ponyseizures is a joke account so who's alt is that?
nah man no alts here. funny enough, I signed up for this website when I wanted to discuss Devil Survivor 2 and those mfs like MetalLoki and HermeticJustice (long gone) convinced me to play Strange Journey. I only post to CE now because it's the last board that gets attention at the rate most used to.

It sounds too Japanese.
Maybe even calling it something dumb and 2000's level generic like NEW GOD would have helped.

it doesnt have the production values of say, Persona.
Why though? Because of the UI? Because of the lack of voice acting or animated cutscenes? Idk Persona 3 has more than Nocturne but it also came out years later. I guess if you were to look at something like Persona 5 vs SMT V, then yeah.

The monster raising mechanics are not deep or interesting. Its just going through menus and choosing to fuse a monster with another to make the next better one.
Another point for Pokemon where you can name, dress and travel alongside the mons. But it ain't my fault no one bought Demikids

I will say that the demons having dialogue is an underrated aspect of SMT, they say incredibly unhinged shit and it's funny

The monsters arent interesting very iconic, for the most
Ehhhh yeah although I like SMT's lore and text tied monsters. It's a tad bit educational, even

Its an rpg. Its hard.
thinking about how many times I've recommended SMT IV to people and they were turned off by the first dungeon. sad! their loss
