Kaneko's all kind of misfortune during his Atlus days:
>had a bad blood with his own boss to the point he deliberately was kept out of idea development discussion from the ideas he created himself
>his 3d modelling staff ignored his input
>wasn't given enough money to buy reference books
>wasn't even given a chance to proofread his own artbooks
>his nocturne-era prototype idea got laughed at by the staff to the point he had to scrap it
>his hazama-focused story idea got taken away , made to be a mobile-exclusive game without any more input from him
>had to delay his raidou idea for years because his boss got entrenched to bill gates' book

smt J was a mobile game with procedurally generated dungeons, and it had a battle arena where you could battle other players.
just thought i'd share since i never saw it mentioned before.

>>575171671
Jack Frost was his personal mascot and they took it from him.

>>575171671
>his hazama-focused story idea got taken away , made to be a mobile-exclusive game without any more input from him
I mean, the mobile game was made years after If. His original idea was for If itself. It's more that they didn't end up implementing it or doing anything else with the concept until they decided to release a mobile spin-off and then went back to the idea as a standalone game now.

>the chapter ended up being adapted in 2004, when kaneko was still in atlus, for mobile gaming where he said it himself he didn't have any input
>it took 22 years later for kaneko to tell something about what he thinks of that game

>>575176905
we know he sees it as taken from him and made without his input.
we don't know what he thinks of the final product though because he never played it.

Kaneko says that Demi pukes his worm before swallowing another one.

>>575179134
where are the worms stored?

>>575179649
It sounds like from the way Kankeo described it that magatama are used up once discharged. That's not what happens in the game but I guess that's as much logic as you can put to a game mechanic you aren't supposed to put too much thought into.

Abihiko from Raidou wasn't Kaneko designed. It's really sounding like basically all pallet/model swaps in the 3d games that don't have artwork were just improvised by the rest of the staff without Kaneko, unlike the SNES era pallet swaps.

>in hazama's chapter, hazama uses boku until around the last bax, where he uses watashi (and then eventually ware at the very end).
the change is witnessed after defeating angra mainyu, but is that what caused the change...?
>amon says hazama seems different after reuniting, after the event where amon left hazama's side...
did hazama start using watashi because amon left or was it because he started gaining more power? either way, it's more rigid than boku.
it's vague what exactly made him change, but i assume amon leaving was at least partly the trigger. hazama was abandoned yet again, and he gets to see how powerful he can be on his own. he doesn't really need others, i suppose. is that it?

Sardinian Folkloristic creatures
>Maimone or Mamuthone is a divinity of nature current in the mythology and culture of Sardinia. He was transformed, with the advent of Christianity, into a demon

What I don't understand is, why doesn't Atlus re-release the PSP versions of P1 and P2? They already did it with P3P and P4G, not to mention there apparently is some interest, if what I've seen on Reddit over the past couple of days is anything to go by.

>>575236335
>The actual turbonormie fanbase who doesn't even play the games get them
>Start lamenting they are shit and not social sims which borderline play by themselves
>A gazillion youtubers bitch and moan about the "archaic" gameplay etc. etc.
It would just be a bad reputational hit.

>>575233995
also, i forgot, but the voice that talks to hazama at the end that tells him he can't be a god because he still has human attachments was his own inner voice.
in a way, this part also makes it seem like hazama rejects himself somehow.
and it sounds kinda archaeic i think.
overall, i reminds me of how persona characters talk to their shadows/personas.

>>575236335
Choose your poison
>lost the source code
>not enough demand
>waiting for a remake in 20 years
Also, P1 and P2 don't play like typical persona. They don't have the 3d feel of P3+ and most normalfags nowadays have an aversion to pixelart if it's not to larp as a nostalgiafag.

>>575234839
And they can combine him with Mammon or Maimonides if they feel like it

>>575229462
It feels like he just isn't good with people since he had issues not only with superiors but even with people working under him. So, larger team sizes in later games, bigger issues. Reminder that during the 2d era he made the actual pixel sprites of the demons, not just artwork. So, no one under him messing with his work and the rest of the team had to go through him for any bosses and such, while later on the team can just ignore him at times and do their own thing.

I also think it might have been a combo of Persona 2EP and Nocturne (which didn't sell that badly compared to the other games, but also had much more resources put into it than Atlus' next few 3d games when you consider all new assets and such). Especially with Kaneko mentioning Nocturne was supposed to be just a prologue and the stuff about wanting to make 9 mainline SMT games. So, it seems like his plans were cut off right after Nocturne. He wasn't even involved with DDS at all aside from character design, and apparently Raidou was made with a smaller team.

