Jesus christ, they can't even give us an update. I dont think it's cancelled, but it's clearly going through some serious development hell. Feels like ever since sega bought Atlus they slowed down severely on development and localization

this is all nintendo's fault for making a shitty toy tablet that can't run modern games. at this point, it's pretty obvious that atlus is struggling to develop the game because of the switch's shit hardware. they should have pulled a mhw with smtv and skipped the switch.

Nocturne is shit, emulate Strange Journey instead.

or maybe smt is just shit and they struggle to go through the torture of developing such shit when they know they could be working on a good series like persona instead

>back to emulating Nocturne
Emulate the Chronicles version.

SMT V will be a beat em up in response to Yakuza fans displeasure of the new entry. Development will be restarted.

>smt doesn’t even try to stay alive anymore

Sakura Taisen and Yakuza is what switched gameplays. Sakura Taisen is a action game when it used to be turn based, and Yakuza is turn based when it used to be an action game.

SMT have nothing to do in their relationship, Sega already had their bases covered for when Yakuzafags sperg out

> switched gameplays
Except Sakura Taisen was a tactical rpg not a turn based jrpg

>Playing as Demi-fiend punching the shit out of demons and Gaea Rage'ing the bosses

Why make a new game when you can milk ironic weeb money from rereleasing a game 10 times for full price?

This
Smtfags need to direct their hate at Nintendo for gimping their series for so many years both in sales and the actual games themselves instead of persona.

There could have been another reality where SMT games continuously released on PS consoles like Nocturne and they would be selling as much as P5 since Nocturne sold the most of them on PS2.

i know, right?

>they clearly wanted to do persona
>end up making persona but better in every way without trying
the real problem with persona as a side series is its board of directors, they're all fucking retards mismanaging the fantastic talent they have working for them
imagine a persona OST without meguro in it

You mean a PS5 version. They're keeping quiet about it for a surprise reveal for when Sony formally announces the PS5.

I would actually support that because I hate exclusivity even more than I hate Sony.

Cringe. Go play an actual dating sim if you're so fucking lonely.

I too remember when p5 was cancelled.

Proud Persona zoomer here. If your birth year starts with a 1 and you don't have a discord, twitter and reddit account, you should fuck off!

the only people blaming persona for smt's drought are nintendofags who don't even really like smt for the games, they just like that it's on nintendo consoles (and hate persona for being on sony consoles).
these are the same people who pretend that mhw ruined the monster hunter franchise just because the exclusivity deal with nintendo ended and capcom brought the series back to other platforms.

Give it some time. P5 was delayed several years but eventually came out, SMTV will be the same way

What happened to that original IP they were making?

Its like all you zoomers forgot how long it took for Persona 5 to come out.

>God I fucking hate retards and retard enablers
Didnt Atlus reps themselves said Persona has grown so big it cant no longer be called a SMT spin off?

I haven't been in a Persona thread since the jap release of P5 and it's just insane how bad these retards got, are all of their threads like this?

Persona 3 was bad enough if you were a megatenfag but Persona 5 brought in so many more people who were even younger and more annoying. Now on websites and social media, every time you see a Persona avatar, it's usually someone who is still in their teens, has their pronouns in their bio and whines about bigotry.

Re:fantasy?
Work in progress, I think Hashino stated it's like 50% done last December.

Didnt P5 took too long because they had to upgrade all the demon models and also add a PS4 version in the making as well? P5 already took care of the former problem so it has no excuse to take this long

Not that user but that sounds fucking great. Though that Katana/Gun combo needs to be one item, not two. It would be silly to carry both a Katana and a Gun as our lord and saviour Vergil shows us.

It was engine troubles since Atlus went and made their own internal engine for P5 plus the whole shitshow with Index going down which left Atlus in limbo until Sega grabbed them.

Nice, they should wait until Yuzu is working properly so I can play it when it releases.

Atlus is a budget company that has never swung too heavy towards cutteng edge graphics. Even games like Catherine and P5 which use their best looking engine still aren't as graphically intensive as other anime engine games and the engine can run on a fucking toaster.

The Switch's hardware has nothing to do with it and it's literally all about sales. SMTV is low on the totem pole because Atlus knows it won't sell as well and is thus not a priority.

I'm not sure what those games have to do with anything because Atlus didn't make them.

P5 still absolutely crushed those numbers though.

Anyone here who DOESN'T think this obvious outcome will occur?

