Message: [QUOTE="Evaccaneer Doom, post: 188780, member: 41573"] SMT games with explanations on if they’re good beginner picks Megami Tensei: Oldest game with a lot of unique jank like enemies de-leveling you and forcing you to grind, don’t recommend as a starter Megami Tensei II: Paved the way for future games and is still pretty solid overall. Use a guide though, old ass NES game is never gonna have easy traversal Shin Megami Tensei: Not that bad of a game to go through but use a guide. Shinjuku Mall’s map alone could confuse the hell out of you Shin Megami Tensei II: This game is pretty brain dead easy tbh, to a degree that’s kinda uncharacteristic of SMT. Still recommend it as it has one of the most interesting stories in the franchise but maybe not as a starter pick cause you’ll be flabbergasted by how difficult the other games are. Use a guide too cause just like its predecessor, it has that Famicom vagueness Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei: Better way to play Megami Tensei 1 and 2 if: Yeah I’m not gonna lie you do not want to start with this game. Mainly because of the dungeons, they’re very…unique for SMT. And then there’s World of Sloth, worst of them all. PSX remakes: Never played them so I can’t speak on them. Currently waiting for them all to get Retroachievements, and you probably should too. PSX SMT if is the better version by far for expanded music in one route SMT Nine: sure is a game all right Nocturne: Currently the most accessible and ironically despite its difficulty, is a solid starter. You’ll get a feel for the battle system of using debuffs and/or buffs to get past bosses instead of brute force. Previous games also did this but Nocturne makes it a forefront. Strange Journey (Redux): Great game, I kinda view them as separate as Redux changes a lot of things like the endings and story. Either or, though a lot seem to prefer the original game IV: There’s a reason people sing this game’s praises all these years later. If you can, pick this one up IVA: Haven’t played it so I don’t know if the hate is justified. I just know that it’s a sequel that was originally going to be DLC, so there’s a lot of reused music from IV V: Delisted, moving on VV: My favorite SMT and absolutely a great starting point. You can pick your favorite demon and with the right setups take them to the end and that’s what I love. I’m mid game and I still got a Mermaid on deck. These are only mainline and the original games, others are spinoffs and have their own varying reasons to or not to play them first. That said, give Digital Devil Saga, Persona, Soul Hackers, Majin Tensei II, Last Bible III, etc a shot [/QUOTE]
