Is there any dev overlap between Atlus and Vanillaware? Are Vanillaware games considered megaten?
>>555285037
>>555285037they are considered as megaten as hundred witch is. aka no why would it be
>>555285037No, Atlus just publishes their games
>>555286553>>555286958I was just playing Unicorn Overlord and since Vanillaware obviously don't have their own general I was wondering if this place counted it.
>>555285037They help out.
Gabby!
>>555291152why does god allow his angels to troon out
>>555291268Because God is good.
>>555291268I don't know, ask Lucy
>>555291553at least he's a fallen angel
>>555291621True that
>>555291553
agrat pulverizes my dick
>>555294150with a pestle and mortar
Vanillaware games can be best described as "hype and aura moments but no actual quality: the game". Like seriously, people only dicksuck their games because of the artstyle and coomer fanservice. It's never about the gameplay.
>>555296165I've only played 13 Sentinels and UO and gameplay is not part of the reasons I like them so maybe true
>>555296165Dragons Crown is the best beat em up I have ever played shut your goddamn mouth.
I paid a lot for this Hairy Jack and I care for his well being.
I keep getting recommended youtube streams of woman playing SMT with like 11 viewers.>he thinks they are actually wom-No I checked. These are 100% biological woman playing Shin Megami Tensei on stream.
>>555298469SMT is what normies think as weebcore

>>555299253I'd rather not.
ixquic!
How do you feel about the older games having demons level capped? (reposting since nobody gave their opinion)
>>555303180demons being unable to level at all was interesting, made me fuse basically every other level because thats the only way they can get stronger, playing something like soul hackers or smt 1 where your party is a mix of static demons with static spell lists and humans that could level up and learn new spells was interesting and i wouldn't be opposed to seeing a new game use that system again and expand on it (basically what devil summoner and soul hackers was)
>>555303180I think it's a nice way of encouraging the player to recruit and fuse new demons since it gives a shorter shelf live on them compared to say Nocturne where you're encouraged to try levelling them up instead. Completely different feel to building your team.
>>555296165Odin Sphere L is one of the best games of all time
>browse thru all the 3ds texture packs>AI shit
>>555305247worst pasqal
>>555306357Yeah no shit. Were you asleep when ai upscaling became a thing? Most of those texture packs are older than chatgpt.
>>555306986what do you mean anon its 2016 persona 5 just came out
>>555307187Wow can't believe I have to wait a whole fucking year for it to come out in the west. The wait better be worth it.
>>555306969she mogs that stupid mutt in every conceivable way
>>555307468she'd better produce a good randomized demon when I fuse her with this slime

