How did Persona steal the main line title from SMT?
>>329177213
Popularity?
Content that isn't gated by a random number generator and endless random battles?
Waifus and a more sunny atmosphere
SMT is literally about demons and hell and shit
>>329177213
They made it more accessible via changing monster interactions to social links after Persona 3 came out
Personas 1 and 2 still had the SMT monster conversations and neither sold well in the west, 2 didn't even come out properly
By "main series" they mean "not a spin-off like Q or DAN", retard.

ThisI hope
Isn't SMT just an edgy rip off of persona?
I imagine they're referring to the Persona main games, no wonder considering they've been shitting out P4 spin-offs for a few years now.
>>329177213
It happens in Tokyo I guess?
>>329177213
by appealing to the lonely otaku crowd. thought that was obvious
Because its sells well unlike SMT
>>329177529
But that's exactly what P3 and 4 dungeons are, you fucking retard.
>>329177885
its the dark souls of persona games
>yfw we got so many p4 spinoffs but didn't get a p4:fes
life is suffering, /v/
>>329177213because mainline is fucking boring
>>329178280
>P4:G exists
>>329178280
>mfw we didn't get a P4 FES
I would take a P3G over another P4 spin off/re-release desu

Persona IV 2, and Persona IV Marie Returns when
>>329177213
Being a better game might have something to do with it.
>>329178470
Both could use a full HD re release, at least for the sprites. I expect golden will be ported to PS4 sometime this gen.
>>329178515
Don't forget Persona 4: Teddie says EW-KAH-TUH for 90 hours
>>329178515
You know, after the shoehorned bullshit Marie shenanigans Fatlus pulled I can't help but be slightly scared for P5
>there actually exists a group of people in persona dev team who thought Marie was a good addition
>>329178416
>no female brotag
> no entire persona series hd remake on next gen consoles
>>329179069
I'm still waiting for P2P:EP. I want my Tatsuya with retarded dex dammit.
>>329178941
Story-wise, it helps make Izanami make more sense as the out-of-the-blue big bad. Otherwise, her S.Link is... meh. I don't mind Marie, as much, I think she's ok, but they pushed her too hard in some aspects.
>>329179069
If they did a Persona Collection, P1P, P2PIS/EP, P3FES(with Portable's additions, so FeMC and whatnot, but with the ability to use ANY weapon again), and P4G... That'd be amazing. I doubt they'd ever do that though. It'd be fucking awesome, though, and give people no excuse to not at least try everything in the series.
>>329178941
Isnt the team who makes the re-releases different from the main team?
>>329179069
>implying p5 isn't a reimagining of p2 and p6 will be a reimagining of p1
SANDMAN SANDMAN CAN'T YOU SEE
Wider appeal and more digestible gameplay with a flashy style layered over top. I'd actually call it a benefit to the SMT mainline because it acts as an ambassador to introducing new players to SMT proper.
>>329178941
>Play Persona Q
>Want to fuse Personas
>Edgy poem interrupts my progress
Why did they bring that back from P4G?
>>329179069
I'd rather they remake the SMTs honestly. I'm fine with first person dungeon crawling but a remake of those would make me cum
>>329180604
I agree, SMT I and II remade with the IV engine sounds like a dream, too bad that it wouldn't sell
