Mermaid honestly looked pretty cool as a 3D model. This gives me hope for Doi's designs since the basic portraits weren't all that appealing. Here's to hoping he's also allowed more artistic freedom in his designs for V. I'm wondering how many new demon designs will even be placed in SMT V to begin with since the entire IV duology only got around 40 or so, and a lot of them didn't even return in Apocalypse like Yamato Takeru. Believe it or not, SMT as a whole has over 500+ demons.
Why haven't you hacked your 3DS user? It's piss easy to do. I did it last summer and I've beaten just about every Megaten title available.

So, what do you want to see out of the character designs in SMT V? I was pretty pleased with most of the designs we received in the IV duology. I think the only thing that bothered me was Nanashi's outfit. A lot of the concept art would have been nice to see, but alas.

They seem to have a more modern and "artsy" feel tp them based on the flower suit the hero has. Doi seems to be trying to ape Kaneko, which may or may not be a good thing.

The execution in the duology was truly lacking, but these two had pretty solid character arcs. It's a shame they went full retard after Blasted/Infernal Tokyo. Seeing what destruction comes of your beliefs should make you turn away from them, not embrace them even harder.

Gentlemen, it's time. Post your R A R E, SMT artwork.
Honestly, you shouldn't be dumping points into anything but Dex, Luck, and Agility. Dexterity effects both your Gun skills and Physical skills in IV for some reason, so it's fun to exploit. On top of that, not many things in the game can defend themselves against Guns or Physical attacks, so once again STR reigns supreme.

DO NOT put your points into STR it's worthless in IV since it only effects your regular attack. If you're going for a physical build then put them into DEX instead since they will actually scale your physical skills and not just gun skills, they fixed this in IV:A but that's how it is in IV. You can also go MAG if you'd like, it's super good as well.

I'm really going to miss this rather comfy SMT threads on Yea Forums after SMTV releases. Niche games just have chill discussion. Once V drops and attracts both popularity and new fans, I fully expect things to go to shit just as any fandom that receives a popular new title does. It'll likely be another cesspool of "X game is bad, x game good!" ad nauseum, or Persona shitposters crawling out of the woodworks. Maybe the White were right..

>Find a flaw.
His design wasn't given a touch up in Apocalypse, nor did it return in said game. Which is odd, considering Minotaur had a deal with Akira, and Nanashi is Akira. I really wish Apocalypse went into further depth on Nanashi being Akira though. They just kind of throw his past life out of the window, although we already saw what became of him in the original IV. Blasted Akira and Infernal Akira become kings in their broken down worlds. Same goes for the Akira of the Neutralverse.

i never understood why such a holy man also dual wields an automatic shotgun and rifle

I doubt SMTV will take off in the same way P5 did. Remember the reception IV had?

Doi didn't make Minotaur. He didn't make any of the demons in the original IV. Guest artists did. He did however give a few demons from IV an updated design. Like Medusa, Lucifer, Merkabah, Tenkai, and I think some other fucks.

Disgusting. Regardless though, IV managed to break 600k sales. While it's not a lot, I fully expect SMT V to break a million and gain even more exposure to show Atlus that SMT can take off even further. They literally can't fuck this up. The Switch is essentially a JRPG machine, and it's barren on original titles. I'm sure the Persona crowd will cave in and buy the game too until P6 releases.

I always wondered if anyone who interviewed Doi/Yamai asked that question in regards to redraws for demon roster.

For an actual challenge just put every point into luck and play on hard.
It makes for an intense playthrough where you actually have to plan and maintain a decent team of demons rather than just having Flynn destroy everything instantly.

They should call it:

>oh, well what did doi do to make everyone hate him then?

Doi didn't make any of those lads. He did however, make most of the new demons in Apocalypse like
>Odin
>Dagda
>Krishna
>Cleopatra
>Mephisto
>Adramalech
>Maitreya
>Danu
And then some demons in Strange Journey Redux like

Amon is an amazing design though, and I don't give a fuck what anyone says. He needs to tone down on the muscles and rubber texture for his demons though.

