FIVE FUCKING MORE WEEKS!!!!

but how many more keys? would this make a good first SMT title? that's the boat I'm in

Well, so far, I have bought 14 copies. I was going for 20. Atlus better release some new material to get me EXCITED again!

Hey, if they manage to get you excited again I wouldnt mind a key too if, you are feeling generous. Last SMT game I played was Nocturne on the ps2.

New infos are out.

Some highlights:

• Demi-Fiend can be recruited as Guest character after defeating him in his subquest
• There are timed subquests in Tokyo, and in the Netherworld (moon phases, not main story progression timed)
• Moral Transcendence essence allows you to level beyond LVL 100
  • Virtual Trainer allows you to challenge enemies above LVL 100 via Challenge Mode (that sadly is the LVL100+ content)
• Godborne mode is NG+
  • The elements to be taken over are the same as in “reborn,” but the enemy demons that appear are greatly enhanced. Recommended for those seeking a new playing experience through extreme battles.

Japanese Info trailer in 5 hours:

 

[Jermu]

hope this is another case of requiring to wait for ng+ save to have any challenge

well that sounds like a good challenge if starting from level 1

This game plans to unlock in approximately 4 weeks

Disappointed though that Guest characters will not appear in the Original route even though Tao for example is traversing with you in the 2nd area of Da'at. Shit would have been so easy to implement. Really a missed opportunity to spice the original campaign a little bit. :/

That sucks, I won't bother with the original route again if the guests are exclusive to the new one.

In any case, the new demon.

I've played Nocturne and Strange Journey. Should I play this or 4/Apocalypse next when I'm in the mood for more satanic Pokemon? I'm leaning towards this since I prefer to play games natively on PC rather than emulating and if the numbered entries don't have any interconnected stories I might just do that.

You can NEVER go wrong with SMTIV. Absolute kino game.

Is it better than 5? Maybe I should start with 5 then cause it will be harder going from a better game to a worse game. Are there any story connections I might miss if I skip order?

No story connections. And they are both great games on their own where each game has its own particular weakness. But objectively speaking, most people would argue that SMTIV is the better overall game/experience compared to base SMTV. And I would say so too.

Is the main difference between SMT and Persona that Persona has the whole social sim thing going on and is (I think) about high school kids doing whatever?

That's only Persona 3 onwards. The main thematic difference of classic SMT vs Persona in general is so post apocalypse fiction with demons while Persona is Urban Fantasy mystery. Demon as party member in SMT vs Demon converted to Persona (in P1 and P2 all party members can change Persona freely like the MCs of 3 onwards).

Next is Cleopatra

 

[Nathir]

Vritra is such a god-tier design.

Next is Cleopatra

Yo wtf, check 00:23. Looks like Nanashi from SMT4A.

Spoiler

it is probably Yoko in her Panagia form

Noticed. I expected to see it in the next PV, not in a random demon showcase.



Cleo's showcase, btw. Next is Gogmagog.

Original Switch version + its DLCs will be delisted in June. Will keep my physical copy, then.

 

[Grunker]

How does this run on Switch? I've recently been playing Persona 3 Reload and SMT Nocturne, and I love both games. Can't believe I've been playing so many other mediocre jRPGs and never realized how much this series catered to me gameplay-wise (I hate the aesthetics but hey, what can you do). I'm gonna play the entire series for sure in time, but I'd love to play SMT V Vengeance on the switch, however:

1) I've been burned on demanding games on the Switch before. I'm thinking because this was specifically made for the console, I'll be alright?

2) For Persona 5 Royal I've read you need mods to disable OP trash DLC. Will that be the case for Vengeance as well?

 

[Hobo Elf]

If we are to judge the series based on its history then Persona games always got easier with the expansions while the mainline MegaTens went from easy to being overall more consistent in their challenge with Strange Journey Redux being a bit of an odd duck existing somewhere in the middle for me.

SMTV ran "fine" for an UE4 game on the Switch. But definitely frame drops to the 20s here and there. I personally would recommend to play it on any other platform but the Switch. Just wait a little bit longer for PV03, and I might gift the game to you for PC.

And P5R is an absolute piss easy game without any sort of challenge besides maybe one or two super bosses and the first dungeon on HARD. But yeah, you definitely should deactivate these items.
