Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

After a long break from the Megami Tensei franchise, returning to it with this game has been incredibly cathartic after seeing how the series has evolved from the old-style gameplay to the latest release; better yet, the QOL upgrades, gameplay, and story aren't merely serviceable but great. Beginning with gameplay, as someone who didn't play vanilla V when it released, I cannot speak on the QOL of both versions, but to me the QOL present in this product compared to the older games completely blows them out of the water. The Magatsuhi and free-form Essence system has removed a tediously complicated fusion recipe system to get specific demons with specific skills for a certain build you're going for. Better yet, the Nahobino himself, as an SMT protagonist, has been as flexible as ever (more so than Flynn even), with the uniquely beautiful animations and 3D designs complementing the game's diverse roster of demons and skills. The bosses and Superbosses have also been the major highlights of the Canon of Vengeance campaign, which to me is an almost-perfectly balanced difficulty dynamic between the game and player where I wasn't tearing my hair out for some bosses like previous SMT games, and the ability to save anywhere as an anxious gamer is often overlooked, but to me, it is one of the more important features of an SMT game to mitigate losing your progress. Now the story, from what I can tell, is a massive improvement over the Canon of Creation's story, and both new endings are interesting (I myself got Tao's Law Ending), which the cast has been characterized better while engaging the player more intimately into the endings system, highlighting the importance of the dynamics. The new Nahobino form too is beautiful, although I do prefer the original blue's luxuriously long hair the Qadistu new antagonists were one of the highlights of the game (Agrat my beloved Nuclear witch). Overall it's not only a great game but might be my new Favorite mainline SMT game by virtue of the Gameplay and Improved story alone, although not as narratively ambitious as some of the previous entries, I can confidentally say that Shin Megami Tensei V is back with a [b] Vengeance [/b] and is a must-play to both returning players and of new.

另类的宝可梦，缺钱啊

진짜 재미있는데... 내가 2개의 스토리를 다 할 수 있을까?

If you like turn based combat, then this game is a must play. If u are new then this game is a must try. Gameplay is fun, ofc the music is hard as shi too and its pretty difficult only extremely later in the game tho. This game is fun and I only played this to listen to the soundtracks.

感觉打击感很差。可能是因为血条太短了，还有普通攻击打到别人身上像砍到橡胶人一样，ui更是一坨大分。感觉打击感不如4代ppt啊都。希望手感这块可以向隔壁暗喻幻想学学。地图希望别再做你这个开放世界了，太空了，你要做给我做好了呀，做一张超大地图然后赛一堆小垃圾是什么意思，我捡都懒得捡。而且太空了导致没有氛围感啊。一张大地图不管在哪都只有一种氛围。以前4代的时候，每个营地都有不同的风格，而且和在外面狩猎恶魔的地图不同，很有安全感。外面的地图也很有末世感。这一代的奇形怪状立方体的美术风格真是难绷啊，为什么到处散落着破碎的立方体啊，特别是魔王城和新宿，遮天蔽日一大坨，看了只觉得莫名其妙，只有最后至高天入口的几何体才让我感觉到神性。还有为什么人的伤口要改成祸灵流失一样的粒子特效呀，老老实实飙血不好吗，每次有人死了，我都要怀疑他是不是真的死了。 但是真女神转生我喜欢你希望可以出第六部

Se Pokémon é a infância e Persona 5 é a adolescência com drama escolar, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance é a crise da meia-idade espiritual. É o JRPG para quem cansou do "poder da amizade" e quer um desafio brutal, cínico e maduro. Aqui não há Pikachu ou debates sobre civismo: Tóquio virou um inferno de areia e você precisa negociar — ou subornar — demônios mitológicos para sobreviver. O sistema de combate pune a sua arrogância com a morte imediata se você errar uma fraqueza elementar, mas te faz se sentir um deus quando você domina a estratégia. A versão Vengeance é o pacote definitivo: roda perfeitamente, corta a enrolação e entrega uma nova rota de história focada em vingança, política divina e escolhas morais cinzentas. O veredito: É um jogo cru, viciante e sem filtros. O ápice do "Pokémon para adultos" que não têm tempo a perder com tutorial de vinte horas.

The amount of customization and innate for each demon really helps the game to stand out compared to previous entry. Much more forgiving and yet hard compared to vanilla SMT5.
