| Strife2 01/03/18 8:25:42 PM #23: | SMT as a whole tends to veer towards dystopia, depressing, and cataclysmic events. Persona (3 to a lesser extent), has a lot more whimsy and slice of life moments of fun. SMT also has a more straightforward RPG/dungeon crawl situation going. Persona does for the first 2, but it got popular following the "daily life/dating simulator" starting with 3. I wouldn't say Persona is all that hard of a franchise...but it can be cheap as shit. The mobile games and 5 tend to break the difficulty into pieces due to some design choices with the support characters. I won't say each game in the franchises are good (cause P1 and P2 have some REALLY slow ass battles in the remakes). I think stick with SMT if you want more gameplay, difficulty, and threatening/horror vibes. Persona is great for characters and their daily struggles. For the spinoffs, Devil Survivor is one of the few SRPG games I liked, and PQ was a good dungeon crawl with a distinctly different flavor (basically a different game franchise with Persona characters instead). --- "Evening caress, Always yearning, I must confess, The stars aren't burning" Copernicus - Candlemass ...
