I highly recommend Shin Megami Tensei 4 for the 3DS

For those that don't know, Persona is one of the spin-off titles from the mainline Shin Megami Tensei.

Be forewarned, Shin Megami Tensei is a lot harder than the Persona series. I'm only a few hours in, but I died repeatedly in what is basically the tutorial before I finally gather a team which made things easier. :laugh:

Still kinda wished it was on consoles because Shin Megami Tensei 3 was :lawd:

Hopefully it'll appear on PSN or a HD remake because it was easily on of the top 5 PS2 RPGs


Back to Shin Megami Tensei 4, the Limited Edition set is nice

One thing that separates SMT from other JRPGs is that is has little to no typical JRPG kiddy fluff


Reviews
Shin Megami Tensei IV for 3DS - GameRankings

Shin Megami Tensei IV for 3DS Reviews - Metacritic

on both the game is sitting at 86% from critics and a 9.1 (out of 10) from users
Personally I think it should be where Fire Emblem Awakening is (92%) if not a little higher but :manny:

This is probably the most detailed review

As far as I know they are only selling the LE set (which is why the price is so high). I had preordered mine and I'm glad I did because I haven't seen it displayed anywhere yet.

If have Fire Emblem Awakening and if you get this you can register both of them on Club Nintendo and get $30 eshop credit.

I was getting murdered until I was finally able to get my demons up to a decent level. Now I'm giving them that work:smugdraper:

Yeah it took me a while but I got her without giving her any macca or anything else. You can also cheat a demon once.

Atlus has been using the same Sprites for SMT for 20 years now. You nikkas gotta stop giving them ******s money,bruh.

but ima get that smt4 doe :mjpls:

I think some of them are from Strange Journey but it has a bunch of new ones since a different artist was used. Plus Atlus works on a small budget (also they having financial problems at the moment) so it's fine if they cut a few corners because they continuously drop piff RPGs :yeshrug:
