dood, the max you could bring down his agility is to +1. If you reset it to zero with dekaja he'll only just cast capote again.
@@rollpra6194 if my fastest demon dekajas, then my other ones have a chance at hitting him and he can waste a turn using red capote. One turn out of 4 available to me is less important than one turn out of Matador's 2. What would I even do instead of dekaja?
Here's a secret. The SMT side of the fanbase is actually just a bunch of tsunderes trying to pose as gatekeepers, that are trying to stealth reccomend underloved games to others. They can't just be honest and up front, because I AM THE BUG INSIDE YOU. I HAVE YOUR BACK TO THE WALL.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Not all of them. I am a SMT fan, even though I like the Persona games (not ones like Q and Dancing All Night) ... I enjoy both series equally. They are games, they are meant to be played and enjoyed for each is an unique experience in their own right.
Persona isn't SMT. I don't even mean that in a bad way. Each game uses similar things like characters and powers but their gameplay and especially story are different enough to where comparing them for a sense of standards isn't even right. Persona is more linear while SMT gives you an open map. There's a lot more to it but that alone changes so much
I started out as a Persona fan, but now after seeing the light I am an SMT fan. I legitimately lost my mind when I saw that direct mini because I was so happy they announced more for the game.
Can’t wait for the video in a years time where it’s the end of the episode. SMT has gone mad with power and then everything goes back to the way it used to be.

In Devil Summoner 2, by taking one of the cases, Raido (the Devil Summoner from a different reality/dimension) enters Sakuradayama through an interdimensional rift (for a lack of a better term) and is followed by Mara - a chariot riding penis demon.
All in all, both series have qualities that make them some of the best games around ... and have the potential to be timeless classics in gaming history.
Ian Moone one question can you control your full party in SMT games?
@@platinumskulls4490
Okay. Here is the best way to answer that question. That is if you mean to select what your summoned demons do while in battle.
SMT III: Nocturne
------------------------------
Type: Turn-Based RPG
Full Control: YES.
Downside: If the MC dies ... Game over - even if the demons you summoned are still alive.
Fusion: YES
SMT IV
SMT IV: APOCALYPSE
--------------------------------------
Type: Turn-Based RPG
Full Control: YES.
Fusion: YES
SMT: Digital Devil Saga
SMT: Digital Devil Saga 2
------------------------------------------
Type: Turn-Based RPG
Full Control: YES.
Upside: You can change Skills at any time (outside of battle). Say if your next boss is WEAK to Ice. You can equip Ice skills to exploit the weakness of the boss to make the battle real easy.
Fusion: NOT AVAILABLE
SMT: Devil Summoner
SMT: Devil Summoner 2
-----------------------------------------
Type: Strategy RPG
Full Control: YES
Fusion: YES
(Note that Devil Summoner and Devil Summoner 2 are NOT turn-based, and NOT strategy RPG. Look up a video of any battle from either game on CZcams to understand what I mean.)
SMT: Devil Survivor
SMT: Devil Survivor 2
SMT: Devil Survivor 2 Director's Cut
-----------------------------------------------------------
Type: Strategy RPG
Full Control: YES
Fusion: YES
SMT: Strange Journey
SMT: Strange Journey Redux
-------------------------------------------------
Type: Dungeon Crawler Turn-Based RPG
Full Control: YES
Fusion: YES
Ian Moone what do you know I might actually give SMT a shot now
@@platinumskulls4490
If you have a Nintendo Switch, choosing between III HD Remaster or V could be as easy as flipping a coin and choosing what you choose for heads, and what you choose for tails. In Nocturne, not only can you fuse demons to create stronger demons, some evolve. Fusion result demons can learn skills from the two demons used in Fusion, if you do not like the skills the Fusion result demon can have, you can back out and recheck the inherited skills. Think of it as a reroll. Just like what stat increases a Persona might get from a Fusion Result (depending on how much EXP the Social Link/Confidant Rank will give to make the resulting Persona to be at a higher level). Say the resulting Persona you want focuses more on using magic, but you want it to have more Vitality and Agility ... but one of the stat increases is Strength, you could do the reroll process until you get the stat increases you are satisfied with.
