Almost certainly not. It has already outsold IV's lifelong sales if those numbers are true.

Edit: In fact it may even have outsold SMTIV *and* Apocalypse combined.

By a fair amount, based on the numbers I could find, though said numbers were fairly out of date. Combined, those two titles are around 700k copies total (though again, out of date by about five years). I somehow doubt they've made up that much of a difference, even if you look at sales past that point.

God I really hope this means we'll see a Steam port of SMT5. I've been playing it off and on since release and while the game's amazing, it runs like utter loving garbage on Switch.

What are you talking about? I have disliked P5 since I played it and have never been silent about this fact. Its writing sucks, just not for "it's not revolutionary enough." I dislike it because the story is bad, the actual storytelling is worse, and the characters are largely uninteresting, Well, the Thieves themselves are uninteresting outside Haru. I liked the Confidants.

Hej min vän, hur står det till?
The frustrating writing of 5 was bad enough to make me too depressed to keep the music in rotation due to the mental association.
It's like how I can't even go back to The Simpsons' good seasons after having memories of Lisa calling Elon Musk one of our greatest inventors, or that Lady Gaga episode.

this is a terrible thing to say about a game with so much writing but so much of the appeal is more from the day-to-day hanging out and had nothing to do with the story so the bad writing was never a killer for me

i played like an hour of desu1 on the 3ds, went Neat but i wish i could tweak the background music to be higher vs the vas, and then never played it again (think i got guide paralysis or smth for a perfect run too??)
i guess i wanted a more fe style experience out of it or it just didn't really gel??

tho, majin tensei 1s biggest sins (from the half i've played) are imo:
enemy phase is slowwww
maps are like 70% too big
the inventory system, which consists of exactly 16 slots, 90% of which will be filled up with useless gems because no one thought to put them in a separate compartment and also you will constantly be waiting to have a set to trade them in for a armor or w/e
the story and chars are minimalist in a way that just feels really flat and underdeveloped, whats actually there (like 80% through...) is cool tho, too bad about the pacing

ah yea this reminds me i just finished "reading" the majin tensei manga last night, i thought it was cool af even tho i could only understand like 0.02% of what was going on dialogue wise

Enemy turns are slow as gently caress even if you're playing in an emulator and you're using fast forward.

ronde is Technically a spiritual successor to majin tensei (afaik it says so on the box) tbf, but also the prerendered cutscenes are so awful they wrap around into being incredible and also its ugly af

Raidou Kuzunoha vs the Soulless Army is Devil Summoner 3. Vs King Abaddon is Devil Summoner 4, despite the localization confusingly naming it as Devil Summoner 2 because neither Devil Summoner 1 or Devil Summoner 2: Soul Hackers were localized at the time, creating a repeat of the old Final Fantasy game naming problem.

The upcoming Soul Hackers 2 is Devil Summoner 5. Just to add more confusion.
