Darker than Final Fantasy, harder than Persona - there's never been a better time to get into Shin Megami Tensei than with SMT5: Vengeance
Briefly

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance reassess that balance. It wants to make you suffer. It wants to make you earn your victories, eke through its encounters by the skin of your teeth. Bring the grit in you out.
Already I can feel that the waters here are darker, deeper, and deadlier than they were in the vanilla outing of the game.
The original Shin Megami Tensei 5 deviated from the rock-hard formula a little bit. If you spent time fusing demons, grinding out random encounters in the wastelands of a ruined Tokyo, and learning what the legions of demons in the game were weak to, you could rather effortlessly meander through the story without too much resistance.