>>555311994Oh... ok... so I guess possible remaster confirmed then?
how 2 get megaten guyz?
>>555312350They had dogshit pins and acryllic standees for the 20th, and the games were on their "remasters wish shortlist" thing, so they're interested in doing something with it, I guess.
>>555311994Oh. His arms blades those were supposed to be bones?
>>555312363megaten gf*
>>555312437If Raidou of all older Atlus games got remastered, anthing is possible
reminder for those who forgot
>>555299178Anon.... you weren't supposed to reupload that image!
>>555313153How is Apocalypse higher than IV
>>555313209It's too late....
>>555313360Never underestimate Japanese shit taste.
Holy shit its bad
>>555313892I also think it's funny P2 is a duology there but they separate both IV.
Where's the love for Strange Journey?
>>555314246In what context?
>>555314426From the pollster
>>555314483The poll is from 2022 and SJR came out in 2018?
>>555311994>>555313153I genuinely hope that SMT IV+Apocalypse gets a Steam or GOG rerelease, remaster or whatever they decide to do. Digital Devil Saga too while we're at it. Mainly because I've heard IV has the highest demon roster out of all the games. If that's the case, how come Apocalypse has a lower number of demons? Which ones got cut out of Apocalypse that were in vanilla IV? Could you make a Nocturne style HD remaster of IV since their graphics look like downscaled Nocturne graphics? Or would they have to remake it from scratch to get it to the level of Nocturne HD or Raidou Remastered?
>>555318220>Which ones got cut out of Apocalypse that were in vanilla IV?All of the guest designs except for the couple Doi redrew.
>Jack Frost hits protag with hamaFUCK YOU YOU LITTLE FAGGOT
What the fuck was his problem?
>>555318220would be nice if all the games that are stuck on handhelds got a remaster/rerelease on PC
>>555320089Obligatoryhttps://youtu.be/vj_opFakhWI?t=1107
>>5553145523ds was already discontinued by 2020 so it's been stuck in a dead machine since then
What is the consensus on Katsura Hashino's contributions to SMT around these parts?
>>555319616he hates being touched
>>555325220Surprisingly the only person at Atlus to come up with game design people actually like. Without Press Turn and modern Persona this whole franchise would be worthless in the eyes of many.
>>555282628So begins the journey of Sergopnik Smokesquat
>>555313153This image is bullshit since we know Atlus plans to do nothing with Persona 1 and 2.
>>555326994not true, they plan on releasing acryllic standees and other merch for it every 5th anniversary ;^)
Will only play DDS when it's out on steam because it will 100% have its own DLC for farming exp and money
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tmC3Jqx3ws looking from this speedrun, it seems the best way to build your demons lineup earlier into the game is just to make them have all elements covered with buff/debuff if you have space for itjust bruteforce it with hitting weaknesses for press turn and hope the bosses don't instantly one shot you or your demons
>>555325220I will always appreciate Catherine
>>555326505Forneus is such a cutie and is such good friends with a cutie
Considering that the 3DS SMT games don't actually have any meaningful enhancements when played on Citra (like 60fps or actual HD textures that aren't just ugly AI upscaling), I think I might try my hand at buying an actual 3DS to play them.I'm thinking maybe of getting one of those New 3DS models. Not the XL version. That one is too big. Just the regular New 3DS.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Twx0b1hzHg
>>555333115
>>555282839>SMT game but YOU're the demon
>>555334748Let’s go
My goat isn't even washed, he is SOAKED.
>>555340602This isn't even a bad design. The issue is that the shading isn't very good. Fix that and it will look way better. Also it's still better than your average Doi drawing.
>>555342336Its a terrible design and you are coping hard. I was wondering what the robe was supposed to be designed after until I saw it was just a redraw of something the AI slopped out, which gave me my answer. The outfit is designed after literally nothing.There was no intent whatsoever.
>>555313360Apocalypse is based.You are some 15 year old punk punching God in the Face and becoming one of the most powerful beings in the Megaten verse.Flynn is kind of lame honestly since his endings dont have him being anything special.He is even the reincarnation of some nameless CDF dude.
>>555340602He's gotten worse at drawing feet, impressive
>>555342336What even is the point of defending this shitty design when Kaneko already made a better Apollo decades ago? And Doi's Finn completely mops the floor with Kaneko's version.
>>555285037Besides the fact that the girl reading a book in Odinsphere is literally Alice (my wife I creampie everyday) from megaten, no. There is no overlap.
Demon love isliving up in Heaven
>>555343583>And Doi's Finn completely mops the floor with Kaneko's version.NTA but no it doesn't. It looks like Flynn is dressed up in some outfit for Halloween.
Huh Minotaur felt easier.I beat 4 twice on normal and got filtered by him.This is reincarnation so the only demon I could bring was a buff/debuff focused Metatron in case as I was gonna play expert for the first time.One thing I had as an advantage was a DLC armor that gave me physical resist.But even so my demons didnt die to Labrys strike or Oni Kagura.
Now she was really hard.Killed my demons several times and got killed once.The armor also resists gun but her gun attack inflicts stun which seems like a 90% chance since it always stunned me.So if a demon or two die (She has 3 turns so very likely), you are almost basically stun locked.She was really difficult.I dont like that you cant fuse above your level like in any Megaten NG+ ever.So many wasted app points.Still being ages since I played 4 so its surprising to see how much different Apocalypse feels.Also Walter and Jonathan are so cool bros.Sad how they end up.
>>555353101you gonna take the advice from the other thread or what
So Persona 5 PC got hacked.When are the gacha demons gonna get ported?
>>555353523I could.
>>555354993Maneater just having a good time
>>555354993They've been ported for yearshttps://youtu.be/O5lIFdaqSTYI was making posts complaining that p5 got the dx2 models before SMTV did until VV actually got the demon mod The actual quality of the P5 mod is shit though and it looks like the guy doesn't actually know anything about SMT based on the movesets and levels of the various demons, most of them seem pretty dartboarded
>>555354993>persona 5I sleep
>>555355325>>555355347Im not asking ATLUS to let me play my fucking game.P5 PC is the best option so far.
>>555354993do we have a way to see all these models/animations
I'm just glad the one faggot who kept shilling that shitty VV mod finally stopped
I forget but did hiroko and aleph get released in dx2?
>>555361408Which mod?
>>555367654I think he means the daily demon mod for VV. It looked promising at first but very quickly became bloated with characters that have no right being there. The dev actually stopped posting official updates because they got pissy people were criticizing them for using gen ai lol. Maybe someone will do something similar but less retarded in the future.
>>555351426He's not talking about Flynn.He's talking about Finn McCumhail, Kaneko drew his own version for his AI game.
>>555368942AI? Why? All he had to do was port models. I don't get it.
>>555369592His ambition surpassed Dx2 eventually I guess. He added things like the robot archangels from IV which don't have official 3d models so he genned them. They look prettt janky in motion. He's Chinese so I guess shit like that doesn't bother those people.
>>555370052Well using AI over in china uses over 50% wind power and doesn't require a new nuclear plant every 6 months so it's not nearly as bad for him as it is over here. But I do feel it's unnecessary because why not just focus on tweaking the mod to have better balance and work with other mods like the hardmode one instead of constantly adding more models if you have even run out of Dx2 models to put in? Besides all the other models could just tweaks too so they aren't so janky.
Did we post about this yet? https://www.atlus.co.jp/news/36622/
>>555303180It force you to fuse away and recruit but it was badly implemented in SMT1&2 because humans were too strong and you would only summon demons at the very beginning when you're weak as shit or against a boss.And since they can't level up or learn new skills and cover their weakness, you immediatly know what demon is shit or not.And that's a fucking issue when 90% of the demon roster has dogshit skills and/or resistances.SMT1 with the press turn system wouldn't work for those reasons, or rather, it would work but most people would just do a human only run since it's the most efficient way to play.Now personally, I wouldn't like it since I like keeping my favorites around.
>>555303180I feel like the old games dont motivate you enough to use demons.Like in most games nowadays you have stuff like skills to learn, demon source to get, demon wisper to learn skills, demon analysis/loyalty, skills you want to pass a fusion result, etc to keep a demon even if they dont particularly do anything exceptional for you.Like I dont think I ever consciously decide to keep a demon in my party, would just fuse away so long as the resulting demon is strictly better.And I did use demons in my SMT 1&2 runs over cheesing with humanes like most anons did.
>>555371851I mean, figures are neat and all, but I'd rather see ports of those games. Though I guess this does mean something of the sort is in the works if they're making new merch for DDS. Kind of hope it's not one game at a time like the Raidou games, since DDS is a two-parter like Persona 2, and it's bad enough those games had such a confusing release back in the day.
>>555374270Kind of would be cool to see them bring having more human allies in the series. Just plain ordinary people who gain whatever powers the setting provides. Would certainly offer some interesting playthrough options than the usual "level your default party to 100" or "don't use demons at all" that have been the options for quite a while now.Of course, I get it's unlikely since the human characters are generally one-offs for each game, and will never get the brand appeal that the demons have (or the double exposure they get being Personas)
>>555318470Okay, good to know. >>555320089Agreed. >>555321005Hope Foul Energy reviews some other SMT games in future videos.
Raidou 1 Angel> Nocturne Angel
>>555393974based
Sometimes I look back on the times we joked about V never coming out and all the theory crafting after the first few trailers.>the flower motiff>shekinah glory>aogami's silhouette is an adult demi-fiendFeels like it was yesterday and an eternity ago simultaneously.
>>555368942Its still getting updates, hes just not posting them to gamebananna anymore
time for insaniax beelzebub and his worst runback in the game.
that's new
>>555400927Oh neatI looked up what shinoma was, its a deep cut to nasu's race in giten
>dekaja>dekunda>death flies lol 600 damageso a bunch of death null/repels on demons from vanilla was removed which restricts the pool of demons you can even use and now life surge is required to avoid a wipe. time to grind cash so I can re-fuse life surge on my whole party.
>>555401701Is tetraja no longer viable?
>>555402513not sure, didn't have a chance to test. it's probably unchanged, but according to the changelog tetraja didn't work against stinger at one point and I'm not in a mood to test it.
>>555402513>>555402758also I did 9kish damage and he moved to phase 2 and started casting it every turn. not sure if I'm unlucky or if that's not intentional.
>>555380783>the human characters are generally one-offs for each game, and will never get the brand appeal that the demons haveThe joke is that the majority of the SMT merch is them.Any demon that is not called Jack Frost or Pixie doesn't have shit.
>>555404252*Is about them
>>555404252Yea, but isn't most of that just for the MCs and maybe one or two key characters? Can't imagine there being merch for the glasses chick from SMTV, not when there's many more popular glasses girls in the SMT/Persona franchise like Futaba who has both a more memorable design and has way more going on for her character.
>>555303180it's fine. i prefer demons having clear limits to their utility over the limitless customization and interchangeability they have in the later games.
>>555407448Would be fun to see there be secrets you could find by taking a scrub demon and Pokemon mastering them to the height of their potential. Not necessarily have there be entire storylines locked to such a thing, but unique evolutions like high pixie and maybe some special interactions or fusions on possible by taking something like a slime being maxed out and given heavy-hitting moves. That way, there's more of an encouragement than just "yea, I can take this trash and carry through the whole game"
>>555408801I don't think that should be encouraged. They give you the option if you REALLY want that lvl 99 Mermaid but actually incentivizing you to do so is a bad idea. The process would be grindy and make you interact less with one of the primary gameplay loops which is fusion. And that's not even touching on the lore implications that demons really aren't supposed to change in power level.
>>555409976I don't mean it like it's the only way to 100% the game, just to give some incentive to experiment with playing the game instead of just the usual routine of "collect trash, get preferred skills, grind trash into resource/fusion potential; rinse and repeat"The games already have some special treats for having some demons interact and the like, but it's mostly kept to the really popular ones or the memes ones. As for the lore stuff, they could probably find some fun ideas that would work within the confines and not break anything. The main point is to just encourage some players to more actively go out of their comfort zone and having some extra replay value. With a lot of these games, and RPGs in general, it can be tough to want to do more than one or two play throughs if you already see everything there is through a blind run.
>>555410509The most I'd accept is something like the divine race evolving into each other from Angel to Cherub. As soon as you dangle a reward in my face for taking an early game demon to end game is when I'm going to start having some problems. I am vehemently against any gameplay decisions that disincentivize constantly changing your team in these game. Pokefags that want to carry their waifu to the finish line can pound sand up their ass. Atlus was nice enough to let those people accomplish that goal at all but they should NEVER be rewarded for it.
>>555412621I would say have it work for all demons that have variations or have been known to change forms canonically in the series. Obviously can't be all across the board since there's like what, 400-500 demons in the entire franchise? Would definitely be too much even for flavor text option/scenarios. But having more than just a handful of demons with unique results would probably help get people to try playing with demons they might have written off, provided it's at least something worthwhile and not just a tic off the trophy list or an obnoxious way to get 100% completion in the compendium list.
>>555401701>time to grind cash so I can re-fuse life surge on my whole party.As someone who has fought Insaniax Kagatsuchi you are going to want Life Surge on all your demons anyway. With max buffs and debuffs light of kagatsuchi deletes anything with less than 600 HP.
>>555415371which one is harder, hardtype or insaniax
>>555415995I don't really remember. I played hardtype years ago and insaniax rather recently. I do remember the HP pools in hardtype being bloated to shit so the fights were more wars of attrition. The fight length in Insanaix is just right but the damage can also be rather explosive sometimes. Difficulty aside I respect Zombero for what he did a decade ago but Insaniax fully replaces hardtype for me. The extra boss fights and demons alone make it better.
how are you supposed to replenish your MP in IV? it's like any encounter you have immediately wipes half of your MP bar like first few hours into the game
>>555418698
>>555418698I don't remember having an issue with mp at all past the first couple hours.
does pierce work against noah or i have to build an additional magic lineup?
>>555425428It works on almighty in vanilla. pierce doesn't work on repel which is what his resistances are except almighty which he is only strong against.
>>555425552Freikugel and Stinger time it is.
Early SMT1 really makes you feel like you're messing with some arcane shit when summoning demons. You barely have the money and mag to summon and keep them out, so you're mainly just using the 3 heroes doing piddling damage, then you hit a point where they're just not enough, so you summon a demon and suddenly he's hitting enemies for 5 times the damage you and your friends are doing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4N8SAGb0Rg safety difficulty is actually hilarious, might as well just play casual if you don't want to die easily
>>555429037helps when the game lets you use a level 40 demon for a portion where everything is around level 10
>A company releases a high quality open world-like JRPG Your average western SMT fag: "This looks like fucking slop.

