Why are there no other games like Shin Megami Tensei? I hate games that don't give me choices and throw me in a pre-destined path, let me choose if I want to be a freedomchad like SMT does

Two is better. Also SMT has like fifty fucking games and spin-offs my dude and a lot are really good.

By "games like Shin Megami Tensei" I include the whole series as well as the first game which is just titled Shin Megami Tensei

I'll only play 2 when the ps1 version gets translated because I like the QoL features and duckstation is a better emulator

Except for the other fifty games in the series.

Outside of the series, grandpa, has dementia gotten to you?

Well then what do you want, games that play like them, games with morality systems or complete ripoffs.

What I like the most is: being able to recruit whoever I want and being able to choose freedom over any form of lawfaggotry, that's what I want in a game

There is Metal Max and the Romancing Saga series. They are the only JRPG that have some respect for player freedom and choice.

There was even planned some sort of crossover between MM and SMT. There is some MM artwork by Kazuma Kaneko floating around.

Is the PS2 Metal Max a good place to start? Or should I start at the first game?

2 is not better you lying piece of shit, it's literally worse than the first game in every single aspect from story and atmosphere to music and setting

So you're asking why don't more games rip off Shin Megami Tensei? Because then you'd just complain that they're too similar to Shin Megami Tensei

It's a good game but it's the weakest of the classic (pre-DS) series. The balancing of the exp/lvl up system is a bit off. Try the first game or its remake on SFC

I'm not a boomer or a normalfag, I wouldn't complain, people who complain about games that copy good games are completely retarded
