[@Gtneff]

The people complaining about the smt persona comparisons have to be brain dead. To sit there and act like this is some wholly unique, brand new, never seen before, style of game from Atlus is delusional behavior. It's the oddest thing for you all to be complaining about as both those games, and some of the other atlus games, have HEAVILY influenced this title.

[@محمدعرفانغلامی-ف3و]

This is a very common issue, all the studios do this, from Farmasoft to Capcom and even Sony studios

Does seem very comparable to Elden Ring, but a big success from Atlus still might not be at the same level as Elden Ring. From Software has a much better track record in general while a lot of recent Atlus games have not been very well made.

[@dutchielander2478]

The director of the games has directed SMT and Persona games. Ofcourse its going to has influences of both titles. They even have a calendar mechanic and weakness system in the game. The mech/class mechanic looks super tight though