I really hate the new PS1/Smt4 desings, his original design was fucking perfect
SMT is a niche series, fans are going to buy it even if it's shit. There's no need to actually try to make it better, it's never going to be a mainstream series like Persona. Casual gamers don't like dungeon crawlers

Attached: Smt1herooldart.jpg (1212x2368, 304K)

Fuck, I love his design.

Such an innocent lad

ATLUS does this shit all the time. Plus Persona's the moneymaker, so they'll focus that. We're the spin-off now. Admittedly I wish Persona would dial back the romances just a tad to put more resources into the dungeons and overall story, but that's just not what makes the money anymore.

>SMTfags are gay for OG Hero
Who would have fucking guessed?

P5 had actual marketing though. Both Sony and Sega saw to that.

IV and Apocalypse can really be called dungeon crawlers? Said dungeons are barely more difficult/designed than the ones in P5.

the "romances" are barely a thing in persona already. the dating sim elements are wildly overrated by both waifufags and persona haters.

Meh
It was never that good of a blobber outside the music

I think part of that is you just can't write a realistic romance. There are so many minor, seemingly insignificant details that ultimately add up, combined with emotional lows and highs, and other outside factors that it just can't be done in what is ultimately a wish fulfillment game.

Atlus not showing shit at TGS about their games unde development is nothing new, they alwayd have their own shitty streams for that stuff. Also have people already forgotten

>WINTER 2014 FOR PS3

Its over. SMTV is coming to the west at the earliest 2030. please understand atlus is a small indie company

>blobber

Lewd.

You're not wrong but Persona didn't exactly disappear during that time either.

And they were dogshit.

If waifus are the metric of quality why hasn't Devil Survivor gotten a new game yet?

Didn't they only really start working on the game like last year?
IV took a long time too, just wait.

romances are not the problem (they're optional content) but how bland and tasteless the series has become. nothing good comes out of catering to normalfags in the long run.

Attached: 1550397377418.jpg (640x450, 26K)

No, and most SMT fans agree that IV and Apocalypse are bad SMT games.
That's not what I've said. I don't care about the slow development process as long as the final product is good. But it's not going to be successful as long as it's what the fans want. Dungeon crawler games are niche, no matter how much you market it, people are not going to suddenly start liking dungeon crawlers. SMTIV did well because it was a linear story focused JRPG, that's not what SMT fans want though

>No, and most SMT fans agree that IV and Apocalypse are bad SMT games.
>And they were dogshit.
Nigger what, IV I get due to balance problems but IVA isn't bad. Story's a mess even compared to it's predecessor, but it's a fine game in the other areas

Have you played any of the previous SMT games? IV is bad because it's just "Linear Corridors: The Game", Apocalypse has better dungeons I guess but they're still pretty mediocre compared to other SMT games and the writing is fucking painful to sit through. The only good thing about it is that you can kill the retarded characters at the end.
by "SMT fan" I'm talking about those who've played all SMT games, the mainline ones at least.

IV is different but that doesn't make it bad
I enjoyed how instead of huge dungeons it made the entire overworld one huge danger zone and exploring it pretty rewarding on its own right
Sure as fuck wasn't traditional, but it gave IV's Tokyo a sense of place and made the game pretty immersive overall, which is what they were actually going for

It's basically same situation as HL3 few years back, it's cool to believe they need the time but most likely there's nobody working on the game by now. Spending so many workhours on SMTV cannot be justified given it's just not where the money is.

I think it makes most sense for SMTfags to just replay old games instead of looking forwards to a game that might not even come out, or at least not live up to high expectations people have.

I've been saying this since SMT4 came out and I think you're one of the first people that I've seen have a similar opinion. Everyone bitches about how the overworld is hard to navigate but that's the entire point, it's supposed to be hard to navigate.

Not anymore
I’m pretty sure the Maniax team fucking hate working on persona or already left the company

This is getting ridiculous. At least put out a statement saying how it's going.

As for dungeons, I get the feeling they were aiming for "realism" rather than making complex mazes. Most areas were real places I think, I've never been to Tokyo.
Looking at it that way, the dungeons, music and atmosphere were the best things about IV. That and the fact that they went back to having actual equipment for your character, and of course the fuckhuge compendium. The rest is mostly mediocre shit, yeah.

How is the overworld hard to navigate? It's no more difficult than SMT I and II was.

