I’ve been passingly interested in the Megami Tensei series for a while.

I’ve been a little intimidated by the number of games that may or may not have been translated and all the ports.

I was hoping someone could give me a rundown of the series and where to start, if I should play with fan translations, or whatever else I should know.

I grew up with the nes and snes, so I’m OK with older RPGs and their nuances.

    Story and presentation, really. Persona deals with heavy topics, but it’s framed in a more “slice of life” anime way. If you like managing your time with friends, working on “life skills”, and running dungeons, Persona is for you. Most of your problems are focused on the M.Cs main area.

    SMT is more the fight for the world, deciding if you like this framework and want to work within it, or to break it(Where Yaweh and Lucifer can come in! You might fight alongside/against them depending on your choice and game).
