A demo for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is now available for PC via Steam and will launch for PlayStation 5 today at 9:00 p.m. PT / November 15 at 12:00 a.m. ET, ATLUS announced. Save data from the demo can be carried over to the full game.

Here is an overview of the demo, via ATLUS:

About the Demo
This is a free demo version of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. You can play the beginning of the full version, and the save data you create in this demo version can be used to continue playing the full version with the same story and character status.
(Regarding the save data, the full game will automatically recognize and load save data from the demo. Please note that if you play the demo after playing the full version, the save data for the full version may be overwritten.)
When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious. He awakens in a new Tokyo, a wasteland ravaged by apocalypse now called Da’at. After wandering around, he suddenly runs into a mysterious man and fuses with him, becoming a mighty demigod known as a “Nahobino.”
Battle through a decimated Tokyo, reduced to an expansive wasteland and overrun by mythical demons. Roam across wide, open areas and explore new locations for life-saving items or encounter a multitude of demons to battle or befriend as allies, including dozens of newly added demons to this game.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance features two story paths to choose from, an engaging battle system, hundreds of demons to battle and recruit, and many areas to explore. The content can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels, from newcomers to veterans.
In this demo version, you can explore the vast opening region and experience many elements of gameplay found throughout the story.​
  • Choose between two story paths, the brand-new story “Canon of Vengeance” or the original story from Shin Megami Tensei V “Canon of Creation.”​
  • Explore a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, now reduced to an expansive wasteland called Da’at.​
  • Challenge up to four story bosses and about 20 subquests!​
  • Up to six demon-infested obstacles to overcome to unlock more godly abilities.​
  • You will encounter many demons to recruit into your party to create the ultimate team.​

Kinda out of the blue, but if it puts more eyes on SMTVV, then I'm all for it. Here's the link to the demo on Steam:

My favorite SMT game to date. Played through the original on Switch and finished the canon of Vengeance story arc on PC which felt like an entirely new game. Super easy to pump serious hours into the game without it feeling like I've been there done that. 10/10.

Definitely try out the demo guys/girls!

It will be worth of your time.
If I understand the description of the demo correctly, you will have some hours of playtime to see if the game is able to hook you or not.
 
I put about 70hrs into my first playthrough on PS5 and put it aside to play October horror games. Although I enjoyed playing the game a lot, up to where I got in Canon of Creation, the story was extremely underwhelming. I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to go back for the final push. It's going to stay in my backlog until I'm done with DQIII: HD-2D and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

If I plan to play this one time (who has time to replay long ass JRPGs :pie_mrsmith:), should I go for the Creation or Vengeance route?

Well, since we're talking about banger tracks from SMTVV, here are some of my favorites that I still have in rotation in one of my playlists:

Worth playing for the music alone


You could post the complete OST Playlist.
Vengeance added so many bangers



Edit:
Probably my biggest favorite in the game:

That's some good ear food. My plate is packed, but I gotta slip SMT V:V into my queue some time soon. The composer behind this is fucking dope. Reminds me of underground culture club scene shit.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Also, this might be a hot take so don't @ me, but I think the OST in Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance clears the OST in Metaphor ReFantazio.
It does indeed! Both in quantity and quality imo.

Meguro did a good job for Metaphor but what Kozuka and the others have done in SMT V is amazing.

I think I still prefer SMT IV's OST.