But if you want to play a SMT game well before the release of III HD Remaster and V ...
If you have a 3DS, you could choose
Devil Survivor Overclocked (I forgot that title). DSO plays generally the same as Devil Survivor, but has voice acting. I think it has a few extras, but I cannot remember, it has been a long time since I played that one.
There is Devil Survivor 2 Director's Cut (which has more story and more bosses). I never got to play that one, so I am not sure if there are more demons.
Strange Journey Redux has more story, more bosses and a new character.
I do not want to leave spoilers.
There are things about the SMT games that sst them apart from the Persona series, and vice-versa.
Nocturne has an element in which the choices you make throughout determine the ending you get. There are about six endings.
Digital Devil Saga 2 has one difference near on the last part of the game, it depends on two particular choices you make in DDS2 ... and two in DDS1.
I only played Devil Summoner and Devil Summoner 2 once before my PS2 stopped reading every disk (game disk, music CD and DVD). I am not sure if those games have different endings or just one for each game.
When I played SMT IV, I had to go through a series of fusions just to create Asura what was a powerful Physical attacker with a high Strength stat, but had a decent Magic stat for him to use Agidyne several times, and made sure for him to have a passive skill known as Drain Ice so that any time he was hit by an Ice attack, he would heal instead of taking serious damage since he was normally weak to Ice. I gave him Charge so that his next attack was brutal. I also had him with other skills that brought out his full potential.
It took lots of Macca, having to summon this demon and that demon to create this demon and that demon, so on and so on. I made a list of what Skills I wanted Asura to have, and checked to see which demons had those skills, I fused them with demons of the right race and level just to make sure that by then time I could fuse the final two demons to create, I had all of the skills necessary in order to make Asura perfect. That was just ONE demon, I then had to that over and over until my entire roster was filled with all of my favorite demons ... each one perfected with the right set of skills for each one. I then had to max out their stats by grinding for Incense, in the end - it was more than worth it.
Persona fans: REEEEEEEE
SMT fans: *do what you must for I have already won*
Wise
Cant they be fan of both?
Me, a fan of both: yo, anybody got popcorn?
@@KKarkatVantas no
I never played an SMT game and as much as I am one of those “*REEEEEEE*” level persona fans, I’m happy for you guys, you finally got what you wanted for the switch
I come back to this video from time to time, it feels me with such joy
After Jun 13 2020,
P4G: Finally, I’m here!
SMT: That’s nice, your seats over there (points to P1, P2 IS, and P2 EP).
Uh, it is actually July that happened, not June on the title.
Nice video btw! Glad to see that it got a follow-up. 👍
@@japoreanS it is
My own hubris has revealed how truly foolish I am...
Kinda makes me glad I took the step into smt. Didnt anticipate an actual release date when I bought Nocturne on ps3 but you'll be happy to know the previous video was why I took the step
This makes me feel good
Especially after the last video
when your spinoff series becomes more popular than your actual mainline series
ikr shin megami tensei stole all the attention from megami tensei smh
Happened to Donkey kong as well
Happened with Rune Factory, Drakengard, Donkey Kong.
This hits harder now that the game is out and ign had persona feel meme going on
As a die hard persona fan
I cannot wait to buy SMT 3 and 5
@Okarin there are more of us then you think. It's just that we're more silent compared to the other "fans"
I have never played Shin Megami but it looks great I am getting it for sure.
@Okarin i usually split persona fans into 2
"Persona fans"
"Persona 5 fans"
@@cainiwakura Why
I loved the persona games and want to get into SMT but I heard that they’re really hard. Since I’m bad at video games I thought I should just watch a let’s play but should I buy 3 and 5 when they come out?
I was waiting for this, haha. Love the video!
Perfect link to the previous video you made.
It just works so well!
Shin megami tensei fans comming out of the basement after years of waiting.
