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've been passingly interested in the Megami Tensei series for a while.

I've been a little intimidated by the number of games that may or may not have been translated and all the ports.

I was hoping someone could give me a rundown of the series and where to start, if I should play with fan translations, or whatever else I should know.

I grew up with the nes and snes, so I'm OK with older RPGs and their nuances.

I think Persona 4: Golden is a good entry point into the franchise.

Always felt like the Persona and SMT games were fairly different beasts despite the connection. The daily routine, (and thus time) being a part of Persona means you have to plan ahead a bit more then in SMT where the only decisions you might want to have a save before making are the good/neutral/evil path ones.