Not him but a common complaint with the game was how it was hard to navigate the overworld and directions weren't super helpful. I never had a problem with this because I just loved exploring.

Zero Switch support outside of showing a measly logo 2 years ago.

I actually find SMT fun compared to Persona, funnily enough.

>durrrr i want morr circlejerks between lawfags and chaosfags
yeah the dialog was pretty shit but the overall plot was better than most smt games.
the overall plot and the setting was created by the guy who worked on previous smt games you fucktard

I know, I don't even like Nocturne. It's a good game but it doesn't really have the SMT feel I want. Everything is too demonic rather than religious/sci-fi. I also don't like how it doesn't have any equipments. IV felt more like SMTI and II with both the setting and music so that's a good thing.
Well, you care about the combat system more than the dungeons I guess, understandable. Apocalypse's combat was good, I'm not gonna deny that.
IV's overworld isn't much different than I and II's overworld though

So Apocalypse?

It was teenaged SMT on the same lines of devil-Children at 1st

It’s when it wanted to be a VN with P3 is when shit took a turn for the worse

Why does Yea Forums refuse to accept this?

umm sweetie, actually both persona and smt are spinoffs of Megami Tensei series

Also that most people who buy SMT games were first introduced to the series by the Persona games.

Not anymore

The director literally said in April that they’re still working on it

Ha-ha

only non-dungeon crawler SMT is IV, even Apocalypse had some proper dungeons. SMT is a dungeon crawler

News in April or tentative release date?

Sega of America was behind "Genesis Does". Sega of Japan has always been varying degrees of stupid.

I can't be attracted to that, it would be like fucking a zebra

the most recent SMT game had one of its most convoluted dungeon designs yet, though

That one dude from Strange Journey

Not really. Having one or two dungeons that are somewhat complicated doesnt really pass as dungeon crawler.
They are certainly never gonna have another SJ like dungeons.

Hiraoka: Shin Megami Tensei V is still under development. However, because this is Atlus’ first time tackling Nintendo Switch game development, there are many things to consider. How to present the game is our future challenge, so please wait patiently for follow-up news

>IV is bad because it's just "Linear Corridors: The Game"
That's literally every SMT except IV.

All DS games have 3DS remakes and the remakes are better overall. Though if you don't have a 3DS or a PC that can run 3DS emulator DS versions are good too. I'd say start with Strange Journey.
Or just download a snes emulator and play the first 2 games, but if you do that, I'd recommend using a walkthrough/wiki to check the spell names since the game doesn't tell you what they do.

Atlus has finally realized that due to Persona success, there's no need to keep SMT alive anymore.

Nobody cares about SMT nowadays unless they're a zoomer who thinks Atlus died when Persona 3 came out or people trying to relive their childhood with these titles.

They tried to appeal to the Persona crowd with Apocalypse, but it didn't appeal to them nor actual SMT fans, with them calling the worst game in the series.

So now due to Persona 5 major success, they no longer need anything else. They don't need SMT alive anymore. They can put all of their time into the Persona series and generate tons of cash from it.

Face it, you'll never see Demifiend, Aleph, Kyouji, Raidou, or even the badass SMT 2 & 3 Lucifer anymore.

All you see is waifus that appeals to everyone like Futaba and Fuuka. It's a future that you cannot escape from.

But don't think due to this, Persona 1 and 2 will come back. They'll remain forever as those "bad forgettable" in the series that's not worth to play. Persona 3 is the real FIRST Persona game now.

Best to accept this reality before you get left behind in the suffering void.

Attached: Shadow_Tatsuya.png (124x164, 17K)

Persona is shit because actual gameplay is only 20% of the game, the rest is VN shit and sadly almost all JRPG of the past decade follow the same model.

How does power have anything to do with anything when previous games were on the 3ds, ds, ps2, SNES, and NES?

...and that's a good thing!

She huge.

Atlus were very smart with #FE in that department. Gameplay-VN ratio is 8:2.

>They'll remain forever as those "bad forgettable" in the series that's not worth to play. Persona 3 is the real FIRST Persona game now.
Actually they're starting to turn on 3 now, too. 4's considered the first real Persona now.

Too bad the marketing campaign and the teasing of a FE x SMT game leading up to the first trailer killed everyone's interest in the game.

>Atlus is a budget company
Not anymore since Sega bought them. Hopefully their future games will improve because of this, but who knows.

P5 felt like a low budget game so the budget may increase but it's clear all the talent left the company.

