Saving anywhere is the biggest upgrade for this game. Completely changes the experience for me. Great video!

Couldn't agree more!

Saving was never a issue theere were plenty of leyline founts around so i could really go either or

[@NordicAndNerdy]

Damn it. I thought I would finally be able to stop rewarding Atlus for releasing a better version of their games a couple years later. I thought, "It's not Persona 5, I played SMTV thoroughly, and I enjoyed it, but I had my fill, I'm good." But it couldn't be that easy. Rest in peace, wallet and free time, you shall be missed.

[@TheGamingShelf]

😂

[@robertrogers6487]

I was burned by fes and never gave in and as it turns out every one of their releases gets a re-release so I just wait for those. Only exception was p5 because I just came across it blind in the wild and learned the hard way why I wait

[@WakkaMadeInYevon]

I think it works well here because it's an entire second route that branches off from the first. The early game is similar, but there are enough changes to make it fresh. With Persona games on release, you're already anticipating a rerelease in a few years that tacks on an extra month or two and the true ending, with small story/QoL additions throughout. Vengeance is tackling new ideas, like Apocalypse did, though whether or not you like that one is another matter. It also helps that I *wanted* a new take on V. While the gameplay was always good, the story... wasn't. There was almost no engaging alignment debate or interesting characters, with the endings falling flaccid at best and flat out horrendous at worst. A game can thrive almost entirely on atmosphere, see Nocturne, but I'm not gonna turn up my nose at them giving this story another shake. I'm still in the middle of my playthrough, so time will tell if it pulls through.

Auto-skill was actually originally from smt 4 except there it was called “auto-pinpoint”. It is still a riddle to me why this feature wasn’t in og smt 5

[@skullcandy14785]

Love the concept but I’m still in the early game to be worth it as it drains alot of mp

[@KurosuGon]

I guess cuz they want you to actually play the game, but this came up in my mind several times while playing. If I know the weaknesses, just auto-use an elemental move that targets their weakness.

[@tron0150]

Best addition, removal of level scaling.

[@rajgus7638]

Absolutely I didn't bother with shiva in the og because of it

@@rajgus7638wait also you cant get the true ending without beating shiva

[@xShadowhawkx]

Believe it or not, once you examined enemies in Final Fantasy XIII your characters would use spells they were weak to. FFXIII relied heavily on auto-battling so it makes sense.

[@TheGamingShelf]

Oh wow! I didn’t realize that.

[@klissattack]

I think the fusion u described existed in the original. It's been part of the series since P3 or P4. The guest characters is really cool

[@madjik1979]

I'm replaying canon of creation and it's nice to see some of these new features available there as well! New quests, husks, magatsu rails that lead to new areas, these are all there!

[@Red4350]

Im so hype i cant wait till i get paid and hoping i can get a copy at gamestop, i never played the first one, and this one being two stories gets me really hype. The Qol additions really won me over cause, i get that these games are tough and I'll admit im more of a casual gamer. I love JRPGS even tho most of them are "just right" difficulty. My only grip is, i remember the P5 battle system and it was good but the weaknesses are so OP that its literally like either use them or get punished, which imo is kidna one dimensional. You're kinda forced with one option in battle..tho i could be wrong...anyways Ik i'll have fun tho regardless

[@KurosuGon]

@@Red4350with this, you don’t have to target weaknesses all the time necessarily, you can run a physical build and get extra turns with critical hits instead. You do however want to still avoid getting hit by something you’re weak to. Plenty of items and essences and passive skills for that, though. There’s also guarding.

[@2N3mo001]

Is the battle theme in canon of creation the original or the new one? I picked canon of vengeance but once you hit the in game divergence point (maybe an hr or 2 in) it permanently changes to the new battle theme. Not that I don't like it but I'm still in the prefer the original phase.

[@seanswasey9390]

@@2N3mo001 I'm wondering this as well. I like this one but I much prefer it on the original. Hope maybe they surprise me and start playing it later on.

[@codyb.3015]

The ability to save anywhere is a great improvement, but I don't really get why passive aggressive sass about being a busy adult is necessary. You can point out the merits of something without basically insulting every single person who doesn't like it. (Also you could always instantly warp back to a save point from anywhere) Lots of people say JRPGs in general can't be played by "busy adults" because they're so time consuming. Loving the game tho.

