What a surreal year for Atlus fans.
I mean, think about it. We've gone from years of silence and nothingness in the PS2/PS3 era to multiple multiplatform releases from Atlus in a year: P3 Reload, SMT5: Vengeance, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Unicorn Overlord (via Vanillaware)

I enjoyed it on Switch. Personally I like this better than Persona; less time wasted on dialogue without a lot of content.
I'll pick this up on a deep sale since I already bought it once.

I'm enjoying immensely Persona 5 Royal. so I'm wondering if I should check this one at some point. I've heard the Shin Megami Tensei games are lighter on story (which isn't a downside, considering Persona can sometimes go a long while without combat) but the combat itself is somewhat similar... And that part intrigues me, the Persona battle system isn't bad at all.

Atlus shenanigans aside, I'm ready for some Vengeance.

SMT uses press turn while Persona 3-5 uses Once More system, in SMT there is much more risk and reward because you can lose your turns if you are not careful.
Also unlike Persona in SMT your Demons are your actual party members and you can use your points to level up individual status for your character.

I'll always vote for Shin Megami Tensei.

Oh, I see. So it has more RPG elements and I'm guessing you can recruit the demons like in Persona, but instead here they fight alongside? Kinda reminds me FFXIII-2 in that regard

I would think of it like an old school dungeon crawler like Wizardry almost, just hard fights and battles, minimal story.Oh, I see.

Imagine Persona without the social aspects. It's all gameplay here, more challenging and imo better than Persona's.
The exploration is better too, since instead of corridor dungeons you get to explore big open areas (but not open world!) full of sidequests and stuff to find.

In mainline SMT there is no S.link and your Demons are not like "Persona" that you equip to your character, they are your actual party members.

Can't say I'm too keen on ATLUS' whole re-release practices but they added a whole new campaign, save data support and tons of changes/fixes this time. Damn I sorta envy Playstation first time players.

Don't really pre order games at all anymore. This one I did.

Imagine Pokemon but with sexy demons (If you only have female demons in your time, like I do), higher difficulty and Atlus' turn-based combat.
