Just something that's been simmering in my brain for a bit. SMT is my favourite game series out there, a top tier output of RPG greatness, but it's getting hard to still hold onto it when new game releases seem to have gotten kinda barren.
Like, the last SMT game released was the Strange Journey remake, over two and a half years ago. The entire last gen saw one brand new SMT title in Shin Megami Tensei IV and a slew of ports and updated re-releases. Devil Survivor got two great games followed by two ports. Devil Summoner's totally dead. It's like the only thing worth looking forward to are the mainline titles which take year long gaps in between releases, and that's just one facet of the series. What happened to the weird and interesting spinoffs like Strange Journey, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner and Devil Survivor?
IDK I'm writing this in A Mood. I'll probably get hyped when the planets align and Atlus finally releases a trailer for SMTV and we can see what the game is actually going to be like.
