Having now done my taxes I have splurged on games and apparently the game I will be pouring time into is Shin Megami Tensei 5. If you have played a Persona game and dug it but never bothered with a Shin Megami Tensei game then you are doing yourself an absolute disservice.

Yes, it doesn't have the highly addictive Japanese school kid simulator thing going on but they have the same core gameplay cycle of Pokemon-for-adults demon collecting and combining and Persona simply is not on the same level of addictive party micromanagement as SMT.

This **** ias simply on its own level and the only series that can **** with it on pure party management nirvana is Etrian Odyssey, which is by the same developer because Atlus are the gods of JRPGs. Eat ****, Square Enix.