Anons are probably fed up of seeing Persona so much recently

The combat system was truthfully just the same old RPG combat but with Co-Op attacks slapped on. What was wrong the Strange Journey's fusion though? The Source system was grindy, but I didn't hate it.

When I fought Ourobouros for the first time
I also prefer the original over Redux, Redux is far too hand-holdy and doesn't provide the same feeling of a life and death delve into the unknown with the new game mechanics

I don't see the issue? They used to call the Persona game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona back when it was the small series. Now since Persona is so big they dropped it. They can call the SMT games Persona: Shin Megami Tensei so the franchise will get more recognition and popularity off of Persona's success. Building each other up, you know?

It might be the severe lack of news of V likely, it's been two years already since it has been revealed with only one trailer since then and is also nearing the same age so some feel like it might be time to try and round the chums together and get good discussions going and maybe get others into the series as well.

Most of Doi's redesigns are good, but a few of them suffer from simply not having Kaneko's sleekness to them in a game where Kaneko's sleekness makes every design look fucking immaculate. Compare Krishna to any other old design and then compare Demeter to any of them.

>Persona game Shin Megami Tensei
Nips never did that, only Shitlus USA did that.

There was occasional shitposting about the game being casualized because of the smirk system and a ton of people complaining they didn't know where to go.

I liked it better when I could just pick and choose my skills or game the RNG to just get whatever skill I want instead of just grinding for sources

Some of the artwork might have had some issues but god damn it if I didn't enjoy the hell out of IV. I still need to get back and finish IV:A though. I think I've had enough of a break from SMT.

IV threads were alright. Just a lot of complaints about how easy it is to get lost in the map, the Mikado tutorial with Naraku being too long, Mikado not having enough focus in general, the combat being annoying and snowballed as hell because Smirk is busted, and the lack of proper 3D combat being annoying.
I understand what you're trying to say, and it likely would be a viable marketing strategy (maybe), but I'd personally hate it. SMT & Persona need to stay in their own lanes.

I think SMT should be largely free of that, but the connection to Persona and it being exclusive is just gonna attract a lot of trouble makers. I hope you guys know how to ignore bait.

hey take it back, nocturne has a good ost

I really don't know. Persona threads are probably equally as worse as Xeno threads from what I've seen. They'll spend hours debating over which game is better, on top of the usual "my waifu is best!" bullshit. It's kind of sad. Here's to hoping that doesn't happen here though.

Oh yeah there's quite a few.
You get dumped in one mid way through the second sector with no real explanation and the game suddenly feels like you're in IVA

How does Yea Forums feel about Toki? I'm not gonna lie when I say she was my favorite girl in IV:A. Though I wish she didn't have the whole "master" thing going on with her so I wouldn't seem so basic when I say I like her. Also she was a pretty good party member when she managed to insta kill the mobs before the fight even started.

I felt unstoppable the first time I got this guy. Physical immunity was hype early on.

You must be high. If you actually sit back and listen to Nocturne's OST, you'll realize that it has a lot of good tracks.

One new area (think Nocturne extra dungeon), lots of new bosses and demons. Also tons of new side quests

I liked her a lot, she was one of my favorite team members. I certainly liked her more than Asahi. Then the game just kinda stops, so I guess we'll never see her again.

Just start over.

DeSu was done by Takami Asano.

SMT has the best chance of their existence to become relevant by being on the Switch, if they partner up with Nintendo to promote it like Squeenix did with Octopath you guys could eventually take back your mantle as the main Atlus rpg franchise back from Persona.

Start IV again. It's free for you since you already bought it, you don't remember anything about it and it'd set you up for Apocalypse.

his role in nocturn and iv were kino as fuck.

Nocturne made me like Matador, Strange Journey solidified my love for him.

I found SMTIV kind of easy and a little boring compared to the other entries in the franchise, but it wasn't particularly bad. This image kind of pisses me off.

