    I actually prefer how it looks on 3DS.

    I just like the way you get the two different aesthetics on two different screens. There's nothing else like it.

    The PS4 game reminds me of Blue Dragon. It looks really plastic. There's something about the way it looks, every Unreal 4 engine game seems to look the same and DQ11 has it as well. I'd rather a cell shaded aesthetic than this CGI feature film one.

    I like they clay-like look the PS4 version has. I can't get over how good the enemy animation looks ethier.

    It is meant to be pretty awful, the battle system looks interesting if you are willing to put the time into it.

    I'd like to get Dragon Quest on the 3DS. Portables are more handy for me, I don't like hogging the tv and the only time I get to play on it is when everyone else is in bed. This is why I haven't started Persona 5 yet.

    But it and Bravely Default (when it arrives) are going to take up all my jrpg time.

    Vita plus remote play may be the way to go here then.

    WHat is the best Shin Megami Tensei game to start with?
    On 3DS, is it best to go with SMT IV: Apocalypse?

    Apocalypse is the sequel to an earlier game (titled simply Shin Megami Tensei IV, on eShop) so I wouldn't say to start with that. Persona 3-5 are good entries into the series as a whole but I'm not sure if they're representative of what makes it so distinctive. SMT IV should do you fine

    I would start with Nocturne, the game can be tough but it will give you a good introduction to some of the main mechanics of the series, as mentioned above Apocalypse is a sequel to SMT IV.

    My first and only SMT was SMTIV, probably helped playing Persona first and learned a bit from it. I found it a lot easier than Persona 3/4 because there's less to focus on.
    So I'd agree IV isn't a bad place to start.
    Hope that helps at all ERG89.

    I thought Nocturne was meant to be the hardest no? That's why I avoided it.

    I would say Devil Survivor is the hardest, Nocturne like all SMT games is not that difficult on normal if you are familiar with the demons and their elements and make use of your buffs and debuffs, Matador gives the game a bad reputation as people struggled to get past him.

    Hopefully it will get a vita release but I doubt it somehow.

    Matador is only tough if you aren't used to SMT. SMT veterans like myself go in with agility buffs and debuffs and destroy him. I still say it's not the best place to start as it can give newbies a hard time but it's also a good place to learn the systems if you stick with it.

    SMT 4 is a good starting point. It starts tough but is manageable but gets very easy after the first 2 bosses.

    Ah! Devil Summoner I have, Soul Hackers, 1 and 2 on PS2 is it very hard? Other than SMTIV I haven't played any others that I have, Digital Devil or PQ.

    Oh yeah I forgot about Matador! Easy to know I haven't played it lol.

    It's one of my favourites. It's first person dungeon crawling done better than any other dungeon crawler before or since.

    Tales of berseria.

    Worth having a go? Never played a Tales game before.

    Go for it, probably the best Tales game since Vesperia, the battle system is much improved since Xillia and Zestiria, plus it has one of the better stories of the series.
