I'm not really liking the new character's design, she doesn't really mesh well with the rest of SJ. I just hope she's not Marie-tier bad. Besides that, pretty hyped.

>>15378298
Very. Its my favourite SMT by far.

You know Im really sick of seing P4 fags whine about Marie like any of the other characters where at all good to start with. At least Marie had a problem that actually constituted as worthwhile drama and wasn't blown off faster than it was introduced.

>>15378298

I miss when SMT humans were pale with rigid facial features. This artstyle isn't bad, but it just feels so generic when you compare it to the old SMT designs.

>>15378675
>I'm not really liking the new character's design, she doesn't really mesh well with the rest of SJ
Thats the fucking point or do you mean to tell me that humans have working rayguns or shit like that?

>>15378690
She gets shit because she's a completely unnecessary addition to the game and has an awful character gimmick.

>>15378709
I'm still kind of baffled that they had Doi do redesigns when they're basically just the originals but much less detailed.

>>15378709
The only I don't like is Gore, I liked his old one, especially when he became Uber Gore since his chiseled face would just be another way to show his being superior

I noticed they did that with the battle sprites in Persona Golden. It's like they go through and erase all the details from the designs.

>>15378718

She can also almost entirely be ignored and if you're gonna complain about shitty character gimmicks you might as well bitch about the rest of the characters too because they all have shitty gimmicks

>>15378298

I wonder if she's one of the Terminators from the future like Rasputin in Raidou 1.

>>15378798
Given how it works she is more likely to be from a previous civilization that got swallowed up

>>15378718
I think she mostly gets shit on because she gets a lot of focus in spite of not being a new Persona user. If she had been an extra playable user I don't think she'd get nearly as much hate.

>>15378701
DEEP Strange Journey is a remake and update of the original game. Apocalypse/Final was a side-story/spin-off to IV. From what I understand the update for the 3DS will have:

>fully animated cutscenes
>full voice acting (including the Protagonist by Jun Hirose)
>new sectors/dungeon areas
>using the SMT IV's game engine
>new demon redesigns as well as character art by DOI
>new routes and endings
>new character in OP's image is named Alex and she seems to be some kind of mercenary or bounty hunter sent to kill/capture the Protagonist

Lots of fun stuff. Atlus tweeted they're already about 70% complete with the game's development so far.

Atlus tries to add something to each modern port now, ranging from a great addition [P2's extra scenario by the original writer, FeMC in P3P] to a crap one [Marie, possibly Alex given the context she's presented in.]

>>15379015
Because instead of having a 1:1 port they try to put more shit for the fans to have fun, look how every single of their remakes added more stuff to the game

So the only people bitching are retards who can't look at the good stuff the put

>>15379180
The best remakes though are Devil Survivor 1: Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. I did like P1's stuff but couldn't manage through the PSP versions of P2.

>>15378298
>anime cutscenes
Nice.
>giant demons fighting
Oh shit.

Why are smt games only on Nintendo consoles? I would rather have this than Persona

>>15379404
Because MegaTen games have a core demographic following with Nintendo for ages and Fatlus won't risk alienating their Persona fandom from deviating any of that franchise from home consoles.

DeSu 1 did extremely well on the DS.
SJ did pretty well on the DS despite being released at the same time the remakes of Pokemon Silver and Gold as well as Persona 3 Portable came out.
DeSu 2 did very well.

They gambled on remaking and updating DeSu 1 with Overclocked and that went extremely well. Then they did it again with DeSu 2 through Record Breaker, which didn't do as good as they hoped. Then they repeated that with Soul Hackers, SMT IV, and SMT IV - Apocalypse.

They got the message. Mainline games and spin-offs similar to the mainline for portable Nintendo consoles, Persona series for the Sony systems. We aren't going to have another Nocturne or Raidou ever again because Fatlus needs to pander this way to survive.

>>15379404
Probably because A LOT more people own a Nintendo DS or 3DS/New 3DS then all the people who own a PS3 and Vita put together combined? Its 2017, no excuse not to have a DS/3DS its virtually a SMT simulator at this point:

>Devil Survivor 1
>Strange Journey
>Devil Survivor 2
>Devil Survivor: Overclocked

>>15379563
Vending machine meme with Spess Marine is dumb anyway. If you had a STR, GUN, or MAG build you did almost as much damage as most high level demons.