Glad you never played it :)

Just because Sega bought them doesn't mean they are going to give them much for higher budgets. If you're a big corporation and you see a budget dev able to pull tidy profits out of shoestrings, you're not going to think "imagine what they could make if we gave them more money to work with!". You're going to think "we could profit off of them at minimal cost!"

Is SMT 1 and 2 worth playing?

Not contrarian at all, Nocturne dismantled many series staples, including no human party members, less party members, no magnetite, over reliance on buffs that trivialized the game harder than status effects in the earlier games, etc...

Ah yes because as we all know Atlus is known for always pushing graphics to the limits. In all seriousness do these niggers (Noctournecucks) not realise that SMT never was about the graphical capabillity, rather the story and the unique gameplay?

Start with SMT3, if you like it give SMT1, Digital Devil Saga and Strange Journey a try. If you need a bit more action in your gameplay, try the Raidou games. If you're an SRPG fiend, give Devil Survivor a look.

SMT3 is nothing like I or 2

user, I like SMTI and SMTII myself, but they are tedious to play today. Any complaints that apply to Nocturne's balance can be applied to the snes games. SMTI bosses can be cheesed with stun, allowing you to go entire boss fights where the boss never even acts. In SMTII later bosses have such bloated hp that you basocally need divine retribution and tarukaja to not make the fight last fifteen minutes.

Nocturne, as imbalanced as it is, only improved upon mechanics of the prior games.

Im replaying DeSu 2 like 2 times due to has a interesting newgame +, i don't mind that it took longer if its good.

Start with 4 or 4:A, then afterwards you can try 3 or the Devil survivor games

I know. I'm not expecting great things if he just starts with SMT1

Attached: 1566240543085.jpg (600x315, 27K)

It didn't improve shit, it removed 3/4 of the mechanics instead of improving them.
As far as I am concerned SMT III is Strange Journey and IV doesn't exist.

RIP mom

you shouldn't play 4A before 4.

Nah pretty sure the nips love Door too much for that.

Attached: 967751_alphonseanarch_door-kun-persona-3.jpg (2181x3000, 1.18M)

Making demons actually useful was bigger then then anything SMTII did.

Why is atlus having so much trouble with the switch? I'd rather V come out on PS4/at this point since it seems another 2y before they're actually showing it.

>with them calling the worst game in the series.
>IV:A
That's contrarian if i've ever seen one, it's better than base SMT IV and III. Even if you disagree, i wouldn't call any SMT game "bad"

A lot of companies that were reliant on nintendo handhelds for their games got fucked overbsince the switch is much more demanding then the 3ds. Look at pokemon and fire emblem and how ugly they look, GF and IS were banking on only slightly better hardware for nintendo's handheld and when the switch ended up being both their console and handheld they were screwed over.

honestly the hero had it harder than everyone else with no actual reward in the end. he also died a dog's death

Porting stuff to the switch or making games on its source code is literally nothing more difficult than a PS4 to program for, especially so because the Switch was basically made for UE4 i.e the most developer friendly engine

It changed the series for the worse, because it also dumped Mag, Nocturne is textbook casualized sequel.

Maybe it's a UE4 issue. Dragon Quest 11 Switch suffered massive delays because of a version issue with UE4 so maybe Atlus was working with that version, hit a wall and then had to start over.

It's a weird situation. As good as the combat is the plot and cast really do hamper the overall experience. While prior games never had deep characters they were at least competent in terms of their overall role to the story. Chiaki and Isamu are assholes but it works.

How can you casualize an already casual series?

By making it more casual?

You do know they have 2 different teams to work on games right?

OH BOY

Actually the first time i know about MegaTen is Smt 1 on Snes.
Ds games rereleased on the 3ds, Smt Dx2 server is still alive, they still give a shit about Smt, they still in development in V, they slow because they tries the smt engime on the switch since Persona is in different engime and its Atlus of course.
I don't say that i hate Persona, im playing Persona 2 and im enjoying it, the best part about this game is that how the designs is smtish, the concept of turning rumors real and Igor.
Persona is good and all, but i also love Smt, im replaying Strange Journey on newgame+.
I waiting for SmtV atleast announced a trailer or a teaser.
>But don't think due to this, Persona 1 and 2 will come back. They'll remain forever as those "bad forgettable" in the series that's not worth to play. Persona 3 is the real FIRST Persona game now.
Says the one who has a persona 2 mc.

