Kaneko is back, with just this sliver of hope, demons should at least look good again though they can still fuck up the gameplay.

>>13718375

Get ready for joycon wagglan.

Why would you want to play 4A? Its a worse version of 4. And 4 isn't that good to begin with. Plus 3ds is laughably easy to hack anyway.

>>13718418

I will point out after the positive response to p5's localization, atlus will hopefully be handling all localization jobs for their games themselves and not let noa touch them so we never have this mess or tms fe again. And if they are smart never make a crossover that is neither series again.

>>13718461

Anon we all know 'that guy' will never not be mad that normalfags think Persona is the main series. He will never ever get over it.

Isn't Deep Strange Journey already out? Somebody who speaks nip could say whether or not it's as bad as everyone worried it would be.

Is Kaneko really back? Seems like something Atlus would have revealed right off the bat to generate hype.

>>13718633

I haven't seen anything that confirms it, but based on the teaser the humans look like they are designed from Kaneko but I'm not sure, to me his designs make humans look doll-like. Seeing their faces would probably confirm it but they haven't shown any.

>>13718694

I'm leaning towards the SMTIV guy. He's basically become a fill-in for Kaneko for character and demon designs now.

>>13718697

I think the trailer is making people think this because it looks very reminiscent of the PS2 FMVs and Nocturne.

>I think the trailer is making people think this because it looks very reminiscent of the PS2 FMVs and Nocturne.

Probably, though to be honest I'm more interested in the gameplay than the designer at the moment. The director has already been interviewed http://archive.is/BySql and I get he wanted to announce it for the 25th anniversary but I don't know whether I should expect something like IV or Nocturne from the guy.

>>13718375

>Kaneko is back

Please provide proof.

>>13718827

One man is not a design team. The reason that Nocturne and IV are so incredibly different is because IV was the Persona departments attempt at mainline and it sucked.

Reminder that in SJ:DEEP, Alex is your daughter from the future who you have to kill which makes you fuck off to the moon and let the Schwarzvelt consume the earth.

the fuck is she doing in the present?

It's only a problem when Nintendo is publishing the game. If Nintendo is not the publisher there is none of these mistakes but the problem is most nip companies are cheap when it comes to Nintendo so they let them publish the work in the west for a nintendo console, mainly because Nintendo is a brand name and automatically they think it's going to make money with that Nintendo logo.

>>13719045

>>13719079

Also, she replaces Mem Aleph as the final boss of the normal neutral ending. You do it as normal but then kill Alex who wants to stop you from using the Cosmic Egg.

>>13719079

Provide proof please.

>>13719045

>>13719028

You guys forgot to ask for proof.

>>13718461

You have no source, anon. Just dipshits yeling that Kaneko is back with no source either. Besides, Persona 5 is leagues better than 4 and 4F. If they did get Kaneko back, it won't magically make SMTV a better game. It'll make the character designs look nice, but gameplay will still be shit.

Or just wait until the game comes out.

>>13719634

>gameplay will be shit

I doubt this tbh

>>13719646

Did some people have a problem with IV? i know casuals found it too hard compared to shit like FF13, Pokemon X/Y or Eternal Sonata and the like but it seemed okay. Bit too similar to Etrian Odyssey i some respects though.

>>13719669

IV was shit, between the total lack of difficulty, smirk in general, the lack of a defense stat, and the ruined fusion system, and the lack of dungeons it was hot garbage. That is not even getting into the story or characters which were pretty bad too.

>>13719704

Well it did feel like a reactionary game. Lotta EO, SnK and a fair few other influences were pretty obvious.

Which could be why V looks a lot like its actually a soft reboot touching back on Megami Tensei. It is an anniversary game after all.

>>13719704

The game is pretty difficult anon, at the very least for the first 6-10 hours, and then slowly it starts to get easier, but never easy outright

smirk is a broken game mechanic, yes

the lack of a defense stat wasn't great, yeah

It had a pretty decent number of dungeons

Characters were okay; I liked the story as well, my main problem with it was its disjointedness, but the first 20 hours did feel very enjoyable to me. I haven't been able to finish it because I've been away from my 3DS for months and can't get back to it till the winter, but I'm 60 hours in so far.

I'd personally give it a solid 8-8.5/10

>>13719371

It's all on youtube.

>>13719744

Its really too soon to tell either way if V will be any good or not.

>>13719759

The difficulty started to melt away as soon as you had a full party and by the time you hit minotaur had completely vanished thanks in large part to how easy to abuse the fusion system was. By the time I hit tokyo I never once felt threatened by anything. No restrictions on what skills can be inherited(with a handful of exceptions) was a mistake. So was allowing the MC to learn nearly any skill.