Also really don't see how Arthur would be involved in combat missions anyway. He's the main AI to support the Investigation Team and physically hard built into the Red Sprite's structure on the command deck. IIRC they had to separate the other half of the ship in the Neutral Route so he could sacrifice himself with the Cosmic Eggs to destroy the Schwarzwelt.

He is an absolute bro either way.

It just sounds like you're pure garbage at games whether it'd be turn-based or not. The Raidou games (as neat as they are) goes to show that if the series had real-time combat, it'd be even more simplistic.

Nah, I just specifically fail at and can't stand traditional turn based combat, I don't like gameplay that consists mashing the X button through menus and attack animations to use the same attack 90% of the time because everything else is useless, then pray to the random number god, then get killed and have to go grind some more because I made the grave mistake of actually trying to progress through the game instead redoing the same incredibly repetitive dungeons over and over again to gain one level an hour.

The only turn based combat system I've ever liked was in Valkyria Chronicles.

Typical turn based combat can turn games I otherwise loved, such as Xenogears and Persona 3, into such a chore to play that I just don't care to finish them.

So you don't like games, is what you're saying. Good to know.

>>15380938
It must be hard to suck at something as simple as turn-based RPGs.

>>15380938
Persona 3 and later and SMT Nocturne and later (aside from Strange Journey) are heavily based on their elemental weakness system.

As long as you're fusing good demons and going for the right skills, you shouldn't need to grind. Although fusing good demons in the original Persona 3/4 and Nocturne can take many repeated tries since the skills of the components are randomized in the result. Still, that's also not even an issue if you're playing newer games like Persona 4 Gold or SMT IV/Apocalypse.

To be fair the game getting an updated remake is fine regardless of the new OC because the biggest issues people had who weren't familiar with the franchise were:

>route endings for Chaos and Law being just different colors of each other outside of the boss battles (Zelenin + Gore or Jimenez + Mem Aleph) between those two
>lack of animated cutscenes
They're adding tons of new features ignoring Alex (the new girl), so I'm hopeful that as long as the core game remains unchanged, the new material will help boost it. Maybe even to the point of a direct sequel given Atlus did similar before with Devil Survivor 1 to 2 and then decided to the remake/updates as an afterthought.

>>15383026

I'm trying to be optimistic but I look at this character who even visually clashes with everybody else and I don't know.

The only issue I have with her design is the headphones or whatever those things are supposed to be that cover her head on the sides. Doi is doing a strong effort of maintaining a style and design similar to Kaneko's stuff. The 50's style generic aesthetic with her gun is a wonderful tongue-and-cheek nod to the motif in SJ playing pastiche with classic western sci-fi nods. I mean Arthur himself is a proxy to Hal, the Demonica suit helmets look like Cybermen heads, etc...

Only thing that bothers me about Alex is that she is going to play a VERY big role in the updated remake in Deep Strange Journey and that her headphones kind of sit more at home in something like Persona then mainline MegaTen but I'm willing to give notYukkiko a chance. Strange Journey was what got me into MegaTen along with Nocturne/III, and Devil Survivor 1, its bar none my favorite title.

And maybe they'll explain why SJ Protagonist/Speesh Marine/Tadano wasn't in IV - Apocalypse/

>>15383049
I like this but whoever wrote spin-off clearly doesn't have much familiarity with SMT. SJ is basically SMT 3.5 in a nutshell.

On the one hand, I like how that avoids cheese. On the other hand. it's really goddamn annoying to spend 30 minutes refreshing a triple fusion just to get Boost, Amp, and an ultimate Elemental attack together with SP regen or XP share. I'm glad P5 lets you pick what to transfer over.

I totally love her raygun, and the weird bodysuit she has. It's pretty much just the headphones that look weird.

I loved SJ so I'm looking forward to this, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it all again. Sector Grus, man....

I have played Strange Journey. I know what the suits are.
I barely ever registered Demonicas as "mech" material, but sure, they are "powered suits".

It really just felt like a hand-wave for the rpg elements, since it was mostly just a soft body suit with a helmet and some harnesses.
>Aside from the hard bits, the suit itself is soft and can be tied around the waist
It's easy to forget that the Demonica is supposed to be a "power suit", hence my initial confusion.

Thanks for clarifying, I guess.

Power armors are /m/. Also you have it wrong, the suit requires the combat vest to be activated hence why Jimenez in his Soil/Demon form doesn't have it after he merges with Bugaboo.

