I can't wait for this to happen with SMT V

Post that shit right now

I really don't like SMT IV:A

It's so fucking boring compared to the first game

It's way better. The gameplay is vastly improved

>SMT IV is pretty easy when compared to Nocture and the originals,
user, all SMT games are pretty easy. Even IV doesn't have nerve bullet spam or Daisoujou. The difficulty is overrated.

at the cost of being worth playing

>>Persona 5 comes out on switch too,
Nope

That doesn't make any sense. IV isn't worth playing because the gameplay isn't good. Final is worth playing because the game is actually good.

iv has a kino story
iva is cringe

the cringe comes with a cure

Nocturne wasn't that hard, it's about the same as IV. You just played it earlier so it was harder.

>iv has a kino story
You have to be joking

I love mainline but a new Devil Survivor would be pretty based.

Fuck off. I agree with you on Atlus trying something new with the franchise though.

The action picks up quicker in IV:A though
IV has a really slow start

SMT4 has Stun Needles though. A relatively early skill you can slap on any demon and the protagonist to shit all over any encounter and boss that doesn't resist gun element, and it works all the way to endgame.

Yeah but 4 is shit because of its story
It's gameplay isn't good either but its not hard to get the hang of how unforgiving it is
In Sekiro, you always have the tools to get out of the situations you are presented with, its just up to you to learn them
In SMTIV you have so little control over too many things that it presents a rather dull experience that couples with a story that doesn't have beats strong enough to warrant the challenge. its overall a very unrewarding experience.
Would rather Devil Survivor 3

I never said IV was hard

Not that guy but I love the atmosphere that the story in IV presents.
Still never felt anything as great as stepping into Toyko for the first time.
Especially when I thought the whole game was going to be like 100 levels of Naruku grinding.
Shame it's slowly downhill from there but it's no where near as bad as say FFXV

>not going full strenght
Casual.

My only real problem with Nocturne is that MC death means Game Over. I'm glad they took that out in 4 and Apocalypse. Eating a stray Mudo or Hama to instakill was just annoying.

>SMTIV with BoFIV's battle system

I could get on board with that

>Shame it's slowly downhill from there
The alt dimensions and the bit right before them is just as kino

But that's a good thing. Besides Final has that with apocalypse mode.

Getting into Tokyo for the first time is one of the most iconic moments in SMT

Given the absolute state of Atlus's 3DS support, we're likely to see SMTIV on Switch sooner or later right?

In all its simplicity, this is certainly one of the best
youtube.com/watch?v=IxYM0qQoQJA
A basic, catchy repeating bassline and a few adorning notes to represent the everyday bustle of an urban city. Though that gives way to a feeling of unease and tension pretty fast in SMT1.

Also love the wistfulness of SMT4 Tokyo.

IV:A was the best SMT and I hope V is exactly the same.

The characters act like retards.

The combat was GOAT. If they made some refinements but kept the base, some additional fusion options (like sacrificial) and better dungeons it would be the king.

Twisted Tokyo would've been a God Tier dungeon if it wasn't a glorified Demon Domain, the Fiend fights were fun as fuck and the scaling with everytime you beat it is great for replayability. The idea is there, they just need to build upon it for V.

I loved the early game in Apocalypse, felt pretty comfy being a hunter in Tokyo with the new and familiar themes and fighting low level demons, but I'm not sure at which point exactly the plot goes to shit. Before you realize it you're not invested anymore, as fun as the gameplay is.

I played this game thinking it was just some dungeon crawler like EO. Like I thought the first few floors was the entire game.

Then suddenly you descend to fucking Japan and now there's cyberpunk music and gear and titty and dick monsters and it's pretty great.

I will eventually finish some day.

I know righ they atleast could have made it a remixed version of regular tokyo.
Bitchin tune though.

Honestly I wish Atlus would step away from high school and do more modern military focused JRPGs
They can still have an extremely colorful cast and slap anyone they want into a uniform.
Military and high school are the only places you’ll see radically different people have common ground and stick together

I remember playing Nocturne and just wanting to be the Onis' little boytoy.

>military
Why military though? What in your opinion makes that better than high school?

I want another DeSu with the Chad Abel.
Sorry rabbit you’re just too autistic for me

i agree with your sentiments except the military part in particular

apparently apocalypse was supposed to have a cast of mostly adults but it got scrapped later, which is a shame because that would've made for a much more interesting cast

But I like both protags for different reasons. Abel for his biblical shit and demon lord aesthetic and Bunny for his autism.

I tried devil survivor 1 but lost interest pretty early on. Does the story get any better?

SMT IV's setting was good enough for me to care about the story, even if the story itself is a bit dull. I wanted to see what the final state of that world could end up being, and how it would get there.
>too little control
Over what? The game gives you the ability to fuse anything you might need in battle, so long as your level is high enough, and it let's you choose the skills inherited to boot.

I wonder if there's a mod to swap out the demon art in base SMT IV. A lot of that game's issues could (theoretically) be solved with some pretty simple mods.

Trash. Sony gets the superior series anyways.

>Well it could but 3ds game is hard to mod

Two generations ago it did. Good JRPGs on Sony platforms died with the PS2, and to be honest they were staggering a bit then too.

The changes to the battle system would be welcomed, but an additional change to make the stat system less lopsided would be appreciated. Strength is useless, vit is absent, why not combine the two to make a stat that's actually worth pumping?

For one adults
Failing a secret mission that can doom your entire country has a lot more at stake than worrying about your grades, girlfriend or 1 pedo teacher
Catherine and Strange Journey are my favorite Atlus games and I just feel like a dumb old fart trying to relate with 17 year olds especially since my high school days were frankly pretty good but I don’t care for the past

That and we've never really seen how the government would weaponise Persona.

How do you get a bunch of adults to look after eachother without some kind of massive asspull?
I get military in itself is an ass pull but a centralized ass pull is no longer an asspull

>Persona faggot
Allow me

persona's done adult party members already in p2. if you think about it, it's a bigger asspull for persona powers to be exclusively limited to high-school-age kids like they are in hackshino's games.

>How do you get a bunch of adults to look after eachother
The same way you'd get anyone else to look after each other? Hell, it would be less of an asspull in a military environment because you're assigned to squads.

SMTI literally let you stunlock bosses until the final dungeon and 99% of random encounters could effortlessly be solved with machine guns + stun bullets

I CAST BEAST EYE, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO GAIN TWO PRESS ICONS. I CAST ANOTHER BEAST EYE, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO GAIN TWO PRESS TURNS. I CAST BEAST EYE AGAIN TO GAIN TWO PRESS TURNS. I CAST BEAST EYE ONCE MORE TO GAIN TWO PRESS TURNS.

I didn’t even think about how military grade personas would work
I’m imagining

SMT V probably won't even come at this rate. This series is dead, just give up. Even if they do keep releasing them they'll just become more and more like Persona. Strange Journey was the last good SMT game.

>How do you get a bunch of adults to look after eachother without some kind of massive asspull?
The Hunter Association in IV is already that

They aren't though. Adachi has a Persona, and I'm pretty sure Revolver Jesus was at least in his twenty's and he had one too.

Plus you can still keep some dating stuff
Just make almost all the female characters officers.

Yeah I feel you. I feel they kinda went slightly towards that direction with P5's romance options since if I recall, half the romance options are with college aged women since they figured the audience is older and would be more into that. I'd be down with a college based Persona game. Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't more college based stories in anime and Japanese games.
