SMT’s combat is extremely intricate. I remain steadfast in my belief that Press-Turn Battle is the most fun and most strategically-engaging system of turn-based combat outside of deliberate subversions on the formula such as Undertale turning the enemy’s turn into timed danmaku.
Unironically could not disagree more with the idea that it’s generic as it’s one of the most consistently batshit series I have encountered, writ-large. It’s batshit to the point of being barely penetrable.
(spoilers) For example, SMT3 Nocturne
is about Tokyo being turned into an inverted sphere in which you punch demons shirtless because a child dropped a scorpion in you and eventually possibly beat up the moon (God, kind of, also not metaphorically the moon it is a fucking sphere) by allying with a wheelchair-bound Lucifer (old man, balding, also the child). You light a menorah by killing a bunch of skull guys (literally 
btw). You befriend Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

nah, I specifically looked for a rough/messy edges danbooru tag (which given AI does not do naturally do edge detection I would assume it'd sort of apply broadly) but they don't have one as far as I can tell
think #1 is the closest to what I want, but #4 looks uncannily close to my mom's face 
the logic that 15% of your state's party base actively voting for "no one you are offering, fuck you" being more optimistic than a divided electorate between candidates, one of which will inevitably fold and endorse the other upon which their broader voter base will be absorbed, is entirely unserious motivated reasoning