Don't like how Apocalypse made the protagonists from the mainline games chosen ones, or Messiahs. Goes against what Kaneko once said about chosen ones.

Yeah, just realized Strange Journey and Devil Survivor are the only ones on DS anyway. Just grabbed the both and will probably start with Journey.
I heard Redux was shit though compared to the original or maybe that's just Yea Forums?.

Mag was fucking pointless, SMT 1 and 2 (and kyuuyaku) are easy as shit compared to SMT3 and IV.

They are all kind of "chosen ones" in their own way though
>The Hero is the reincarnation of Adam
>Aleph was created to be the perfect savior
>Demi-fiend was chosen by Lucifer to inherit the powers of the magatama
>Flynn is the reincarnation of Akira
I get what you mean though. The dlc is really just fan service bullshit though, I wouldn't take it so seriously.

Lmao if you understand the buff/debuff system by Matador, the only real roadblock in the game besides bad RNG on Mot you wont die a single time in Nocturne.

still more thought required than the earlier games, you can pretty much just go on auto throughout.

>I heard Redux was shit though compared to the original or maybe that's just Yea Forums?.
Literally just Yea Forums and kanekodickriders.
Redux has QoL enhancements, extra demons, story stuff and the new Law, Chaos and even Neutral endings are pretty cool in their own right. Neutral isn't the clear ""good"" ending this time unlike the other games.
It also gives your entire investigation team portraits and voice acting which may be good or bad depending on your taste.

>Neutral isn't the clear ""good"" ending this time unlike the other games
Spoil me. I must know since i'm very annoyed with the series tendency to paint Neutral as good.

>>Flynn is the reincarnation of Akira
Someone didn't play apocalypse

It makes the character art style more anime, and adds a shitty optional storyline but that storyline has a great new dungeon. Also there are new endings if you finish the new dungeon, they're good.
Yeah, and I don't like what it does to YHVH. I hope SMTV ignores or just retcons Apocalypse
No

I wouldn't say Asahi, Navarre and Toki are terrible characters either, and the rest of the cast is present but in an easily believable way and without taking too much time away from the plot itself and everything else that actually constitutes the game.
I'm inclined to believe the people who hate Apocalypse's story and writing are the kind of retards that take everything at face value without even understanding the context most plot threads come from and develop in. The only terrible thing about it is that one ending, but you can easily pretend it doesn't even exist, or it's not canon.

Yes

Apoc is an alternate universe.

>Toki
>not trash
user...

She is literally the most pandering character in the cast. The only remotely decent character is Gastpn since he doesn't kiss your ass the second he meets you.

>flynn is the reincarnation of akira
kek, that's wrong even in 4.

I'd say Demi-Fiend doesn't count since Lucy picked him because of his potential, not that he was inherently special.
>tfw they left out the one other regular guy

removing half of the mechanics doesn't make the gameplay better. Also just my opinion, not an actual criticism but I don't like how protagonists can use spells now, it kinda kills the point of having demon party members.

>removing half of the mechanics doesn't make the gameplay better.
it does when they were fucking pointless like mag

Attached: 1566961141509.jpg (480x480, 37K)

To be fair why shouldn't they? In the early games they couldn't so that the heroine had a niche and wasn't just a shittier version of the hero. Without an active heroine its fine.

>>Flynn is the reincarnation of Akira
Flynn was the reincarnation of someone else equally important. Akira was his buddy.

I don't know if you know the original SJ neutral ending but you beat Mem Aleph, put an end to the Shwarzwelt, then get to go home and hopefully humanity won't ever incur the wrath of the Earth and have a second Shwarzwelt happen right?
Well, the new ending basically shits in your neutral-aligned face since a traveler from the future states that humanity hasn't learned a goddamned thing and the second Shwarzwet wipes out humanity anyway.
Humanity is doomed to forever make Shwarzwelts happen which someone has to go and repeatedly clean up humanity's mess, aka you. You're basically the worlds janitor forever. The other endings of course dabble into more permanent and less exhausting solutions making them arguably better depending on your views.

Even Demifiend used spells though.

In fact the only SMT protag from the past ~20 years who can't is Space Marine which is why everyone makes fun of him and calls him a vending machine.