[@thebeaphomet9485]

It would be GREAT, if they re-released SMT 4 + Apocalypse like this. I have ZERO regrets buying this V again and IV needs to make a come back.

[@Pduarte79]

An HD port would be cool.

[@KurosuGon]

Saving wasn’t a huge problem because 1 you knew the way back 2 fast teleport back to your last leyline 3 it was on the switch, which is portable, so you can just put your device to sleep while you go do something else, assuming no one else will pick it up and use it. Otherwise, just teleport back and save.

[@gotinogaden]

Yep, I never considered saving an issue in the vanilla version. You still get a warning before each major battle, so it's not a problem to backtrack to the nearest save point or just use return pillar upon it being unlocked.

[@aparz4975]

Nah it was awful, if I made any progress I wanna save, but teleporting back was not it, it also discouraged exploration. The system they had in smt iv was perfect, and the change was unnecessary.

[@sakuyasama8986]

1 word of appreciation for all NS users that played the beta 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😡 you are welcome. 😀 It felt like a safe buy even though I knew of ATLUS's reeputation of re-releasing games with more stuff.

[@AxeMain]

To answer your question about auto skills in Jrpgs - Many of the Dragon Quest games has it. You can assign them tactics like show no mercy or focus on healing and the AI takes care of the rest

[@feiitogaming]

Oh man, I already loved the original SMTV but this sounds awesome! You got me really excited to play this.

[@edboi2154]

Decided to play on hard this time around since I only played normal in the original and been having a blast. It also REALLY REALLY helps that the game is on PC so the switch hasn’t been limiting my loading times, frames etc. and also seeing the additions they added to the early game areas. As of now my complaints would just be finding all 200 mimans again and not being able to change the battle theme back to the original one. While I do enjoy the new one I just wish they let me switch between them freely. Saving anywhere is neat too but I got so used to only do it on the founts that I forget it’s even a feature now.

[@tylerbish2441]

I love how nahobeeho exists just to add another jack frost that looks like a protagonist and to make it funny.

[@femtrooper]

This was super helpful, Taylor!

[@grokashrimp]

Thank you. So much good information.

[@shinyanakagawa8241]

But you can still use Return Pillar in the original tho. The only downside is you need to backtrack your last location before you use Return Pillar to teleport to leylines. But damn those Magatsuhi rails are godsend qol.

[@Mohawk_Productions]

Bought on Amazon, ps5 edition with steel book. But graveyard worker so when I woke up at 10 pm it showed up. But could just install it as I work at 11 pm. Gonna play in the morning after work. Subbed

[@Probus-Vir-Mendax]

Saving anywhere AND MOST IMPORTANTLY? Fixed Level Disparity: F*ck being unable to do damage because im 10 lvls under my enemy. No more God damn grinding.

[@2N3mo001]

Also mitamas that give gospels are no longer fixed (think it was four? Overworld encounters in OG V) so no need to shell out for dlc (they are still relatively rare).

[@NerdCrave]

I’m playing this now and I’m having the time of my life. I played 4 or five hours of the bass game. and put it down really enjoying the new additions like save anywhere

[@cammac6243]

As someone who enjoyed persona 5 and 3 reload on merciless and wants a more difficult experience, would you recommend this game as a first smt game?

[@Andy-sj4ip]

It's good to hear to hear you are really enjoying this game, bc If I remember correctly you weren't too impressed with the original release at first

[@TheGamingShelf]

Yeah it had a lot of annoying quirks, but here they fixed most of them!

[@AlexTheULF]

Auto-Skill is in SMT IV/Apocalypse too.

[@neoandroid8586]

So, do you recommend playing the OG story first? or just going straight to the new one? Im talking if we never finished the first

[@TheGamingShelf]

I’d say straight into the new one. I think it’s more interesting overall.

[@YoungReezy211]

Is the new one completely new or does it cover everything in the OG story too? I finidhed all routes on the Switch and bout Vengeance on PC ​@@TheGamingShelf

[@Benny-Arts]

@@YoungReezy211its the OG story with new story stuff added (think persona 5 vs persona 5 royal)

I played p5 royal, p4 golden and p3 reload. Should i play smt3 the one on steam before this or it “doesn’t matter”?

