>>299954>it is a shame the story sucks.I agree and disagree at the same time. The story is often very interesting or has interesting concepts and then the next scene is so retarded it cancels the positive aspects of the story. Rinse and repeat. I'm not even trying to start the dungeon where Haru joins the part yet because I'm fucking sick of Morgana and wants to punt him into the sun. I'm sick of shitty mascots, it worked well with Teddie because everything about him makes sense in the context of P4 but Morgana seems to only exist because Teddie is kind of a popular character.

The last Megaten game I played was SMT IV. I absolutely HATED the start until the major plot kicked in, and then for a while it was awesome SMT apocalyptic goodness. But after you have to choose between Jonathan and Walter, I got stuck with Lucifer and my interest completely dropped. I stopped playing shortly after the confrontation with Isabeau.
I never played Apocalypse because it looked too anime/moe even compared to IV. But I was pleasantly surprised that IV still felt like a SMT game, even looking at the designs now some of them had that Kazuma Kaneko vibe.

Hopefully this doesn't mean anything, I think they have milked P5 enough already.
It's a huge stretch, but if it ends up being real I hope it's a code for P5 theatre or something. They have just finished the P5 stage play, so they may move on with Strikers now. At least the stageplays are fun and they don't slow down the actual games development.

>>301752There are lots of people into SRPGs, but I can't keep laughing at how Atlus overshadowed their own announcement by showing P5T alongside P3RE kek How did they think it was good marketing?
I have seen a total of 4 people talking about it. I loved the PQ art, but this one looks kinda ugly imo because of the exaggerated limbs.
I’m very excited for P3RE though, it needs some polishing (hopefully they will fix that in the 6-8 months it has left to come out) and I dislike the clash between the P3-style models and P5-style portraits, but I’m pretty content with the bit we have seen. Really digging the whole water/drowning theme it has going on.
The change to pre-rendered cutscenes gives me hope that FeMC will be on it as well since replacing models and changing it a bit is way easier than animating another character.
No. 301769
>>301762Leak, it will be officially announced later today. But it’s just a teaser, my bets are that they will show a full MC-only trailer during Atlus' expo in July, and then in October they will give FeMC her own trailer.
Would be weird to not include her after all the pushing they have given her, and even though it would be on brand for Atlus to ignore half of the game, I prefer to stay positive.

>>301758>I loved the PQ art, but this one looks kinda ugly imo because of the exaggerated limbsExactly! They could have just used the PQ style but with higher quality, but then they decided to teak it into those things and it's kinda ruined. I still think we didn't need a SRPG with P5 style and the same exact story as P5 and Strikers (and the gacha shit).
P3RE looks good to me, I don't think the portraits clash that much honestly. The theme looks very cool as you said.

It's very different from her JP VA, but it fitted her very well hahah.
It surprised me they’re changing ALL the VAs though, Junpei’s was going away for sure due to being a sexual harasser, but I thought the rest would stay. I listened to bits from the new VAs and they seem fitting for the most part, the only one I got my doubts on is Akihiko.

yukari was kind of supposed to be somewhat "bitchy" though… she had no idea what really happened to cause her dad's death and her mom and her had a strained relationship. she literally doesn't trust mitsuru from the get-go due to her father owning the company her dad worked at so she has her defenses up, it's completely understandable. when she gets her ultimate persona it's because she reaches out to have a real friendship with mitsuru, she softens up and becomes kinder it's literally her character arc. coomers just self-insert into junpei when literally any self-respecting woman would be a bitch to him. moids don't fucking understand or appreciate well written female characters. that's why makotoad was such a hit for p5 faggots, she's got the personality of a string bean and seems easily manipulated because she kinda fucking is.
i miss the soul of the earlier persona games, especially the 2 duology.
and same, i thought the kitchen scene with yukari looks cute but it's kinda odd seeing everything so clean looking and HD. to be fair i'm extremely biased in general to older graphics and retro style games anyway. if they ever touch p1 or p2 again i'd hope it'd be as close to the originals as possible and nothing fancy and shiny like this. then again i don't really like how zoomers have gotten into p2 the past years but it's because i'm selfish and dun wanna share my special niche weeb game with them.

