Question: Megami Tensei - Where to start?
(lemmy.ml)
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I think SMT and Persona being different games in the same universe is what is confusing me. Is one series considered better than the other generally? Is there some thing that makes these two series different from each other in some significant way?
Story and presentation, really. Persona deals with heavy topics, but it's framed in a more "slice of life" anime way. If you like managing your time with friends, working on "life skills", and running dungeons, Persona is for you. Most of your problems are focused on the M.Cs main area.
SMT is more the fight for the world, deciding if you like this framework and want to work within it, or to break it(Where Yaweh and Lucifer can come in! You might fight alongside/against them depending on your choice and game).