In the new subplot introduced it is revealed that destroying the schwarzvelt is only temporary and that it will come back within a few decades.
In the new neutral ending the MC becomes literally doomguy and ascends to an immortal human that does the whole shebang again and destroys the schwarzvelt each time it comes back for the rest of eternity

Attached: 1446431548757.png (973x1372, 176K)

The staple of SMT what to have different party members that represented different archetypes in personality and abilities like that dude who fuses with a demon for Vengeance.
In essence IV was a better SMT than Nocturne, too bad it sucked in all other areas.

The worst thing is that you don't even get paid for cleaning up the world's messes over and over again. You're doing it for free. Zero remuneration.

I like the protagonist being a regular guy who relies on demons. It doesn't feel like that when they use magic. Gameplay wise it's better this way since it allows more play styles though. But Doomguy is okay since he uses the GUN magic

This is still easily the best neutral ending in the series.

Not SMT but have we heard even a SINGLE word about EO Next Stage?
I'm fucking dying over here, Atlus. Quit announcing shit and then pretending it doesn't exist for years on end.

Attached: Etrian-Odyssey-Teaser_07-28-18 (1).jpg (600x338, 34K)

I always thought that was just a system limitation since COMP uses the Magic slot in battle. But I get what you mean. It makes your MC feel more human in a way.

>Zero remuneration.
I thought a big part of SMT was that individualism is a pretty shitty philosophy and only expresses cowardice and escapism from the fact even your own life is about more than you as a single entity

And?

>EO on a system without dual screens.
I'm curious but a little worried too.

Well that and whenever you use an item in SJ, you go first pretty much all of the time.

>The other endings of course dabble into more permanent and less exhausting solutions making them arguably better depending on your views.
I hope so. Anything's better than Neutral wanking.

Neutral wanking is part of the series, it's a shame but still. The real problem isn't shilling neutral, but making it too perfect.

Neutral is perfect

As generally incompetent as the Persona team is (the Persona engine seems to be a nightmare to work with), I can see why the would stall showing that.

Yikes

I always found the Raidou games to be mediocre as shit and I struggled to even finish the first one (the references to the mainline SMT were fucking retarded)

I really tried to like Raidou games but I can't, I couldn't even force myself to finish 2
It's not really the story of the game but I liked how it connects the Devil Summoner timeline to mainline games at the end

why is atlus spoiling literally every single frame of new content in the entire game wtf we don't even get to play it until six months later AGAIN.

I'm unironically fine with this as long as Raidou and Demifiend are unlockable characters.

>be smt fan and get smt iv: a
>refinement over dungeon, combat, navigation
>hurr durr i hate it cuz bad dialog

atlus can never please smt fans.

I thought it was a lot more focused and ends in a much more satisfying way. I don't really think 2 had any moments as good as fighting the future Raidou.

has the least personality of all of them, Tatsuya had the same vaguely autistic loner thing going at the beginning of the gmae but came across as much more interesting thanks to his actions in gameplay like his impressions and karaoke, not even counting the character interactions

All the good things were duly noted tho, as much as people saying IV:A was the best SMT yet in terms of gameplay. People can have mixed feelings about shit you know.

those were valid complaints though

I guess that's true. Now that I think about it there weren't a lot of big, standout moments in Raidou 2. I guess I just generally prefer the addition of allignments and other more SMT familiar shit

>They are certainly never gonna have another SJ like dungeons.

They did the Bible for DeSu1, and NGE for DeSu2. They're out of stories to use for DeSu3.

Persona 6 IS gonna happen before SMT5 and there's nothing you can do about it

Not until after the fighting game comes out

I just don't know how they'll manage without doing that though

It's got top tier waifus. You just have to kill them.

that implies that sega won't force atlus to milk p5 as much as possible before that

That's not really a fair comparison, as Raidou 1 has the best story in the entire series

the complaint that it's persona-like is kind of dumb when SMT If existed for years

Persona 3 is about coming to terms with the fact you'll die
I honestly don't get how anyone couldn't get this it beats you over the head with it constantly

Stop playing P2 right now and play P1 first, P2 is a sequel of sorts and you'll miss out.

Sega doesn't even care what Atlus is doing, they're not making them bank like CA or other studios.

Might as well make the game about breathing lmao.

play P1 first

Persona 3 is about death and loss. They wrote "Memento Mori" on their suicide guns and made half the social links about people who are dying or lost someone. It's really not that subtle.

>Persona 3 is about coming to terms with the fact you'll die
really? was the memento mori stuff serious then? I thought it was about shitty procedurally generated dungeons

Every party member has dead friend/relative loss they need to deal with to upgrade their persona.