JUN??? OMG HE LOOKS LIKE JUN!!!" on tumblr. But Yusuke only looks like Jun, Akechi's role is more similar to Jun's. Then there's Ann being Lisa 2.0 and her most direct and personal antagonist also being a deranged pedo who targeted her friend, Makoto and Sae being Tatsuya 2.0 and Katsuya 2.0 but way more boring. Honestly I think it's stupid to claim Atlus is pretending that they forgot about P1 and P2 when P5 is so inspired by P2 and P3 is basically a Snow Queen Quest sequel.

do you use japanese or english voices? my first playthrough i had english on and the battles became so fucking annoying so the 2nd time i played p5 and now with p5r i have had japanese on simply because its less annoying when i don't understand what they're saying lol.
No. 302939
>>302930>that was why we got no raidou costumes on the switch?I think so. iirc the Korean version of the SMT3 remaster doesn't have Raidou at all either which is really weird because I'm sure Dante is still an optional DLC for them so it's not like Dante replaces Raidou entirely in that case.
>do you use japanese or english voices?I started playing P5 vanilla at a guy's place (a friend of a friend) and he was retarded so he didn't believe me when I said he could download a patch for free to get the Japanese voice acting until I was 20h into the game. He accidentally deleted my save file so I beat Madarame and did some stuff after that almost only in English and it sounded so fucking bad. Thank god I didn't reach the arc where Futaba is introduced because her American voice actress said she made her sound like she's autistic on purpose because that's her headcanon iirc. The same voice actress who made Asahi in SMT4A sound way too fucking annoying despite Asahi being a great character imo.
I'm in the middle of P5R right now and I'm playing it with a French translation and with the Japanese voice acting and it's so much better. Ryuji sounded stupid and childish in English, and now in Japanese and French he actually sounds like a troublemaker who ACTUALLY swears every five seconds. Even Morgana swears once or twice to insult him which is funny as fuck. It's insane how obsessed with censorship and making games family friendly American localizers are. Hearing Ryuji saying "effing" out loud instead of "fuck" and "fucking" all the time in a game where the first story is explicitly about a pedophile assaulting his teenage students was super weird like. What a strange sense of priority. It's not exactly a family friendly game and late teenagers, who are parts of the target demographic, swear way more than that irl.

>>302939>and now in Japanese and French Ryuji actually sounds like a troublemaker who ACTUALLY swears every five secondsNTA but I'm glad to hear he swears like a sailor in French too, I'm playing P5R in Spanish and they translated him the same way. I dunno if the EU localization is better or worse than the US one since my JP level is akin to a preschooler, but at least I’m glad that for P5R they didn’t fully follow the English one and actually made the characters talk normally. I’m enjoying the game much more thanks to the new translation, ENG was so stale.
In the other hand, the EU translations for P3P, P4G and P4U suck so much because they made a direct translation from ENG and called it a day (they didn’t even bother to check the JP scrip, the ENG P4U translation is butchered and the same mistakes are present in the EU one). Also in ESP, for the female route in P3P they didn’t even change the male gendered adjectives/nouns towards her most of the time lmao.

I just saw P2:IS fanart on Twitter that had over 1k likes… I miss when I was 13 and it was a game that only autists on /v/ knew about. Now the fandom has more of a female fanbase which would be amazing if most of them weren't gendies and/or fujoshis. I was talking on Twitter with another woman who's into the series and she said the only reason she played it was because you could romance Jun and she loves kweer representation.
I feel like a lot of modern P2 fans are like that, as well as forcing gendie shit onto random characters whilst ignoring 99% of their actual characterization (as well as the plot). Sorry for my autistic ranting nonnas… I think I need to just stick to mainline SMT.

