What's you guys' favorite Shin Megami game? I personally love Devil Survivor for the DS.

Persona 2:IS

Persona 4.

Persona 3. 
   
Kinda wish I had a PS2 when all those other ones came out though. 
 
The only one I've played during that time is Demi Kids (Yes, it's an SMT game). 
 
The most recent one I finished was Devil Survivor. The game has problems (Like how I composed my party the way I wanted then it forces me to use certain characters in a certain main plot, had to go back and grind forever!). But I found it pretty good. I like the more urgent nature of character interactions compared to P3 (and even more so than P4).

Anything Persona is incorrect, as those aren't actually in the Shin Megami Tensei series.

" Persona 4. "

either Persona 3 or 4, hard to choose.

Persona 4, followed by Persona 3.
 
 
Yeah, they're the only two I've played. Sue me.

Nocturne!

Of course, since the other main line SMT games were never released in the West and I haven't played Strange Journey yet, that's a bit of a cop-out.

Note: I consider the Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Raidou games "non-canon", so to speak. The SMT label was only put on those games in the West.

" @LordAndrew: Yes they are. They're a spinoff. There's actually very few main SMT games, so if I limited it to that then it'd be Nocturne every time. "

 Digital Devil Saga

This. With Persona 3 as a close second.  I have yet to play any of the other Shin Megami games. I plan on checking them out sooner or later, though. Any recommendations? "

Thus, the only answer I will accept is Nocturne. :P

Persona 3 , Noctune , devil summoner

Best gameplay goes to Devil Survivor. Best story goes to P4.

I recommend this thread be moved to the Megami Tensei forum, since that's what it's about...

" Since those three, every game has been labeled under the Shin Megami Tensei brand. "

"Since that game, every game has used the Shin Megami Tensei brand, both in Japan and outside."

Hate to be unoriginal here, but P4 is my favorite. I'll give a shout out to Raidou 2, though,- because I know that game doesn't get the love it deserves!

No.
 
The last SMT game to carry SMT in its title in Japan is Nocturne.

Strange Journey would like to have a word with you! "

Persona 3: FES.

Persona 3, cuz it's the only one I've played so far. I'll remedy that in the very near future, though.

" @LordAndrew: It says Shin Megami Tensei right on the box. That's good enough for me. "

" @LordAndrew: It says Shin Megami Tensei right on the box. That's good enough for me.  Plus, on a site like this, where many people (such as myself) have only experienced anything SMT because of the ER, I have a feeling that P4 would get the most responses.  "

I'll have to go with Noctune.  

Persona 3 or 4

Either Persona 3 or 4, but they're so damn similar that I can't decide.

Persona 4, although 3 holds a special place in my heart.

Why hasn't Video_Game_King shown up yet to set the Devil Survivor fans straight?

Persona 3 FES, but it's not really an SMT game.

Persona 4 takes the top spot, really appreciated the little social life gameplay changes between 3 and 4. Devil Survivor is a close second.

Nocturne. That game was BALLIN.

Nocturne's my favorite hands down, but honorable mentions are due for P4 and DDS.

" @LordAndrew: No it wasn't. Not whatsoever. I even said my favorite game was an SMT game, Devil Survivor. "

Oh! I just noticed the thread title says "Shin Megami", which means "true goddess"... or to look at it another way, it means nothing. There has never been such a thing as Shin Megami!
