Does SMT has a chance of making it big on the West, or is it forever doomed to live under Persona's shadow? As an SMTChad, I'm tired of those smug Personafags laughing at us because of "muh smash" and shit.
Does SMT has a chance of making it big on the West, or is it forever doomed to live under Persona's shadow...

Why are SMTrannies incapable of making a decent thread?

But this is a persoyboy thread

SMT games have shit gameplay and need a complete overhaul before anyone but complete grognards get interested in them
The worst part of modern persona gameplay are the old SMT building blocks they still keep around.
Grayson Perez
tell me when kaneko gets at the helm of SMT again, SMT IV and IVA were awful, P5 felt more like a megaten game then them, IVA especially was dreadful. im excited for SMT V though especially if we get kabbalah as the theological focus
Dylan Cruz
I like SMT and like to play SMT games including Persona
Jason Richardson
umm no sweetie, you're not allowed to do that, smt is less popular so it's bad
Thomas Hill
smt/digimon crossover when?
Jacob Long
Excuse me but can you please stop calling games that aren't part of the SMT series SMT? The name of the franchise is Megaten, which contains different and fantastic series such as SMT, Persona or Devil Survivor!
Grayson Jackson
SMT has already made it big in the west, it's Japanese preferences that determine whether or not SMT games get made
Jayden Foster
The only thing stopping SMT from being popular is Atlus themselves.
Hunter Gutierrez
Okay Mr. Pedant.

Why is Jack Frost so fucking cute lads? I either abhor or feel indifferent to a lot of mascot characters, usually because either they get too much exposure or are completely overshadowed by other characters or both. Jack Frost is like the only exception, he’s just so dang cute.
Jaxon Morris
I know you're shitposting but this is just objective truth, i don't get it
Aiden Hughes
It would be nice if I had a way of actually purchasing the first 3 games. You can't even buy the ios port of the first game anymore.
Bentley Bailey
he's allowed to have a personality, unlike the pikachus of the world. and unlike teddie, his personality isn't obnoxious.

Isn't SMT that Persona spin-off?
Luis Scott
I expect it will. Persona and Yakuza have recently gotten more popular than they've been in the past because liking anime is trendy and they were already popular series within certain circles and so the release of P5 and Yakuza 0 brought them in the spotlight because there were a lot of people who already liked them to give attention to their new release, and that attention brought in the wider audience of people hopping onto it because it's trendy and word of mouth was getting around about it. SMTV matches those two in being relatively niche, but still with a fairly sizable following, and being Japanese-made to fit in with the trend. All that's left as I see it is for SMTV to be good, and it'll bring in a lot of people. It also has the added benefit of being the first SMT in HD, something that P5 had going for it too with respect to Persona.
Robert Gomez
No. The reason Persona has gotten bigger in the west is the same reason recent Fire Emblem has gotten more popular. The majority of interest in JRPG in the west is in character-focused stories and shipping autism. Most people don't really care about the gameplay, nor are they as attracted to plots that revolve more around themes than around characters. So mainline SMT will never be popular in the west, unless it changed itself to be more like Persona, which would remove its unique appeal and defeat the point of your question.
Ethan Powell
Jack Frost would have been more representative of the Megaten franchise as a whole, and Joker was just a popularity cash-grab.
And also, Smash was always a shit game.
You cannot prove me wrong.
