Atlus Shin Megami Tensei V - It's been hurting my OCD.

[Viata]

If that is Demifiend, then they releasing the remaster is pretty much preparing people to play SMTV.

 

[Bohrain]

So if that actually is Demifiend, is TDE ending canon?

To me it seems like a combination of Freedom and Demon endings.
Freedom in a sense that the can was kicked ahead. Demi-fiend turned the world back, but now maybe a decade after it has run out of juice and the vortex world happens again. But either Demi-fiend killed off the agent of Great Will for good or Lucifer did it himself and now the vortex cycle starts without the a big face who can kickstart a new world.

PS4 still only has 1 good exclusive title

Spider-Man and P5R. That's two.

Nah it's just Bloodborne really.

 

[karoliner]

One of these days Kaneko-sama will return and save the franchise.

 

[Delterius]

I'm glad they're bringing back mainline SMT. It's been 17 years since the main series has gotten a fully 3D game.

Never Forget

 

[Talby]

I'm still surprised that no one has created a porn equivalent of these games.

I'd say it's just TDE. 'Final' version of world has been formed but then Demi-Fiend rebelled against Luisa Ferre and now they represent differents factions/paths.

PS. I like how they didn't failed like they did with SMT x Fire Emblem that endend with some Sailor Moon abomination, there are no sing osf Persona influence either, we can safely expect trve core MegaTen for now.

We'll never see new Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei OVA.

Just watch Urotsukidoji, enough tentacles for everyone

Made me smirk, due to the anouncement a lot of new blood is coming to SMT III and IV and they are getting absolutely filtered by Minotaur, Medusa and Matador

 

[Hobo Elf]

Smirk is a great mechanic that I hope makes its way into SMT5.

Weaponised smugness is a good mechanic.
It is a bit too strong atm with the removal of weaknesses and the autocrits, but smirk triggering secondary effects is a really cool mechanic for the light and dark spell lines. They should probably change the weakness ignore to just a flat damage reduction to make it less frustrating to fight smirkers without Magaon. Maybe make annulling a weakness hit consume Smirk, it is just too much of a buttfuck to stare down a smirking superboss after your magaon user got oneshot by a crit.

That was my favorite part of the Smirk revamp in Apocalypse.

You know I played through IV and IV:A until the last dungeon and I never found out that any ailment removes smirk.
If they just made that a bit more obvious and had more demons/encounters designed to have nothing but ailment resistances the system would be great. Maybe make ailments hit 100% with some special effect like hama/mudo if enemies are weak to them.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Remember THAT trailer?



Demons with glowing eyes appearing from the dark just like in TDE, it was planned all along.

I'm all for status ailments (especially on bosses), but 100% is a bit too much.
Just tie ailment chance to luck to actually give people a reason to invest in something other than magic and agility.

Imagine all those dumb zoomers, that have bought Persona 5 en masse because it was a cool edgy thing, that now will buy SMTV and the Nocturne remake, because they think these are now the next cool anime edgy things, only to be ass raped en masse in the depth of the Amigdala Labyrinth. I am starting to imagine the screamings.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

'Wait, where is muh all-out attack?'

But seriously, you guys are exagerating, Nocturne is not that hard (even on hard).

I played 4, 4A and playing SJR right now , if i used ailments like 5 times in my playthoughts , it's a lot.. It doesn't seems worth to waste a slot for such moves that are 99% of time useless vs bosses and it isn't worth for random encounter.

Meanwhile, I finished SMT 1 just spamming charm bullets because it worked against any enemy, including bosses.

It's been a long time since I finish it I didn't even remember that. Still, I do remember raping a lot of bosses using charm bullet.

 

[Bohrain]

SMT I (and II I think?) are just charm bullets and spamming electric spells for all I know.

Nerve Bullets.
