Wait, which one was the original? Mario Bros?
I've never liked Mario games. Just not that type of gamer.
Give me all the Luigi's Mansions though. Or Wind Waker. Or Metroid Prime 1. Or Starfox Adventures.

Puyo Puyo series started out as a spin-off of Madou Monogatari series but the former ended up becoming way more popular than the latter.

Well, sure. We'll see, right? I'm just saying that the only reason why I'm considering buying SMT is because I loved P5.
probably referring to Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. There are 2 Persona 2 games (the other one being innocent sin), Eternal Punishment is like 2-2
Not me doing an ATLUS and forgetting about the two Persona 2 games x_x
That was a ridiculous decision at launch, and to still be enforcing it now is disgraceful.
I might actually go back and do a NG+ and get the platinum if they allowed me take screenshots.
My only concern is how moving to the Switch will influence the design of SMT V. The Switch is much more powerful than the 3DS or PS2, which could increase development costs significantly. I really appreciated that they were able to keep SMT as the lower budget RPG that maintains its focus on demons destroying Tokyo, while they also increased the production values and drawing in a bigger audience with the more popular Persona series. It was a nice way to handle the series compared to, for instance, what happened with Fire Emblem
It doesn't need to be incredibly high budget, it could be something like Tokyo Mirage Sessions or even Persona 5. Mid budget efforts.
Yeah, I'm curious to see how this will turn out with Japanese devs on the Switch. Etrian Odyssey is another series I'm watching that's probably moving to the Switch that has apparently sold like, 1.5M copies in its entire existence
Congrats, Atlus! Now that you're really hitting your stride...
Aren't you tired today?
Let's go to sleep already.

Just a warning, smt and persona are two different things. Meaning they target different people. So just know that if you like persona, you may not like smt
Could you elaborate, please? I'm a newcomer both to SMT and JRPGs as a whole.
Ah right. I'm not up to speed with Mario games. Give me all the Eternal Darknesses though; ;p
They are both RPGs but with different themes and gameplay systems. Persona games focus heavily on the story, SMT focus more on the dungeon crawling.
Oh. While I did love P5 it certainly wasn't because of the dungeon crawling. It was nice, and I enjoyed how simple and streamlined the combat system was, but I don't think I would've enjoyed the game this much if it was its main selling point.
Let me just clarify, because my wording is a bit off. I meant to say that just because you like Persona doesn't mean that you'll like smt. That said, smt is more dungeon based then Persona is now. So gameplay takes a greater focus than story. A lot of smt games can be story light, but it seems like that's been changing as time goes on.
Persona 5 was a truly amazing game. Nice to see these numbers for the entire franchise.
The spinoff became the master.
Persona overshadowed SMT for a long time.

Congrats but still feels kind of low compared to other bigger games in the same Genre. Nonetheless the Atlus team has pumped out great games so I hope for more moving forward, or maybe a new concept.
Persona has long overshadowed SMT, particularly P3 and above. Ironically though there continue to be many vocal SMT fans that decry many of the aspects of the modern Persona games (Social Links, Time Management, Waifus/Husbandos etc) that have become the exact reasons that people are so fond of the franchise and given it the commercial success it has received over the years.
Atlus maxed out Kawakami, so they don't have to go to sleep.
It's great to see those numbers. SMT and especially Persona is a very unique game series, that sticks out of the countless samey JRPGs.