>>555435452>here's your smt killer bro
>>555435452CH release their games on steam after some time.It's often a full year but it can be faster if they think it will sell well or longer if they think it will bomb.t. a CH slop enjoyer
>>555441267i didn't really develop Devil Summoner archetype because you only got to unlock that like halfway into the game and you could only unlock that after you mastered Summoner archetype and reached level 10 of Magic Seeker. and by that point i was already following this template on how to cheese bosses heh.

>>555441662We will never get another goated year like 2024 again.
for me, Metaphor 2 is pretty realistic to appear in their pipeline mostly because:1. it was a decent success2. they designed all the monsters from zero, I don't think they'll just get abandoned just from 1 game alone. you know they want to reuse its assets one day.
>>555442034Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Metaphor creatures in mainline SMT games.

>>555473554Why can't they hire Kaneko to do the arts? Hell even Doi is like hundred times better than this fucking hack
>>555473554It’s worse-it is supposed to be college persona with a western artist having drew up the characters This is gonna be the Ronde of the current generation where any and all pre orders will be cancelled by the first look of the game

>>555480501>generic Mc Guy MCVkun >elegant class president girlTao>sports girlYoko>jock guyYuzuru>smart harry potter reject nerdDazai>oversized sweatshirt shy girlMiyazu
>>555480946Its pretty damn impressive that the original game had 2D prerendered backgrounds and 3D models, and the remake has 3D backgrounds and 3D models, on all levels arguably more consistent... and yet somehow the models look far more out of place and not cogent with the scene in the remake than they did in the original.I guess thats where talent and good art direction comes in, or in the case of the remake, DOESN'T come in.
>>555481617>jock guyYuzuru >smart Harry Potter reject nerdDazai Uhh.. you got it backwards anon.
>>555481564I dunno but an SMT CRPG would be cool
>>555481617>Vkun>generic Mc guyHe's too feminine. Yuzuru is the generic MC guy but he was made into a side character instead. He even has a dog demon and a traditional comp. >Tao>sports girlHe's not a tomboy or spunky at all. Instead she's elegant and overly sensitive.>Dazai>shylmao, he's a fucking youtuber.

>>555482127>I don't know a game where you can spam ailments to win while nerfing buffs to the point they're uselessThat's such a weird complain to have when it's the opposite in 99% of JRPG.

>>555482127I don't know what game you're talking about. Buffs remain important in VV all the way to elite virtual trainers. Otherwise, those people on YouTube doing LV999 EVT runs wouldn't bother keeping up their stats to +2 and enemy stats down to -2 throughout a fight. You try chipping away at Tehom's literal 500,000 HP when you fight her LV999 version and tell me buffs don't matter. Or hell, just her regular LV150 Godborn version and tell me buffs don't matter. Ailments, while good, are nowhere near as strong as you think they are. You can do some interesting Accursed Poison setups to get demons like Eisheth to do a metric ton of damage, but if you're talking strictly the strongest possible setups to burst down superbosses, it's still the usual Strategize (like Succession with solo Nahobino, Gogmagog's Rampage/Figment Slash spam, Masakado's almighty attack spam, etc.), Adversity (with Arioch) and Dance setups (with Pandemonic Feast and Fickle Personality demons).

>>555484604>where he put his self-insert into the movie as one of the characters?I know about the rest but did he seriously fucking do this kek
>>555485598Good fucking god, how the fuck does that guy keep getting hired by Japanese companies? In all the years he's worked on Japanese projects, I've never seen him produce any memorable or even passable character design.Everything he designs is so uninspired. Plus his artstyle looks so sterile. It almost looks like AIslop before AIslop was a thing.Mind you, I'm not surprised that he's so shit. He spent many years prior to his fame in Japan getting repeatedly caught plagiarizing and shamelessly tracing, so the man not having a single creative bone in his body is to be expected. I'm convinced that his ability to land these jobs has more to do with having good connections and the ability to sell himself (like some sociopathic CEO trying to convince shareholders that he somehow deserves to be paid 400 times higher than the company's workers this year compared to the previous year's 300 times higher salary) than having actual talent.

>>555480309>They look like weird animefied western porn charactersI hate that so much. Even more so than ugly western comic book artstyles. You can always immediately tell with 100% certainty that a piece of fanart of a female anime character was done by a western artist when they give her a big nose, bimbo lips and a masculine jawline. It's such a vulgar hybrid.
>>555486480>>555486816no fucking way lmao, I'm glad I never watched the moviehe always felt extremely egocentric even back on his DA days so this doesn't surprise me at all>>555486284I honestly don't know either. Most of his "career" was always doing shitty pinups and if you look at his instagram/twitter right now, it's literally still the same short haired girl traced over some model's photo. Like look at this and tell me it's not traced. Not just traced but also uninspired (these are meant to be two different girls).He started as a Soejima copycat artist, but has never evolved his art whatsoever unlike Soejima
He's still a better artist than Doi.
>anons keep calling this IIya guy a western artist >look the guy up>he's fucking russian If he ain't from the western hemisphere he ain't a western artist, simple as.
>>555473554These designs look like something you'd see from a westerner imitating an anime style, incredible
>>555473554Its kind of crushing to know that not a SINGLE one of the old guard (kaneko, cozy, tadashi) that have moved on to make their own projects even remotely understand the appeal of the insanely influential beloved titles they made that kickstarted massive franchises. That or they just have no desire to continue making anything with that appeal and instead just want to make the most generic shit imaginable.Either route is upsetting
>>555476883It's not like modern Kaneko would be much better, you'd just be paying him to badly redraw AI slop. Might as well just skip the middleman entirely in that case and train an AI on his art style
>>555489418A common theme in recent years is a "legendary" developer leaving their original company and then their first project after leaving is mediocre at best and shit at worst. It just drives in that these games are made by a team that complements and keeps each other in check and we shouldn't be giving all the credit to one or two people.
>>555489418>tadashiWhy are you dragging him when he's only a freelance writer lmal
I genuinely think the modern gaming industry is just too overcorporatised to continue getting games with the same eclectic energy as older megaten. They cared more about making super self indulgent interesting games back in the day over making something that aligns enough with current industry trends to hopefully make a profit, to the extent it put them in jeopardy multiple times. Be honest, you just cannot imagine a modern megaten where multiple members of the cast were basically just traces of all the idols/actresses the dev team currently really want to smash
>>555490716
>>555490716Basically this, profit over freedom to create killed AAA. Modern Atlus still has a little bit of the old soul left in mainline but it doesn't push the envelope like it used to. Indie used to be more open for experimentation, and in some ways it still is, but as more publishers look to get a slice of the pie in the indie market, games over there are also losing their soul. Expect it to only get worse as fewer and fewer people bother buying game at all.
>>555475258what would you say makes persona popular?i think the dating is a big part of it. the rest is relatable themes/characters, good music, and decent enough gameplay. the artstyle also helped p5 a lot.
>>555490716I think the ease of infomation hurt design for IPs like megaten. A lot of the time devs came from walks of life where they only knew of stuff from limited tvs shows, magazines, books, etc. Now anyone can learn of just about anything in seconds, which you think would expand creativity but it also tends to skew towards what is trendy
>>555493763Soejima's artstyle is actually aesthetically pleasing to look at. There's an uniformity in Persona's designs that, despite all characters wearing the same 'templated' school uniform deep down, they have unique characteristics that defines them from each other BUT NOT TOO MUCH that they stick out like a sore thumb over being overdesigned.The gameplay loop in persona is simple but effective, it can be difficult when it tries to and it's never "too" easy. Every character having a static persona/specific party member archetype allows for variation in team formation. It's not much, but it does work. The music is also a good balance of jpop/vocals and actual jrpg music, not going too far into leaning into the jpop esque vocals (like how caligula's gimmick was using a bunch of vocaloid producers)Also, Kaneko's designs are iconic too even if he's long abandoned the franchise by now.
Maybe they were right...
>>555473554I think it's finally time to admit that Tadashi and Cozy failed their way upward and it was solely Kaneko that was tard wrangling them all those years ago
>>555489418Kaneko mightve swallowed the AI slop pill, but generic is the last thing I would call his shitty mobile game. It's just not very good.
>>555495813Its a rougelike deck builder, short of being a soulslike or a survivors type game it couldn't be a more generic choice for genre The dungeon crawling is automatic and deemphasised almost entirely to the extend of basically just being "press left or right" sometimes
Am I retarded casual or Tokyo in IV is confusing to navigate? I still prefer this kind of design over quest markers though.
>>555490892>>555490716is short brown haired tomboy really that rare in japan
>>555497309Not particularly, it was just tadashi's crush
>>555497286it's confusing to navigate
>>555497286It's confusing but you're also a casualry if you complain about it
>>555499443oh fug is flowder fields :DDDDD
>>555499443
Its common knowledge that the vast majority of the P1 and P2 casts are based on real people (Tamaki and maki's being probably the most well known)But it starts get me wondering and conspiracy theorizing if the SNES games casts and devil summoner games were too and they just never revealed their muses

