I have played every SMT game but Strange Journey, Persona 4, and Nocturne. Is there anyone else like me?

Every SMT game...? Does that cover "If...", the 8 games in the "Devil Children" series, the "Devil Survivor" series, "Devil Summoner" series and "Digital Devil Saga" games?
The 1st SMT game I ever played was "Devil Children: Red Book" for Gameboy Color. It was entirely in Japanese, but I managed to figure out how things work through trial and error. It was many years later that I found the fan-translated versions of the original "Shin Megami Tensei" 1 & 2 for SNES emulator. I've never played any of the games in the "Persona" series.
So here's a list of games I did play: Shin Megami Tensei (got all 3 endings), SMT 2 (finished Law & Neutral routes), SMT 3: Nocturne (gone through it twice), Devil Children: Red Book (completed), DC: Black Book (done), DC: White Book (played a bit years ago, never finished it), DC: Light Book (beaten), DC: Dark Book (ended), DC: Messiah Raiser (tried it out at one point), SMT: Strange Journey (passive-agressively killed the final boss in Law route), Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army (played a short while), Devil Survivor (currently playing); And, of course, the "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine".
What haven't I played yet? SMT: If... (I'd like to try that one sometime), SMT 4, Devil Children: Fire Book, DC: Ice Book, Digital Devil Saga (will try it at some point), DDS 2, Devil Survivor 2 (will probably pick it up in few weeks), Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon, and none of the "Persona" games (I'd like to try the P3: FES sometime in the future).
...Aaaand I think that should be it. You know what's funny? (Some of) The "Devil Children" games actually seem to have the best AI of all the SMT games I've played. :S Most games don't seem to even HAVE any AI, they just use random attacks on random targets, with boss fights using pre-scripted attack patterns. In SMT3, I faced many enemies who killed themselves by reflecting their own attacks back at themselves. In Strange Journey, I made a team that just defended against the final boss, who killed himself with his own reflected attacks. In Devil Survivor, I faced enemies who killed themselves with their own reflected attacks, while others wasted their turns by stubbornly attempting to cast spells while muted. On the other hand, in Playstation version of "Devil Children: Red Book & Black Book", the BattleNet AI actively avoided using attacks I guarded against or reflected, and ALWAYS targeting me with attacks I'm vulnerable to. The main game's too easy, tho - I was always so OP that most of the time enemies didn't even get a chance to act before I killed them all. BattleNet's Doppelganger battles (where you fight "clones" of your own team) were awesome, tho.

First one I played... Honestly was Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE Online (ENGLISH server). Then I got DDS1+2, Nocturne for PS2. Soul Hackers for the 3DS. I haven't finished them all, but I do enjoy it. Then joined the SMT:I JP server. :v

Nocturne and Strange Journey are really good, you'd probably like them. I've never touched Persona 4, but I probably should, with an open-mind... Planning to borrow it from a friend eventually.

I've only finished Nocturne, my Strange Journey file got corrupted and I'm playing SMT1 right now (which is surprisingly good).
