SO MISERABLE

how to fucking rape a fucking great character

It would be fine if it all looked like the portrait on the right, since it's a remake. But it doesn't, you get into the game and they just have the shitty redraws of the art on the left instead.

im guessing the left one is the old art style and the right one is the new?

>>383787953
Other than the hair, eyes, nose and chin it looks fine
I prefer the eyebrows, they're a bit less extreme

>>383789348
Amusingly enough, the right is JUST AN ANIMATED CUTSCENE and the MC is still the left in the actual game. All this fighting over A SINGLE CUTSCENE

Right is from a cutscene. Pic related is the new art.

I wonder if in this instance atlus are doing it deliberately because SJ didn't sell overly well. Like adding that fucking new character.

That only thing Persona has brought to SMT is the good art style. No more characters with shit smeared all over their upper lip.

Also you should be thanking Perosna. Most likely the only reason you are getting a 3d SMT game in the future.

SMT IV Apocalypse is why. I fucking loved that game,but the party members in that game (who didn't even help you fight shit most of the time) were more obnoxious than not. They were the game's biggest flaw, in my opinion...though Gaston and Navarre were the exceptions, both being amazing. Game would have been better if they just cut everyone but Navarre from the party and had Gaston remain as an NPC.

Anyway, people are justifiably worried that mainline SMT's atmosphere of bleak loneliness will be ruined by shoehorned elements more appropriate for the Persona games. The problem is that many elements that work fantastically in the Persona games flat out do not work in mainline SMT games, especially if half-assed.

The most epic buzzword for people too lazy to tell things apart. It's proof bitching SMT fans are casuals, they don't know they're two different artists or even care about anything outside their bubble.

>>383790558
>That only thing Persona has brought to SMT is the good art style
Boy I sure do love that huge eye gap.
Also the character's artstyle makes him looks like he should be a generic harem anime.

>>383789530
This is what people should really be complaining about. Such a downgrade in terms of detail. I understand that artists have their own styles, but this is just shoddy work. Atlus should be ashamed.

I don't think it looks bad but it definitely looks worse.

>>383789683

>>383790778
While worth concern, they're still overwhelmingly SMT games. Most of the complaints are petty shit that doesn't distract from that at all.

You're right but it really does look like the start of a worrying trend, and it would be right up an idiot executives alley to try and force elements from the more popular games into the less popular ones in a poorly thought out attempt to raise sales.

Not Atlus' fault nobody bought Apocalypse; either cater to otaku/weebs or you don't get games anymore.

Final was a quick budget title. They didn't expect it to sell the same as IV.

I find it commendable they for once took the enhanced rerelease project and actually turned it into a proper sequel.

>>383792672
I'd rather have IV with Apocalypse's gameplay and QoL

There's only two things I'm not liking about Redux.
1. Protagonist's new look just makes him look much younger than I thought he was.
2. Nukiko. How many games have you played that added "new mysterious girl" that actually added anything worthwhile and wasn't just a sharp pain in the balls?

>>383792750
I'd rather have both.
Too bad they never bothered to make a patch for IV.

>Hates a more japanese artstyle approach

What the fuck? Calling it Persona ecause it looks "anime" is also retarded. Am I missing something here? Is everyone being ironic?

>>383795523
Yaldaboath was in disguise in Tokyo in SMT NINE when the bombs hit Tokyo. That's a mainline thing, but The Hero exists in the Persona verse so I'd assume that the Yaldaboath in Persona 5 is the same entity that shows up in Nine. That could set us up for some weird mainline reference if Sophia shows up in a re-release or side material but knowing Atlus I'd think they'd prefer to not acknowledge the existence of any game before Nocturne.

>>383796139
The Yaldabaoth in P5 is not the same Yaldabaoth from NINE. It's actually explained what the deal with Yaldabaoth is in P5 and how it came to be.

>>383789530
Gore looks like his portrait was put through a median filter.

>>383796335
there's this retarded youtube theory that Izanami from p4 is actually the same exact izanami from megami tensei 1 so I'm guessing they applied it to everything else

>>383796465
Seeking forced continuity between different series when the Amala network exists is stupid anyway.

>>383796465
>p4fags desperate to connect their trash to the rest of the series
Funny, ain't it?

>>383796335
What, you mean the whole subconscious thing that all the demons come from?

>>383796465
There's more evidence in this case though than a shared name. Like how you use a digital program (the game goes out of its way to display the fact that it's a program, not a supernatural event like P3 or P4) go to what amounts to a digital world reflecting it's users desires (in Nine, a non destroyed tokyo, in P5 whatever the bad guy wants).

>>383796797
No, I'm talking about Mementos. When you reach the bottom the Holy Grail goes on about how humanity wished for a guide, and when you progress to the Yaldabaoth phase of the fight, the subject is revisited.

>>383796692
It's not forced when at the very least the protagonist of SMT 1 is specifically acknowledged in the series. The amala network is the MT equivalent of midichlorians, that's why everybody ignores it.

>>383796917
You could say that about every demon in the series. Yaldaboath is just more powerful because he figured out how to use humans to summon things from the expanse like Philemon or Nyarlathotep.

>>383789608
Based Mastema

>>383797010
The only real continuity is between SMT1/2/3 and Raidou. Everything else is either explained by the amala network or if you deny it's existence everything else is separate and not connected in any way.

>>383796797
The demons and gods as they appear in Persona are reflections of the people inner desires, they are basically a more evolved form of a shadow that took on the apprarence of something that exists within the collective unconcious, while in smt, devil summoner, survivor etc. they are elements or concepts that are given form by human thought & observation and they actually get to exist in a three dimensional space, and get more powerful the more devotion they recieve; meanwhile personae and shadows only exist within the collective unconcious
They are not the same thing at all, persona 2 ep psp and smt ivf hammer that point home several times
>>383797010
back in the day it was just two timelines, one for smt1 through 3 and the other for smtif, the persona and the devil summoner games, all other serieses were basically stand alone (last bible, majin tensei + ronde, digital devil saga)
There's a timeline breakdown in the smt3 promotional dvd, I don't have pictures on me since I own the actual dvd but I'm sure they're easy to find
Though as time went on every game basically became a stand alone with a couple or references, back in the ps2 era they kept supporting this timeline since the Raidou games go out of their way to explain the If timeline as a deviation from the regular timeline where the nuclear bombings never happened; the original devil summoner actually explains in detail what changed compared to the mainline smt timeline (Gouto was arrested for owning illegal weapons, ambassador Thorman passed away from old age while keeping stable relationships between Japan and the US)
That was pretty interesting since it gave the impression of a long running plot going on in the background, but standalone games are easier to jump into and make more financial sense in a world where fanbases and brand loyalty basically do not exist anymore

If you still haven't go the memo the original founders of atlus and creators of SMT were all kicked out from the company long ago. The only reason you still see Kaneko in the credits is becouse the demon designs always belonged to him not atlus. That's why they are continuously replacing them - to finally kick him out too in the future. Not like he even works for Atlus anyway as he is a independent contractor.

It's pretty much IV's engine. The only kinda change is sprites instead of artwork in the battle UI for your party

>>383797860
"scenario designer" basically means he wrote the overall storyline while someone else handled the dialogue (i.e. the scenario writer)
>>383798147
and yet they went through the trouble of making new hd demon models to use in all future hd games that are still mostly based on his old designs, I guess during the 5 years of development of persona 5 they forgot their masterplan of trying to kick him out because Cozy Okada left 14 years ago so there's obviously a conspiracy going on

>>383797860
He was at least involved with IV's world building, mentioned in artwork.
Rest can be seen as respect since it's reusing his work.