Kinda a little pumped to try my first SMT game
This gived me LIFE!!!! never thought that actualy a new SMT will arrive ( also the way it says SMT its so badass xD )

i love persona. i liked Revelations Persona back in the day, loved 3, 4, and 5. but I will never apologize for saying SMT > Persona any day of the week ^^ SMT3N and SMT5 HYPE
eh it depends on which SMT game, because in my opinion the PS2 era of SMT is my favourite mostly for the 3d presentation and playstyle of the games, I wish SMT Nine had gotten an international release though. sadly it never got ported to another system. however I think there's a fan translation so I might be able to run it if Xbox Emulation is good enough, which I suspect it either is already good enough or it's getting there.
@@WednesdayMan If there is a translation for Nine out there spread the knowledge bro, I'd personally love to play that weird mmo hybrid game.
@@XeviousvSBlackmanta the only translation I know of out there is a youtuber known as Frog Sensei translating the text dialogue as he plays... I'll keep searching, that or figure out how to read japanese so that I can play Japanese SMT whenever
I do wish elitists would stop with the whole mantra of "If you haven't played Nocturne, you're trash and shouldn't be here."
@@joshuagabrielcatindig7607 I mean they have a point, you should play nocturne. that's not a question. either get a PS2, a PS3, a PS4 or Switch and get Nocturne on one of those systems or emulate it on PC.
Dude this fits in so well...I immediately thought if your last vid
I'm just glad to see the SMT series coming back again. That Nocturne collectors edition shall be mine!
I feel happy now
Unless they're bringing Raidou Kuzunoha back they can resume wandering.
What the game?
Cause dante probably won't appear in the hd version since raido kuzonoha was there.
@@ricardohernandezr5765 iirc they're using Raidou for the remaster, but I mean either giving Raidou his own remaster or a sequel.
@@crossbones116 well maybe, i never played the 1 , just played the second.
@@ricardohernandezr5765 Maybe,, just maybe, there will be a Dante DLC...
Dx2 mobile gacha had fucking Dante in it (and Bayonetta, and Gutts...).
@@ShionKenobi maybe or maybe they stick to the original don't know, time will tell.
Still great anyway.
And here I thought the last video worked perfectly. This surpasses perfection.
Either way, it feels good to be an SMT fan again!
i'm so glad you made a sequel
They should make a spin off w demi fiend and a persona protagonist
SMT here to remind Persona fans that they follow a spinoff title
Why's a spin-off selling more than a mainline
MT here to remind Shin megami tensei fans that they follow a spinoff title
Who cares
@@0tavi081 it's not a spinoff title tho, it's a direct series continuation of MT so you're factually wrong on that point
@@fosso8803 it's a joke calm down
I love their fans start at p3 😂
I was waiting for this video the moment I saw the two trailers.
ONE MORE GOD REJECTED.
As a persona fan let me just say, congratulations and I am curious about mainline now
@Orion Street oh stop both franchises are good for different reasons
@Orion Street Both are good. Simple, really. :/
@Orion Street be quiet
@Orion Street i like both
But I honestly prefer Persona
As some one who got into main line smt through persona u lucky you get to play 3 on the switch with voice acting
I wish SMT fans and Persona fans could get along. Alas Persona fans can be Quite Obnoxious about it. I say this as someone who played more Persona than SMT and am not a fan of darker stories like SMT but I appreciate the SMT fans and to some extent do see what makes their games interesting and fun. It boils down to I like stories about saving the world and being heroic over stories where the world ends and everything gets depressing
Both can tbh. It’s like picking law or chaos. Fuck that I’m just going neutral and liking everything Megaten
SMT fans are the obnoxious ones. Because one, Persona fans mind their own business and SMT fans criticise whatever they do, two don't shit on SMT to praise their own games, three only 1% of Persona fans unironically use break free persona, but SMT fans go fighting windmills and attack everyone. They're elitists who see their games as perfect through nostalgia tinted shades
Minor Tatu you clearly did not see the reaction Persona Fans had over the announcement.
