From the review, "The Shin Megami Tensei series has become such a staple in gaming, especially in recent years, that it’s easy to forget that we haven’t always been able to count on each installment being localized. But, it wasn’t always that way, and the first game is the perfect example. It’s controversial natural and other factors meant the SNES classic was never released outside of Japan. But that’s changed, and 22 years later, Shin Megami Tensei is on our iPhones."
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.

"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.
What I got out of this review;
FUCK THIS, I DIDN'T PLAY THE GAME WHEN IT CAME OUT SO I CAN'T APPRECIATE IT.
Retro reviews are stupid. They never consider the time it came out.
I think they are trying to review for someone who were to pick it up today for the first time.
I can appreciate that actually.
This seriously should of come out on a better platform for NA.
