The COMPLETE History of Shin Megami Tensei: All 50+ Games!

Over 100k views! That's incredible! I honestly had no idea how this project would be received but to see it just continually grow has been absolutely fulfilling. I've made it a point to read every comment and I truly appreciate all the kind words, the feedback, and places where I could improve in the future. Thank you! ~Derrick

This is THE SMT video on YT.
One of the best things I've seen this year

Loved this video it's gotten me to want to play a lot of these games. Thank you.

I hope the changing of the Persona in Reload is changed to changing the magazine in the Evoker

My third time watching now. I'm remembering more each time, lol!

This was an awesome video! Interesting, entertaining and educational till the end. I always wanted to know about how this "multiverse" worked and this was super helpful! Love lobg videos that are incredible written! Thanks for this video ❤
Shin Megami Tensei really peeked an eye on me the old artstyle is really pretty, the only sad part is that there isn't a full English translation... Yet

Always amaze how this series managed to avoid controversies with religious people, yet things like Dungeons and Dragons or Pokémon unleashed a satanic panic.

Now that I started with Persona 3 FES I'm thinking about playing Nocturne, Devil Saga or one of the older personas. Just need to finish the answer which has been a good challenge.

I just hate when game make so many spin off that not look like it connected to each other but somehow it have the same front name and it somehow connected by one way or another like why don't don't just make the line straight??? and I thought Persona series are straight forward from 1 to 5 by order but noo they need to make it more confusing even other franchise like Kingdom heart do the same confusing sh*t with their timeline.

This went from being a great piece of work that explains my favourite franchise to my favourite go-to bedtime "podcast" about my favourite franchise. Timeless video!

For this video, i subscribe

are the nazis in the room with us?

Man this was a joy to watch. Thank you

IGN's editors need to reel in their reviewers on stuff like "I wanted this to be Persona" and "This Switch game doesn't look as good as the PS5 version." It's lazy reviewing.

It'd be like a car reviewer complaining that an electric sedan isn't a pickup truck.

and smt dx2 was left to obscurity.

The best 2 and a half hours ❤ Shin Megami Tensei is my absolute favorite franchise. Thank you for this retrospective.

DEMI KIDS!!!!

And now we just got the Persona 5 Tactics. Nice, this video is the documentary of the series that now only needs to be often updated to add the new games.

what's up with the thumbnail? lmao

Smt iv is the goat

I haven't even dived in and it manages to hit me with some Command & Conquer vibes

Honestly, I've always wanted to get into the series, but between Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, Soul Hackers, and whatever other series and spinoffs that exist, I don't know where to start or what order to play anything in. I don't even know if the different series are even connected. I just started Persona 4 on my Vita to give it a try. I also might be getting a Switch soon, so I can try out Shin Megami 5.

Tremendo icerberg se traia atlus xd

My favourites:
P1,P3P,P4,P5 and PQ2_______Devilsurvivor 1_____Strange Journey______Raidou 2______SMT 3,4,Apocalypse____DDS 1 and 2___Catherine

So wow im a really fan of ATLUS xdxd really good video

Is it me, but I find all Shin Megami Tensei/Persona lore and story absolutely uninteresting. If anything I do want to check Persona 2 story, to possibly change my mind.

heck yeah. i need to play more of these

Of all the Shin Megami Tensei games and subseries I gotta say that SMT5 has my favorite gameplay and monster collecting ever.

Its weird to not bring up the changes to persona 5 royal, or golden tbh as that explains the popularity timeline more

I think we can put the US Jack Bros. box art in the same WTF category as the original NES version of Mega Man, lmfao

Where is Dx2 Liberation?? Why is this called Complete again??

50?

more than 2 hours of video coverage!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮

I finally was able to have Persona 5 on switch and I'm so impressed that I'm liking it!
I never knew anything about the saga, past it being a spinoff of Shin Megami Tensei. I suppposed it was going to be quite similar in tone and never gave it a chnace.
This video is perfect for knowing all what's inside in the franchise, thank you so much but all your work.

A real shame Persona 1 and 2 are either ignored or used as dlc costumes and only acknowledged during anniversaries

Super long, super good. Thanks for the retrospective!

this is the only Megaten vid I've seen in a while where the comments aren't SMT fans aren't bullying Persona fans

W vid

Atlus must hire you

Raidou Kuzunoha works at the Narumi Detective Agency? So Sokichi just decided to set up a second branch in Fuuto then, huh?

Not bad, now do Dragon Slayer and all of it's spinoff series (this includes Legend of Heroes).

i didn’t even know persona connected to shin magma i at all, to me it lowkey seems like they made random game after game in their name each with a different story or a sequel to one with different characters, it’s pretty cool and most people probably get confused on how it all connects because of that but nah it’s just a bunch of different story’s revolving around one related cause, extra curricular beings taking over the world, shin megami tensei IV apocalypse is my fav of all time for sure though

i both love and hate majin tensei, do play it though its a cool enough game!

Good job overall!

As a heavy SMT Imagine gamer and once the best player on the server, I must say that your take on the game is not accurate at all.

PVP did come to the west, the class system has a lot more to it than what you mentioned (is actually one of the most complex I've encountered so far) and your demons are extremely important and relevant.

There was a class named "demon user" where you were a support and your demon the main source of damage.

They even introduced a dungeon mode, called WILDCAT, where you could clear dungeons with your demon, without the player character (you could also form parties).

Fantastic documentary.

thiiiiis, i was searchin for a video like this all day long

I'm playing them all in chronologically order ^^
Do you have any more videos like this one, were you cover game series in chronological release order?
Thanks

I’ve seen this video through all the way and used it a couple of times as background noise, but lately it’s helping me sleep. Thanks for all the great info.

Ah so THAT'S how Persona connects
