The mainline Shin Megami Tensei still has a ways to go before it becomes more accepted in the international market like its spinoff Persona series.

Fun Fact: This entire franchise is based off of a science fiction book. It's one of the most successful licensed properties in gaming

Yeah, finding out about MT's origins was interesting.

And agreed that SMT is lagging behind in terms of western popularity. It's a lot harder a sell than Persona, that's for sure.

Indeed. Who knew the Japanese only books would go on to spawn such a legacy?

Persona is just a more accessible franchise to get into than the mainline SMT in terms of difficulty, premise, and tonality.

Persona was meant to have a more wider appeal and was designed to feel more familiar and relateable to the audience as opposed to the more fantastical and philosophical aspects of the mainline series.