Basically, add some swordplay and gunplay to mainline SMT.

>>555575441with or without the ai feature

who was behind this??? I SHALL COMMISSION ALICE TOO
>>555575441I just can't get over how far his standards have fallenLike really? He looked at these enemies and thought "yeah, this is okay and warrants attaching my name to"?If this version isn't even doing on the go generation whats even the excuse for the generic slop artstyle remaining?
There comes a point when Kaneko's upper lips become too dark and resemble facial hair. Pic related.Also, what do you all think of this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilCC5z5sf74
This total fucking clown is selling a $1000 special edition of the game tooJesus christ man WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS MAN, THE WORMS GOT INTO HIS FUCKING BRAIN SO BAD
>>555576974Imagine even pretending to believe for even one second that the dude on the right is a better looking design than Koshimizu.
>>555581976I like all the designs on this cover art, but I do agree that their in-game renders look like ass. I blame the horrendous art direction that makes the creature designs clash with everything else on screen. And also because (as you pointed out earlier) it makes the demons look like AIslop, like that pale vampire girl with the pink lingerie. Then again, that demon girl in particular probably is actual AIslop, because I vaguely remember something about Kaneko actually used AI when designing this game back when it was on Steam.
>>555581802Is this still a gacha game
>>555581976Ok, but what if the special edition came with a visit from Kaneko himself
>>555581976I told you faggots he was fucking washed
>>555582518this is an anonymous board retard
>>555582857Oh yeah?
I need one of you brave young men to assassinate Kazuma Kaneko. It may sound harsh, but its for the best. We can't allow him to tarnish his legacy any longer. If he passes away at least people will be inclined to focus more on his older more enriching works out of courtesy and respect for the deceased, but the longer he continues to ""live"" like this, if this can even be called living, the longer he will have to contaminate his reputation. We cannot let this kazuma kaneko overwrite the good Kazuma Kaneko, which is what will happen if we allow him to keep excreting this shit any longer.
>>555583045It's too late now lmao
>>555581976Games are made by teams of designers who provide checks and balances on one another. In Kaneko's case, it's clear that his team members at Atlus were very responsible in whatever way (we don't know since none of us work at Atlus) that enabled him to be the best artist he could possibly be. Tsukuyomi perhaps could have been great if it was an Atlus project and Kaneko had his old team members with him to both keep him in line and provide support in other aspects of the game beyond demon design.This is no different than Tomonobu Itagaki's situation. No one is going to deny that he's gifted, but since he left Team Ninja he produced absolutely nothing of value (he even fell for the NFT meme a few years prior to his death in a project that amounted to nothing). It's clear that the Team Ninja members who stayed behind were the ones tardwrangling Itagaki.
>>555583045you shouldn't joke about assassinating real people unless you want a visit from the feds

Its one thing to be "interested" in AI, I don't think thats inherently evil or bad regardless of all the copyright stealing stuff (If I cared I wouldn't play mods or fangames that also steal content in different ways)But its the fact that the AI works in his game just so obviously, so blatantly, look like complete and utter shit and he just thinks its okay and is happily plastering his name on it thats actually drilling up my ass and blasting me hard They do not look goodHow does he think they do?

What do you think came first?Do you think kaneko lost his mind because he got fired by atlus?Or do you think they fired him because he was beginning to lose his mind?Obviously the games were still good while he was there but maybe behind the scenes he was starting to get an ego and be unmanageable or something
>>555581976money for kaneko for designing the best and sexiest alice in media history
>>555575441>“As generative AI emerged, I had a desire as an artist to create something with this new technology in a similar way when digital art evolved from pen and paper,” said Kazuma Kaneko in a press release. “As this desire took shape we created and released Tsukuyomi: the Divine Hunter which featured an AI trained on my art where players could create unique cards by playing the game. Through the AI, it felt as if I could connect with everyone around the world and wondered if we could use these cards to create something new. The result is Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi, a special game born from the connection between you all and myself through AI.”This is physically painful to read. It's like those Square Enix employees fervently talking about blockchain the 1 year anyone cared about that
>>555601441here's your Alice bro
>>555601492>AI trained on my artIts the lying that really infuriates me, do they think we're mentally handicapped and can't see things with our fucking EYES Yeah dude this was DEFINITELY trained on your art bro
>>555601720Damn anon you beat me to it, I was about to quote that exact part and post that exact thing. If I recall, even the character cards still pull from the general pool of sloppa (so you have demon cards that look like Elsa)

>>555601663Wow... thanks kaneko...
>>555601492>in a similar way when digital art evolved from pen and paperKaneko here's the thing, it's not the fucking same. Digital art still uses actual input from an user DRAWING on a tablet or a device that puts those drawings on a fucking computer. It's not the same fucking thing.>It's like those Square Enix employees fervently talking about blockchain We avoided Kaneko selling his arts as NFTs during that period because i'm 100% sure he would've started to do that