[@TheGamingShelf]

It doesn’t matter honestly. In comparison, I think SMT 3 feels outdated. 5 has so many quality of life features that make it way more enjoyable to play.

[@flarefire022]

I played this on hard for 100 hours on the switch last winter. Looks amazing but it takes me so long to finish a game I don’t think I can go back again with so many others available

[@lukethephantomthief]

Nahebeeho is the best new addition to Vengeance

[@ralph4lyf]

This on my Steam Deck OLED is gonna be amazing

[@TheGamingShelf]

Yes! I’ve been playing on mine and it’s been killer 👌

[@Faustustopheles]

I'd say the worst addition is the deletion of the original. I haven't seen or heard anyone caring about the delisting of SMT V. I'm sure someone out there has to care about delisting of games and their dlc.

[@EXFrost]

for once idm it when its from online stores and the original and the remaster are the same price and it has the base game built in. makes sense as to not confuse people wanting to buy the game. they may think vengeance is a sequel. which it is not. its the definitive version of smt v. same engine, improved gameplay, extra optional content. for something like strange journey redux vs og strange journey im way more understanding. but this is basically just smt v. thered be no reason to get the original and people who had the original still have it the dlc complaint is entirely valid tho and kinda scummy

[@rogermelian]

No one talks or care because it's not deleted, it's available through Vengeance. Why buy the og for the same price if you can buy the complete edition?

[@sapphire5780]

That's because it's not much of a problem in this case. If you have SMTV and it's DLC, you keep it and nothing changes (you can still redownload your content, if it's not on the system too). If you don't have SMTV, you buy Vengeance and get SMTV, it's DLC, and more in one package. The only case where this is actually a problem is if you have SMTV, don't have the DLC, but also don't want to get Vengeance. That's one very specific case

[@demi-femme4821]

Yeah that's some bs.

[@Fermin-hw5pd]

I don't really care, it feels suspicious given that most Atlus re releases don't delete the og game, but there's not much of a point in buying the original now

[@lunarath1]

Auto skill was both in Persona 5 and 3 remake. Not sure about other games but definitely in those.

[@nr2676]

And earlier also in SMT IV

[@bonnolog]

4 new villain demons are thickk

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Also RE guest characters, when they return to your party later the game will adjust their level to meet wherever you are in the game, so don't worry if they're a low level when they leave your party 😁

[@KurosuGon]

Subquest levels is interesting, SMT IV had a “1-10 star difficulty” system which was similar. Honestly, I did like that SMT V treated us to surprises, it was kinda hardcore in a way.

[@moominsean]

I feel like even without changing the battle speed, they sped it up compared to the original game. I'm enjoying it much more this time around. The fights felt kind of sluggish in the vanilla version and really made the game drag after awhile. Also really appreciate the save anywhere feature. In the first 20 hours or so it's not a huge deal but I remember a difficulty spike at some point where I just kept getting my ass beat in random encounters after 20 minutes of being away from a leyline. Now I don't feel like I have to cling to a leyline and grind the closer enemies.

[@Tarodenaro]

The addition of that girl own story reminds me of Strange Journey redux, it probably wont changed much of the story but it's going to annoy some fans in usual Altus way, i've guess.

[@xagon2012]

I wonder which campaign I should play first when I get the game. Any recommendations?

[@TheGamingShelf]

It’s so hard to say…I honestly I like the new Canon of Vengeance route personally but it’s up to you 🙂

[@gamester512]

Personally? I'd say do the Canon of Creation (optionally getting all four possible endings first, which consists of the Law Ending, Chaos Ending, Neutral Ending, and True Ending) first, and then do the Canon of Vengeance. This way you'll more readily be able to see what's different in the Canon of Vengeance story.

[@codyb.3015]

As someone who beat the OG, I'd say just do the new new run. There's not much story content in the OG, and it's a 50+ hour investment. May as well just play the new run and play the OG after if you want to play more.

[@xagon2012]

Thanks guys. I think I will go with Cody's suggestion and play the new campaign first.

