I have a list of "old games I want to play," but they're not "old games I want to play again" since I haven't started them yet. It mostly consists of PS2 Shin Megami Tensei and Disgaea.

I am currently play SMT: digital devil saga . Great game , but unfortunately it is easier than SMT: nocturne. But i like it , very dark .
Would you happen to know how the difficulty falls in relation to Persona 4 and Devil Survivor? I'm playing P4 and Devil Survivor while my brother is on P3. P4 is definitely the easiest of the three because it has more options and better mechanics than P3 and the AI isn't nearly as unforgiving as in DeSu. DeSu is actually pretty freakin' hard for a lot of reasons though. I started with P4 and I'm beginning to suspect that it falls on the easy side as far as MegaTen is concerned.
Well i have played a good numbber of SMT games, I am not an expert or anything , but for the ones i have played i will rank them in order of difficulty from hardest to easiest in my opinion.
SMT: Nocturn
Persona 1
SMT:Strange journey
Devil survivor
Digital devil saga 1
Persona 3
Persona 4
Now Persona 4 is obviously the easiest if the bunch, so much freedom is given to you in comparaison of the other games, Not to say that the game is piss easy , but compared to the others, it's a cake walk .
The only reason i put Devil survivor over Persona 3, is because it is a strategy game ( we are talking about the one on DS right? ) ,and you can easily screw yourself over in a game like that. Although i love the mechanics and the old school style of gameplay and the mix of strategy and turn base. But you can really hurt yourself is you aren't strategic, thus the learning/difficulty curve is a tad bit higher.
SMT: Nocturn i put on the top , because that in my opinion is the "Demon's souls " of Jrpg. If you do not know what you are doing, you will die, and you will lose a lot of progress. Hell Dante makes a cameo appearence in the game, as a demon hunter... and you are a demon ( well demi-fiend. ) This game is unforgiving. One mistake can cost you a game over screen . Incidentally this is the one i enjoyed the most, because i am a gaming masochist. Don't even think about playing this game on hard mode, unless you are ready to submit yourself to psychologically pain . I highly recomend this game to any JRPG fans that like tough games.
Now i have not played the other SMT games ... yet, but i am slowly but surely going through them.
Note that Persona 3 has the second hardest Secret boss out of the games i have mentionned ( Elizibeth ) . The hardest goes hands down to Lucifer from SMT:Nocturn ( hard mode obviously )
