I first played SMT with IV and since played a few games in the series..well ok 3 SMT IV,SMT IV:A and SMT Devil Summoner on Saturn and will play more. I first played Persona with Persona 4 last year. I know that Persona is unique in it's genre.I am looking for games that can still scratch the need of something like it.
I know these games are not exactly like Persona but for me meet enough criteria.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE feels like Persona lite. Granted no school tests Calendar or social links but there is still quite a bit of Persona in it's DNA.
Digimon Cyber Sleuth. I have never played or watched Digimon anything until this game and man it's a very good game. I know this is much closer to SMT than Persona but surface level stuff is there. Similar graphics. Teens. Modern Japan and all of them have Shibuya lol. (also like to see different games representation of Shibuya) It still scratches that itch.
I know Trails of Cold Steel has minor comparisons. Like High School social links calendar and tests. Still that game didn't scratch it for me. Great game tho.
Not tried the Akiba series yet.
Caligula on PSVita looks cool but I have no room on my Vita Memory card and the game is digital only in English.
Not that interested in Persona Q. Doesn't look that good.
Anyone have thoughts on games that give them similar vibes even if not totally the same in gameplay?