SMTIV by itself had 40+ new demons. The issue is that none of those returned in Apocalypse unless they were redrawn. Overall, Apocalypse actually had less new demons + smt iv redraws than smt iv had new demons.

It's bizarre since initially they were advertising the game as having the biggest number of demons in the series, but at some point they seem to have decided to cut all SMTIV demons that didn't get new art.

Yeah, but Soul Survive specifically was composed by Koduka.

There was a demon called "Heracles" in SMTII, but it's one of the rare cases of SMT demons where it's just a random name given to an unrelated monster (one of the human/demon hybrids created in the game) rather than being meant to be the mythological figure.

In Persona itself, no, there has never been an Hercules.

Fusing them with another demon results in the next rank of the same demon race of the other demon, rather than the usual fusion formula. This is especially useful in Devil Survivor where each race has their own abilities.

Attached: 353_-_Hercules.jpg (1760x2204, 710K)

They had special fusion properties in SMT4. Like if you have a Fairy Jack Frost and threw in one of the elements there for fusion you'd "evolve" it and get Fairy Pyro Jack. Or with another Element you'd "devolve" it and get Fairy Pixie for example.
So yeah they were exactly fusion fodder.

This two are pretty hype, but I'm afraid I'll have to post the true best boss theme.

as a rule of thumb expect more dungeon crawling, no social sim, and a setting which is a crossing between bridges cyberpunk and fantasy
also there's no hard rule what constitutes a smt game, sometimes they just add the title when localizing it and sometimes the fans consider a game "smt" rather than just megaten because the gameplay is similar enough
iv has some difficulty spikes at the start but it's otherwise designed for newcomers

Honestly I think most SMT designs are either ugly or boring. I like Pyro Jack and that's about it.

To keep it short, less slice of life stuff, more wandering around, dungeons, and trying not to die.
Also you'll learn to take advantage of press turns. Hitting weaknesses/critting basically gives you an extra turn, allowing you to set up more or do more damage. Passing a turn also gives it to you, but passing again gets rid of the extra turn.
You can get a nice bit of mileage out of hitting a boss 8 times a turn when you have the right set up.

Megaten designs are made to reflect the demon's history and mythology, they're not meant just to be "cool" like other monster collecting series.

>SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP AAAA!
No.

The main differences are...
>Game is structured like a regular JRPG, no Day to Day calendar or social link business
>Fusion is a bit more complicated because there are more Demon Races than Arcana, with shit like Elements and Mitamas providing special mechanics
>All Party Members are demons you fused/recruited yourself, not party members with fixed movesets
>Instead of "Once More" combat where weakness exploits down enemies, Mainline SMT uses a system called "Press Turn" in which weakness exploitation grants you an extra turn down the line, and you can Pass a turn from one party member to the next without wasting an action.
>Story and tone are much more darker and existential in nature, usually with multiple endings based on your alignment from choices you made down the line
This is for mainline SMT, there are other spinoffs where things happen differently. Like the Raidou games are action RPGS.
A good starting point imo would be Nocturne, DDS, or 4.

Because that's what Arnie did in the original Terminator, and he's definitely a holy man.

Hot take: Nocturne has a better OST than IV. Especially the battle music.
The reason boss battle music is one of the best songs in all of Megaten easily.
youtube.com/watch?v=0Ha6KwcaR4I

As much as I like IV's music I don't think any of their battle themes top this. That being said, I think both OSTs fit their setting really well. Nocturne's OST is great but it wouldn't fit IV's setting and vice versa. Both are my top two favorite OSTs of all time too.

To make it easier to fill out the compendium and/or trying to get specific either moves or whatever on demons in a timely manner. They are purposefully underwhelming as to make one feel less attached and feel less bad about using them for fodder.
So really simply put they are there as time savers first and foremost.

My nigga.

Kinda funny though when the game has a snippet on the origins of every demon to the left of their status, along with their mythos of origin. Just incase you wanted to know a bit more on the fly.

Close enough.

Never noticed that. It is genius.