I think it really comes down to P1 and 2IS/EP being sprite based and in a way where they can't just insert high res artwork like they did with the Etrian Odyssey HD trilogy.

What's the best way to play P1 and the P2 duology?

>>575260640

>>575262736
Thanks. Just now I'm finding out they never released P2EP for the PSP but they did release IS? That's retarded.

>>575265991
Yeah. They probably didn't bother to port EP because IS didn't sell well in the west on a dying handheld

i'll add:
>in hazama's chapter, amon calls hazama "anata / you" when he first meets him, then he calls hazama "hazama-sama / lord hazama" after their contract is official, then at the very end of the game, amon calls hazama "anata / you" again.
anata is only used for people of equal rank or below so it's not used for people above you. and amon only calls hazama that when he's not his master.
in smt if..., amon just calls hazama "hazama /ハザマ".
also in hazama's chapter, amon's speech towards hazama is formal and polite with -masu verb forms until the very end, where he switches to casual verb forms.
it shows a lost of respect because hazama is betraying him.

>>575284859
adding:
looking back at all this has been pretty interesting.
it's sad seeing it again though, amon's story. angra mainyu calls humans shit and asks amon if he agrees and he just stays silent, which i take as disagreement because he grew to genuinely like hazama, but hazama just rips him apart anyway.

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
While studying for the midterms Junpei suggested we rock on down to tartarsauce to go bully shadows, only for us to be the ones getting bullied. We got our asses beat by a furniture show room so now we'll have to train and become mighty (and fuse a persona with fire resistance that can also put out some damage) to continue our exploration. Elizabeth has also been supplying me with various goodies for completing missions, including entirely practical and statistically superior combat armor for Yukari.

>>575285857
so how are you liking p3 so far, anon?

>>575286206
I like that it's keeping the dark aesthetic of the previous Personas. I've heard that newer personas are an entirely different animal from 1+2 which gameplay wise I see but the tone of "Shit's extremely fucked just below the surface" and the dreamlike qualities of the previous two games is still intact. Even the OST despite being much more in your face and a product of it's time feels very off in a good way. There's one that really stands out that tends to play very early in the morning like when you're just waking up or when you're going to an assembly that's just perfectly pleasant but not quite right.
Art and aesthetics are also very much a product of their time which is fine by me because 2000's emo styles are kino.
Story has me very intrigued despite knowing that the punny glasses man backstabs us at some point for some reason, which is a shame because he's pretty likeable so far.

>>575287438
i see. ty for sharing your thoughts. i think p3 has a really good atmosphere. one of my favorites from the ost is "living with determination" which gives a melancholy vibe. desu i used to not mind the combat when i first played it but now i find it kinda hard to go back to. but overall, i still love p3.
great ending too. one of my favorites.

Kaneko has confirmed that Masakado's ghost has not been murdering Atlus staff members.

druj also has different dialogue depending on if the mc is male or female. she'll just comment on how she loves youngsters if male.
if female, she'll say she likes both men and women.
and her usage of -nasai makes her seem bossy, like she's above you. it's for authority figures when telling someone under them what to do like a parent or teacher.

i also kinda like the if... novel's take on akira's reaction to hazama's inner world. he doesn't see why he should pity him and it makes a lot of sense with how amon got ripped apart and probably regretted even feeling sorry for hazama.
it wouldn't have been anything the novel writer could've taken into account, but it fits nicely with hazama hen somehow.

the comment about the students digging in the world of sloth in the novel being tied to balaam made a lot of sense too. it's assumed that they were placed there so they'd inevitably run into balaam and get killed.

I mean, Kaneko designed almost every demon back then, it's not like Jack Frost is special in that sense. Jack Frost even was in MT2 already although obviously the design was different.

What he claimed in that twitter message is that pushing Jack Frost as a mascot was just a thing he was doing on his own, rather than something coming from Atlus. And then at some point Atlus just started officially using him as a mascot.

what's weird though because she's like a designated punching bag, she goes even further by making sure she also takes a lot of other people's hits without my consent, i was alright letting my other 2 characters getting the hit from Yashiro but then she stepped in, while fully knowing she's weak to axe so she got the initial yashiro's hit, then the string from excellus, THEN yashiro hits again because he can do 2 actions in a row, another string, and that's when she died. are you for fucking real

>>575452273
I don't think you can beat Raidou without demons though

>>575452756
You can't as far as the whole game is concerned due to the field demon abilities being needed to progress, but I feel like you could get through battles with enough grinding.

