Currently playing pic related, why does everything not persona (3, 4 or 5) get slept on, SMT is essentially adult pokemon with actual story and engaging mechanics.

I loved everything of SH but the friend system and the even more ridicilous demon negotation luck filtered me too hard.

Timing the fight with Baal in Nocturne to skip her summoner phase with a charged Divine Shot after getting demolished by her over and over
Starting up SJR soon, anything to watch out for as I'm leveling my character?
Make sure to get STR based Space Marine, as he's the only one that can really dish damage out.

The entirety of the Expanse section in SMT II was the most immersed I've been in SMT. I loved it.

1v1 with Finnegan and the Tokyo reveal in 4 are both high points. It's hard to pin down a best memory though
Hoping we get something really good from SMTV at E3
Hey Yea Forums, I have a friend who loves SMT. I saw his collection of games, and the box art just captures me. I get really interested and think "damn I'd love to play that". However, I'm very novice when it comes to JRPGs as I only play Pokemon and a few FF's on SNES. Also, I get turned off when I hear games take 50+ hours to beat. I love the music, though. Shoji Meguro is prime.
What game is best to get my feet wet with the series? For your troubles, here is the DDS1 intro which I like, though having never played it or any SMT game before.
DDS may be a decent choice as it's more similar to traditional jrpgs like FF. Though if you want something different from what you're used to Nocturne is the way to go.
SMT4’s a pretty good starting point. If you’re too worried about difficulty, then the beginning may be a turn off for you but it becomes progressively easier as you move past the tutorial section. It’s by far the most accessible SMT game, I’m a JRPG novice myself and I got accustomed to the battle system fairly quickly. The biggest downside to playing 4 is that sidequests can be really vague at times and the map itself is pretty overwhelming and annoying to traverse.
Here are some of my favorite tracks.

Funny thing is that I played Nocturne a bit at his place and while I had fun, it didn't hook me in very much. I should definitely dust off my PS2 and see if he can let me borrow DDS.
Cool. thanks user. Good reminder for me to go hack my 3DS, too...
there is something magical about soul hackers. i think it is because it feels like a time capsule from the 90s. the atmosphere is fucking killer as all hell. i guess you could say is has lots of SOUL.
I agree and think that's why it's hooked me. It's truly the pinnacle of 90's anime cyberpunk aesthetic wrapped around a tight demon friend simulator
SMT IV is a good starting spot unless you're a retro type guy, in which case you might like just going in order from I. After you've started only I and II and IV and Apocalypse are connected story wise but the gameplay takes big strides with each iteration
The mainline games are a bit less like your typical jrpgs in that they focus less on characters and plot, cutscenes being rather short and sparser. With DDS it's similar to other jrpgs with its mechanics and greater emphasis on plot and characters.
Judah rules, i thought his head wrap was Versace for the longest time which would make sense because he's an absolute baller
It's got a truly unique feel. There's the typical Cyberpunk setting but you've also got the vr game thing Japan loves and then the classic SMT techno-mysticism mixed in. And then you get a layer of Native American mysticism on top of all of them. It's an experience unlike any other
Sorry for stupid questions but from which SMT game is that image from?

Actually Nocturne is the one with minimal exposition. Other SMT titles are heavier on the storyside though nothing at Persona level.

I really like the first Dante encounter in Nocturne. All the fiend encounters in general are quite memorable to me.
I should probably get around to playing the DDS games but the idea of no demon recruitment or fusion keeps putting me off.
That's just fan art of several demons in the series, the people in the front being the protagonists from the mainline games.

>didn't beat it til 2017 after I realized I had maybe an hour left
I'm not even sure what to play next.
how long does it take to finish the games of the series? would i be able to marathon these games (strange journey, raidou 1, smt 4/apocalypse, soul hackers, devil survivor 1/2, persona 4 and q2) this summer or at least this year? i have already finished nocturne, dds 1/2 and persona 3 in that order.
They're all about that length. It's not a series you can easily marathon.
literally me: the post
Megaten's defining trait is it's demons. What makes the series so different from not just other jrpgs, but media in general, is it's faithful use of figures from mythologies, folklore, the occult, urban legends, and more. For example, in Final Fantasy the name "Shiva" is used but it's Shiva is just Shiva in name, nothing like the real deity. In megaten this is, in fact, the true Shiva of Hindu mythology, and designed to recreate him just as he appears in Hindu mythology. No series uses such an array of figures while creating faithful and interesting depictions of them.
I like it. Reminds me of old Yu-Gi-Oh! art.
As time went on the art got better and better. It's really cool looking through the different games to see how much its changed.

Debatable.
Depends on how long you play per day, they're mostly fairly lengthy jrpgs. Id recommend just going at a normal pace and not trying to race through. You lose some of the fun if you just play to get to the next one and not to enjoy the experience

Beating hard bosses like YHVH or Mem Aleph by sheer luck in the very last turn. As for story, persona 3's ending
Most SMT games are pretty long but Soul Hackers and both DDS games are quite short