I’m finishing P5R right now (just started the 3rd semester) and ugh, I don’t even know if I want P6 anymore. I played this series in release order since the PSP versions of P1-3 are awfully easy to pirate, I loved P1-2, P3 is the weird middle child (but I ended up loving it thanks to all its supplementary media), but P4-5 were unbearable for me.
Specially P5, it just drags itself for 130 hours with content that barely has substance, the characters lose all their personality and just become a static anime trope after their arcs that last like 5 minutes, and the game itself seems like it’s too scared to actually make any social commentary in case it offends anyone. I just hope this very last arc is at least mildly interesting. And P4 wasn't much better, but at least the story was a bit more entertaining
until they blamed it all on a godFrom what I know, the head writer for Persona changed (he was the one who wrote the 3rd semester and P5S, I think? But since I haven’t played these yet I can’t comment on the quality) so that gives me a bit of hope, but if P6 decides to follow P5’s footsteps and ends up being another +100h game with a stale story I’m calling it a day and just stick to P1-3.
>>305346Yeah, all Google pulls up nowadays are AI-generated articles made to rank high on SEO unfortunately . I usually use these search engines if I want to find old/obscure pages
https://www.oldavista.com/ - Where I found that P2 site, it searchs for archives of defunct websites.
https://www.marginalia.nu/ - It searches for sites that are still up but badly optimised for current-day web standards, personal sites, and similar.
https://wiby.me/ - I don't use this one much, but it exists as well.
Neither of them are fully optimized, so they miss lots of potential results and such, but they can be a good start

>>305554Totally agree. I played P5 when I was a teenager and didn't really like anyone, now that I'm playing Royal as an adult for whatever reason I started liking Ryuji, Ann and Yusuke a lot more. Especially Ann. Still dislike Makoto though. She really does ruin the dynamic, I hate how she's written. It's a shame because I think she had the potential to be a better character. I think her feelings of uselessness, how she feels pressured by and like a leech on her sister but there's only so much she can do as a student, how she impulsively tries to prove that she's not useless etc are very fitting of a character her age, but she turns into a complete Mary Sue after that. Feels very forced. She makes me think of a worse

i would bet that's where her out of nowhere "omg im so useless (sad face)" comes from, leftovers from Hifumi's character arc.

Hifumi is a badass shogi player, elegant, beautiful, and well-read. Makoto is just one of those idiots who has no interests and can regurgitate information robotically on an exam.

I remember reading a fan translation some time ago, but it was only one of the volumes if I recall correctly.

P3 Thanatos because he's hot, but I wish Caladrius appeared in more games, they're super cute.
IV was my intro to SMT as a whole and my favorite thing about it was how varied the demon designs were, ranging from cute pets to hyper-designed monsters, there's pretty much a demon for everyone.

>>311362If anything they cut her off because there's one (two if you count Elizabeth) same-sex romance route if you play as FeMC, I don't think dating men as a woman is a problem to them.
Though the most likely reason they're remaking just the main male route its because RE is just a test on how to use UE on Persona games, they said RE is here to mark a new era for the series, so they just want to get out there the bare minimum to make P-studio get used to the engine and the new director/composer. I wouldn't be surprised if later they release a complete remake edition with FeMC and/or The Answer.
That said I wish they could cater to the female fans more, specially when the majority of the fandom and the ones who do the most fanwork/free advertising are female in Japan.

