>people will meme that Eridanus was hard
So they released the boxart? Looks alright.

It's not hardcore, dark or brutal unless you've only played games on nintendo consoles.

If this is a remake, what are the chances some good person will translate the new parts, fix the translation and release an English text patch soon?

>>382993004

It's the difference between remaking a film and putting it on Blu Ray instead of DVD. It's an entirely different scenario.

Good heavens. To think that I would see the day our glorious SMT reduced to mere Persona bullshit. I mean why did they include that girl with the water gun to the game? She looks retarded and out of place. This better not be another Personafied SMT game like Apocucklypse.

>>382998983

SMT IV's angels looked fucking shit.

>>382998983
you never cared about the franchise before smt4

>>382999071
Yeah. Mostly because they look nothing like angels. Weirdly enough Merkabah does despite being the same guest designer

>>382994968
Where can I preorder this? Is it on amazon japan?

>>382999173
angels are always supposed to look fucky, the problem is that they are crazily overdetailed without having any definition. It's especially bad on the low res 3DS display.

>>382999126

>>382999424

>>382997958
I wonder why there are so many remakes on the 3ds of DS games. The generational difference between the machines doesn't add much.

I already know the answer, it's money.

>>382999542
Atlus Weeb audience is steadily growing more and more after the slow burn on P4 and the complete explosion of p5. Porting foreward other successful SMT games and drawing spotlight to them on a popular console will also help sell their "flagship" SMT that'll come out on the switch in a year or two

kaneko is more important in atlus now than he ever was as an artist, he's the producer for most of the franchise
The reason why they made new art for the game is because of the higher resolution and kaneko retired as an artist, I prefer the old art too but assuming that there is a conspiracy against the man who produced the game itself is retarded

Nocturne was 14 years ago though, I think it's a bit late to call people who have been playing for 14 years 'babbies'
Though you can immediately recognize people who started with 4 because they will always post the wah wah smt is le persona now meme, because smt4 was the first one to have a huge focus on dialogue and characters and used its "dark storyline" as a selling point, before then numbered smt games always had basic stories and minimalistic dialogue while the spin-offs were more narrative-oriented
Meanwhile people who started with Nocturne can be recognized for shitting on any game that isn't Nocturne

>>383003627
She probably belongs to some alternate reality within the belt, which would make it fitting.

>>383003627
I don't know she kind of has a similiar face style as Zelenin and I don't see how her having a special suit and mask is supposed to be a bad thing.

>>382993432
At no point was that an issue for me I died once and lost 20 minutes of progress it was more of a minor inconvenience than anything else

>>383003732
>>383003807
I'm assuming she'll have her own separate story path anyway because that's what they did with all of the remakes until this point

>>382999424
Your "first" game has Beth, the handout girl who instant swears loyalty to the protagonist . Or maybe Hiroko slobbing over MC's dick is more your fetish?

Either way while 4A came on too strong, ALL the games have this crap.

>>383003094
I'd be fine with that

Switch version of Imagine as well why not

>>383003921
DEEP neutral.
That said, I hope they rework law a bit so it has a final boss that's not also neutral's.

>>383003958
>ALL the games have this crap.
SJ didn''t, the only female with a sprite was Zelenin, and you kill her more often than not.

>>383004065
Anthony says hi. And MC was still treated like a god on his feet.

>>383003521
I'm more bugged by Jack and Ryan being there honestly, they're literal whos in the plot with barely any general relevance since Jack dies after one sector and Ryan gets mindraped by Zelenin not too long after that, might as well put the three wise men. or give Mastema or Louisa more space.

>>383003405
>>383003627
>smiley mask
>out of place
I agree with the other points but this I have to disagree, look at the demonica itself. Similar smiley face, refers to that. Even more noticeable with the black variants with Jack and IV's Yuriko.
>>382994526
Money. Cheaper to do that to a Sprite based game.
Plus SMT got ports and expanded ports with 1&2 on GBA and PS1, or Soul hackers on Saturn(?) and PS1 to 3DS.
But Nocturne in the EU/US was an expanded edition with fiends and TDE. Not a port however.
Persona 3 and 4 also got a port to handhelds
Though ps4/ ports of Catherine, Raidou, DDS, P4G etc would be nice if they weren't shitty PSN ones with bugs and freezes but basic rereleases.

