:O SMT 1 fanstuff! The world needs more of that. ....I need to finish my Yuriko/Main fic
I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'd kinda recommend not going neutral on a first playthrough, as it requires a few frustratingly specific choices, and is slightly harder, but not massively, really.
I'm playing II at the moment; it improves on the first in pretty much every way, incidently.