The remaster is easier, ironically because it has better combat.
This is impossible in the original Raidou 1 simply because Raidou is extremly slow there.

akira uses hiragana ore to refer to himself at the beginning but switches to katakana ore after fusing with amon.
the ps1 version has him start out with kanji ore, but he still switches to the katakana version later.
he refers to the protagonist as temee early on, but later refers to them as omae.

you should do it, rondebro.

the guardian/reincarnation aspect in if... fits the setting because it feels you're really in hell because you can't truly die. more games should do something to capture that feeling.

I just found out that Atlus apparently held a live concert of SMT5 music around 3 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Agbrp0M1R9g
I'm flabbergasted that NOBODY recorded any footage of this concert except for this dude here. And it's a short. And judging by what little I heard, they at least had a sick rendition of Tokyo Daybreak with a violin melody.

>>575469116
>the save and load abuse
The what?

the final nocturne dungeon is such a slog I'm almost naturally hitting Metatron levels of fusing despite estomaing through the game

>>575472186
have you ever walked into some place and suddenly 3 demons just sprung up from all directions, rushing to you? to avoid them hitting you first and thus getting the first turn, a lot of speedrunners just do an emergency save then load the save file again then the encounters will be gone, otherwise you're risking lost progress because you may forget the last time you saved.

>>575473086
Interesting...

>>575465262

>>575471305
You're late to the party. I complained about the lack of footage too. All I saw was the beginning of the concert where they had the VAs for Nahobino, Aogami, and Demi come out and introduce the band. Also the band put out a tip jar where they had 2 jars, one for SMT and one for Persona and the SMT jar was over flowing while the Persona jar was barely half full. Was funny.

>>575473814
btw I never played nocturne

>>575473086

So I'm gonna be spending a lot of time idling at work the next week (more so than I normally do).
I want to play SMT1 and SMT2 to see where this series came from.
There's like a billion versions of each of them.
Which version is the definitive way to play SMT1 and SMT2?
Also, which emulator for each game?

And, since I am here, any beginner tips and tricks? Like, I know these are really old JRPGs and are thus likely to be filled with lots of bullshit design, so any tips to keep in mind?

Another trip into Tartarus to fulfill Elizabeth's mission orders while grinding up the team has yielded the pleasant surprise of random skill swaps making it over from Persona 2/Nocturne to spice things up. This new skill seems either stupid broken or a good way to get my party wombo combo'd to death in quick order. The incredibly slow speed at which my party members learn skills is also starting to concern me, I don't want to be the only person on this team capable of AoEs.
Meanwhile Junpei got verbally castrated in public and I finally know where this line is from.

>>575534104
Playing the entire series in release order here. I did the PS1 port of SMT1 and the OG SMT2 both with translation patches.
Also I strongly advise you play Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei (Super Nintendo port of Megami Tensei 1+2) first before playing SMT1+2 since those were the OGs of the series and are kino in their own right, MT2 especially is still in my top three games in the series I've played so far and I'm all the way up to Persona 3.
Tips? If you've played other oldschool crawlers like Wizardry or M&M think of MAG as a food currency, finite resource that drains as you travel. do your best to manage it especially in the beginning where it's scarce. You don't expend any of it when you're running solo.

Oh. I thought SMT1 was the first game in the series. Well, that changes things.

>>575538535
MT1 and 2 are technically a separate series, since MT1 is loosely based on a book series and MT2 is a game original sequel to that. SMT is Atlus taking the ideas from MT1 and MT2 and then doing a fully original Atlus game series based on that. Basically all demon designs are different too between MT1 and MT2 and the later games due to this.

Reloaded's story scenes were mostly based on P3P rather than FES. P3P turned many cutscenes into just portraits talking and although Reloaded has 3d models for everything you still end up losing some anime cutscenes and the specific ways some scenes with 3d models were framed in FES.

tldr; the first MT anything was a book. MT 1+2 are based off of that book with MT1 in particular basically being a sequel.
As far as I can tell SMT is it's own continuity apart from MT, and If../Persona is a what-if timeline in SMT's continuity where the events that would have kicked off SMT's story either never happened or were thwarted.
The original book was made into an OVA which is available in full on YT if you're interested.

Atlus are definitely gonna make godborn mode a day 1 DLC for SMT VI, I can feel it in my bones.

some complain about tms, the game really wants tsubasa to be the lategame healer because she's the only one with mediarahan AND prayer, hell even mediarama is only restricted to her, itsuki and kiria (not even mamori).