>>555605135I completely erased this from memory then, but I was right he absolutely would be the type to do NFTs (and he did).>Jobtribes doesn't even exist anymore
>>555591016>absolutely rancid and garish shading that gives the character a neon glow>even if it wasn't neon-tinged, the colors just don't harmonize well with each other at all (dark purple, pink, white, grey, very dark green and blue)>the face is its own horror story (it's yet another westerner pitifully trying to blending anime with western aesthetics in a way that just makes the face look so uncanny and creepy, and that makes him look dysgenic)Everything about this is just so wrong.And why does he have like a billion piercings on his ear? Is he supposed to be some kind of a delinquent? If so, are all the other characters of this game delinquents? I ask this because they all have ear piercings. If not, then what is the purpose of all these piercings? Everything a character wears should tell you something about their personality and temperament, especially in a school/academy setting JRPG like Villion Code. That's just basic character design language. When you watch an anime set in a school or play a JRPG set in a school, you take one look at the characters and can immediately tell who is the bookworm, the tech geek, the reliable sidekick, the athlete, the bully, the school beauty, the student council president, etc. You can also immediately tell who is the outgoing one, who is the shy one, who is the cold/aloof one and so on. That's the sign of good character design language. Meanwhile, nothing about any of the character designs here >>555538370 communicate anything immediately apparent about what the characters are like.
>>555606402in general artists adapted to new style and it's reminiscent to western, everything pre-2010 is fucking goneso if you love oldnime or just old artistic style it's gone and you will have to pay extra to bring in back.
>>555607119No, that's alway's been Ilya's artstyle, even back in the 2010s. He just put anime eyes on irl pinup models pictures that he traced over.He sucks at character design because he literally only draws 1 type of girl over and over

>>555612642ALLLLLLLLLLLICE GET IN SMT3
>>555579561No in reality Aogami won the MC bowl since the original release and Yoko only cares about her revenge. That's what the game was always about. That image is just a le funny meme because of how some people see the chaos end.
my favorite megaten girl is probably hitomi
>>555616587Good taste
This bitch needs to put her nylon feet in my face like yesterday
>>555601720>>555601836this. if the designs were only based on kaneko's art, i'd be able to appreciate it. but they used generic slop too and disney properties.
>>555616682There is a guy on pixiv that makes tons of Yoko feet pics with her model.
>>555473554This is what we all deserve for not buying Folklore.
>>555622654this game needs a port
>>555622654"Should have bought this Sonic game if you wanted more Chrono Trigger" ahhh post
Reminder that the people who are complaining about Kaneko using AI are either Doifags or Persona fags. Stand strong, my OG SMT brethren.
Why is SMT clothing merch so lazy? Just the stock image with the demon name slapped on multiple times and call it a day
>>555625884That's just an Atlus USA general problem, not SMT exclusive
>>555625884Atlus USA has not been able to do good merch unless they are doing a collaboration or metaphor keychains for whatever reason.
>>555625884Because no one bought the higher effort stuff.
>Higher effort>Traced artwork
>>555630837Ronde moment
>>555602663they're just light redraws of AI generated designs. no idea who that one "is" and not much interest in guessing

gun to your head, you can only survive if you buy either villion:code or kanekoslop and finish it.
>>555622654Man, that game was a trip>>555622770Seriously.
>>555637424isn't kanekoslop a roguelike? shouldn't take too long to finish
>>555637424art direction alone makes this easy, kaneko's game has new kaneko art
>>555629426prove it was traced
>>555600932I wish Skeb allowed for Paypal in general.>>555637424Villion code would be easier to beat, the phone game is a gacha which would drain my money even though I really enjoyed it when I played.
Word on the streets says the Nintendo direct on February could be a partner direct, seems like a good place to drop a switch 2 upgrade pack for SMT VV.
>>555642680Don't give me hope that 2026 will somehow be a salvageable year.
>>555642680>Word on the streets says the Nintendo direct on February could be a partner direct, seems like a good place to drop a switch 2 upgrade pack for SMT VV.i cut open a goat to watch how its guts spilled out and it told me the switch 2 upgrade pack isn't happening, which a human-headed cow confirmed to me before dying

Playing IV, should Kushinada-Hime get mediarama or healing knowhow? Flynn also has mediarama.
>>555611127Doi would never take advantage of our innate gullibility.
>>555635703That plush they tried to sell later didn't even have a fraction of Beano's power.
>>555575441>>555581976I've played a bit of it, but the art style would've been so much better if Kaneko put actual effort in designing the demons himself instead of basedjaking about AI like a total boomer. But that might be too much to ask if he's getting too old to draw. >>555589691This is a cool design, but I hate how you can't even fuse him. Nor even Sophia, Amitabha, Tiamat, Tehom or Marduk for that matter. Hopefully those gods become playable demons in the form of one final DLC for SMTVV or become available for fusion in a future SMT game.

as it stands i can actually just go til the end of the story of SMTVV, but i'm still dicking around getting mimans and abscess. shit's hard yo

If a game made by AI looks bad people whos sole purpose is to defend AI crawl out from the woodworks to explain how this technology is the future so you're just woke or something for not liking itIf Sonic 06 were made by AI and released today it would suddenly have a million shooters, not because it looks good, but simply because it was made by AI which is automatically a good thing obviously, nothing else like actual aesthetics or quality matters close your eyes you cattle eat the digital bugs

>>555680470Kaneko already sank to rock bottom with the nfts.
>>555665869Marduk isn't a badguy. The point is he was just another Beano/Susano'O who kind of fucked up trying to do something good (protect the world from Tiamat's revenge). YHVH then proceeded to abuse the shit out of his fuck up to torture everyone
I just heard about Kaneko. I'm sorry.

Did anyone even play Tsukuyomi's mobile version? What is it even about? It honestly doesn't surprise me it EOS'd so quickly
Doi will leave Atlus this year and will resurface in 2030 working on a chatbot that can generate explicit pictures in his art style.
What went wrong?
>>555692267NOOOO, WHY DOES IT KEEP HAPPENINGDon't worry by 2030 we'll all be living in the nuclear holocaust.
>>555692753Caligula was so mid, I dropped it after 10 hours.
>>555692753They all want to be persona (except kaneko, whatever the fuck tsukuyomi is) but have less the budget and less the inspiration for it
>>555692753>top twopeople that never worked on P5 desperate to be P5 while also being salty over its existence >varletwould be a different game from the ground up if monark sold better >tsukuyomi greed
Why did Kaneko need to put himself in the fucking game though. I've never seen anything so conceded. Was he always his egotistical he always seemed to put himself last over others how he always talked about giving new blood at Atlus a chance and shit like that. Now this.
>>555693957Might just be some attempt at marketing or strengthening his own brand since he isn't with Atlus anymore. He drew himself for that NFT game as well.
>>555693957He's reaching levels of narcissism so high that it would make Kojima blush.
>>555693957They always used to put themselves in the games, his previous self insert was the demon painter in the velvet room. P2 has a self insert of almost every important member of the atlus team at the time, shirashi, soejima, tadashi, kaneko, I think cozy was the only one missingLets be honest simply having yourself in the game is modest compared to tadashi putting himself in the game, designing another character after his favourite irl idol crush, and then making his self named self insert DATE that character based off his irl idol crush
>>555694465tadashi was so based that they had to write him out of eternal punishment
>>555694465I think there's a difference from making yourself an NPC that doesn't serve much purpose in the game vs using your self-insert full front and center for the advertising of the game rather than any characters of the game's own MC (which tsukuyomi has that blue haired raidou uniform guy) but everything surrounding the game as kaneko's self-insert as the most important character like this >>555692753 concept art.This would be the equivalent of P2's entire promotion being centered on Tadashi and never any other characters, always putting Tadashi's self-insert on everything, and barely touching on the plot.
>>555694893Yeah thats totally fair, I wasn't really considering the whole face of marketing angle
>>555668847Are you talking about original vanilla 5? If so, yeah, Idun was pretty much objectively the best healer thanks to Golden Apple. She's still a solid choice for Vengeance, but the nerf to Golden Apple (going from "moderate" to "slight" HP recovery) puts her behind Konohana Sakuya and Demeter in terms of efficiency. Her innate skill (Demonic Mediation) is also ass for superbosses or for endgame in general.
What did he mean by this?
>>555696718If only it was a way to connect players and wasn't just a data center shitting out common denominators.
>>555696137Oh, and I forgot to add:Idun being a member of the Megami race means that she has negative synergy with Beelzebub, the best debuffer and dark magic user in the game, due to his Innate skill not working if there are any Herald, Megami, Femme, or Lady demons. Meanwhile, Konohana Sakuya is a member of the Kunitsu race, so her presence in a party doesn't deactivate Beelzebub's innate skill.
>>555655697healing knowhow, she can whisper to flynn
Imagine.
>>555704784If... what?
>>555705121Ronde
>>555696718I'm not one of those people who used to think Kaneko was just some poor old man that was getting swept by greedy crypto bros but I think he quite doesn't have the right idea of what GenAI is.He seems to believe that GenAI works as a tool of which you can submit your own drawings and it generates something for you, based on your own style and it makes workflow easier for less effort. On theory, this is possible with trained models but it's not quite /only/ your art, it still has a preestablished 'global' training, call it it's own collective unconscious.There's been enough proof in the demon generation and card generation that it doesn't completely 100% pull from someone's artstyle entirely, so I don't know what is he seeing in AI that he keeps tripleing down on it

>>555711007>What curse does Atlus place upon their staff that they make them completely unable to do anything noteworthy once they leave the company?Maybe they were just hacks, and Atlus was the one whipping them into shape.

