So the deluxe version includes:

the usual xp/experience cheat thing that will boost you & 2 quests = 2 new demons?

i was planning on getting it but idk if its worth the extra bucks. is it?

[Fire Guardian]

i mean i feel it.

since the extra demons(i count mitamas here) are likely sold by themself as well(since the mitama/other dlc being standalone buyable on switch) so i assume that the deluxe version is cheaper in the sense of "getting all content"

hmm yeah, i rlly dont care about the boosting stuff but ig i gotta have the other 2 new demons right away. ty.

also the switch original dlcs. the demons cost 3.99(and one of them 4.99 for some reason) and the mitama all are 2.99 each(so 9 bucks for all) at least where i am.
to give that context.

so it could be 1-2 euro/dollar cheaper to buy basic version if you skip mitama(for waht thats worth)

if you plan to get all the dlc anyways, you may as well get the deluxe edition (ideally on sale on a third-party site but that's your call. greenmangaming has it for $60). but the mitama dlc, if you're just doing one playthru, really isn't that helpful. it's mostly for messing around imo. if you know how to kill them, then you find so many throughout the game that you can easily cap exp items midway through the game. my second casual playthru had me capped on demon exp items a little over halfway through the game i think. the demon dlc's really aren't that important either, it's basically just if you want them for whatever reason. they'll probably be really strong at least.

Does this game have a strong story? I always found the story was focused in persona and after thought in these.

persona games are half visual novels half jrpgs. all the other megatens are focused more on the usual dungeon crawler experience which has less story (than the usual jrpg) and more gameplay.

I got it because of mitamas. I probably plan to finish original and play vengeance so in case if some time boost will be needed mitamas could save me few hours of grind. Though CE exists and DLC is not the only way you could boost yourself

[Black Lamb, Rock Enjoyer]

The Mitama DLC just makes a toggle that has Mitamas be able to spawn in where monsters spawn instead of regularly where you go to fixed Mitama spawn sites to grind.

Games from the base series of SMT are imo quite darker then the Persona spinoffs. I'm not saying they are bad mind you, but the gameplay, the amount of demons AND do not forget which is a huge thing in the base SMT games: The Law, Neutral and Chaos parts are quite important.

I got the deluxe for the extra demons, idgaf about the boost items as i consider that pay to win and taking away the challenge and exitement i paid for,

If you don't plan on fusing every monster anyways, then there's little point in buying more of them, i think it's more important for completionists like me.

iirc, you can disable dlc separately on other games, so i go for deluxe and enable the demons but disable that boost stuff if at all possible.

You can't really compare SMT with the spinoff Persona. SMT is imo a whole lot darker and have overall better stories, now persona is still alot of fun..
