I’ve played SMT IV and V, what other games should I play to better understand the references you reblog here

ooooh good q

saying "all megaten games + persona" would be a huge copout and VERY tedious so I'm just gonna say:

SMTIII (Nocturne), SMT Strange Journey, Apoc are the big ones (other than IV or V, obviously) I post about. Though honestly, you don't really need to play much of anything to get stuff like major plot beats. You could do some light wiki digging also to get a read on a character/event/place if you want to understand a joke without having to play an entire game. No shame in that. It's a very "hold on lemme google something. yeah this is funny" kind of thing. Hopefully it'll get more folks to be like "damn what happens in these games?" and gets them to play or at least know about them! i love spreading awareness of things i love through stuff like silly jokes

I make occasional refs to I and II also but I think you can get the gist of them without playing (SNES titles are simple like that).

my fave persona games (i.e. the ones i reference most, though they all have importance to me) are the P2 duology and 4. Getting into 3 more also because Reload is coming out soon. Those too, maybe? I dunno.

I'm not as versed on Soul Hackers 1 or 2 as the other games but I might drop a ref here or there.

I have yet to really get into DDS or Raidou's games but all the cool megaten fans i know seem to think they're awesome so I still have work to do.

Anyways, that's my blurb. Hope this is at least a little helpful

#speak ez #asks #another note is that I reblog stuff not intended to be a reference but still remarkably feels smt-like. if that makes sense #much like those magnus archives blogs going around when i first made this #which of course means its pretty subjective. its just me in here #as for fanart and regular fandom type posts (mostly) I reblog to my main tumblr high-metafive #im not terribly articulate or concise. but again i hope this helps