>>555714732Yes, Alice is a MP-type demon in IV, she doesn't need Mana Surge.You'll want someone with Doping or even give her Life Gain because her HP are really low but if you can manage, Concentrate is very good.
>>555714732>Any other suggestionsfuse her into a higher level demon

Also 100k yen is considered successful for a low budget game lmao >Satomi keeps getting tossed around the shittiest low budget slop companies possible and has barely gotten any breakthrough hit whatsoeverI don't think he cares and besides, nobody ever credits the writers. It's always the director that gets all the praise/hate(Look at Yoko Taro or Kamiya games for example). Also it sounds like you want him to join some company like Sega or Capcom lol>Cozy was MIA for several years after Folklore and Coded Soul flopped hard and his own company had to dissolve and now is back only to make notpersona slopSaying that is funny when he's the literal creator of the Persona series. It's like complaining about a asian chief making sashimi when he used to make sushi back in the day
>>555725025You know what I mean when I say notpersonaslop, it's yet again one of those shitty games into the pile like Monark and Varlet that try to be Persona and fail miserably. Being the creator of Persona won't save the game from being total ass dogshit.>Also 100k yen is considered successful for a low budget game lmaoHe's literally charging people 100k yen for a LE box of the game that only meaningfully has some shitty card art ( that will be AI generated) being signed by him and some shitty ring, no way in hell that's worth near 100k yen.If the game was popular in japan, then why did it EOS in basically barely a year?
>>555625884If they're gonna be lazy I wish they'd at least sell shirts with key art from each game on them. Having a shirt with picrel on it would be sick

do you perfer when spells can have additional effects like how zio and bufu can shock and freeze in some games or when they don't?
>>555740243Elements having no difference between eachother than color is bad game design simple as. I don't know why they didn't keep going with p5's actual good idea of technical hits and shit. But in SMTV we are back to there being 0 difference between Fire, Ice, Force, and Elec.
>>555740974I see that someone did not play SMT1. Now that was bad game design.
>>555745969>this game did it poorly therefore elements should be interchangeableInteresting but flawed logic.
>>555740243fire and force/wind tend to get the short end of the stick but it's more interesting when at least some of them do something
>Soul Hackers 2 pseudo cracked (for AMD only)>Not a single mention of itKek.
>>555750986I'm just going to keep pretending that game doesn't exist.
>>555750986is the crack as fucked as nocturne's was?
>>555752248No idea, I don't have an AMD CPU so I can't try it.
>>555740243>>555740974On the subject of elements, why didn't Atlus going for the standard fantasy classical elements of Fire, Air, Earth and Water? Ice makes sense as a replacement for water because its just frozen water. Force is just their own alternate name for essentially wind/air. But why replace earth with electricity? Either way, would love to see non-standard elements like Psychokinesis, Gravity and Nuclear show up as elements moe often. Hell, even traditional Water and Earth since they exist in Persona 1+2 and Digital Devil Saga 1+2.
>>555753489Fire, ice, and lightning, are like the holy trinity of rpg magic. The amount of games that use water and earth are few and far between.

>>555756320What could a decent SMT fanfic even be? Make mt3 a thing? Rewrite iv to include more info about the demonic gene?
>>555756554It kind of writes itself. I would recommend steering away from the actual plots of the games and just do a post apocalyptic thriller with a generic guy as the MC. The world of IV would be perfect for it. The focus should be on how the characters react to the world around them and which demons do they form connections with.

Cars bad.
>>555765162the first one was good
>>555575441Happy for more new Kaneko art but why the fuck does this still use shitty AI assets?I'm convinced it's to make his art look better. Look at how here >>555581334 there's only his art on the player's side and only AI slop on the enemy's side.
>called the name of his game 'Kazuma Kaneko's Tsukuyomi' with himself in the middle of the game cover>tweeted 'the legend is back' for his 'new' game announcementOnly a handful of people can match this level of conceit
>>555766779saved
why would legeneko do this
>>555766480>I'm convinced it's to make his art look betterin-universe the generated cards are made by a false god while the real cards are by a famous artist who disappeared from the face of the earth. very subtle
>>555761512>>555761697>>555764239This is basically saying "You may be Stalin, but at least you're not as bad like Hitler"
>>555767778I'd rather play Kaneko's self-fellating AI slop than touch any game drawn by Ilya Kushinov or whatver his name was. Some of the worst JRPG art I have seen in a while.
>>555753489persona 2 kinda does this, it has agi, garu, an earth element and a water element. zan is still in the game but under the almighty element, and ice and lightning exist as their own elements with a chance to stun seperate from the fusion spell mingling that the first four do.
>>555768930the game(s) suffer from mobs having too few resistances though, I'm playing through EP right now and you can pick one elemental fusion spell to focus on and nuke 95% of the encounters in the game, those 5% of the time are when you encounter a magican demon who nulls every element and is weak to phys, who are just obnoxious to deal with
Old ilya had some soul in him when he was a wannabe soejima imitator, and you'd think that maybe after a decade of gaining popularity over copying soejima's artstyle maybe he'd learn how to do character designs by following his footsteps but nope.He really was just the sloppa maker of it's time, before sloppa was a thing
>>555768353>the guy who's designs I subjectively don't like is just as bad as this guy committing scumfuckery and putting out garbage productsNo
>>555769667>this guy's dogshit designs are good now because this other person is making slopdoi is a mediocre artist no matter how many atlus veterans fall from grace.
>>555761512Thank you Doi for creating Dazai and Abdiel!
>>555770031Who keeps getting better over time and is now responsible for many iconic designs. The Doi and Kozuka duo is now what I want to see in any future SMT releases. Their names carry weight for me now and I would be disappointed if they ever left the series.
>>555766779I think they intended it like a Tom Clancy sort of thing
Is Soul Hackers on 3DS a good time?
>>555770348>Who keeps getting better over timeYou say that like he's only been drawing for a few years and not over a decade. This is dogshit output for someone who's been the series artist for 13 years delivered at a glacial pace.
>>555771970Novel mechanics (albeit many are underutilized or underbaked), each dungeon has a strong identity, insanely stacked roster.
>>555770348>Iconic designs He only has ONE iconic design and it's only due to their personality being comically edgy to the point of absurdity. Everything else is either forgettable, bland fanservice, or downgrades to the Kaneko designs as shown with Tiamat.
>>555771985This might shock you but the public perception of those designs is positive and has only gotten better over time.
>>555772531So yes? I played all the etrians and it seems the 3ds has slim pickings for "classic" games. I don't like the persona games besides 1 and 2.
>>555773227>So yes?Very yes.>it seems the 3ds has slim pickings for "classic" gamesSH in particular feels like a 90s time capsule so it should be perfect if you're after classic.
>>555773608Ah. Excellent. The 90s was the last time I enjoyed living.
>>555750986i have a friend that likes that game and i have no idea why. it looks so sterile. but tbf hes only played smt3, 5 and purse owner
niggas really think atrocious designs like this are iconic

>>555775585>>555775903SMT VV is great, and excellent, and worth every dime I spent on it and I will have none of your clearly wrong and stinky opinions.
>>555712030oh.so this is where the meme is from.i feel like i'm about to have a bad time.
>>555776815He needs to be put on the two packs of cigarettes a day diet.
>>555776940And have a bad time I did, but I still won. barely.I'm not ashamed to say I had to burn some of those bead chains that my high fairy found.
>>555777809>high fairyhigh pixie, I mean.