>>15391276
Its kind of disingenuous to call it a "hand-wave" when every single game that operates on the suspension of disbelief does the same thing. Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, etc...all of these are just vehicles to transport the player into understanding why their characters can do things that are beyond the realm or scope of normal human capacities or abilities. Also to add, the DEMONICA suit isn't just a "soft body suit" considering the combat vest and helmet are the other components for its AI to function as well as the strength enhancement and HAZMAT power of the suit come into working.

Hence why you never see a single soldier or crew member on the UN Investigation Team ever wandering around outside of their ships in just their body suits sans their helmets or vests with exception to Jimenez and Zelenin who are both at that point no longer human.

I'm hoping Doi might make more Toku inspired superhero demons because of Marvel movies.

Like Marvel Thor inspired Ultraman Odin.

There are none besides Alex and other then Gore and Jimenez being a step down with Doi's style, everything else is fine. Do you know who did IV - Apocalypse? The new faces at Atlus, not Kaneko, not Yamai, etc...

Chill your tits if you think the remake is going to be bad, everything so far is fine. Demon CO-OP system remains, they brought back the original level/dungeon designer for the remake, Meguro is here again, full voice acting, etc...

Or did you think Devil Survivor - Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 - Record Breaker ruined the base games as well?

>>15391921
P5's combat is already as shitty as P4's so I don't know why you'd be freaking about DSJ's which is likely to remain the same as the original game's from what's been revealed so far anyway.

>>15391933
Yamai was still director, he was more lenient.
If Alex is related to new end, it depends on how they mesh that shit in with the regular plot, was probably easier with Overclocked to do so and RB had an alternate storyline, no? but all I want is them to mainly fix Law and Chaos ends if they're going out of ther way.
Hell gameplay vids would be nice but that may not be for a bit i guess.

Its a power armor though. Jimenez outright tells you an AI and computer system are built into the DEMONICA suits that assist with its movement as well as amplify and increase both the user's durability, endurance, and physical strength. Even the image you posted is Jimenez fused with Bugaboo AFTER Captain Jack catches him trying to break into his squadron's ship and he's taken out of his armored suit.

This is kind of a really bad leap in mental gymnastics.

>>15391461
Buy the second one, he is leagues better than the first, but yeah the games are really fun

>>15392993
Ain't a meme if it's true man.
Mainline isn't special in itself really either. Press turn itself makes it a battle of hitting weaknesses for every non gimmick boss and usually is better than persona with difficulty and dungeon design. Being more focused on the dungeon exploring rather than more gating with the sim aspects is more enjoyable.

>>15393123
>Ain't a meme if its true man.
Except its not, he's right. Those three builds are the most viable ones for SJ protagonist and elevate the player well above any nonsense about "vending machine" crap.

>Mainline isn't special in itself really either.
Go play IV or IV - Apocalypse and compare it to P4 or P5's gameplay mechanics and trying saying that again, ignoring SJ and Nocturne. You don't really understand what you are claiming at all from what I can see.

>>15393123
GUN, STR, and MAG builds again prove that vending machine claim wrong though. Also, inheriting and innate demon skills as well as resistances, fusions, and alignments play a huge role in the proper series and are vastly simplified as well as several characteristics of it removed entirely for later Persona games.

>>15393123

Demons felt more reliable though, Gore was wrong.
Feels good though to sit back and just set up a +3 boosted attack,

>>15393474
>Demons felt more reliable.
I mean that's only half-true because like others have said the are three very viable builds in SJ that has you doing almost as much damage as them without the vending machine nonsense being nonsensically pushed.

>Gore was wrong.
Nah.

>>15393253
I take it back for 4/IVA, you're 100% right on that but other times you're just going to get more smaller and stronger selection as you level further on and just press confirm/cancel for your select skills.
I forget, MAG worked on your gun/element based skills, how much did STR influence it or did it just affect regular attack and gun type damage? Found it annoying when my strength stat was large but then a lot of the later bosses were resistant or null to phys/gun. Was fun to unload on Maya with gun though.
Honestly I hope they fix demon distribution for SJ since they are adding more demons. Maybe give death flies a return?

It doesn't matter how they look, that's subjective so everyone can see things differently but when one of the story characters who an expert on the suits explains that it has a built in artificial intelligence system to help the user be able to move and has powered movement, it qualifies by any rational as a power armor.

>>15392993
>Aside from the retarded story even after Scooby-Do Adventures and Crawling in My Skin that were P3 and P4? Its just basic shit.
It was leaked by staff that the story is incomplete. The last arc was made up at the last minute. They were going to go with something edgier but decided that they wanted to keep the P4 fans who want their happy endings.