Some Persona "fans" are pretty whinny (though most of them are not really fans because they haven't even played Persona that's why they beg for a port) while some SMT fans are elitist assholes
Fosso yeah I must admit I don’t think a port would work, least not for 5 especially not 5R but I could see 3 FES or 4 Golden
SMT is back baby!
I may prefer persona to smt, but I'm really glad that we get more accessibility to smt. I'm not too far in nocturne, just up to matador, so it'll be nice to start over with the remaster.

@@donaldtrump2728 Already on it. I just need to figure out which demon has dekaja
@@Slenderquil Do not dekaja dood, the max you could bring down his agility is to +1. If you reset it to zero with dekaja he'll only just cast capote again.
@@rollpra6194 if my fastest demon dekajas, then my other ones have a chance at hitting him and he can waste a turn using red capote. One turn out of 4 available to me is less important than one turn out of Matador's 2.
What would I even do instead of dekaja?
@@Slenderquil spam sukukaja then use sukunda 3 times like i did

Beautiful sequel to a beautiful video
love how this meme has a happy sequel
I beat Nocturne and DDS on PS3 recently and goddamn am I ready to go Hard Mode for the PS4! I’m in danger!
With the power of pierce raidou
So in this case, chaos or order? Because I feel like a certain balance was restored.
Probably neutrality
Chaos
So happy to welcome the pioneer back. Can't wait to play on Switch & PS5.
I love how nocturn is in the perfect spot
What?
Its so funny to me that SMT fans fight each other.
This has to be the only franchise with such a divided fanbase.
Here's a secret.
The SMT side of the fanbase is actually just a bunch of tsunderes trying to pose as gatekeepers, that are trying to stealth reccomend underloved games to others.
They can't just be honest and up front, because I AM THE BUG INSIDE YOU. I HAVE YOUR BACK TO THE WALL.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 you're.. actually not wrong
@@aprinnyonbreak1290
Not all of them. I am a SMT fan, even though I like the Persona games (not ones like Q and Dancing All Night) ... I enjoy both series equally.
They are games, they are meant to be played and enjoyed for each is an unique experience in their own right.
Persona isn't SMT. I don't even mean that in a bad way. Each game uses similar things like characters and powers but their gameplay and especially story are different enough to where comparing them for a sense of standards isn't even right. Persona is more linear while SMT gives you an open map. There's a lot more to it but that alone changes so much
@@tylercafe1260 The fact that the series is literally called Shin Megami Tensei: Persona seems to disagree
Truly a great resolution to an age-old dilemma.
As a fan of both, I can't wait for SMT5!
What a epic sequel while using the same episode from American Dad
I feel like you picked this episode in case something like this happened
Shin Megami Tensei V: Am I a joke to you?
Atlus: Not anymore. (kicks Persona 5 for having dreams of being on Switch)
Pre ordered the SMT3 CE as soon as it was up on amazon! Can’t wait 🔥 smt is back !💪
can you pre order it on psn store? this is exciting, can't wait, hopefully we see more smt spin offs remastered like dds
This is why I paid internet
I was going to comment on the original but then I saw this 😂😂😂 its too perfect.

Please destroy our community especially the p5 fans

Amateurs. Try to be a fan from shin megami tensei: devil survivor series. Devil Survivor 2 was the 3ds game for me
Direct: *exists*
SMT 3 & 5: Allow is to introduce ourselves
I started out as a Persona fan, but now after seeing the light I am an SMT fan. I legitimately lost my mind when I saw that direct mini because I was so happy they announced more for the game.
It's not that you can't be a fan of both series, it's just that making fun of persona is REALLY fun
Exactly
you said it perfectly
I as someone who prefers Persona, but loves Mainline, I only have one thing to say:
ONE MORE MILKING REJECTED
Dancing over P1 or 2 kinda killed me
Can’t wait for the video in a years time where it’s the end of the episode. SMT has gone mad with power and then everything goes back to the way it used to be.