We got a few Atlus announcements at WonFes: Qset+ of P3-5 and 13 Sentinels, along with the prototype of the Joker Nendoll.
No idea of what's Qset+, but from what I saw the normal Qset are just 7-9cm tall chibi figures in the 2-3k yen range. I wonder if the + ones will have extra accessories or faceplates. Not too impressive but they’re cute, I wish they had included FeMC though…

Nonnas I'm interested in playing Persona 3 but the different versions confuse me. It looks like FemC is only available on P3P, but the maps are more fully fleshed out on P3 on PS2. Is it worth having fewer explorable environments for FemC? Should I play both? I've only played Persona 5 but I enjoyed it so much, I really want to get into the rest of the series. (Also, anyone remember Tokyo Mirage Sessions? What a weird game. An SMT/Fire Emblem mashup? I had a lot of fun with it though, especially as a Wii U games.)
This is old news but Atlus games have such a weird attitude towards women, like TMS and P5 both criticize the sexualization of girls but also indulge in it too. Especially P5. What a way to shit on the message of the entire first palace of the game by having the rest of the game continue to treat Ann as someone defined by her sexual attractiveness to men. Plus Makoto's outfit, the unnecessary boob jiggle in Haru's teamup scenes. And you have to see these over and over in the battle scenes.
>>305565I like Makoto but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought she turned into a Mary Sue. I'm a sucker for "rule-following good student learns to be their own person," but she gets treated like such a genius by the rest of the cast for making common sense observations in a calm voice. And she definitely changes the vibe once she joins. Futaba is another one I like but who completely changed the chemistry of the team. It felt like the game totally halted to focus on her once she was introduced, and she replaced Morgana as the commentary character. Such weird decisions around the characters in this game.

>>331956Play P3P (today is its 14th anniversary btw!) & then Reload for a complete experience. Due to P3P's format, you will miss lots of little information that the 3D models give you, on top of missing cutscenes. It was my introduction to Persona & with all its faults I still enjoyed it & today P3 is my favorite out all games, playing as a female character is so refreshing. I would either watch the cutscenes on YT or the anime after playing, and look a playthru of The Answer for story closure.
Since you're coming from P5, keep in mind the game is 14 years old like I said before, and it was the game that kicked off Persona like we know today, so its age shows. Don't expect 345879 activities to do or puzzles inside dugneons, P3's gameplay is very simple and outside S-Links & exploring the main dugneon from time to time you don't have anything else to do.

I had negative interest in P5T, I disliked P5 and I can't get into TRPGs, but I downloaded the huge data leak this morning (I think it's a mix of in-game assets with some arwork pages) and just sat down to look everything & woah I can't believe I want the game now.
I only watched…. one trailer and half, so I don't know how the story goes, but going thru the out of context art/cut-ins made it seem interesting, not anything groundbreaking but I got really curious about some of the characters' relationships. The DLC episode has the most cut-ins and seems like a pretty cute story, so I think I will wait for the base game to get a price drop since the dlc looks like a must-have.
I wasn't a fan of the art either, but looking at the in-game art and sprites made it work really well, I love how expresive they are (the translation to 3D isn't good though, but as 2D it works wonders), some of the concept art is totally eye candy.
Honestly P5T may be the P5 spin-off they put the most effort onto keeek.

>>356728in p3/p4 the coomery stuff is really just junpei/yosuke with the peak being beach scene/camping trip. persona is not too bad as far as coomerisms go. also in p3's beach scene they make fun of a tranny being a pedo towards them but i wouldn't be surprised if they changed that in reload.
if you want a more mature experience i recommend the p2 duology, if you don't mind random encounter battles in dungeons. fwiw i hate randoms but the story and characters were so cool and different it was worth it, and innocent sin is easy asf. if only fatlus would bring back cool adult characters for p6 but they will likely keep going in the uwu anime cliché high school direction because most anime fans are pedos or actual children, sigh.

I wish I had a PC to be able to play with it, Atlus did us REALLY dirty when it comes to costumes in P3RE, even removing some that were in the original games (where are the santa outfits!?). My favs are Aigis, Makoto and Yukari and they killed it in that mod, they look so cute. Saw some fanart of it already, I hope it continues.
Also talking about fanart, even thought P3RE sold a million copies, it seems it hasn't attracted too many new people to the fandom…? I have seen lots of people starting P3/Persona with it, but when it comes to fan content there is not much new blood. In a way it makes me glad since it means less dumb discourse made up by newies, but I'm also a bit sad about it.

