Do they not care about SMT anymore?

>>259113369
A fucking mainline game got pushed to B-team side-project status. How much do you think they care?

Companies go where the money is, and it's a Japanese company.

I used to like persona but now I hate it for killing SMT

Also how are people not sick of the P4 cast yet

regardless of you considering Maniax team "B-team side project", it didn't make SMT4 any worse for wear.

Supposedly said team is hard at work on their next project, but we might not hear anything until next year

>>259114006
Autists can't deal with change

>>259113369

Not a single SMT game on the PS3 and they put a mainline game on the 3DS. All they care about is fucking Persona

>>259114006
>Also how are people not sick of the P4 cast yet

How long have they continued it?
>Persona 4
>Persona 4 Golden
>Persona 4 Arena
>Persona 4 Arena the Ultimax
>Persona 4 the Animation
>Persona 4 Golden the Animation

For fucks sake. I liked P4 at the start too but so fed up with it now. I don't even bother gong to the threads anymore. I swear it's reaching KS levels

They've released more mainline SMT games in the past 6 years than mainline Persona games.

>>259114006
>Also how are people not sick of the P4 cast yet
Good question. They're easily the most obnoxious and idiotic gang of dorks in the series and they've managed to stretch them out longer than any of the other casts.

>>259114825

Too bad P4 threads went to complete shit years ago. I remember when P4 threads where basically SMT threads

Even when I prefer SMT to the Persona line, I can understand why they're ignoring mainline SMT.
You need to go where the money is.

>>259114006
>Also how are people not sick of the P4 cast yet
People like lovable idiots apparently, given P4's Cast is 50 variants of P3's Junpei.

>>259113369

Persona happened

Unless they really do some renovations on the SMT series I can't see it being as popular

It's an even better and more accurate waifu simulator, I rest my case.

>>259113369
Didn't they release IV 2 years ago on the 3DS?

>>259115658
No, I'm just saying "more mainline games" doesn't really work as an argument since Persona have like 7 spin offs and re-releases

Just recently played SMT4.

How was it received by earlier SMT fans?

Are the other SMT more or less dungeon-crawly? I liked it for the most part but it did get repetitive after awhile.

I wish they made a game with more story than SMT4 but less story than Persona.

Because SMT sucked and always will suck. Why do you think they're tacking it on with Fire Emblem? They probably think that Fire Emblem's popularity will save it.

It's better just to focus more on Persona and newer games.

>>259114825

>>259114006
SMT killed itself, stop deluding yourself.

Not focusing on =/= killing. SMT4 sold well, SMT x FE is in development and the Maniax Team is working on something. They milk Persona since that's a consistent seller, but mainline SMT is still alive.

The only thing I'm more worried about is that we don't see any new SMT spin offs any more. DeSu2 3DS seems to be dead, Raidou is even more dead, and one offs like DDS are probably never coming back.

>>259114430
SMT4 was pandering to old S/MT fans, so they went with the console that had nostalgia fags.

>>259115090
But SMT4 made pretty good money in Japan and in the US.

I really wish they would make more unique games like Catherine

We might get one after the Persona blow-out, if those Devilizer/Devilizer trademarks Atlus filed in November are anything to go by. Rumor on 2ch is, that's what Kaneko's been working on ever since he came up with the concept for SMT4 and then left the project.

>>259118142

Whatever you do DON'T BUY CODE OF PRINCESS

SMTIV is pretty cool, sort of like a PS2 JPRG but in a handheld.

Etrian Odyssey Untold and IV are both good, but they are classic, first person dungeon crawlers, so you should know what you're getting into before you buy it. It might not be your style.

>>259118142
Pick up SMT IV and see if you like it, then go from there. If you like first person dungeon crawlers EO may be worth your time, pick up IV first. I'm not a huge fan but if you like SRPGs then Devil Survivor might be up your alley.

Thanks anons.

