Not sure exactly how much overlap in fanbase there will be, but I gotta make a thread for my favorite franchise.


Anything Megaten related! SMT, Persona, Devil Survivor, and related Atlus works.


I'll start with two questions: What are your favorite games in the franchise, and what's some of your favorite characters?

That's it, I'm gonna do what I should have done a long time ago.

Apocalypse is so damn good, I also gotta revisit DeSu now that I'm not 13.

I realize I forgot to put my favorites, my favorite game is Strange Journey, love it to death for combining the older first person dungeon crawl style with a more modern battle system alone nonetheless that it's a fantastic SMT otherwise.

My favorite character has gotta be Tatsuya Suou though, a lot of the P2 cast could take it though just cause I fucking adore that story.

That's it, I'm gonna do what I should have done a long time ago.

I've only played the three SNES games out of the main series (and some Kyuuyaku but I dropped that because it didn't click with me) and my favorite was, surprisingly, if...

I wanna get back to playing the rest of the games but I got burnt out at the time since I played all Personas in succesion while also playing those three SMT games, and then got wrapped up in some other stuff. Nocturne is next on my list though and I can't wait to try that one out.

And that's about it.

SMT is probably the fandom I'm most involved in, more than Homestuck actually. My favorite thing about SMT in general is the music, specifically music by Shoji Meguro. Music is also my favorite thing about Homestuck, I'm a sucker for a banger OST.


My favorite game is Persona 4 (vanilla version specifically) and my favorite character might be Jun Kurosu from P2 because he's a cutie pie and also looks rad as hell as the Joker.

re: Apocalypse is so damn good


I swear to god!! SMT: IV Apocalypse is such an improvement of what an amazing game SMT IV is, I'm actually impressed how they achieved to make it even better.


I honestly don't understand why so many SMT fans downright hate it just because of the cast, which I can admit, it's a tone whiplash from the other games, but it's still a good story with the best gameplay in the entire saga. And the interactions are enjoyable!!

re: The Doctor, John Smith


Yeah I really don't get where that hate came from still, I remember it being really strong a couple years back. I think in general a lot of Megaten fans were kinda just wanting to be haters at that time, that's when I remember a lot of the vitriol about Persona fans being at its peak.

That's it, I'm gonna do what I should have done a long time ago.