[@igotbit9454]

U can save anywhere. I dunno the save pts made it fun for me cause it scared the f out of me to get back to it without dying

[@TheGamingShelf]

There was definitely a certain risk/reward factor, but for me I just don’t like wasting my time with games anymore so adding stuff like that was really nice.

[@fictitiousnightmares]

One thing nobody has explained that I can find, if you choose canon of vengeance or the original path, I get that the stories are different but is it a different game? Like is the original path the original game and the vengeance path the new V game technically? Or If I choose the original path do I just plain miss out on the new story but the game itself is the same overall? So whichever one I pick I miss out on the other unless I do a different playthrough all together? This doesn't seem like the type of game to do multiple playthroughs, but I wouldn't know I guess since I have never played a Shin megami game before this.

[@TheGamingShelf]

Basically yeah, they're totally different. You'll go to mostly the same locations but the stories are totally different.

[@gotinogaden]

The Canon of Creation (the original route) makes little to no sense if you consider the Canon of Vengeance as the canon story. For example, Atsuta takes identical actions in both, but only the CoV can provide adequate explanations for them. In other words, you have to view each scenario as taking place in parallel worlds. The existence of these worlds (as implied in the 4 Horsemen DLC) is known to the higher-order demons, but there's still a significant level of differentiation between the way events unfold in each one.

[@darharharhar1484]

That compendium change doesn't sound like a change to me it's been a few years so I might be misremembering but I thought you could always look up the demon you wanted see different ways to build it.

[@huggsx9936]

ok this is my first time playing and it's amazing and I keep seeing Yoshitsune was good and fusion level 54 and he unlocks at level 45 but I don't see him I did the quest and if it helps I chose to take her hand

[@gamester512]

Yoshitsune isn't even locked to begin with. All you need to do to get him is reach level 45 with your Nahobino and have a pair of demons that can make him via fusion. He's a normal fusion, unlike Alice who is a Special Fusion. There's no quest required to unlock him. Also, once you're close to level 37 (you can be a few levels below or above), do the "Goddess In Training" side quest (this was originally a DLC quest in the original game). Complete the quest (which culminates in a boss battle with Artemis), and Artemis will automatically join you once you win. And she has absurdly good resistances for her level and is one of the best Physical/Ice/Electric demons in the game.

[@Personoflordlycalibur]

SMT IV allows you to use autoskill but its an ability you have to buy

[@TheGamingShelf]

Oh weird!

[@KurosuGon]

Auto skill existed in SMT IV. I guess they didn’t include it in vanilla SMT V because they wanted players to thoroughly experience the new combat on switch, idk. Or just they were already late in releasing the game.

[@monsterking1973]

Probably the only thing that bugs me is how the controls are still basically Nintendo controls.

The base game has Dyad Fusion, but Vengeance added Dyad Compendium Fusion. In both you start with a demon from your stock, and while the former restricts you to just other demon from your stock, the new one allows you to fuse with anything in your compendium. It's nothing major, but lets you see far more options if you know you want to fuse a with a specific demon.

[@gamingdudedonal3312]

Some of these "new" features are literally already in the main game

[@adamtideman4953]

Wait... You're telling me you weren't able to save whenever you wanted in the vanilla version? The most basic, bare minimum feature of any game? I can't imagine playing the game without it, I save literally after every encounter. It's like Atlus make their games flawed on purpose just so they can "fix" it later in the updated, directors cut version that's released years later at full price. Watch, Metaphor ReFantazio won't have autosave, fast travel or a freakin world map on launch and then Atlus will add it to the game when they release the Metaphor Royal/Golden/Vengance version of the game. I'm calling it now.

[@techno--]

the original game absolutely isn't flawed for not including it, and it's a conscious design decision to include it or not. It's not really a problem in Vengeance because you can already instantly teleport back to leylines in the original, but it would completely ruin the feel of traditional dungeon crawlers like Nocturne or the Etrian Odyssey games. It's exactly why Nocturne HD added suspend saves instead of save anywhere to preserve the design philosophy of the original game.

[@A.Hanson]

I was kind of excited about this game when it looked like it would have actual party members but hearing that they are just guests and you still have to mostly rely on the generic monsters.... still a pass from me.

Having said that, I'm fine with playing it on switch. Portability and all that. And I can always wait for a steam sale.... though I hate steam..... Ugh.
