How much of the series are you planning to play, and how is it going? (sopuli.xyz)

I've made it through the whole modern Persona series (besides dancing games) and the whole 3DS library. Also Nocturne and SH2.

I don't play to play the really obscure games like Majin Tensei or Demikids, but something like SMT1,2 or Devil Summoner (is that one translated?) sounds like something I'd still play. So, I'm barely halfway there, and these games were my main focus for a few years now.

So lemmy won't let me reply to @a_mac_and_con after like 4 tries. For clarity, anything PS2, or probably even PS1 and above is an obvious play for me (which, I guess includes NINE too)

This topic was more about the obscure\unpopular titles and "How much megaten is enough?" because there's like, 5-10 "must-play games" in this series to recommend, and then like double that for "games to play once you're a fan". How many of us here and back at r\megaten actually played all this? Like, I'm enjoying it, but it's been multiple years (and I didn't even see all the endings, I'm replaying DeSu now to see more paths since I'm done with the 3DS library of SMT and I'm considering just pulling up a YT video), and I'm still a student without a full time job lol

Also, I didn't directly think about this while posting, but a friend of mine has literally been playing Persona 4 for like a year, and the others seemed to stop after P3-5. Yeah, I know we meme about Persona fans not knowing SMT, but one of them does have SMT Nocturne and IV ready to play. It's just he has other series to play like Yakuza or Dark Souls, and won't start them. And I've been trying to cram those between my Megaten games too, so, for him I played Yakuza 0-Kiwami 2 and just dipped as I was about to play Y3.

I imagine it loses impact when I tell him "you must really play Strange Journey, and the Devil Survivor games, and I heard DDS is also top tier, and..."
