Can anyone tell me the major difference between SMT and Persona, with no or very minor spoiler please.

Im sure there are few topic already, but i prefer recent takes.

Edit: Thanks all for the answer, i appreciate it. Will surely grab it on sale.

I'm making a video on Metaphor, and I don't know how Atlus is when it comes to using their copyrighted music. Has anyone used Atlus music in the past for YouTube videos, and have they been copyright struck?

So in endgame, there are 3 towers, presumably with 3 different dragons atop them. I'm at the first one, fighting a fire dragon in the south sea. On turn 4 or so, it uses a purple flame attack, and on turn 5, it kills me with a 9999 fire damage attack. God I hate shit like this. All I've got a super cryptic hint warning me about the purple flame attack (the instakill might have been a better thing to warn me about, smartass.)

Is it a damage check? Am I not high enough level? (around 58 or so each) Do I need to avoid the purple flame somehow? How? Do I need some sort of makarakarn? I wasted a goddamn golden soup to get here.

Furthermore do other dragons do this? If so you may as well tell me how to escape their instant death too (nothing else, just how to escape the instant death, because this sort of mechanic is super cheap and lazy to make your bosses 'hard'.) Please no spoilers for other dragons or whatever omega-superboss that's hinted to come after them.

At this shin megami vengeance.. it looks kinda cool. Umm I see it's atlus like metaphor that I just bought.. so I guess can anyone give me any opinions on it I don't want to spend 75$ unless I know it's goood. I'm liking metaphor so far so if it's anything like that id be happy

This didn’t seem to work when I posted it before? Anyway I’ll try again, new to Reddit. This thing is driving me up the wall. Yes I’ve started the corresponding request, and yes I’m at the right informant. I’ve been googling and searching for how to get this stupid piece of paper for 3 days now. Please someone help!!!

I already finished 100% Persona 5 Royal (200h), and the thing is: -Persona 4 golden is on sale at 10 bucks -smt3 nocturne at 15 bucks I can only choose one, help me pls :'(

So the game is currently on sale, and I saw that the Deluxe edition has 2 items associated with demon quests. Are they worth the additional price?

I was hoping to get a tattoo of raidou frost from devil summoner’s 2 done but my friend said it looked to close to a world war 2 outfit and wouldn’t be appropriate to get what do you guys think? P.sCouldn’t figure out how to post in the larger subreddit the flair thing is dumb especially on mobile so posting here.

Just wondering if there are interviews of Atlus producers or something talking about wanting to make DeSu 3? Like Yamai has previously stated he would like to make Raidou 3 for example.

I'm not complaining though. 🙂

I've played all of the SMT games, I've actually played all of the Persona games too. But I dunno, would I like SMT 5?

So I'm looking to buy a new game. Loved p5, p5 royal, p5 strikers, and p3 reloaded. I also loved metaphor.

I wanna buy smt but... I've heard it's very different and I don't know if I should get it or not. Would I like it? Or is it too different to the point where some atlus fans won't like it?

I could alternatively get unicorn overlord, another atlus game. I love fire emblem and played the demo of unicorn, it was fun. I just wish smtv had a demo

I'm newer to atlas games! I've been itching for a new jrpg and I'm curious which one is a better game? I'm a fan of the high fantasy aesthetic of metaphor but I really value party connections (being a fan of games like final fantasy and fire emblem)

I want to start one of this games but I don’t know which one to chose. The theme of metaphor attracts me more but Persona 5 is way cheaper. I don’t know which one to buy please help😭.

I have finished metaphor and I’d give it an 8.5/10. It’s a game I had a lot of issues with but think is still great. I do hope we get a sequel as I think this series has potential to be a 10/10. P3 is a game I’m also not in love with but you see where they went and how they improved with p4 and p5. I hope the same for metaphor and honestly hope they go slightly different and do a direct sequel. I think that would help this franchise stand out and it’s already teased.

Currently on Eht Ria, already beat the dragon temple. I've waited almost 2 weeks for the stupid Land of Ceremony or Spire of Blind Faith to stop being under the "intense heat" weather condition, because not being able to use weaknesses is fucking miserable (not to mention i'm underleveled as it is, my fault). Is there a certain day where the heat finally dies down? Or is it seriously just hot permanently in those areas? (no story or location spoilers please, just wondering if there's a trigger or something)

As the title suggest im in the first dungeon and notice people have archetypes in their 20s already how is that even possible? ive been fighting everything and still just level 12 with my highest archetype being 11.

Everywhere seems to be sold out in the Uk! Argos, Amazon even?! Does anyone have any links where I could get it from? I’m genuinely shocked I can’t seem to get it from anywhere and I don’t really want to just get it from PSN.

I really like metaphor. So far I would give it a 9/10 and it feels like I’m nearing the end. Part of me does feel disappointed in it. I think it’s lacking social links for some big characters that really could’ve benefited from it, the magic college should’ve been a way bigger deal, and I just feel like the answers to most of the big questions arnt satisfying. I thought the mystery of the world would be interesting but it’s just SMT and I thought the mysteries just are predictable and stuff that has happened in other media. It’s fine for some things but for the massive twists in the game and in an atlus rpg I just expected more.

I also don’t think the game is paced great. I do really like the cast of characters and the gameplay and setting of the story is great.

I just feel lost in a lot of the other stuff going on which I find disappointing. I really wished I could be raving that this is a 10/10 masterpiece but I just can’t. I do need to stress that I do still really enjoy the game. It just doesn’t reach that extra level that I expect from an Atlus rpg. This is all stuff that can likely be fixed in a sequel so I hope the team gets to work on that.

I’d like to hear what others have to say. Maybe some of the games themes and other plot points have just went over my head. I just wish I was in love with this game instead of really liking it.

“No original ideas” is how I’d describe this game.

Hello! I am from Latin America and bought the nanako plush with a friend through Sanshee's webpage. We managed to get through the whole payment process, including setting out shipping destination. The thing is, we were scrolling through the site and noticed this, which was written in a reaaally small font, so we didn't notice it when we first bought it.

"Atlus items are available for online sale in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Purchase is not available outside these regions, and we retain the right to cancel orders which do not comply."

Has anyone ever bought any atlus plushies outside these nations? If so, did you get it or not? We are hella worried about our baby nanako.

Hello I have the original version of smtv on the switch and I noticed that the original version is unlisted and replaced with vengeance. I wanted to know if I purchase dlc for vengeance on the eshop will it transfer over to the original game too or is it just for the new version? Any answer is appreciated
