What is the difference from the Original release (Non Vengeance)

[gryphonv]

I played through SMT V on my switch and loved it, one of my favourite RPGs of all time. I am curious what is added to this one and is it worth buying again?

Better Graphics (somewhat, noticeable on switch and more so on pc)
40+ new demons
New hangout area to talk to your demons
New character (think Marie from P4)
New storyline (that's about 20ish hours long if you rush it and 40+ otherwise)
New raid-boss like enemies that glow red on the map
Humans actually help you in battle and stay for awhile
Guest Character mechanic (which lets famous and notable characters help you in battle)
New level cap
The way demons talk with you (with more conversations) was changed, so that they have variation in their dialogue, beg for mercy depending on your level or their personality? (somewhat mentioned that) and some other factors
Enemies will call for backup if they're overwhelmed or by other conditions
New traversal mechanic that lets you "ride the rails" to get to areas

That's just the stuff I remember anyway, they added quite a lot

I think It's worth it, maybe not at full price, but they definitely changed enough to make it a lot more enjoyable than the original

Thank you for taking the time with that detailed break down.

There’s a lot more than that. https://game8.co/games/Shin-Megami-Tensei-V/archives/456955

Some new content and you can play the new story. Old story was bad.

so much that it's basically a whole new game, like SMT 6 level, no joke. this is definitely the biggest remaster they've ever done to my knowledge. there's more than the breakdown listed too just off the top of my head but wouldn't wanna ruin surprises.
