I got the idea from Japanese Dx2 whales first actually. And then realized they probably have a point after replaying 1. It's more than just this memory loss that feels like a callback. Admittedly almost every game does some kind of call back to smt 1, it just feels like VV is trying much harder. Now that I think about it, Walker and Johnathan aren't too much like the chaos hero and law hero in a lot of ways as much as people said IV is kind of just a rip off of 1. The fact they both kind of start out as black slate Samurai that don't understand the world until they finally see Tokyo isn't like 1 at all.
