Atlus's creation was the agony of the Soul. We here now experience the Agony of the Mind; Persona 5. In 30 years, we shall experience the Agony of the Body, and thus the Bridge shall be created, and we shall know the name of the King.

Fun fact! For about two weeks, we considered dropping the “IV” from the name (a la SMT: Nocturne) and “featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry” series was suggested no less than 8 times by as many individuals. Those jokers.

If you come to Final/Apocalypse straight from IV you might get burned out on it, because it's just more IV with a few QOL improvements and an absolutely batshit over-the-top plot. I'm glad it's been a while I last played IV because I'm not sure I would have made it all the way through Final without getting sick of it. It's pretty good though.

IV was my introduction to this series so I am incredibly loving excited by this news.
The aesthetic and the gloom of the world is so very well captured. Strange Journey comes close to matching it but it suffers from being on an old/weak system.
Give me more.

That makes sense! I usually wait like a month or two between SMT's as I've been going through my backlog of them. I'm glad everything I've heard about Final has been great, but I'm the most curious in whatever the hell this dumb plot is.

The hardest part of that game for me was figuring out that buffs and debuffs actually mattered. Well that and the weird magic names, but once you got those down it's not really that difficult. It only fucks you over if you aren't paying attention.
And the map.
gently caress the map.

Every time you open the map it should have a voice clip that says "Welcome to the map, motherfucker. The Real SMTIV starts here!"

im playing through IV right now and my only problem with it is the same problem I have with most RPG's, in that I have a really bad estimation of my own power so I'm never really sure what level I'm supposed to be at for bosses

If you build your team right for the boss you can probably take on most of them whenever you get to them assuming you're not being oneshot by an almighty attack or something.

Well, it was a step back in some ways than Nocturne. It just also happened to still be a very good game. Also the main theme is fantastic

If you liked the music in IV you'll like Apocalypse because it's literally all the same :v:

They do have a few new tracks which are pretty good though. The last boss theme (spoilers, obviously) in particular I like a lot. Some aren't so great though, like they have a dungeon which is a remix of the SMT2 last boss theme of all things.