>>259116218
But you can make far more money with pandering products like the Persona franchise, in the same way Bioware became wealthier than god thanks to their romance-focused WRPGs.

If I were Atlus' CEO I would focus every single effort into Persona and similar products, disbanding the SMT teams.
As I told you before, we're here to make money.

>I wasn't a fan of KH, but ok, let's give it a go.
>full of dialog, high school setting, have to literally go to school, fuck this

So I'm playing Nocturne now and it's been pretty good so far, any heads up about this game? No spoilers please.
Also, what game do I play after it?

>>259118612
But it was?? Awakening was almost the last FE game we would ever get. What happened to that was a MIRACLE!

>>259119219
Persona is just a bell cow to allow other games. They can both exist and be successful especially with Sega and Nintendo marketing power and supply chain.

>>259119219
Following that logic, why is Bioware making DA:I and that Shadow realms game if Mass Effect is so popular and more known for them?

Good luck, anon. And remember, if SMTIV seems too hard, just keep pushing onwards, it gets better after the Medusa boss battle.

>>259119320
SMT games are games in which buffs and status effects actually matter. They are very important as opposed to games like DQ and FF.
Having trouble with a certain enemy? Then try inflicting status effects.

Build a balanced team. I assume you already know about the press turn system (hit weakness/crit, get more turns) and how it also goes for enemies. Building a team that's resistant to a certain something is good for specific bosses, but unless you use guides there are times when you won't be able to find out what the next boss's speciality is. So balance is key.

Str build is better in the long run than magic, but magic is still very much viable.

>>259119219
Variety, dipshit.

>>259119350
FE Awakening also came out with a lot of advertising

>>259113369
Persona 3 and 4 attracted to many autists that they realized it's far better to focus on the casual obsessive market rather than to make interesting games. Like Nocturne or SJ.

I didn't even mind 3/4 I thought they were pretty fun light RPGs but weren't as good as 1/2. '

That first boss was a piece of cake, all with having two demons with thunder magic, but I know SMT is known for being hard, so I'll try to balance things out.

Also, fusion is very important.

Don't get attached to demons, you'll only end up hurting yourself. Letting go is hard.

>>259120023
No problem. A lot of people get to the first real roadblock (you'll know it when you get there) and underestimate just how useful buffs can be, get frustrated, and give up, and as a result, don't get to see 90% of the game.

You can fuse pixie, but remember what demon she's inside of.
Even if you fuse the demon that came out of pixie+another demon, remember the demon that pixie is inside of.

Even if you fuse the demon that came out of the demon that came out of the demon of pixie + ???. Always remember which demon Pixie is inside of. If I remember right, that demon is always at the top of your list no matter what. This is important for something.

You should because SMT4 is a piece of shit.

Not gonna lie most of mainline is boring as fuck garbage outside of Nocturne and DDS. Ooooh I get to fight God or Satan?! HOW ORIGINAL!

At least in Persona there's a Lovecraftian horror who's the root of every shadow, Greek deities (which are as over used as god and satan) and other things as well.

They've got to make more Nocturne and DDS' or no ones gonna give a fuck because Satan vs. God is fucking boring at this point. Hell bring back Raidou.

>>259127110
For SMT, 4 is the best place to start since it has the smoothest gameplay. Strange Journey is a prequel to it in terms of gameplay, but it's way more dungeon crawling than 4 or 3. 3 is the most popular one of mainline SMT and where most started out on. It's rougher to play since you'll be missing out on a lot of gameplay tweaks and improvements, but it's one of the better games of the franhcise.

Probably wrong thread to ask but I'll give it a shot.

Did they improve P2's battle mechanics on the psp version? I'm stuck in the original version, I can't stand that tarot cards system and the battles are dull.

I loved the story and characters but can't force myself to play it.

You can shout SMT IS DEAD at the top of your lungs however much you want but it won't become truth.