Just finished the Devil Survivor duology! A bit sad to end this adventure, I have been playing them non-stop since December. I give DeSu1 a 10/10, DeSu2 Septentrione 6/10 and DeSu2 Triangulum 8/10.
These games really surprised me, I have only played one SMT game and hated it (though it was mostly a me problem because I got the law ending lmao) but gave DeSu a chance because its art style catched my atention and it fixed everything I disliked in SMT, it even made me enjoy the SRPG gameplay when I usually can't stand them.
I love how DeSu1 handled alignments, it was really smooth and suited the story and characters perfectly, with the characters "creating" them via their own thoughts and solutions to a problem instead of being shoehorned into them since the start with no arcs, even Amane changes her "rep" alignment depending on how the story and MC evolve. I guess DeSu and SMT simply have different lens on how to tell a story, but I prefer how DeSu1 used it to their narrative.
DeSu2 isn't bad per se, but after 1 it fell short. The new arc Record Breaker gave it made me enjoy it way more though. I loved its gameplay, OST and characters (what I think is its strong point) so it wasn't a waste of time to me even if its story isn't as good. It's a fun game.
Oh also the female cast surprised me. Their designs can be pretty coomery at times and DeSu2 has lots of fanservicey anime tropes, but they're actual characters with different personalities and are imporant to the plot (some more than others). Haru, Amane and Makoto stood out to me peronally.
Sorry for the wall of text. I wish Atlus gave the series another chance, be it a 3rd game or ports, I can't believe the DeSu fandom is more death than some 20yo japan-only VNs I know. Sadly it seems Atlus wants to focus 100% on Persona (seeing they want to make it a yearly releases series) and mainline SMT instead of branching out to their other subseries, a but a woman can dream…

My memory is fuzzy in these kinds of things, but Atlus has been saying "This will surely be pur 3rd pillar!" every time they released a new non-Persona game kek Considering how DeSu2 was way mire anime than the og and all the promo and merch they gave it, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to make DeSu a pillar too.

I like none of them and all of them are so fucking cringe… Zeus is ugly, Demeter is pedoshit and Artemis is just a stupid Saint Seiya reference instead of being a beautiful bow-weilding goddess.
Honestly? Demeter is why I'm not touching any of the new games… they fucking knew what they were doing when making the goddess of fertility and bountiful harvest a CHILD… gross. They could have made loli Cupid, which would have been stupid and cringe, but at least Cupid's meant to be a child.
How many hot male demons did Doi even draw anyway? Like three or four at best, and personally I hate Nahobino and how he's just a safe horny femboy for people who were too cowardly to admit Demi-fiend is hot.
This shit demon design direction is such a desperate marketing ploy… I miss when Doi just drew hot guys like Walter, Johnatan and Gaston ngl.
Re: Korean market and Raidou.
I feel like a solution would be to just send Raidou on a mission overseas like in England or something, but they seem to be torn on what to do with him. They know he's popular but they're so afraid of using him outside of costumes… meh. What a waste of hottie.
At least his games are still playable, easy to emulate and he even has puny nude scenes (caught me by surprise ngl lol).

I think I might pirate VV one day (or get it on some kind of super steam sale) because the platforming looks kind of fun, but the lack of good new demons and the lack of husbandos is genuinely damning. Cool mythological beings, hot guys, and crazy atmosphere are why I play these games. If you remove two of these aspects then it's a flop.
Plus I can't stress how ugly I find Nahobino, he's the quintessential feminine boy drawn for men except instead of being blatant about it like Bridget he's still meant to conform enough for normies to not be put off.
Idk what Doi did with Walter and Johnatan but I wish they spawned more fanart about nasty Chaos/Law action. Or even just yaoi with Flynn. They're simply attractive and iconic.