>why was it DLC
Cause non cannon maybe. That is why mostly i assume. Since they could then make the shit written off as something to ignore and then they made it a hype moment simply to convince nerds to buy the shit. That and maybe they didnt know how to best fit in a moment like that more naturally to fit with the main game so fuck it they may have said and made it dlc.

Based for hatefucks, sure.
Funny how immediately after this, the districts got raided while so many hunters were too busy reasonably judging you
Even bobo got a bit with the book hunt or the two alignment idiots when they had a day off, when you compare what the partners had in IVA.

>I hope that V stays as niche
same. still hope it does modestly well, like 800k or something. just more than IV

If you consider DLC to be canon, Mastema makes you time travel to kick all 3 of their arses so he can seal them, then I guess he works with the Ashura-kai in general.
Other than that I expect that at somepoint Mastema screwed them over to the point where the tokyo dwellers could seal them

Mastema asked Flynn to griffith them in DLC.

Which SMT game lets me rise up against society?

Right when you meet mastema

good taste fellow parvatibro. She was such a beast in Nocturne, unfortunately she's been more of an earlier game demon in the more recent games

It's going to do >1 million easy. Expect more 'Dark Souls of Persona' articles, too.

They were really on the Baal with this design

Persona 5

Didn’t they do the same thing to Strange Journey Redux?

>I hope that V stays as niche as the rest of them.
I can understand why you'd want this, but it's not good for the series. SMT can't continue to be niche forever. I'm sure even Atlus is wondering if it'll last in the coming years, and I really don't want to see it get thrown in the basement or left alone. I hope it gains more success and the proper exposure it deserves.

>he didn't play DDS

>not meant just to be "cool" like other monster collecting series.
That's a weird thing to throw my way considering I didn't say I'm bothered they don't look cool enough. Really what you said makes no sense in relation to my post. I don't think they're bad because they're based on mythology/demons, I just think they look shitty.

Mastema was based on this occasion. It's a shame he didn't reappear in Apocalypse. I really wanted to see what he would have said to Nanashi (Akira). Maybe in the remake, 20 years from now..

So do you.

If you talk with some demon npcs from the nearby district right before and after the reactor stuff, they talk about a large army of demons gathering to fight the ones in that tower in the past, and how something like that might happen again soon, telling Flynn to stay out of the way because it isn't a human's business.

The Apocalypse timeline seems to go with the version from the DLC though. It doesn't outright mention the time travel stuff but says that a mysterious person sealed them, IIRC.

We better get to fuse him in P5R.

Why? It seems like Akechi is getting redeemed or will at least tag along in the new content of P5R. Meaning we'll be able to use Loki as his Persona more than likely.

And yet the MC in that still chooses to protect it.

When we get SMT God of War

There's an animated scene in the trailer that shows him (well, his leg) in the black outfit alongside the other phantom thieves.

How would you react if SMTV went back to first person mazes like in SMTI and II?

Dissapointment.
I want 3d dungeons line in nocturne.
I want more shit like the red temple and the diet building in nocturne and not teleporter panels out the ass.

P1 (vishnu mainly), P2 in general, P3s for the most part, and the Izanagi Clones in P4. I like most of P5's starters except Zoro and only liked makoto's ultimate, Susano and Satanael for the ultimates in general

I'd cum.

Would be nice to have FP + IV's sort of movement with crevases and ladders

>then find out he's not even good
Shit sucks

I dislike first person dungeon crawling for this explicit reason. They really love to abuse teleporter mazes in these fucking games. Honestly the 3D dungeons like Nocturne or DDS had similar issues. They felt railroaded like the first person dungeons. I hope that changes in V. More open spaces to explore through, and so forth.

At least Shekinah has it so co-op is useful.

I'm talking pure aesthetics here, I didn't think SMT demons were the literal mythological characters, just based on them.

Oh shit I'm sorry

Man, they really should have gone with one of those older designs. The one she got absolutely doesn't look like something a Ring of Gaea member would wear.