>>383004124
>Anthony says hi.
A blatant, spriteless side character you don't even need to talk to.
>And MC was still treated like a god on his feet.
That is actually all SMT, so I concede that, he's always the one to make the choice.

I don't mind the new artstyle.

>>383004252
So just because it's side content it doesn't count? Come on son. It's still there. That's like saying Pixie in Nocturne isn't a cute side character because you immediately kick it out of your party at Park. You still interact with Anthony a little even if you decide not to do ANY side content.

>>383004715
>So just because it's side content it doesn't count?
It's side content about a guy so pathetic not even demons would take him.

>>383004842

>>383004842
You're still courting them for him and on a related note SJ has demon talk just like the other games. Plus Lucifer is a bare foot little girl in that game.

>>382992481

>remake
It's an enhanced port.

>>382994526
>remake
They are LITERALLY enhanced ports.
Even Soul Hackers was still just an enhanced port and not a remake.

Anyway the reason they don't do it for the PS2 games is because they are literally available as PS2 Classics on PSN through emulation with Native resolution on PS3 and 2x Native Res (~1280x960) on PS4 so there is no need to port them.

>>383008451
>To be fair I heard those had more bugs, mainly EU copy, or is that a different version?
Just the EU versions if you mean the PS2 Classics since they're Ghostlight's PAL versions which had fucked up PAL conversion (they didn't convert the Hz output properly so the games flat out run ~18% slower than NTSC).
Bugs are just emulation bugs on Sony's part since PS2 Classics are literally just emulation.
US PSN versions are fine though.

>>382998826
Yeah. Note the darker jumpsuits.

I'd post my settings but they're heavliy changed since I'm emulating another game, Chulip, and unfortunately I didn't save 'em and I think pcsx2 wiki is down. PCSX2 depends heavily on your system anyway, different systems will get different results with the exact same settings so you gotta tweak them according to your needs. You should be able to find the correct settings for your system with trial and error, just use the latest git version of the emulator.

The Hunter association in Apocalypse is a literal, straight rip off of the Hunter association in MM, except that in MM you hunt mexican cyborgs and criminals, Akira's human design is basically the same exact visual design of the iconic Male Hunter class from Metal Max, same with Nozomi which is basically a patchwork of various MM heroines like the Soldier Girl from MM and the Hunter Girl from MM2:R, both MM and SMTIV:A are set in postapocalyptic worlds too.

Nips have a massive hard on for compact little pocket adventures and yeah they're fun but I just wish these games would go beyond procedurally generated corridors and be more ambitious.
SMT's tone and world would go amazing with the caliber of P5's palaces.

That's persona 3/4, SMT are set dungeon designs, though quality can be argued.

SMT HD coming to Switch AND PS4
Exhibit B: http://personacentral.com/rumor-atlus-job-listing-sequel-to-4-ps4/

>>383015847
It's labelled "HD Project" and not "Switch project"
It'll be multiplat, especially given it's Unreal 4

>>383016938
Note the wording:

"The company’s biggest hit, with strong brand power, has had numbered releases up to 4, and its sequel will also be released for the PS4"

"Up to 4", the only Atlus series that has 4 mainline numbered entries so far is SMT.
"ALSO be released for the PS4"
Thus implies it's coming for another platform but will ALSO come to PS4.

Ergo it's SMT HD.

The dialogue is obnoxious and I skipped through some of it because it was so repetitive, but the past games barely had any dialogue at all, smt4 is the only one that focused on characters & story, 4A was thoroughly enjoyable as a videogame but I guess modern fans play these games as profound visual novels with some time wasting gameplay they don't really care about in between

And that was completely fine, seems the one who wants to feel deep and mature is you.

>gabriel is a woman

just why?

>>383023320
Did you just assume Gabriel's gender just because he has tits.

>>383023320
She always was, the old SMT1 artworks, like all of "Early Kaneko" are pretty bad.

>>383023223
>80's Angels
Keep on dreaming.

>>383023320
Oy vey did you just assume Xir's gender?

>>383023427
SMT4 Angel guest designs were so shit they didn't even bother making Doi redraw them for Apocalypse and they've been completely dumped in Persona 5 and SMT HD.

>>383023410
>>383023509
did i fuck up? am i an heretic now?

