As far as future-proofing and protecting yourself against potential hardware failure down the road goes: 3DS games don't generally take up that much storage space and it's not hard to download and install your whole library on a single SD card, which can then be backed-up in its entirety onto another reliable storage medium and then easily restored later if need be by following the right procedure. Such as the one outlined in the following 3DS data migration guide [lofi-gaming.org.uk] for example. The size SD card it would take to hold your entire digital library is cheap these days and you can even go way beyond the official 32GB limit by using a PC to reformat the card as FAT32 instead, although for most people it will probably be overkill.
I'm someone who very much prefers the physical format when it comes to game consoles and have a substantial physical collection of 3DS games, but to say that your digital library will be gone if something happens is just flat out false. Not if you did what you were supposed to do.
Also, this is my first deal submission, so constructive feedback on format above would be helpful. Does strikethrough affect assistive tech like screen readers?
That said...it's very straightforward to hack a 3DS these days and I absolutely love backing up my physical games to have them all on my system, and I can back up my digital purchases too, so this alleviates the concern for me about games being tied to console.

Also, I'd recommend Etrian Odyssey if you like old-school dungeon crawling that can be difficult. They are lite on story and more about the strategy and RPG group building. Also, you draw out maps of dungeons as you explore them - which is kind of cool. I only played IV, and never even finished it, but will likely revisit it if I'm in the mood. You don't have to play them in order or anything like that.

Also, I think you can have your device linked to your nintendo ID to download on another 3DS device but I'm not 100% on that. Why even put up with not knowing if you can re-access content you paid for, if there are other options to buy something?

This right here!!! Have you seen the prices of these games physically? I know some are in hundreds territory. Not only can you not only never worry about if Nintendo will shut down the access to download but you could most likely make money selling in the future.
All that said, I prefer physical even when games aren't worth much. I like to know it's mine and usually you'll find great deals well before you find them digitally.
There's a very sweet spot between release and having to hunt ebay for huge prices where small games like these hit clearance and you get them dirt cheap. Trying to hit that mark is thrilling lol.

I totally get the thrill of finding gems in bundles and do that to build my collection and turn my hobby into a net zero to profitable hobby. If I found a deal on one of these games physically and I owned it digitally, I'd flip it.

There was a time a few years ago you could get SMT IV as part of a 4 for $20 promotion for pre-owned games priced $9.99 or less at GameStop, I must have forgot to check out or something because it seems I never grabbed a copy (it likely would have been missing its original case, but still). There is always that sweet spot where console games are no longer new enough to be sought after and not old enough to be considered collectible.

If you were to lose the SD card in any way, hack the 3DS, and reinstall the titles using cartridge backups, you will still have your titles and save files. How do I know? Consult my double-banned 3DS (banned nintendo account, banned console) and my legitimately purchased titles who became inaccessible until I reinstalled them using backups. Digital is superior in every way if they're titles you love.
In fact, using physical cartridges ACTUALLY means you WOULD lose your game forever. Your save file is stored on the cartridge, the game is on the cartridge. You lose that little cart, it's all gone.
HOWEVER
Back up the cartridge, back up your save files, and everything is safe. Best of both worlds. It goes without saying that people do not want to carry around tons of cartridges when you could just install all of them onto the console. Should also go without saying that cartridge backups are also perfectly legal as they are your own backups of the software you purchased.
APOCALYPSE is the sequel to 4 and the story is told from a different perspective. Both games offer at least 60+ hours of gameplay each. Aside from that the two versions are basically the same think of APOCALYPSE as a giant DLC.
If you're coming from the Persona series there is no slice of life activities as a high schooler, the story is a lot more mature, and the game is tough. Otherwise the usual Pokemon-esque (which they did first before Pokemon was a thing) collecting and fusing demons/fairies/dieties is all there.
This game will definitely give you a taste of what the upcoming release of Shin MegamiTensei V will be like
for Nintendo switch.
