/ It encourages me to engage with a culture that I otherwise wouldn’t bother with and makes me want to educate myself.

/ It’s midnight over here so I’ll be honest I’d blow my head smoove off if I had to write a deeply analytical essay about Megaten. Essentially what I’m getting at is that I adore the eastern aspects of the franchise a lot and it’s probably my favorite part about the franchise.
/ Well, tbf MegaTen does a lot. So for the sake of brevity here, I need to deliver the general ideas of the series because we'll be here all day like a Type-Moon subreddit.

/ I think both aspects carry equal weight within the storytelling of the series. To me, it’s the same way Final Fantasy’s Japanese influence plays a pivotal part in the franchise’s identity even when some games approach a high fantasy medieval setting.

/ I’m not trying to state that what it does is novel or anything. I agree wholeheartedly with you, I just think it’s a little more than just the humanitarian questions and I don’t think the grand scope of the games takes away from that.
/ MegaTen, at the core of the series' soul, always presents the thesis of what it means to be human. When you strip away the structure of a society, what becomes of humanity?. The Raidou games are very specifically designed from a Japanese history POV. Raidou is just taking a.-.

/ It goes at length about how they view Japanese tradition, the government, the use of resources, and the uncertain future of their nation at the time.

/ As well as the sudden influence of western customs and ideas blending into their own, like something as simple as wearing black to a funeral. And while I’m no expert myself I’ll admit, the game truly does hinge on your understanding of Shintoism and the people at the time.

/ For some games certainly but I don’t think all of them. Again that’s why I think the Raidou games are good examples. A majority of the character’s main struggles center around the state of Japan in the 1930s and the general paranoia surrounding the rapid growth of technology.
/ It tackles more humanitarian forms of politics than strictly Japanese ones. It's not like Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa, where they have a huge critique of the WW2 era Japanese government, and how the promise of freedom from the western hegemony was broken for capitalistic greed.

/ The Raidou games are a prime example.

/ Every mainline SMT game takes place in Japan and usually it’s the center point of the whole conflict and entire world itself. All the demons specifically gather there and plenty of the games delve into Japan’s beliefs and politics through that supernatural lens.
/ Persona, and MegaTen in general, are a very Japanese series of games tbh. So much of Persona 5 relies on you being Japanese and reading the news. I mean, ATLUS perfectly recreated the Tokyo subway railway to the point of annoyance. I think asking for someone to read into.-.

/ Hell I don’t think I’d even mind if muses who aren’t canon Persona characters weren’t treated like an afterthought. Nobody cares in verse and nobody cares in MV. So I log on here and I feel like I’m begging for pity interactions. It doesn’t help that Nemissa is super mean. 😭.

/ I don’t know how to phrase this without sounding snobby or like an oldhead but I find myself constantly dissatisfied when I use these accounts since the series I care about the least is what makes up the majority of. And that’s not inherently wrong.