>>383023424
I thought she was male in 1, Gabriel doesn't have the boob plate in 1 and got newer pre digital artwork for 2, I think sprite was same or different.

>>383023120
Last I checked it's the SMTIV engine not the EO1 engine. Fucking mongoloid.

>>383023954
Sprites in SMT1 were just recolors with different hair aside from Michael (due to him being the final boss). Every single entry since then had unique sprites for all Angels, for Gabby being the skirt and boobplate and her explicitly being portrayed as female.

>>383024273
It looks like the latest EO engine, first person dungeon crawler and all.

>>383024273
It's the EO5 Engine you mongoloid.
Not to mention that SMT4 Engine wasn't a new engine and was literally forked from the Nocturne engine.

>>383023223
Literaly just generic anime shit like DSJ.

Why couldn't we have gotten Devil Survivor 3 instead?

>>383025048
Good question because the games did very well in Japan.

>>383024498
>>383024614
They LITERALLY said it was the SMTIV engine, otherwise I wouldn't believe it either. And regardless, even if it were the 3DS EO engine it would still have to be a remake dumbass.

>>382992481
so whats the deal with this DEEP journey? is it just a remaster of strange journey or what?

>>383025473
It's an enhanced port with some new content

>>383025473
Enhanced Port with new content ala Devil Survivor Overclocked, Soul Hackers 3DS and Devil Survivor 2 Break Record.

Also they already raped the English name for it, confirmed it will be called just "Strange Journey Redux" in English release. No "Deep" for us.
Which is sad because I really liked the Deep Dark Fant--- Strange Journey title.

>>383003958
But hiroko is the mother of aleph

>>383026107
She's still his GF and the game makes it rather explicitly clear. Not to mention the Law ending is Aleph and Hiroko literally repopulating the human race in the Garden of Eden.

Is Atlus retarded?

The main issue with Persona 5 and SMT 4 is that they're way too easy. It's like they think the franchise has anything going for it except difficulty. I'm worried SJ will be fucked in the same manner.

>>383026397
There is no part in the game where is mentioned hiroko is his girlfriend retard.

So did they finally fix the shitty level up system where I have no say in what points I want to focus on?

>>383022503
I like how to justify your opinions you had to resort to just calling the entire series trash, which makes me question why you're even here to begin with.

>>383027614
That's the way it should be. Otherwise you get two kinds of players - Those that dump everything in the wrong stat and fucking die (looking at you, phys DeSu) and those that minmax everything into the right stat and effortlessly wipe everything in the game (gun SMT4, for example)

One of the few things Persona does better. Just have the MC do everything.

Of course. We can't have nice things.

>>383029094
>lazy
this is their job and they need to make ends meet and pay salaries, and sales aren't high enough to justify making new assets each time; the handheld castlevania games from the early to mid 2000s did the same exact thing. If you really care that much about graphics you should buy 100 copies of each game and get other people to do so so they can get a final fantasy tier budget

They have always been a small company, I don't understand why people can't seem to grasp this, they have been cutting corners for decades and still manage to constantly deliver good an fun games.

Eh?

>>383022503
Press turn is more brainless than some people make it out to be but you're in denial if you think it's purely cancer since there really aren't that many turn-based RPGs with mechanics as rewarding and dangerous.

>>383032517
>His people look way better than Kaneko's too.
Das bait.
His original designs for people are awful, see Not-Yukiko or 4A cast.
His redraws of Kaneko's people look good though as evidenced in Persona 2.
Unfortunately that's the only instance where he redrew Kaneko's human designs since SJ is using B-Team artists for all portraits.

>>383032690
>as rewarding and dangerous.
By endgame there's not a single dangerous thing about it.

>>383032765
Doi is not the artist for the persona games, that's soejima

>>383033762
Doi did the p2 cast in one of the psp p2 games.

>>383032765
He also redrew Kaneko's designs for Soul Hackers on 3DS.

>>383032765
I think the problem is the opposite, his designs are fine, his artstyle is bad. Alex and a lot of SMTIV characters have cool outfits and the right degree of "Kaneko weirdness", but that goes right out the fucking window once you draw it in the most generic anime style possible and color it like you're using the Paint bucket tool. If Kaneko drew the same exact designs, they'd look a lot more characteristic.
