Keep it up atlus.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
Gotta get started on Nocturne first, but this is an awesome trend.
Hope Europe stops getting the shaft at some point, though.

If you had to choose one, this or Nocturne?

Doubt it. Theres only 2 more PS2 SMT games to go.
TGS has been such a joke in recent years. Last year it was like it came and went and no one even knew it happened.

Must be why Atlus stayed away from it and opted for their Nov 24 livestream event instead.
This one and it's an easy choice. No knock against Nocturne tho :3
I liked Nocturne much more. I can't recall a lot of details as it's been around a decade, but I just found Saga to be a bit too grindy with so many battles and I remember really forcing myself to finish. Nocturne is one of my all-time favorite games. I'd still buy both though, as it's been so long.

Agreed....except I'll be a dick and knock on Nocturne a bit. It doesn't come even close to DDS.
Nocturne is a straight up GOAT. I'd look at both on YouTube first though. See which one you like more.

This is just a lesson that pretty much everything will be re-released eventually (cept for maybe Panzer Dragoon Saga). I remember going through a mad scramble to get alot of the gems ive missed the tail end of PS2's lifespan including a bunch of megaten games. I wonder if the physical copies still are worth anything?
This one is more story driven than Nocturne, but lacks demon fusion. It's also an easier game.
If I had to choose one it would most definitely be Nocturne.
Edit: Besides, I'd wait for Digital Devil Saga 2 to hit the store as well before getting this one. It's a 20-25 hours game and ends with a "To Be Continued...". You'd be crushed if you finished the game and the sequel wasn't available.

Sadly, I'd kill to play it and DDS2 on Vita.

I loved DDS way more than Nocturne and its soundtrack as well. But I say let Nocturne be first so you can get a taste of the SMT world.

Yeah, a dds1 & 2 package (since they're essentially one game) on Vita would be so awesome. I'd prefer a Nocturne-version for Vita first though.

Have beaten this game five times over the years but yet to knock out the optional boss

In an alternate reality where the Vita has healthy publisher support, this is happening. Alongside Dreamcast 3.
$10 is the perfect price point for this and Nocturne.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
It could happen. Atlus has seen a ton of success on the Vita. P4G sold like hotcakes, and Conception II supposedly shipped twice as many Vita copies as 3DS ones.
Isn't that the whole point of PSnow though ?
Yea but these came out before Persona got big, I don't see them going back to these games and if they did make a new one it would be heading for 3DS probably. (which I have no issue with
)
Nocturne is classic SMT -- near generic protagonist, hardcore dungeon crawling, monster negotiation and fusing making up your party, morality choices, the whole nine yards.
Digital Devil Saga is "what if that team made a version of Final Fantasy X?". It has a party of heroes that you switch in and out, with their own abilities and move sets. It has a take on the sphere grid to level up your guys. It has a more cinematic story and a more detailed and expansive plot. Still has all the great massive dungeons, enemy grinding, and push system combat the series is known for however.
DDS1 does end in a massive cliff hanger (that basically changes the way the story is viewed), but each of the two games is as long as a typical RPG of that time period. They are both massive games. You can buy and play DDS1 now and Grace would have plenty of time to get DDS2 up on PSN by the time you were done, even on her time schedule.
Nocturne is a great, classic game, but I feel like DDS was the best RPGs released that generation. Takes all the parts I loved about Nocturne and brought it into a presentation and story that I preferred more (a Final Fantasy style). Tremendous story too, even if it does drive straight into crazy-town towards the very end of the second game.