>>555767778What's their endgame?
>>555783503Milking their nostalgic fans for money.Kaneko in particular never hid the fact that he did it for money.
starting strange journey (redux) anything to look forward?
>>555785764You're mixing two things:Cunny was from /tv/ and it was just an old english word that fell out of fashion because it was too similar to cony.ToT is the crying emoji that dorontabi loves to spam and it only spread (alongside with UOH) after someone introduced the guy in the Nobeta threads on /v/.
>>555785210alex
has anyone bought the thor emulation console and tried playing devil survivors on it? i am wondering if i want to buy it
>>555786409that's something to not look forward to
>>555786497what's the point of buying emulation console if you can do it on pc for free, looking from the price i also doubt it's any cheaper than used 3DS
>>555786626i figured i'd play other games on it too, not just 3ds onesi guess i can just stick to pc and not spend money
>>555784004>Kaneko in particular never hid the fact that he did it for money.doing a job for a paycheck and exploiting your own image to milk fans are two very different thingsno-one is working on smt games out of the goodness of their heart
>>555786248sounds like an insight job and it all started appearing at the same time at that time. i love loli but not the spamming and 3dpd side of it that spawned also i didn't follow that retards just been posting on 4chan
>>555789312>but not the spammingLoli image dump threads were always eomthing that were here and it was always more or less tolerated despite being against the rules.>and 3dpd side I don't know about you but those only happen when a schizo is trying to nuke a thread.Also while the timing is suspicious, cunny definitely happened before ToT and UOH and those were just a modern, more sexually charged, iteration of HNG.
>>555789312inside job*those*sorry had a brain tumor. please don't out me as the alice esl.. i am not..>>555789747yeah
>>555789747>against the rulesonly the porn side of it.
>>555790032The more prudish mods and jannies don't give a fuck.
>>555790191yeah some of them are huge cuckslet's just drop the act, we all love alice here

