1991? Isn't that Persona 2?

>>725410092
No, better.

How do people feel about 2 in general compared to 1 anyways? I like a lot about the second one, but I still think I prefer 1's story overall.

>>725411589
I prefer 2s setting more than 1

>>725411589
I like 1's story as a premise for a setting where supernatural influence lurks about, but I feel like 2 delves into the actual premise of supernatural influence on a civilization shape by it.

>>725408993 (OP)
Why can't SMT be this good anymore?

>>725411589
I like 1 a lot more than 2 desu. 2 is more ambitious I'll admit but I think 1 has everything connect together significantly better. The mystical cosmic feel of it adds a lot to the atmosphere. 2 felt more like you're just bumbling into places until Satan decides to be a prick.

already played and beat it multiple tiems, I'm trying the PSX version now.
>>725411589
I prefer 1 even if 2 got more content, 1's atmosphere is unmatched, BUT 2's setting is fantastic and quite unique all in all

I want to post a pic from Devil Survivor and say "there is another" but all I've got is this.

I love how fast pace this RPG is. This is easily a "Japanese" Fallout 1.

>>725411589
I like 2 a lot better. 10/10 setting (Actual Cyberpunk), the BEST Law route in the series, the BEST Neko variant, better story, and a good amount of catgirls in general. Back tracking suck balls, though. Its probably the only SMT where you don't take shit from Lucy, humiliate and kill him.

>>725418312
Most replayable SMT game easily

>>725408993 (OP)
very true

When did SMT decline?

>>725422654
When they realize how much money persona could make them.

>>725408993 (OP)
It was my first first person dungeon crawler, what a great way to be introduced to the genre. Everything from its atmosphere to music to exploration was just fantastic to me, although I would still like a hard mode that actually makes it more challenging in combat specifically. My only gripe in what I otherwise consider to be totally superb gaming.
>>725422654
I haven't played Devil Summoner or Soul Hackers yet, so maybe I'll see a decline there, maybe not. My guess is probably not, they look fun. For me I felt a noticeable difference going from SMT1 and 2 to Nocturne, initially hating it until I learned to love it for what it is rather than what it isn't. I still like newer SMT but man, the Super Famicom era of Megaten is so cool and unique to me.

>>725411589
I love 2, particularly how it builds on 1.
>demons like Pixies, Dwarves, Elves are now NPCs and peaceful
>the Ring of Gaea are pushed away from the center, shown by them being in slums with their healing places mostly in the underworld
>influx of pop culture themed demons far more noticeable than in 1
It works as a sequel, but the concept works as a standalone too. A religious dystopia whose leaders are abandoned by god, leading them to contrive their own miracles right down to an artificial messiah.

>>725422654
Did it? I thought V and VV were pretty successful for the mainline series. Of course, Persona is Atlus' darling, but what can you do?

I thought Mazio wasn't introduced until SMT3?