The worst part is that when IV came out it was really discussed and seemingly enjoyed by the board but most people now pretend they didn't like it to (my guess) spite P4? This board truly has a goldfish memory.

Altough I'll concede the future is kinda uncertain, even P5 is getting undoubtedly delayed by now.

It's OK Son of man. We're just working to satisfy the masses. Once you play the game, I'm sure you'll understand the ways in which we must approach the general market.

Persona is the future.

SMT IV is to videogame music as Drive is to movie music

>>259129097

The hell? It's more 80s like synths and guitars than anything. P3 is the urban one (and I love it)

>>259129519
Do they plan on translating all of them?

>>259129842
Don't know. Honestly they are not really good. It's your normal 80's shitty horror book. But I personally like those books. A guilty pleasure of mine.

>>259129810
>The hell? It's more 80s like synths and guitars than anything. P3 is the urban one (and I love it)

I guess it depends on what artist it makes you think of. A lot of it reminds me of Prince and MJ.

How do you feel about Atlus milking EO too?

>>259129770
That's fine but arguing that it's a shitty game because it's on the Wii U is dumb.

>>259130219
I'll give it a download.

>>259130524
You will really hate the main character Nakajima. He's just a fucker that feel should just die.

>>259130379
>A lot of it reminds me of Prince and MJ.
..which a lot of is synths as well. SMT4's music goes for an "80s cyber punk" feel, which does so perfectly.

>>259130749
Shinji-kun?

>>259130828
I can't wait for the uptick in SMTIV threads when yuros get it

>>259130893
I actually liked Shinji in Eva. Hell he was one of the only main characters that I actually liked weirdly enough.

>>259130509

No
Its because I need to buy a console that I dont wanna buy
And I know for sure im not the only one who wouldn't buy a wii U just for SMTxFE

I would buy a ps3 just for P5 tho
Why?, its not because , omg I have persona dick in my throat
But its because if I want to play other games on that system, I know I will find many stuff

Why is there so much infighting in the Mainline fanbase? It always seems like everyone is shitting on at least one of these games for no real good reason. Every mainline game is at the very least a good game.

Would Atlus really just waste the SMT IV engine?

>>259131139
No one should ever buy a console for one game. Just saying bashing SMTxFE because it's on the Wii U isn't stupid.

>>259131567
>Nocturne fags

>>259131567
I do agree with you that it's stupid to bash any of the mainline games. However I do agree with a lot of people that says IV is the weakest of the 4 games.

>>259131109
i always found shinji fuckable

>>259131139
I think you're missing a point of what he's saying. You can hate SMT x FE all you want, but hating it just because it's on Wii U is stupid.

>>259132212
Agree. I really need to watch those movies. Heard they are pretty good.

>>259131950
I would rate them

Nocturne
IV
Strange Journey(?)
II
I

>>259132410
Only 1 and 2 though.

>>259131604
I wouldn't be surprised if SMT4 ran on a heavily modified EO4 engine, since SJ ran on EO's DS engine.

>>259131950
I loved IV but I feel like I can agree with that. As a game, I would put it above 1 but it's weaker than itin terms of story. It just seamed like patched together events if that makes sense. Plus there's the DLC and $50 price take. The former has no place in any Atlus game and the latter is silly.

>>259132434
I haven't played SJ yet. Heard really good things however.

Me it's
II
Nocturne
I
IV

>>259132696
The story being weak was done intentionally so you'd have to find it yourself through NPCs. The DLC is stupid though, I agree. And gameplay wise, even if demon fusing is way better, Nocturne has a better combat system.

>>259132576
Is 3 (I think that was the one that came out) that bad?
>>259132696
I just felt IV was so fucking boring. SMT 1 felt more pieced together. Not great but better than IV.

>>259129640
But Drive had some good music.

>>259133147
I feel you can have a solid story while putting yourself as the MC. It also wasn't the story was weak but it was boring. As soon as you got to Tokyo I felt like I was just stumbling around looking for something to cling to but nothing came.

