Is this just outright being replaced by the new version?
ATLUS didn't do this for Persona 5 did they?

P5R doesn't have base P5 included like SMTVV does so yea not quite the same
No, but they delisted the PS4 version of Royal once the newer ports came out.
On PS4 you can only buy Royal digitally with all the dlc.
I've seen people somehow accidentally buy the og Persona 5 instead of Royal when it came out so I guess this does make sense?
Couldn't they just apply a permanent discount to OG SMTV? That would make it clear that it's not the newer version to consumers.
I feel like that's what other publishers do most of the time.

That could be a solution too, or some kind of disclaimer while purchasing the game.
But they haven't cited any official reason for the removal.
It really feels like they are trying to replace the original release more than usual here. Like just a complete do over.
I'm saying they should maybe do discounts on the old version rather than delist it to avoid confusion (if that is the reason, which I doubt).
Now I'm also aware they don't typically do that either, but they should.
Makes sense to prevent confusion. If they left it up someone could search "Shin Megami Tensei V" and buy the wrong game.
Also for what it's worth, the original game 's DLC is in Vengeance for free. Vengeance has it's own new DLC.

Yeah, I understand what you meant and I probably wasn't clear. What I was saying is that Atlus doesn't really do any kind of discounting of their games when it comes to newer versions and updates. They would rather just funnel everyone to the newest version.
In this case it actually makes more sense than usual because Vengeance apparently does have the full unaltered version of the original SMTV as a separate path from my understanding. So there is, on paper, not much reason for this version of the game to exist since Vengence will eventually go on sale and so on.
What is this based on exactly because Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei IV were discounted and this seems to be the first delisting like this.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of delisting. This kinda sucks, both for choice and for preservation.
It probably will, if this is what's happening. It may not be the definitive version, but this specific version is going to be rare from now on.

They've never offered any kind of discount for an old version of a game based on the availability of a new version of said game. Persona 5 Royal didn't get any kind of discounting based on Persona 5 and vice versa. They were always treated as wholly separate things. SMT4 also never had an enhanced re-release.
Them choosing to delist probably has more to do with, again, Vengeance having the full original game available already
Thankfully I almost never care enough to buy DLC for Atlus' games, extra demons/missions/boosters really don't do much for me. That might change with the Answer DLC for Reload though.
I can understand, Vengeance literally includes the original Game plus a "new one". But delisting the DLC is not something I can agree with. You are basically penalizing owners of the first game.
Not exactly. The 3 mitama DLC are not included and are listed again separately for Vengeance. A bit greedy on their side.
