I’ve been passingly interested in the Megami Tensei series for a while.

I’ve been a little intimidated by the number of games that may or may not have been translated and all the ports.

I was hoping someone could give me a rundown of the series and where to start, if I should play with fan translations, or whatever else I should know.

I grew up with the nes and snes, so I’m OK with older RPGs and their nuances.

    I cannot speak on the rest of the series, but I have played devil survivor 1 and 2:

    Devil Survivor 1 does have a bit of a difficulty curve that can take one by surprise with the first major boss and it is like priming the player towards what to expect but its story I personally enjoyed.

    Devil Survivor 2 is lighter in tone, well compared to the Devil Survivor 1, but I felt it was a smoother experience - doesn’t feel as tightly packaged but it does compensate with having a better presentation and provides choice in a lot clearer manner.

    I liked Devil Survivor 1 story better but enjoyed Devil Survivors 2 gameplay more
