Shin Megami Tensei Guía y cronología
Demons are enemies, possible allies and bargaining partners in Atlus's role-playing worlds. The main Shin Megami Tensei games ask what should survive when society collapses, often setting competing visions of order and freedom against each other. Persona takes a related inheritance toward students, identity and supernatural crises; it is a distinct branch, not the next chapter of one story.

Timeline guide
Shin Megami Tensei: Demons or Personas?
Choose the main SMT track for its demon-centred worlds or Persona for its character groups. The original Shin Megami Tensei and Revelations: Persona begin their respective histories.

A shared game family is not one long plot. Check the particular sequel or edition instead of treating every number as a required chapter.
Overview & recommendation
The main SMT games make recruiting and confronting demons part of arguments about what a world should become. Persona turns related ideas toward people confronting hidden forces around their communities. The difference is more useful to a new player than a combined list of release positions.
There are genuine links within those families, including the original SMT and its successor, but that does not collapse all later worlds into one timeline. Remakes also revisit an existing story. Persona 3 and Reload should not become two compulsory consecutive chapters just because both have catalogue entries.
Use the earliest titles if your aim is a historical tour. Otherwise choose a particular numbered story in the branch that interests you, checking direct-sequel context before starting. At a remake pair, select the version you want and keep the other as an optional comparison.
Related Systems, Different Story Families Main SMT and Persona
These are broad game-family groups, not a guarantee of one shared date sequence. The Persona branch has its own casts and local connections; editions need separate attention.
Mainline SMT (7 entries)
Selected main Shin Megami Tensei stories, with individual world and sequel relationships considered separately rather than one universal numbered chronology.
Persona (8 entries)
Selected Persona games and alternative editions, grouped as a related story family rather than a requirement to play every version of each numbered adventure.
