Strange journey was my first and I thought it was pretty good
I want to get into the SMT series. Which game is a good place to start?
Devil Survivor 1 or Nocturne
>SMT
>Persona
Image being this retarded
Why did you call out Persona but not anyone saying DDS or Devil Survivor?
DeSu 2 record breaker
Not SMT but Kyuyaku Megami Tensei has MTI&II, with I being a really nice, simple introduction to the franchise, and II being a genuine underrated gem.
Whatever you do don't start with anything on PS2
Persona really is a separate series at this point, whilst the various SMT spin-offs stay much more true to the SMT soul and feel
What is the SMT "soul and feel"? Because the tone varies wildy from game to game, tonally Raidou is nothing like DDS which is nothing like Nocturne which is nothing like Strange Journey
What the fuck
Not him, but that's one of the main issues with this fandom. You can mention DDS, Devil Survivor, Soul Hackers, whatever as good entry games to the series and people won't bat an eye. However, the moment you mention Persona people lose their minds. There's almost always a particular bias against Persona, whether it be the fanbase (which is actually cancerous as all hell), or the popularity it's received over the years in comparison to SMT. It's truthfully unnecessary, but there's nothing you can do about it. People will continue to be biased until the end of time, and it'll probably get worse when SMTV releases and people try to gatekeep.