>>15393773

Persona peaked at 2; let's not kid ourselves here. Style can only do so much to cover a meh at best plot.

>>15390541

All paths except maybe humanity were trash in this game.
Chaos were a bunch of treehuggers and Law a bunch of stuck up prudes.

>>15394820

That's about how it usually goes. Chaos can never work because it'll just eventually snap back round to being Law after a few hundred or so cycles of everyone killing each other and Law can never work because YHVH just doesn't give two shits about humans and would rather them just be faith robots like Metatron.

>>15394820
Man the new one with demon/space Yukiko is probably going to be better on the sole reason of not being as retarded as those.
Unless it's a white end.
>>15394792

>>15394845

Nocturne true demon ending was pretty cool tho, killed the world and didnt gave a shit.

>>15394820
>Chaos were a bunch of treehuggers
Chaos ending in SJ was literally turning humanity into a demonic species who were only obsessed with freedom in a world ruled by survival of the fittest. Where are you getting treehugger from this?

Also their redoing all the endings and adding new ones along with sepearate routes into the game so its all going to be further expanded upon.

>>15394845
Chaos ending is canon in SMT II so they can work. Also both SJ and Devil Survivor I as well as SMT IV indicate YHVH was becoming more benevolent again following the events of II and III.

>>15394852
They aren't going to add a White ending because that was one of the dumbest things about IV and this game was essentially Kaneko's pet project and the old guard won't let that happen.

>>15394897
Are they going to dig up scrapped concepts from orignal SJ and create something out of that if they wanted to keep true to them?
Would be nice if they redid scrapped concept
I thought they were only adding one ending?

>>15394909
What scrapped concept? All we have so far from dev diaries by Atlus and the Famitsu reveal is that "new routes, new character, new endings", I imagine Alex is going to have more then one ending with different consequences and the 3DS remake for the anniversary for Megaten will have the original ones at least updated to be more different from each other besides blue vs red.

>>15394897

>Chaos ending of II is canon

I'm gonna need a source on this.

>>15394970
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USPfmvQnpZ8

>>15394970
Only thing canon is YHVH gets seemingly slain in II by Aleph committing the ultimate sin with the help of Lucifer and Satan. Satan then turns to die and ceases to exist since YHVH is the source of his existence. YHVH survives this through the Great Will but is greatly weakened, hence why a reincarnation of Aleph is shown dying in an infinite death loop across the Amala (multiverse) as YHVH's curse on him for attacking him. SJ implies the TDE ending in Nocturne with the Demi-Fiend leading the forces of hell for Lucifer against heaven and the Great Will has further weakened and damaged the Great Will/YHVH.

That's why the Demiurge when attempting to reverse this after seeing humanity's power and his weakening influence was easily ripped apart and imprisoned when coming to mankind's aid when Mem Aleph restarted the Schwarzwelt. So I guess while I was wrong with II, III and especially SJ and IV/Apocalypse indicate that was the most likely ending in Nocturne.

>>15394909
I kind of doubt the new endings will be related to anything in the original, considering how one of the new demons is freaking Maria (well, assuming it's the actual Maria this time, it uses the same design from SMT Nine, where it was just the name of an artificial AI 'demon').

>>15395035
They already linked NINE to the greater mainline franchise overall story when you had Yaddabloath reformed as the Demiurge in Strange Journey from it.

>Deep Strange Journey does so well we might be lucky enough to get a direct sequel

Not gonna lie one of the reasons I love this game out of all the main series SMT games is because I'm a sucker for the DEMONICA suit and demons vs space tech is always a fun concept.

>voiced Asherah

>>15395063
Strange Journey is just a really nice game, in terms of gameplay, setting, and overall story.

But I'm very biased since a lot of things in that game clicked with me.

From the Schwarzwelt mystery to how all the different factions played out within.

Plus Demonicas really are the coolest, aren't they?

>>15378298
Will it be localized though? I fucking love SMT:SJ. I don't want to miss out on this.

>>15396407
>>15397225
SJ did big globally, bigger then it did domestically as I recall so I'm pretty sure the remake will be as well. It would fly in the face of everything for Atlus to not release it in the west. The only question remains how long the localization will take with the western dubbing for it.

>>15397254
I'm hoping Atlus' decision to release P5 dual-audio encourages them to just release it with original audio.

