Рет қаралды 922,478
Күн бұрынFrom its beginnings as a novel adaptation to it's multiple spin-offs, Shin Megami Tensei is a mammoth series that many in the west still don't fully grasp. But Derrick is here to break down the entire franchise and cover every main release across MegaTen's 35 year history. With over 50 games, ranging from massive hits to the obscure, there's a LOT to break down. So let's begin, shall we?

Always amaze how this series managed to avoid controversies with religious people, yet things like Dungeons and Dragons or Pokémon unleashed a satanic panic.
@perk423 Ай бұрын
The reason for that is cause for a ling time, this series only existed in Japan and in Japanese only. The whole religious paranoia was a western thing, so religious people were not aware of its existence and by the time smt got popular in the west, the religious paranoia had already passed. After all, smt was popular among jrpg fans, but in the bigger picture, it was pretty niche, it wouldn’t be till persona 5 that both persona and by consequence smt would become more well known. That said, I’m glad things happened this way. Parents were panicking in the 90s cause of pokemon, if they had seen smt, they probably would’ve gone on a witch hunt haha 😆

Honestly, my biggest issue, as someone completely new to these games, is just how many there are. There's multiple series. There's multiple games in each series. There's some games that were released only in Japan, then later ported/remade for later consoles in English. There's also all the alternate versions like Person 3 on PS2, and P3 Portable on PSP, and a full remake of P3 releasing soon. And even THEN, I don't know if the different series connects at all. Plus the fact that I've heard older games in these series don't feel as good to play nowadays. So, I have zero idea where to start, or what order I should play them in.

This was enlightening. I came to SMT pretty late for lack of Sony consoles. My first contact was long after P4G was released (borrowed the console + game from a friend back then), and that was it for a long time. Eventually, I fell in love with the Devil Survivor games (Nintendo child lol), later got a used PS2 and borrowed P3. Until now that's where most of my touch points with this massive series are - Persona and Devil Survivor. I did enjoy the SMT IV titles, so I was hyped af when they announced SMT V and the switch ports... never really got around to truly looking into the franchise though. I definitely want to look into Digital Devil Saga now. Thank you for this extensive piece of work, I had so many "oh, huh!"-moments and flashes of nostalgia during this.

I started with SMT IV: Apocalypse after seeing it forever and being tantalized by a rated M 3DS game with cool cover art, and I finally bought it when Toy's R Us was closing and it was cheap. I was hooked immediately and it eventually became my first JRPG I completed, as I have a bad habit of not finishing games. Years later I own every SMT/Persona game you can buy from PS4/Vita/3DS. It's an excellent series, and I'm looking forward to Soul Hackers 2.

Man the 2010s were such a depressing era for MegaTen. You can tell ATLUS was going through a rough time back then because of just how much they had to rely on Persona to keep the company afloat and that at best they could only allow themselves to put focus in the mainline projects and re-releases besides it. Now that they at least have the P4 and P5 money and recognition, I'm hoping Soul Hackers 2 succeeds and leads to other new cool experiments to follow.

I can't believe you were able to piece this all together 😮 This must've taken ages to research and put together. You deserve every like and sub you have!

If you *somehow* want to do another one of these I think Dragon Quest is the way to go- just so people get more eyes and ears on the series and its lesser-known entries Great work man

I got into Megaten with Strange Journey Redux in 2020 (I'd heard about SMT and Persona beforehand, but that was before I was into JRPGs in general), and it became one of my favorite games ever. Now I've played or am playing every 3DS Megaten game except PQ2, I've played P4G, Nocturne and SMT V, and am currently playing P5R. Amazing franchise.

I can't believe i watched this whole ass video. great job, also i really appreciate the way you didn't carry too much personal bias into your descriptions of each game, lots of people get very passionate about their dislike of specific games and that wasn't felt in this video.

The man the myth the legend, Derrick Bitner has done it! I'm sure this video will hold the test of time, and be one of those that new and old fans of the series alike will come back to. So nice to have everything neatly compiled here!

Derrick your demonology dissertation is very impressive and provides a good summation of the series. Worthy of a honorary Doctorate I'd say.

Great video, I have been a fan of SMT games for quite a while but I still learned so much here. Looking forward to more videos like this!

Man this video is amazing. I can’t imagine the time that went into this. Good work.

You missed noting the year and console of some games which is a shame It would be great if you make another video talking about the best way people have to play each game, focusing on definitive editions, the differences between ports and remakes and emulation.

Really nice to see such an in-depth look at all the games. Some of which I never even knew about.

I'm going to have to watch this in part but 😱 I'm so happy you made this!! I remember a long video being mentioned during the GVG cast and was wondering what it was. I'm so exited!

Great video, Derrick! I've been in love with this franchise for over ten years now. There's no other RPG series quite like SMT. My personal favorite game in the series is Shin Megami Tensei IV because of its brilliant story, incredible soundtrack, and masterful gameplay. It's easily the best game on 3DS and one of the greatest games ever made, imo. It's a true masterpiece.

Same. I mostly like everything Megaten related. It's maybe my favorite game series. But SMTIV remains my favorite out of all. Despite its flaws. It's an excellent game. 10 out of 10 for me.

Wow this an amazing effort! Thank you. Megaten is my fav franchise and I love seeing videos like these explaining it to people who don't know or only played Persona. As a feedback, Raidou 2 & P5 Strikers segments had the wrong songs. Also there is minor misinformation, like: - The card summoner being a devil children game, It's not. This is Digital Devil Story TCG, which is the devil children game is based on with simpler rules. - SMT 1 & 2 are not the only ones connected, *Maybe a spoiler* SMT 5 is a continuation of SMT 3's True Demon Ending - *There's anther one in the middle of the video but totally forgot now what it was lol* Because I like this vid and what's trying to do, these are some stuff I hoped there were included: - It needed a segment talking about one of the most important pillars of this franchise, the demon artist Kazuma Kaneko and the legendary composer Shoji Meguro. - And you didn't mention how SMT 1 was localized to the west through iOS and how it was removed from the App Store. - Also since you touched on the upgraded ver for some games, others needed too especially SMT 3 Nocturne Maniax & P4 Golden since these upgrades expanded the fanbase if not double them. - Also the upgrades for Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei which is basically a remake for the two Megami Tensei games, SMT 1 & 2 for PS1, Devil Survivor 1 & 2 for 3DS, P3 Portable & FES, Catherine Full Body, P5 Royal and the latest one P4 Arena Ultimax remaster. - And the fact that this series started the idea of collecting monsters before Pokemon >_> lol Sorry for the paragraph, I know there's a lot to this franchise and even 5 hours won't be enough to talk about everything but the important stuff needs to be mentioned. Thank you again for shedding light to this criminally misjudged series.

This must have taken forever to make... wonderful work! Huge Persona fan myself and I've started to dig into the main shinmagami tensei series. I played Tokyo Mirage and now I get why it had a familiar feel to it, I honestly did not know the connection before, just that it was an Atlus game. :) I hope you take more game series under the microsocope like this one, I have a few more games to add to my backlog of 'have-to-play' games.