>>555759931A very rapeable Jonathan.
i found this to be very spooky

Aleph :(lol jk
>>555794126Aleph's Eternal Punishment
so if Hijiri only got this loredump inside labyrinth of amala, safe to say he was given nothing in the original Nocturne version?
hell yeah
>>555794308Yes
>>555794473But you can call me Dante the Devil Hunter, has a nice ring to it don't ya think?
Featuring Vergil from the Final Fantasy XIV Series™
>>555794308As it should have been. His loredump was pointless and only served to confuse people that thought he was more special than he really should be.
>>555796013Why didn't V have Vergil? Why couldn't Yamai get Capcom to let them do it?
seems like I overprepared for this fight, dude didn't even have a chance to use fire of sinai lmao
we're in the endgame folks
wash your penis kid
The aliceschizo is spamming on /v/ now. What a pathetic creature.
>>555802618that's where he came from. he doesn't actually care about SMT.
>>555771985I'm pretty new to SMT (only played 3 and VV).Is this picture supposed to show Masayuki Doi's entire demon design output? If so, I don't see why people here talk about him as if he's a dogshit artist.The only outright bad designs in that chart are Adramelech and whoever that fat woman demon is on the top right. Everything else is either great or amazing. Adramelech is bad because he's basically a sassy/rapey gay man caricature (even his intro animation is him being being flamboyant like some drag queen), and the fat woman on the right looks ugly (I don't know what the lower part of her body looks like, but the top part looks so ugly that even a beautiful bottom section can't redeem the design).
>>555803238>Adramelech and whoever that fat woman demon is on the top right.Literally his best demon designs alongside the torn in half woman.>Adramelech is bad because he's basically a sassy/rapey gay man caricatureHe's Lucifer's stylist of course he's a fag, that's what makes him good he's an unsettling kiddy diddler.
Ahriman is dead, kinda spook with his apocalypse but it's all good in the end
>>555803238Some people in the SMT community basically worship Kaneko and shit on anything new/different.
SOMEONE IS ADDING ALICE INTO SMT3?
Zeus is the only truly bad Doi design. And Satan is bad because it's a massive downgrade of a classic design, on its own is just mediocre.
>>555804860Zeus is 3D made his design good though.
Doi and kaneko both obviously have very distinctive and unique styles of designs, I really don't get whats so out of pocket or incomprehensible that someone could just organically not like their artstyles as a whole and thus think their designs suck without it originating from some hero worship defence of the other. If someone goes "I don't really like kanekos stiff doll like humans" you don't really see anyone shouting "You just don't like old things", but if you don't like dois designs because of his phobia of empty space you're a tribal kaneko worshipper who HATES the new and will die defending kaneko. I just think its an overly autistic one sided reaction.Personally I also really like umetsu's nine character art and whoever the fuck did the majin 2 art, and inversely I think yasuda's devil survivor art sucks ass and whoever the fuck did the ronde character art sucks ass. Theres no agenda behind these takes, its my aesthetic preferences that were shaped based on my lifes consumption of shit so far.
>>555810683shroom nigga summoning his harem
TOTAL ABDIEL LOVE
>>555804730the metaphor general modder is putting alice and satan in metaphor>>555810683none of these effects will be working properly in the DDS remaster
>>555811575...There's a metaphor general?
>>555811771always has been
>>555811141
hell to the yeah, all magatama achieved
>>555810683Persona!
>>555806626His animations are really well done, you can feel the weight behind them like he's lugging around the marble half of himself.
>>555776940so fun fact, since all the fiend stuffs are new to maniax, that means the Matador fight was entirely absent so Ginza Underpass originally never blindsided players with a sudden boss fight that taught players the horrors of evasion buffs
noah deadso easy with just freikugel + stinger despite the shifting resistance
>>555812162Imagine the sweat
>>555814649no
>>555814649yeah
thor 2nd encounter boss battle feels like it's just for padding desu. dude entered 3rd phase and did all the preparation only to get kwabbed because of my masakados magatama and mother harlot reflected his physic attack lmaooooo
>>555814649Master Abdiel's butt sweat has a sweet taste, like cinnamon.
the jeans goddess is also downjust 2 more bosses before thinking i should continue for new endings or move to other SMT games.
>>555815779his ass is so divine you can see it from here
i asked this before but no one answered it yet, if you fight lucifer and lose, do you have to fight the disco ball again?
>>555820608surely you just get kicked to the main menu and have to load the game like normal
>>555820753i mean since lucifer fight immediately happens after disco ball, i thought there's no save option in-between
>>555820608yes
devil survivor 2 looks tough to play
Any ideas for an nsfw pixel animation involving futsuko?
>>555826564arachne rape
>>555826564Getting mating pressed by the MC.
>>555826384The cringe dialogue makes it hard to play
DeSu 1 also has cringe dialogue but at least DeSu 2 has a interesting cast of characters and higher stakes
>>555828867im not used to with tactical jrpg
>>555828151Kinda hard to do that with Arachne given the pixel art model >>555828195Kinda boring. Already have an animation of the MC and his mom with cowgirl
>>555830078show me
>>555830258https://files.catbox.moe/bbmm17.mp4
round 3 on hardtype fly cunt.certain sequences can just fuck a demon from full hp if they have less than 600. amaterasu is the mvp for insta killing the adds. I'm overleveled at 79, probably could've done it sooner if I had properly prepared. now for metatron rng.
>>555830450doesn't load
>>555830969Catbox down it seems. Checked this link and it works https://litter.catbox.moe/zo1o5p5vbucgx8o5.mp4
>>555831224mama fucker
How tf do I beat the qadistu? Did everything right, start with Tao, up defense, target wind for estreth, lightning for agrat, phys for namaah and it’s fucking useless.
>>555834089Use strategize cheese to spend 30 minutes setting up to kill them all in one turn, obviously
>>555834348Explain
>>555834089Focus on only one at a time.Spreding your damage like you did is the worst thing you can do.
>>555834657Won’t she just bring them back then?
>>555835872Try it.
Is it any wonder why Doi's demons aren't "iconic" when they've only been used for two mainline entries as opposed to everything Megaten like everything else? Put them in Persona and you'll see how much people like them.
>>555839910Nigga, you literally have people in this general complaining about how Atlus is playing it safe and always reuse the same demons when Kaneko drew thousands of design.
Unc Megami Tensei
Surely the rumored partner showcase will save us.
>>555846796I'm gonna lol my lmao off when VV dodges a Switch 2 version again
I gain nothing from a switch 2 upgrade. Why do people want this?
>>5558471351. Poorfags who can't afford a PC2. Some think DLC will come with it
>>555847135Possibility of DLC and Doi's comment over a year ago that he's sitting around waiting for his next opportunity to talk about VV development.
What was that random Marici DLC drop about? I thought that was going to lead to more stuff for VV. Could've gotten Krishna by now.
>>555848881Atlus is a small indie studio please understand. They need another 10 years for SMT VI.
>>555777809After surviving EL MATADOR I started exploring the labyrinth and despite getting my ass beat by stronger mobs pushed through to reach the next floor where I am rewarded with forbidden knowledge like the implication that the entire series is apparently multiverse slop before it was trendy and the less forbidden knowledge that the old man/young boy is Lucifer. God also politely asks me to please stop helping Lucifer work on his feng shui. Will this lock my alignment if I tell him to buzz off? Does this game even have alignments?
>>555811141it is funny how much she turns into dazai's complete bitch in vengeance.
>>555834089I remember cheesing it with some phys dampener but I forgot the rest. https://youtu.be/7Gh5vOnaGBQ?si=a20aZ2EyO1CxbzVN&t=10301Think I also only targeted Lilith to end the game early.
>>555848881>What was that random Soul Hackers Pixie addition about? I thought that was going to lead to more stuff for Soul Hackers 2. Could've gotten Kangiten by now.
>>555852320It was great
>>555834089Only focus on killing one at a time.Your priorities are:1. Agrat (killing her is an absolute must, because her crit chaining can easily wipe your party)2. Naamah (killing her is good because you don't want her to kill your debuffs with her charm move, nor do you want to have to deal with removing charm, plus she's weak to physical, so you can use her to generate press turns).3. Eisheth isn't really that important to kill since she doesn't have any major bullshit that can troll your party. But focus on Agrat. Lilith can only do her qadistu team move if all 4 qadistu are alive, so you neuter the fuck out of her if you remove one qadistu.Slowly chip away at Lilith. But focus on keeping Agrat dead (she's weak to electric).
>>555847135As I've said multiple times in previous threads, I would buy a Switch 2 right now if only they patched older games so that they can run at 60fps. It's fucking inexcusable that they can't be bothered to commission different companies to release 60fps patches for older games that only ran at a cap of 30fps (but can run 60fps on other platforms).
GET OUT OF MY FUCKING ROOM JONATHON I NEED FREE HEALS
>>555851517The regular alignments are decided when a character walk up to you and says "this is my alignment what do you think?" and responding with "sounds cool" or "nah i'm good". Getting to the bottom of the Labyrinth of Amala locks you to the true demon ending which has more content than the other routes.
>>555854797Holy shit, it's the best written romantic couple in mainline smt... the one and only...
>>555856380Mudoondyne yourself
>>555852669To add to this, i think it's a pretty good method since you only need to kill Lilith, but you must have Cleo first to do this run properly because of her Hamabarion and Frolic. For that you must need Alice to cheese Cleo. Im too much of a brainlet trying to kill all of them.
rewatching Devil Survivor 2 Animation for the first time since it was aired back in 2013. so much time has passed.
all DeSu 2 girls are built for aggressive titfucking damn
>>555839910Iddun would probably hypnotize Persona players
>>555860356I remember it was pretty shat on.
>>555863359animation quality is alright but they already messed up the order of how they met JPs since 1st episodeto think this is the only non-persona SMT game that has a full anime adaptation
>>555863538How do they adapt the purple blob fight? That was one of the most cinematic bosses of the game.
>>555864002honestly i'm still rewatching italso i haven't been very far in my DeSu 2 gameplay so I still don't know about purple blob too
SMT x the olympics
disco ball donelucifer soon
>>555851517I promised god I'd do better while crossing my fingers behind my back, then finished journeying past the Ginza underground to make it to the Mantra HQ. As soon as I arrived I met up with my pal Luke Triton and we caught up for all of half a second before he got his soul torn out of his face by Thor who promptly jails us and gives us a trial by combat. By pure dumb luck my current set-up hard countered the first two opponents and Thor decided to keep trying to zap my lightning creature that is made of lightning and is healed by lightning with his bolts of lightning so he went down easy as well.I'm feeling pretty confident where I- oh no
>>555870056OH NO
>>555869683it's done babyyyyfirst SMT game i finished
kinoooo
>>555870492I won, he said 'fuck your debuffs,' murdered the shit out of my traveling companions then dragged me kicking and screaming to the land of ten thousand crits, but I won.Thankfully he didn't have an answer for Focus.
SMT featuring Dante from the Divine Comedy
>>555869683>Alpha, find me five teenagers with attitude
>>555857427No.
Will they ever top the Midtown theme from IV?
>>555876149>will they ever top this song I like?That's up to you to decide.
peak demifiend
>>555878921your magma axis and deathbound?
>>555879224this is a throwaway save file where I only did it specifically for the steam achievementscharisma is for the meme because I kept failing my negotiations so might as well.
>>555876149So sad that the soundtrack is literally the only redeeming quality of IV...
>>555856380a handful of nice gf characters that exist to be a moral compass... wow what stiff competition...also desu Beano/Yoko is more intriguing
>>555881450theyre just friends
now i finished nocturne and kinda feel eh about doing other endings, which should i pick now? SJR or IV? I did try IV a bit but boy the start was rough
>>555885307IV plays more like Nocturne if that's what you want, (original) SJ is better though
>>555886395when you play IV do you try to kill every encounters you find or prefer to just run away?
>>555886484Kill everything, but the start of IV is just very overly punishing. it gets easier after the first boss
>>555871956wtf i love law now
>>555886641ngl i immediately picked the easiest difficulty after i died like 3 times heh, apparently i died a lot when i fought the first hordeturns out when I watch this speedrun video, you could actually sleep first before fighting your first boss.
>>555881450If it's intriguing then you headcanon'd it. In game they barely interact. Her bond with Tao is pretty much her whole character. The MC is kind of just along for the ride for most of it.
was told that ailment is super important in SMT when you just jumped from Personaended up completing Nocturne not recalling a single time I ever did ailment other than the physical attack that may have some ailment in it like stun needle just debilitate and go brrrrr
>think I'm a clever boy using dekaja stone on Matador>he just uses it againFirst try win, thanks to the power of demon women. That was less unfair than the mobs attacking me and killing me before I can react.honestly I just fused High Pixie into her because she's hot
>>555893568for me, Matador got surprisingly killed because I equipped counter to my Nozuchi, dude casually hit 100 hp on rebound after being hit with andalucia and it happened to be the last of his hp too.
>>555862032the Yasuda special
>>555873418SMT fangame where all the alignment reps you don't agree with are just people you hate IRL
SMT but it's a dating romcom spinoff between the demons
>>555894164It's like we only ever play the guys too autistic to bang any of the demon women.
>>555894976Demi?
>>555895530DF fucking Pixie is pure fanon.
>>555896505Fuck no. The best part of his inclusion in V was Pixie winning the Demi bowl.
>>555896607>stood by his side from the start>didn't destroy the world out of megalomania>didn't seek to replace it with her shitty fanfiction either It explains shirtless man's power.
>>555896890>is fusion fodder
