I still prefer the mainline Shin Megami Tensei series though ... story and gameplay-wise, it's one step ahead of it's cousin.

A great game nonetheless.

You think SMT's story and gameplay is ahead of Persona?

I know there are a lot of hot takes on VGC, but even this one surprises me.

I've only played P4 and 5, but it doesn't seem so unreasonable to me that he'd prefer one over the other. Persona has a much stronger cast of characters, but the story itself really doesn't have the same level of focus, and forces suspension of disbelief much more. Personally I prefer the more character-focused stories of Persona, but I can understand if someone prefers a more plot-focused story.

OT: You're welcome Zura!
