    If someone wondering how big is the Megami Tensei universe (the series as a whole), this picture below probably the closest I can get. There are other pictures too but I guess this one is the one that have connection between the games.

    May contain spoiler

    Imo what I like from this series (especially on the main line series) compared to the other JRPG games is that the mythology portrayal, the mature themes and the battle of “Law vs Chaos” is that great and doesn’t shy away from source material. I couldn’t explained it myself but it is just something different than your average JRPG.

    Read at your own risk

    Literally in one of the mainline game, you have to battle YHVH

    Oh and Megami Tensei almost always has banger OST if you all never played them.

    the persona kids are pretty much beating up Lucifer too. There’s no sunshine and rainbows there either

      Funnily the Persona series deals topic that is closer to our day to day live (i.e Persona 3, Persona 4) compared to mainline/other megaten spin off series.

      As grim as it gets...

      In Persona 2 you have to battle against Nyarlathotep disguised as Fuhrer.

    I consider myself averagely informed in games in general, and yet I have absolutely no idea what the Persona series is all about. I need to find the time to research a bit out of curiosity, I promised myself that.
