"Newer Persona games dive into the simulation of a high school student at the cost of RPG mechanics compared to Shin Megami Tensei." - Najam from eXputer.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance brings more of everything the base title brought, including new menus, a new battle system, and improvements that make it a worthy second look.

I have been port begging for awhile for an HD version so it is a day one from me on PS5 even though i have the switch version. Hope it's as polished as P3Reload.
I think this looks cool. I've never played an SMT game before, and I've only recently been getting into the Persona games - my first being P4G on the Vita. P5R is one of my all time favourite RPGs, and I'm currently playing P3R on my PS5 and loving it. I never did play this back on the PS2 so P3R is the first time I've ever played P3, and you're right it's very polished and very stylish, as Persona games tend to be. In spite of the graphical upgrades it does betray it's 2006 roots in some areas though.
I've got SMT V on my wishlist.
I only played SMTIII and i kinda meh on it due to very confusing puzzles and random encounters.
SMTV is different as it has a open world to navigate. And as Persona player you should know that SMTV has no dating sim or alot of story compared to P5. There are choices that affect the ending but I remember one or 2.
What 2006 roots were betrayed?
I almost buy this game on switch, good thing I resisted. Now I can finally play the enhanced version on PS5.
A new Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance gameplay trailer released today highlights the game's extensive new content coming in the re-release.
Want. I've never played an SMT game, but I've played a few Persona games and I understand that mechanically they're very similar so I'm very interested in getting this for PS5.
The best game in the series is smt3: nocturne and it's on all major platforms. I'd play that first.
Persona (particularly 3,4 and 5) is the best thing to come out of Atlus, by far. The only way other games get ruined is by paling in comparison.
That's a bad take.
SMT had a niche following. So did persona. They redid persona starting with three to reach an wider audience. Nothing happened with the original SMT and have stayed the way they were. If they were to revamp that main series you could get what happened with soul hackers lol. You want that?
A spin off is a spin off. Why would they ruin the original? If you like the original then that's great, you can carry on enjoying it. If the spin off is crap it has no impact on the original at all.
I love Persona 5 and P5R but I have zero interest in Strikers or Tactica but even if I played them and didn't like them they wouldn't ruin the original games for me.
Same goes for if you like the SMT games but don't like Persona, why would that suddenly make SMT bad?
