So forgot to mention here (I think lol) - that I beat Shin Megami Tensei V on the Nintendo Switch.
Great game but has its flaws. I enjoyed it for its open world and loose lore in the side quests but the....main story is pretty weak especially coming into the game after playing Shin Megami Tensei IV, IV Apocalypse, Strange Journey, Soul Hackers and both of the Devil Survivor games - its even weaker than the Person games too.
Aside from that, the gameplay, music and the variety of demons you can encounter and use were great.
Suffered the same issues that Final Fantasy XV basically had because like SMTV, FFXV I enjoyed the outside of the main story lore, gameplay, sidequests and the music.
