I played the demo of smt5 (which is how I know you're referring to shin megami tensai (sp?) in case anyone else wants to experience it) and it was a really fun game, definitely faster to pick up the gameplay, and it reminded me, in many good ways, of dragon warrior monsters and Digimon, but at the end of the demo I was hesitant to pull the trigger because there are so many other games that deserve some play time.

I'll definitely go back to it when it's on sale, and I'm going to give p5 a, maybe not fair, shake.

Yeah Shin Megami Tensei is often abbreviated as SMT. I'd say with P5 if you don't like it by the end of the first palace, then you probably won't like the rest of it. You've seen most of the core gameplay and mechanics by then. I would definitely say play P5R and not vanilla P5 if you have the option. Some mechanics are changed in P5R that make it a smoother experience. The big new additions are mostly at the end, the "Third Semester".