This bait is getting stale, get some new material

it's probably because they've backpedaled away from their own theme several times with junpei's revival, chidori's revival, and giving themselves an excuse to revive door-kun for more shilling in the future. by the time you finish playing through the answer, p3 becomes "the game about nothing."
for as much crap as p4 and p5 get, at least they don't shove a theme in your face at the beginning of the game and then proceed to do the exact opposite of it in every key moment.

Nice shitty fan "translation".

Which version of persona 1 is better?

Attached: bald_frost.jpg (954x954, 91K)

PSP, the PS version shouldn't even be mentioned

Every poll Atlus put out regarding characters, Door-Kun or P3 MC has ALWAYS been ranked #1.

PSP with soundtrack patch. Not perfect, but the closest to perfect there is.

Truly, the only path worth walking is neutral - simply focusing on talking about SMT

of course japan loves door-kun. they love self-insert characters, and door-kun is the most over-the-top with the whole "anime emo jesus" shtick, the universe arcana, etc.

I'm starting to hate persona threads cause of the amount of nincels foaming from the mouth that they didn't get P5

>no waifus
Sit down.

But they got P5 musou and are still not satisfied.

If you know japanese, PS1. But you probably don't know japanese so play the PSP version, with OST patch, it loses some of the songs but it's the best you can get

Depends on which soundtrack you like better, get the PS music patch for the PSP version if you prefer classic SMT music. I personally enjoyed the PSP tracks a lot more.

not really, smt has always had a darker, cryptic tone. 4A was a clear attempt to transplant it with persona's more highschool anime tone and it felt like a significant departure for the series

Nocturne had a power of friendship ending.

Honestly, considering IV sold over 600k alone without mentioning Apocalypse sales, I'd be very surprised if SMTV didn't manage to break a million and put the franchise in a relative spotlight again.

As usual, this board and its pessimism are frying people's brains. It's like people forgot that we went through this exact same scenario with Persona 5.

that's deep dude

i wish i was as optimistic as you user

not a personaweeb and never said it being a side game forgives its faults. I simply stated the fact that it's not the first time an SMT game has done that.

cope more

seems like by the time it'l come out the next generation will be about to begin

Exactly. Atlus have always been slow as fuck

>I'd be very surprised if SMTV didn't manage to break a million and put the franchise in a relative spotlight again.
I agree. I'm kind of iffy about the whole radio silence from Atlus, or hell, Nintendo, even. Nintendo's colaboration with the game would mean that it would break the 1M benchmark easily.

wow, what a salient point you've made. tell me more dipshit

I have no idea desu

Peak zoomer aesthetics, P5 is such eye cancer.

>an example of a game in the SMT series that has done similar things in the past is not evidence against "It'S LIKE perSONA NOW!!!"

you are either fucking retarded or you're the personafag

In his bio he calls himself "Kaneko's apprentice" but I doubt its literal. Seems like a fan that is really good at imitating his style and design process.

Fuck off shill.

SMTV can break a million sales if it's a casualized story focused game like IV, but I don't think any SMT fan wants that. As long as SMT is SMT, a dungeon crawling series, it's not going to be popular.

>All the Persona fans looking for something new to play since P6 likely won't be out for ages longer due to Atlus having long development cycles
I'd wager a good chunk of newer Persona fans are exclusively P5 fans though. Even if they're looking for something new, they're not looking for, or may not even know of, SMT V. P5 was wildly successful due to the huge marketing even drawing in the normalfag and supercasuals who only just experienced their first JRPG. They're not going to actively look into ATLUS's games unless it says "P5" in it. They might touch P3 and P4, but I'd say it's bordering on wild fancies to expect even a tenth of them to grab SMT V.

Not really, I just really dislike P5 as a whole, I'm not a fan of P3 and, 4 but I could appreciate the design choices and overall themes although 3 felt lazy and all over the place at times but there is nothing redeeming in 5, it feels like lowest common denominator shit.

Sadly, the terminal cancers of smashfaggotry and console warring have made that impossible.

I thought The Answer was fine. It felt like each character was representing the different ways of dealing with loss, especially with the teams chosen at the end. Plus you get to see the changes in everyone's character. As for the theme yeah, it's laid on pretty thick but I don't find it too inappropriate considering it's supposed to be a melodrama type story. You got a ranking for them?
