 I'd also rate Strange Journey (which I consider a main series game, I don't know why it wasn't numbered)

Didn't take place in Tokyo.

It was okay, but never been crazy about first person combat and in part my fault, but had trouble figuring out what to do leading to sections being brute forced to figure out where I was supposed to go.


After a bit I just followed IGN's walkthrough. It helped a lot.

I am currently watching a lets play of Nocturne. Sadly I have no way to play it myself.

(I also just got SMT Devil Survivor Overlocked btw which I will start playing soon)

I also might get Persona 5 if I ever get a PS4. I'll probably watch some lets plays on 3 or 4 though.


You should just pick up a PS2 for cheap instead of watching videos...

There are more than enough SMT games on it + other games to justify a purchase. Plus all the games are cheap now.

I can get it for cheap yes but I have a huge backlog on both my 3DS and Wii U so I'm going to try and get those done while I wait for games like Splatoon and Xeno X. Also I'm saving my money for those games.

That is why I'm watching lets plays.

SMT IV is pretty good. Harder than I expected when I first played it though XD

SMTIV was such an excellent game, and I don`t know why! The battles being 1st person should be a turn off, since you can`t see the characters, but the battle system is so fun! Exploiting the weaknesses of your enemies and getting extra attacks is so satisfying, especially when you get a smirk! x ) And getting more new monsters is so great! It kind of feels like pokemon. Gotta catch `em all... The story was good too... : )

Yeah the only thing I wish they change is for you to be able to see the characters and demons all with 3D models. That would be absolutely amazing.

I enjoyed the game overall...though it took me around a year to build up the motivation to beat it. The story was great, but I found the characters to be pretty dull for the most part. I did enjoy the combat and demon summoning/fusing mechanic a lot, enough to try out Devil Survivor and Persona 4 afterwards, both of which I enjoyed a lot more.

Seeing as how SMT IV was my first SMT game, I don't regret it buying it at launch. Even if the game itself wasn't perfect, it was a gateway to franchise I'm hooked on now. I have Persona 3 and Q in my backlog, and I'm looking forward to Devil Survivor 2: BR and Persona 5 when they release.

Yeah, seeing the characters would be great! Oddly though, it never bothered me that it was in first person in SMTIV or when I played Devil Survivor 2. The battle system was just that good : )

Yeah, some of the characters should have been more involved in the story. Namely the ones below.

I'm currently playing Devil Survivor Overlocked and love it so far so I will definitely pick up Devil Survivor 2: RB at some point.
