when you stop to think about, Shin Megami Tensei is a really funny franchise
Started out as Digital Devil Story, a series of novels.
Megami Tensei, a video game adaptation of DDS, completely overshadowed it.
Shin Megami Tensei, a reboot of MT, completely overshadowed that.
Now Persona. a spinoff of the reboot of the video game adaptation of Digital Devil Story, has overshadowed all of its ancestors and become one of the biggest Japanese video gaming icons out there

AKEMI NAKAJIMA from DIGITAL DEVIL STORY MEGAMI TENSEI
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JUSTIFICATION:
"Throughout the book, Akemi is refereed to as coming off as 'looking like a girl' and rather feminine for a guy. Not only that, but they overcompensate with masculinity(domination) rather than face Akemi's own issues. The rare moments of weakness are with coprotaganist Yumiko Shirasagi, who shares a much closer bond with her former incarnation Izanami. It seems like even if Akemi is the reincarnation of Izanagi, he doesn't share a bond quite as strong. They can actually hear the goddess and see her just like Yumiko does. Most of Akemi's good actions in the book are done for Her sake, referring to Yumiko bc they doesn't want her to suffer the same mistakes. In fact, when they lets themself be vulnerable, they doesn't seem to be emotionally there for himself, and scared of who they project to the world. A very common thing for closeted transwomen. As for the saving her part. Well. The stake of the very world hangs in the balance thanks to Akmei's retribution based on emotions that he really didn't like, and the world got annihilated. Many, Many, MANY TIMES. Not to mention creating another more wretched universe to cope with that. Perhaps, just perhaps, the world might not be a smoldering crater inhabited by demons. Perhaps Yumiko does Akemi in complementary feminine makeup, or puts Akemi in one of the many 'female only' helmets of the game. Perhaps Akemi would just finally lean into becoming a goth girl, rather than figure out the bonkers mechanics of computer aided demon summoning to get revenge on physical bullying.
I mean, probably not but at least she might be happier with demonic boobs." - @whatthe4355

For newcomers from Persona 3 Reload, let me tell you about Maya and how many references Atlus hid in her. It won't contain any spoilers for Reload but for SMT!!!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Starting with her sprite.
A huge reference to Shin Megami Tensei I heroine. Originally the sprite was the character behind the character of Maya with TV-like dots that hid the character. But you could easily recognise the silhouette anyway.
Maya, Tatsuya and Innocent Sin Online.
Very obvious reference to Persona 2: Innocent Sin and her two protagonists with the same name - Tatsuya and Maya. Maya in P3RE also says Maya's iconic phrase: "Let's think positive!" And one of the dialogue options mention a certain Joker.
No, it's not Joker Persona 5. Persona has a LOT of Jokers. Searching for this Joker be aware of spoilers for this character!
Tumblr media
Y-Ko and N-Jima.
If you played Persona with Japanese text or with Japanese dub and encountered Maya in the real world. You probably heard her say your nicknames differently. Like, completely differently!
Well, because in Japanese it's a completely different reference! And this time it's SMT again!
Tumblr media
Y-Ko is a first name of Yumiko Shirasagi from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei. The first ever SMT!!! She's the one who the title refers to as "Megami Tensei" (Goddess Reincarnation)
While our protagonist is named N-Jima after Akemi Nakajima.
And wouldn't you know it, these characters are actually reincarnations of Japanese deities that you've heard about at least in DLC - Izanagi and Izanami. So, they are obviously romantically involved!
(While in Persona 2 it's actually stated that Maya is obvious to romance and doesn't have feelings for Tatsuya, even if she can be a romantic partner, if the player so chooses)
The reason for this change is because at the time of the original Persona 3 release - SMT wasn't available in America or Europe, so they changed it to a persona that kinda existed there.
And I think that's all the references that I personally recognised. I will be playing it in Japanese on my NG+ to see more references out of curiosity :)

Aya Nishitani (the writer of the original Megami Tensei) was asked by a fan the size regarding the Devil Summoning Program, to which he replies:
“The Devil Summoning Program will have to be compatible with several operational systems, but excluding that hassle, it only uses character codes, so I think 1MB is enough.”
Seems too small? But then you realize the type of storage item where it was used back in the day:
