>>33574678The SMT franchise started in 1987 on the Famicom/NES, it was one of the first games with the "monster tamer" idea where you could use enemies that you fought against, don't go calling it a mere "clone".
Just to be more on-topic, Dragon Quest V is different than other mainline DQ games in the sense that it has a big focus in using monsters as your party members, you can recruit a lot of them, originally was for SNES but the remakes for DS and PS2 are neat, too.