>>259133152
I hated it, don't know people's general idea about it.
But I thought it was as bad as Eva can be.

I didn't much care for Nocturne's story (mostly because the world felt nothing like Tokyo) and I love SMT IV's battles for how much faster they happen. I also like that the mazes aren't as ballbusting and I have a map at alltimes.

>>259133612
I'll still watch it in any case. I really haven't even touched Eva in almost 10 years. I feel so fucking old.

>>259133147
The NPC thing was great, I wasn't knocking that. In fact, I'd like it if more games had you go out of the way to have you piece the whole thing together. The problem is it just feels like an episodic tv show. One where only a few episodes contribute to the greater plot. Sorta like Cowboy Bebop.

>>259133858
My main problem with Nocturne is how you never spend time with your friends. At least in SMT 1 you spend enough time to feel they are friends. In Nocturne you only talk to them for 5 minutes and than you hardly ever talk to them. You never really build any connection to them which really hurts it in my mind.

It was a really strange way to advance the plot.

>>259120130
Brad? You know what time it is

>>259134375

Now that you mention it, I liked the episodes of Cowboy Bebop where they just dicked around (Toys in the Attic, Mushroom Samba) much more than the ones related to their past or the stuff going on with Vicious.

Maybe that's why I liked SMTIV's plot so much, it's pretty much "Find the black samurai while dicking around in Tokyo, then dick around some more"

How is SMT dead? SMT IV just came out a year ago and sold the same as Persona Q and P4G did in Japan. I don't understand what you guys want. Do you want this to be a yearly franchise? Stop fucking overreacting.

>>259135513
I have an idea on why Persona is a much more popular series and that's how both take their games.

Persona is more uplifting where you feel you are changing things for the better.

SMT is way more depressing in how things go. Where people you care about go more and more to their respected extremes. And the game is all about punishing going to the extreme.

I didn't know this was in the game until I went back and listened to the OST

It's a psychological thing with orange juice that people still debate about to this day.

>>259136796
I honestly don't think even he knows how to interpret the story. He actually just went insane near the start of Eva and no one seem to have to balls to stop him.

Why don't Atlus ever get Yuzo Koshiro on a SMT game so he can finally surpass Streets of Rage?

>>259136202
Both are really fucking good, but p3 edges out, in my opinion. Yumi Kawamura is just far better than that p4 singer.

He already surpassed Streets of Rage long ago.

I wish I liked playing SMT/Persona games when P4 first came out. I just came here for Japan Time.

I thought I was the only one that noticed. He felt more like the main character the the main character. At least let other's have some of the spotlight.

Shutup Tatsuya, at least you don't have to reincarnated every time you die to witness the destruction of the world over and over again

>>259139528
All I got was retarded, unlikeable characters, horrid dungeons, lack of gameplay, repetition, a bad combat system and catchy music.

So how are you guys on the US server liking the new avatar appearance system?
Oh, wait....

>>259139528
fuck you P3P was fine
I didn't get to play FES until after

SMT's problem is that it's niche as all fuck. It just doesn't have the selling power Persona does. ATLUS wants money. Do the math.

And I'm not saying this as a Purseowner fag. Currently playing Nocturne and I just beat Hellbiker. Fucking loving the setting.

>>259140206
The games sell fine in japan as far as I know.

>>259140206
But PQ, SMT4 and P4G all sold about the same average in the first week. Atlus focuses more on Persona since it's more marketable.

>>259140404
The games sell fine in the US too. There is nothing wrong with SMT. Persona is just even more popular.

>>259136005
He looks like Sakurai

>>259123504
fucking Nips, hogging all the cool shit.

I'd like to see SMT IV's neutral path get an anime.

>>259140856
It'll probably be adapted by Seiji Kishi and it will probably be a rushed piece of shit like all his other game adaptations.