His own (very possibly kusoge) current personal project looks like it'll be set in Taisho era too (picrel).

So not really attributable to a single person. Here's how they talk about it in two separate interviews:
>Chiyo: Were there any major changes?>Kaneko: Yamai's initial concept was set in the modern era, featuring a detective as the protagonist.>Yamai: We always wanted to strongly highlight the "Devil Summoner" aspect more than in the previous series, so having a detective as the protagonist was consistent from the beginning.>Kaneko: There are many stories featuring active detectives, but since Megaten involves demons, we wanted a world with a strong mysterious and eerie atmosphere. Setting it in the Showa era would make it similar to the works of Edogawa Rampo or Seishi Yokomizo.>Yamai: During our discussions, the topic of Japan's current lack of vitality came up. With many corporate takeovers and an overall sense of uncertainty, we wanted to incorporate this image of an "anxious society" into the world setting.>Kaneko: We wanted to depict the anxiety of people left behind by rapid changes, as well as the ambitions of those who see this confusion as an opportunity to rise. This led us to the idea of setting the story in the Taisho era, a period that shares a similar sense of "transition between uncertainty and hope" with the present.——
>Chiyo: How is the setting of this game expressed?>Kaneko: The setting this time is the Taisho era. We chose this period because it was a "transitional era of chaos," which resonates with modern times. By setting the game in the Taisho era, we can metaphorically depict aspects that are difficult to illustrate in the present. Additionally, the Taisho era was a time full of passion, unlike today. Doi, our designer, worked hard to visualize this world.Wikipedia has section about the development of these games and they have archived links in the sources, you can check them out there.
I always try to combat this attitude in Megaten fandom since so many other developers get screwed by it. All the current developers didn't come out of nowhere to completely replace the 'old guard' or something, they have been around for a while and worked their way up. Kaneko himself has always tried to put others before himself after he got completely burned out by Nocturne. Strange Journey, which fans also like to fully attribute to Kaneko in regards of everything, was also brainchild of Ishida. Kaneko puts himself into mentor position and guides them along the way with some critique and encouragement. This is where the rumor of SJ initially being conceived as the fourth numbered title also came from, as Kaneko though it's good enough to be IV but Ishida himself never saw it that way and declined.
>Regardless, if they do make Raidou 3, I hope Soejima gets to work on it, I think his style would be great for DebiSama.Doi would make more sense as he had already worked on both Raidou games. Something in vein of his New Blood designs (picrel) with the piss filter (affectionate) over it would work really well.
>His own (very possibly kusoge) current personal project looks like it'll be set in Taisho era too (picrel).It's a blockchain/NFT game. It's completely hopeless. They hinted that they'll be using generative AI in development too. The interview Kaneko gave while advertising that game is so creepy, it doesn't read like anything he has said before. It's entirely worded like an advertisement.

>>401069It's a trope of the genre, sadly. If you've watched any Japanese or Korean dramas or read any manga or manhwa about hospitals, they always feature the same evil corrupt old doctors as antagonists and either the fresh graduate, either the genius middle-aged doctor as the protagonist, who would be constantly surrounded by women and shunned by evil old doctors.
It's kind of funny that The Good Doctor recently brought that type of show to the West (since it's an adaptation of a K-drama) and everyone was baffled.

At least the pngs of his art can be ripped.
What I find the most baffling is that they think a mobage is a fitting platform for Kaneko. Who decided this? Mobage only survive on trendiness and he is the opposite of trendy, literally only his fans care about him now.

Silly poll stuff, but both Hamuko and Yukari got to join the finals in Persona Champions this year!
I think we should get one of the girls win this year after how badly moids have always treated them. I'm honestly so surprised they even managed to get this far (I would say "Persona fandom has been redeemed", but after the replies I have seen every time Yukari/Hamu won, that's far from reality…)
There's the issue of haters voting for Ryuji so neither of the girls win though. We are thinking on voting for Kotone to try minimize the P3 split, so feel free to vote below!

