What are you playing?

On the theme of Atlus JRPG's; currently doing a replay of Persona 4 Golden on PS5. I need to finish P5 Tactica and The Answer of P3: Reload. But I've also got Clair Obscur sitting there, and a Switch 2 due on Thursday. So many games right now...

Do you like SMT as well as Persona? I'm v excited to get Raidou Reloaded with my Switch 2 on Thursday

I've never done SMT actually! I've played Katherine in regards to the wider Atlus canon, but never SMT. Any recommended place to start?

SMTIII: Nocturne received a remaster a few years ago so it's easily available on modern platforms. It's essentially the blueprint for modern Persona gameplay so if you've played Persona 3 it will feel reasonably familiar although obviously there's none of the Social Link time management mechanics. It's a great game with a meticulously crafted feel and vibe to its world, story, and characters. I couldn't recommend it enough.
If you play it and like it it will also have introduced you to Raidou whose game is the one releasing on Switch 2. Alternatively you can pay for the Maniax DLC and replace him with Dante from the Devil May Cry series lmao.

What, no Nero - outraged! Suspect that it might not be my jam because I like the spectacle and colour of Persona in addition to the battle system - it's the two elemets in harmony that appeals to me. I finished Metaphor, but I found it a little dry - and from my understanding SMT is drier than Metaphor, so we'll see...

If I see it on sale I'll probably pick it up.
