i love smtv but, like nocturne, a big missing component is that for a megaten game there isnt enough 'killing your friends' vibes. the game in the beginning was like. Yeah you dont know these people that well. Walk home with them or whatever. They are kinda nice >> (the game introduces u to aogami and everyone else ceases to matter)
meanwhile in smtiv theyre like. you dont know these people well. u are training with them. u are having lunch. u are facing class conflict and your upper class besties are standing up for u. u are speaking about your dreams for the future. u are in another universe together--oh god the one you were closest to just sacrificed himself in front of u. and the other one is also dead. If u aren't neutral route u have to kill isabeau yourself. Final boss has so many sad friend erased vibes. walters scarf is visible on lucifer. its fine
