The last post here was 5 months ago. That's sad.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the changes to SMTV in Vengeance?

I'm digging them. Save anywhere and Magatsu Rails are excellent improvements, and I dig the new demons quite a bit. Playing on Switch.

Kinda interested in what people have to say about it. I 100%ed the OG V, so I'm feeling a bit disenfranchised and don't want to spend money on something I've already spent a lot of time with if it's just for the equivalent of a DLC story and extra demons slapped on. I'm not sure I trust Atlus to make a game that won't get the Golden treatment anymore.

You do get to transfer your three most powerful demons out of your OG compendium when you start Vengeance, so you get some carryover from having played the original. I get why they didn't allow direct save game transfers on account of features vanilla doesn't have that would need to be accounted for in Vengeance, such as Magatsu Rails, the landslide of new side quests, and the few dozen new demons available to recruit and fuse.

I get the irritation with the Golden Syndrome. If I'm not sure I want to double dip, or I am not confidant the game will do well enough for an upgrade, I'll wait.