>>418393They don't want these two characters in specific (the rest of the female cast is left alone). Mostly it boils down to:
- Yukari: She has personality other than being submissive & wanting to please others, so men say she's a bitch. They also hate her for making fun of Junpei and because according to them, she ruined The Answer.
-FeMC: This one is a bit more complex, the hate mostly resides on P3P and it leaked onto her. No joke, men have told random women/girls to kill themselves because they picked the female route in P3P. They usually back up their hate with "She ruined the mood of P3" (…for having more perso8 than male MC?), "being able to revive
Shinjiro and Chidori" (former still dies but does so after a long coma, later was added in their precious FES) and Ken's Slink (understandable). Mention anything good about P3P and you're guaranteed to receive the wrost misogyny you have ever seen in minutes.

I finished the SNES version of SMT1 recently!
In case anyone wants to play mainline in a chronological order, let me tell you: play the PS1 port of 1 instead. The original SMT is so painfully clunky, slow and it has some downright infuriating random encounter mechanics later on through the game. It's also not that hard, even without spamming Zio spells on bosses. There's not a single boss that gave me problems and negotiation is doable without savescumming (INT really helps with it in this game). Well, due to this the game starts out fun but I found it turned absolutely braindead after the Police HQs surrounded by robots. I also started savescumming demon neogtiations after it because while it is doable and far easier than I thought, I just couldn't be arsed to be randomly forced into fights when fights happen at such a ridiculously high rate. At least the saving grace is that running away from battle is very easy, I think all you need is a full party and escape is guaranteed, but it sadly doesn't help with the amount of random encounters. In fact, one of the most frustrating things was getting into an escape-encounter-escape loop due to how said random encounters seem to work.
The story was good especially for its time. I also loved that it leaned into a horror atmosphere.
I wonder why they haven't given it a modern remake yet. I guess if they remade it they wouldn't be able to cannibalize it as they have been doing since what? Strange Journey? SMTIV? Sucks that they keep adding Alice for the pedophile lolicons but they don't even deign the western fandom a way to know who she is and why Nebiros looks like voodoo shaman.
Still, I feel like they could easily fuck up a remake of SMT1 because we aren't in its socio-political context anymore… I think they could also accidentally make it much edgier than it actually is due to SMT1's use of religion as a way to carry a philosophical and political message about Japan.
Plus the Messians are overtly inspired by judaism despite their christian aesthetic and overuse of the cross, I'm not sure if that would ever be okay nowdays. It's ridiculous that the infamous JJCAT article appeared so relatively late online when Messians in SMT1 are basically zionists and the game couldn't be more explicit about it.
Anyway, if I replay this game I will try the PS1 port or the modded IOS port. As it was, the original SNES version was a pain to play after I gotten used to SMT If's snappy gameplay, fluent dungeon exploration and bearable random encounters.
I'm gonna play Raidou 2 now because Raidou is hot and I kind of miss him. The game better be good.

