I tried so hard to like SMTIV, but at a certain point getting my teeth kicked in so far they fly out my ass because the enemy got a lucky crit and wiped my team with no opportunity for me to stop it stops being fun and starts being an exercise in patience and I don’t play games to beat my head against a brick wall until I finally break through
Yeah I’m aware the difficulty is frontloaded and it’s maybe the easiest SMT, my point stands
I’ll eat my turkey sandwich if Persona 5 Royal doesn’t come to Switch in like September 2021.
At this point I’m absolutely convinced that at least a part of ATLUS’s fiscal strategy is to sell the same game to their fanbase over and over and over and over and over and did I mention over again by putting significant distance between what is likely the last time they bought/played the game.
So, September 2021 on Switch sounds about right to me.
Also, I’m gonna eat my turkey sandwich anyway but still.
Also also, I don’t actually have a turkey sandwich.
So my heart skipped a beat last night when I heard the news that Nocturne/Lucifers Call was coming back.
For the people who haven’t played it your in for a treat! Soundtrack is a killer as well.
I want that special edition. I missed out on the original special edition the first time it got released. Thankfully still have my Double Jump books guide on the game.
Getting nocturne on my ps4 or switch means i might finally finish it.
I started it multiple times, but always got bored of how incredibly aimless it is. I always puttered around trying to reach new areas and got annoyed by the high encounters rates. The music and mood only carried it so far for me.
My longest attempt got to the top of some tower where i beat up Ares or Thor? Can't quite remember, could be another war related god. They asked me to join them and I said no, and there was once again no indication whatsoever of what to do next.

Artwork deluge incoming, since V has developed quite the following:
I mean I'd never wear it in real life because I am the most boring person fashion wise, but for a video game character that shit looks fresh as hell.
I was about to say that I wish there was more stuff like that because men's fashion is just so boring and staid in general before I remembered I actually do have a t-shirt with a strong floral theme in the form of a Warframe shirt. A lot goes on on that shirt between the purple color, pink flowers, and techno-organic warframe with a big sci-fi sword.
It's not the kind of look for everyone though. What works on some can easily be too loud on others, not that that prevents the latter from still wearing it.
Having something bolder on an otherwise pretty conventional outfit is a good way to do it. The type of flower makes me curious given it's not a cherry blossom, lotus, rose, or other common symbolic flower. Looks kind of like a lily if a lily had 5 petals instead of 6.
The end of that trailer is a perfect way to segue into some kind of character customization stuff if they're going the demi-fiend route with things. And the mainline Megaten games are pretty blank slate protagonists anyways so it's a natural fit.
The only direct connection between the main line games is 1 to 2 or something, isn't it? 3, SJ, and 4 are all their own thing.
Not quite. In nocturne:
you get references to the church of gaia in the amala network, plus it's heavily implied that Hijiri either is, or is a reincarnation of Aleph, the MC of 2
I stopped playing Persona 4 little while back in favor of other games, largely due to how boring the mazes were.
I don't really mind random maps, but when every corridor looks like every other corridor, it gets really, really boring.

So someone was kind enough to rip the cutscene graphics for me from Nocturne, none other than the brilliant modder who did the fan-translation of Raidou Chronicles:
cj iwakuraThe Rhythm RegentBears The Name FreedomRegistered Userregular
Someone finally started translating the Raidou Kuzunoha manga(itself an adaptation of the Lonely Marebito LN), and uh, it lays on the shounen pretty thick...
But Raidou is pretty shounen to begin with, so hey.
I've been wanting to play the Raidou games for some time, which is why I bought the reprints from VGP. But the games go for like $100-200 now even for the reprints - well I guess I'm just never opening them then

I fucking love bowler hats but I could never get away with wearing them in real life.

Regardless, P5 was made on an internal engine and who knows what platforms that engine even supports.

Also leaving this here because it’s hype time.

Interesting, but it doesn't feel right to have it be him. I hope they keep it strictly its own thing like the previous games have (mostly) been.
My gut is telling me thats not him though. If it is, holy shit..Timmy got frickin jacked.

Also, the red glowing lines on his body don't look anything like the Demi-fiend's tattoos.
I'm guessing it's either a brand new demon or a redesign of, I dunno, Masakado.
Please god.
What's wrong with mazes?
// Switch: SW-5306-0651-6424 //
Let's rephrase: No more bullshit mazes with dumbass traps and teleporters that are just mean.

I don't want to be corralled into little stiff roads, have to go through subways, etc. Trying to navigate 4's map is a chore.
Assuming a good auto map.
Teleporter mazes are only allowed if the game tracks the teleporters for you (or you're inside a giant tree).

Not the first time he has shown up. Also there may to be some deeper links between SMT V and Nocturne?
Fiends confirmed to have VA at 33:00.
have they discussed if there are any changes besides VA/better graphics/Raidou?

Fuck no.
Tokyo in SMT 5 is gonna be like SMT 4 but Tokyo's layout is gonna change with every phase of the fucking moon this time.
So like 8 constantly shifting versions of SMT 4 Tokyo. Updates after every random battle which are 3x more frequent than Nocturne.
Occasionally there will be a crowd of slow walkers and it'll take 4 times as long to traverse the street.
When you move through an intersection there's a chance for a random encounter involving a Law demon citing you for jaywalking.
Sometimes a street just flat out will be shut down for pothole repairs or other roadwork.

We should start a new trend/game - least ideal version of the game. It's a fun thought exercise.
Which will be banned by YHWH in the next SMT game. NO THINKING
There's gonna be a Free DLC super easy difficulty released as well.

Make that a boss fight in Nocturne HD, pls.
But Raidou is pretty shounen to begin with, so hey.
