I didn't see a thread about this and I thought I'd make one, because I'm so excited that I need to tell everyone that doesn't already know!
Persona is (or started off as) a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series of JRPGs. These games generally have a darker atmosphere, much higher difficulty, and a story that focuses much more on choosing between a few different representations of some sort of ideal than on high school hijinks. And they're also pretty much entirely about dungeon crawling, though for some reason the Persona games rarely have dungeons as engaging as SMT games. No social links here.
SMT Nocturne is in desperate need of a UI overhaul. You can play the game on a PS3 now and visually it's fine, but the menus and UI are all vastly superior in later games. There are so many quality of life things missing that I haven't replayed Nocturne in a long time and that's a damn shame because the actual gameplay pretty much consists of turn-based JRPG combat at its finest.
And we're also getting SMT V, a game which we seem to have no details about except that it looks a lot like Nocturne and not much like SMT IV or Apocalypse. Speaking of, I'd love to see a Switch remaster of those two games as well.
Anyway, here's some trailers! Also that Nocturne opening theme is really fucking good. And I kinda hope there's no voice acting in the remake, as in the original
Also, for good measure, here's Nocturne's original opening, complete with Dante cameo. I don't think we'll be getting him this time because that Raidou Kuzunoha guy is in the trailer. That kinda sucks, but whatever.
