Same thing I posted in games beaten 2024 thread.
I beat Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, my 6th JRPG of the year. So I first played the original run, which also came with a bunch of DLC. I was surprised by how light on content it was, clocking in at only 70 hours with me basically doing everything. But then again I guess they expect you to do multiple new game plus runs to get all the endings. I just wanted to play new content so I went straight to Canon of Vengeance after that, but I didn't do it with New Game Plus, so it took me quite awhile to redo parts of the story. However, the new content was nice to have. Multiple story changes and new bosses. I didn't have time to do the superbosses as I will go on a 3 week trip away from my game console, but it definitely would take some grinding or preparing a cheese strat. Overall, the whole package was well worth it, I think if I bought the original I would be disappointed in the lack of content, so I definitely recommend people play the Vengeance version.
