The lack of hand holding and the difficulty level can turn off some gamers but those who will push forward will find a rewarding experience that's hard to find in more recent role playing games."
Persona returned to Shin Megami Tensei’s roots.
It's technically a sub series of Megaten, so it's not surprise it's very much like the other games in the franchise, just less morbid and dark then the other games.
Of course it is. Persona was a spin-off. But more SMT than SMT makes no sense

"When the reviews of Shin Megami Tensei V dropped, I don’t think anyone was surprised to see the comparisons to its most popular spinoff series Persona. And while I understand that SMT fans were rightly frustrated to see Shin Megami Tensei V described as the “younger brother” in one such review, I do think that there isn’t any way to describe the series to newcomers, or at least fans of Persona."
Yep. I was going to add to that, but I've got nothing. Both Persona and SMT are great.