>>15395063
Call me a casual, but the first SMT related game I ever played was Devil Survivor. The mechanics were okay and even addicting at times, but I hated every character in that game. None of these teenagers acted like a normal human being. They'd see a dude getting lynched and go all "ugh, so NOT cool." And on the flip side, there would be like 19 year olds with god complexes going "die, you human scum!" It just didn't mesh with me at all.

Had very low expectations of SMT:SJ because of that, and much to my surprise it was a weird inter-dimensional space opera with some not-UN soldiers. And demons. The tribal chanting in the ost really sold the alien atmosphere. Fucking great game, with an awesome blend of Western/Japanese aesthetic.

>>15397319
Yeah, Devil Survivor 1 isn't well-known for it's characters. 2 is better in that regard, but they're very Anime.

If you haven't already, you should really check out Soul Hackers for the 3ds, or any of the PS2 SMTs if you can manage it.

>>15396373
At least Kanekofags recommend more than two fucking games that are not some forgettable season anime plot and characters that are milked to fucking hell and back. At least they tell you to go back and play the others.

>>15397327
I don't see how anybody can honestly go back to 1 and still call it good at this point, even with the PSP release. Granted I started with 2, so maybe it was really good when it was released, but I just can't stand to play it. The story is cool at least.

>>15397334
P1 is rough but it has interesting ideas. Its really interesting to play as a kinda "seeing how they start" kinda way.

I just wish there was a version with good music and a good localization. Fuck it, can someone just fucking translate the JP PS1 version?

>>15397359
The grid felt wonky, but I can appreciate the fact that they tried something different with the gameplay, even if it didn't end up staying in for the later games. I do have an issue with them sticking to first person dungeon crawling though, just because I think a game that emphasizes the characters should have the characters on-screen most of the time.

>>15397325
Devil Survivor 1 had a better story and setting. Devil Survivor 2 had a better cast and characters. I enjoy both and wish we got Devil Survivor 3 but a remake of Strange Journey is awesome either way.

>>15397372
The first person was more of a call back to mainline seeing as it is literally titled as a side story.

>>15397383
Yeah I get that, but I still don't agree with the decision. The lunar phases should've definitely stayed. Even though 3 and 4 run on a calendar, they should've come up with a way to keep that mechanic instead of restricting stronger enemies to rainy days like 4 did.

>>15397378
I really wish the SMT x FE crossover had been an SRPG like DeSu. Tokyo Mirage Sessions was pretty great, but I really wanted to see how Atlus was going to handle the proper crossover.

What exactly is wrong with the game? I got friends literally begging me to buy it. Did it fuck up somehow?

>>15404755
Not that its a terrible game but its not even the best Megaten game to come out in the last 5 years much less 10 so calling it objectively one of the very best in said time period is kind of ridiculous.

>>15404783
Dude, that happens each time a good game comes out. If it's an alright game that does some things right, it's a ten. If it has flaws, regardless of overall quality, it's a zero. People deal in absolutes; this ain't new. But, with that being said, I just want to know what it did wrong before I bought it.

>>15404791
I don't think either way it justifies hyperbole but my issue with P5 anyway is the combat is still pretty bare bones compared to IV and IV - Apocalypse, can't really customize your teams Personas, P5's dungeons are a step down from PQ's own ones, and the story is kind of nonsensical even by Persona's own standards.

Fun game but nothing special.

Wrong.
>Demi-Fiend died punching Lucifer
Extremely wrong. SJ even indicates TDE route is most likely route the Demi-Fiend took leading hell against heaven. IV outright also backs this as well.

>>15407875
He's talking about the SMTIV Apocalypse DLC with the past heroes. He's right about the first three, although Flynn is wrong. He says that he was gathering hope for the chalice but was killed by Jonathan/Merkabah activating the reactor. So, he was going neutral, not law.

>>15407885
Also, that DLC suggests that the whole "Lucifer is just a YHVH trap" set up applies to other universes too, not only Apocalypse. It's said that all of them died due to YHVH manipulating events to stop people who could go against his plans, so Demi-Fiend being killed by Lucifer is very suspicious.

>>15407896
But TDE Hitoshura is helped by Lucifer. It makes no sense for Lucy to kill him.

>>15407885
>>15407995
Apocalypse/Final is literally a what if scenario set during the final story events of IV. Its interruption of events from the previous stories in I through III is extremely suspicious. On top of the fact Stephen literally using terms like "another timeline" implying these are not the same versions as the true protagonists.

