Becoming a pokemon master and birthing a new reality are more or less the same thing when you think about it.
It's weird I somehow missed this game for so long, it ended up being the exact cross between the persona and pokemon game-feels that I was looking for; mixed with a uniquely liminal setting I really enjoyed. I'm definitely planing on trying out SMT 4, strange journey and apocalypse at some point now and hopefully SMT 5 further off.
Oh yeah, Dante is in this game I forgot to talk about that, it's the 2 design and he gets cool battle music, I pointed at the screen and shrieked like a howler monkey when I saw him.