>>13719830

I still threatened by plenty of things. There was almost always at least 1-2 optional dungeons/monster lairs in each "section" of tokyo that were usually absurd to deal with.

Medusa was also a pretty huge bitch to deal with too, but she's technically before tokyo as well.

There were parts of tokyo that did feel like absolute bitches to deal with. Usually the ones where you encountered group mobs you couldn't run away from, and you'd get raped if you weren't strong enough to handle them (or if you get smirked). Doesn't mean you're not right about a pretty good chunk of it being pretty easy to just go through.

The area ran by the Ring of Gaea was a bitch to deal with if I remember correctly (I think it was the Ginza region?). The tower rescue portion was a spike in difficulty too. (though the bosses there were not great).

I also remember either the Shibuya area, or the Shinjuku area giving me some trouble (or maybe both)

It really did have a noticeable drop in difficulty for Tokyo, but I don't think all of it was easy.

I wonder if coming back to Nintendo home consoles means they will do with the old games like they did with the sony ones when virtual cosole finally shows up.

Personally i never played Megami Tensei If… and its basically proto persona and i would be interested to see that get a digital rerelease.

>>13720724

P1 and 2 not the dating simulators.

>>13718354

I made the mistake of buying a wifi u for FExSMT and Fatal Frame 5. Nintendo ruined both. That's before we mention the localisation, and they have since vowed to step it up and censor things much earlier in development. Fuck Nintendo, I'm buying SMT SJ again when I find it pre owned. But fuck anything else. Even then it's what, 1 extra dungeon. I can ignore it.

I'm still salty about everything surrounding the wii u.

>>13721226

I swear americans get more fucked over every single year.

>>13721277

I'm Europoor.

We also got to enjoy the censorship carried out by NoA. I'm so glad I have Treehouse to defend my sensibilities. I mean an m rated game with suicide and murder is fine, but a bikini photo shoot is too much.

As for #Fe I don't even know where to start with that clusterfuck.

>>13721226

Wait you thought a crossover game would actually be good? Didn't they turn FExSMT into a idol game essentially?

>>13721487

That's my point.

It could have worked well, it could mix characters and include FE permadeath, movement grid with different units and weapon bonuses, and have units summon demon squads.

Instead it was an idol game. That then censored itself saying westerners wouldn't understand the idolshit.

>>13721586

censorship is censorship, apologist cuck.

>>13721603

i just find it really pathetic that people like you get mad about how a shitty scene got "censored" instead of how the game itself just plain isn't very good. no amounts of bikinis would have made the gamepad wagglan less retarded or made the story make more sense, but no, let's get mad about the idol's swimwear

>>13721542

But didn't they announce ahead of time what the game was going to be like via trailers and shit?

>>13721632

At first no, for a long time it was SMTxFire Emblem. It was only later that it became PersonaxNuEmblem now with Idols.

>>13721618

>Nintendo ruined both; that's before we mention the localization

>I'm finding it really pathetic that people like you get mad about-

You need to learn to read anon. Games being good are more important than censorship, but that doesn't make censorship an important issue either.

>>13721668

doesn't not make*

>>13721632

No, there was one trailer with characters shown from each franchise. No gameplay. Nothing. A long time passed and then the idolshit happened. Dipshits lost their shit because all the theories they had were crushed.

>>13721675

Shame I suppose, but I never hold any high hope for crossover games because most of them end up being garbage or gimmicky.

>>13721672

>doesn't not make

Unimportant.

>>13718524

Why does his arm grow the little freak?

>>13721586

>not nearly as cucked

but cucked nonetheless.

>>13718413

>4A

>worse than 4

Wrong. The gameplay is far improved and the story, while not great, isn't boring as fuck. It also has the best ending a nu-SMT game has had in a while.

>>13722000 (checked)

>ending

Is there only one?

I haven't played it so I wouldn't know

>>13719493

I miss Imagine. Heard that the private servers for it are out now but I have no idea how to access them.

>>13722237

There are a few, I assume he means the kill all your friends with the help of demon char ending.

>>13722307

>>13722326

Massacre is not a chaos ending. You extirpate YHVH's universe completely and create your own. That could be law, chaos, or neutral.

Dagda is fucking great.

I'm not buying a Switch for one fucking game, and I've already played Strange Journey so the only way I'd get the remake is if it adds some pretty serious new content.

>>13722492

Massacre is just dark-neutral, what happens to the new universe is up to you. Bonds is light-neutral but is pointless anyway as YHVH will keep coming back.

>>13722492

Though I will say, having to kill everyone was kind of stupid. Toki, for example, would not have went against you in that situation.

I was glad to kill fucking Nozomi though, holy shit what an abomination of a character.