>>15407995
That's the point. According to SMTIVA, Lucifer is actually a YHVH creation meant to fool people into thinking that he's an opposite force to YHVH, but he actually exists to maintain YHVH's order and his insurgence is always defeated.

Most people take that set up to be true only for the Lucifer of SMTIV(A)'s world, but that DLC has Lucifer killing the Demi-Fiend as an event prepared by YHVH, which suggests he has influence over other versions of Lucifer too.

>>15408011
>On top of the fact Stephen literally using terms like "another timeline" implying these are not the same versions as the true protagonists.
That has nothing to do with SMTIVA DLC though. The Tokyo hit by Thor's nukes that eventually becomes the futuristic Tokyo Millenium obviously isn't the same timeline as the underground Tokyo from SMTIV, for example.

>>15408029
None of them are the same Tokyo/universe after SMT II. Nocturne isn't set in the same world as SMT II, SJ isn't set in the same world as SMT III. IV isn't set in the same world as either Nocturne or Strange Journey.

Do you remember the Amala?

That's why.

>>15407995
>test man to see if he's good enough to lead demon army against Great Will/Axiom
>dude fails and dies
Makes 100% sense

>>15408083
Demi-Fiend never failed dummy. Reason why the Great Will/YHVH is weakened in SJ is strongly indicated Lucifer and Demi-Fiend succeeded in at least harming Ed Bighead further in the events before SJ.

>>15408092
I thought that was the mothers of the schwarwvelt

>>15408101
The Mothers were powered up because the Schwarzwelt is the homeland of demon kind. On top of that, YHVH as the Demiurge was already weakened before he showed up there referring to man's lack of faith and losing touch with him (implied to be his tyrannical nature as YHVH in SMT I and II).

Cool, a megaten thread. Quite the good change compared with dealing with persona babbies.

Kinda wish playstation consoles also got all the cool stuff, all they get is fucking persona with its fucking unique snowflake MC that is the only one that can get different personae. As somebody who started with Eternal Punishment as my first megaten game (later followed by emulation of the first SMT), I don't like the direction persona took starting with P3.

>>15408125
>not playing the PS1 ports of SMT 1&2
Look man, you just have to accept that Mainline is back at Nintendo and hope other spinoffs are on PS4 too.

>>15408132
Not him but I'm fine with everything else being non the DS/3DS. Like others have said time and time again here, the success of Devil Survivor series, SMT IV and Final/Apocalypse, remake of Soul Hackers, and now again a remake of SJ just kind of shows Nintendo and Atlus are aware fans not into the Persona series will stick with the handhelds.

Sure I'm loving also replaying Nocturne and DDS series on my PS3 but I'm not going to get a fucking Switch to play SMT HD.

>>15408132
The music is shit in the PS1 ports.

sMT2's mostly better than SNES.

>>15408132

I guess there's always emulation in that case. Surely 3DS emulation will reach perfection soon and switch emulation shouldn't be too hard once they crack it considering how easy emulation of nintendo consoles was so far.

I heard a rumor that P5's success will see a remake of the Raidou and Nocturne games.

>>15408287
What waifus and new ends will be given?

>>15408287

>Raidou

I wish. Raidou is my favorite megaten main character and seeing a further improved version of the combat system seen in Raidou 2 for both entries would be pure gold.

>>15408298
But you already have Pixie and Moh Shivvu in Raidou and Nocturne?

>>15408287
I wish the Raidou games played like KH.

>>15408298
Pixie best girl, I remember bringing her to the Lucifer fight in TDE because 3 slots is just enough to give her debilitate+absorb phys+victory cry/any random shit you want and make her a good support unit.

>>15408599

I dunno if that would be for good or bad, but in my opinion that would clash with the setting of Raidou. Sure, wacky crazy shit happens, but ultimately demons were demons and humans were humans (with some magical/spiritual powers)

If suddenly Raidou could jump several meters, double jump, use his sword as boomerang, cut buildings in half with just a sword slice and shoots giant energy beams from his gun or sword and etc, that would feel rather weird.

>>15408657
Raidou isn't anywhere close to being a normal human anymore then protagonist in Strange Journey is with the DEMONICA suit on or the Demi-Fiend ends up.

>>15408287
They better include this on the PS3 as well as the PS4 then.

>>15408657
Well, how about making it a straight up action game? Kinda like Devil May Cry, maybe?

>>15411438

That would be more feasible. Raidou has enough style to pull all those fast moves