>>418589I'm going to be honest, I think P5 has the most likable music of the P3/P4/P5 games. Vanilla P5 was a bit lackluster ("You'll never see it coming" does get tiring since you hear it so fucking much and the singer doesn't know what vibrato is so her notes are flat and stretched out especially in that song) but imo the better pieces are in Royal and in some of the dungeons (I actually really appreciated the Mementos songs changing). I can't stand P4's music beside the meme one, and P3's seems interesting but just not enough (the remake's music is actually annoying to me).
Also nonnies can this thread be used for Re:Fantazio? The demo came out yesterday and while the graphics look cool (it's so brown though), idk about the story and characters, they seem kinda derivative and boring to me. I wish they would use less terribly animated anime cutscenes. I CANNOT stand the little animated scene of the protagonist popping up so often in battle. Every tiny thing in the HUD moves and the menu screen is so unnecessarily tryhard, they fucking need to stop with the P5 style and understand that it only worked in that context. Hated that shit in the P3 remake too, so many unnecessary cutscenes that don't even look good.
No. 418619
>>418583Ryuji is the only one from the main P5 group I enjoy kek Everyone else turns flat/boring after their respective castle is done, but he kept me entertained most of the game. Though I think the recent translations did the heavy lifting, back when I played in English I didn't think of him much either.
The western fandom actually likes him a lot from what I know, but the Asia one loathes him.
>>418605I haven't kept up with the game, but I will most likely pick it up once it goes on 40% sale after two weeks like most recent Atlus games. Wild how much the Atlus landscape has changed since P5, before it if you didn't pre-order their games they would be pretty much gone forever (at least in EU) but now they're produced in Pokemon levels and you can pick them anytime for cheap.
I love how the P3RE & P5/T/S menu look, but I fully get you on the rest. I don't know if anything has changed since then, but when I saw the battle UI on the first trailer/images it felt so over the top it was super hard to actually make out the names, HP bars and such.
>>418606I wish I were into P3 back then. I guess the change was gradual, people started to make debates on which version was better (FES/P3P) and they got more serious as time went on.
People saying they wouldn't buy P3RE since it lacked FeMC also made dudebros angry for whatever reason.

Excuse me I still wish to sperg about the Metaphor demo since I had time to play it more. Gameplay is easy and fun once you get used to it, it's still very inspired by Persona/SMT but doesn't share the usual ability names and has some additional mechanic where you can hit and defeat enemies without entering a turn based fight. The start menu and the transition screen between days are very beautiful but all the graphics moving around during battle are kinda ugly and confusing, there are so many dull colors, different textures, small writing and tiny animated elements all at the same time. Speaking of textures, everything seems to have extra textures and it doesn't look great… somehow the environment looks unpolished? The in-game models too, they look less detailed (and uglier) than the latest SMT or Persona games. Maybe it's because I'm not generally a fan of medieval fantasy but the designs of the characters aren't great either, and so far most of them are either cringy or annoying. The antagonist looks cool but that's because he's like Griffith from Berserk (not exactly but it's the pretty boy with a bastard personality type), the protagonist is cute but he looks like a dA oc donotsteel with the homophobia (his game portrait is kinda lopsided too??), the fairy is fine, More is meh, Strohl is cringy and I hate that he has an accent in english. The archetypes' designs are boring.
Idk I feel like it has cool concepts but then in practice it's all just… there. I'll play more later, I hope it'll pick up the pace.

>>492397It has some good gameplay changes (Theurgy seems to be well received, and they backported a lot of the gameplay stuff from P3P/4/5) and the new graphics look nice but they also kept the stupidass decision to not give SLs to male party members (and instead regulated them to 'Linked Episodes' because no homo, maybe) and re-recorded the songs (which mostly sound worse than the originals, in no small part due to the fact that the people who worked on them are 20 years older). I haven't looked into the story changes they were advertising but my guess is that they incorporated stuff from FES and P3P. They also released DLC after the fact to add an equivalent to The Answer which pissed off the retards who bought the $100 special edition or whatever but that's funny so whatever. They did, apparently, shove Denuvo into it which was an odd choice.

>>492397To me, P3RE was a good game (because P3 is already good) but a bad remake. It makes me so sad it had a budget of $10 and a sandwich, that it was treated like a side project to train the newies and how the original creators didn't supervise it because they were busy with Metaphor.
It feels like the people in charge didn't understood the characters or story, some removals are dumb and make no sense (where are the santa costumes?) and some others actually hurt the story (like removing Ryoji's last words to Aigis, not including some of the MC's actions towards her despite having the animation done, etc). And lots additions feel they're meant to please P4/5-onlys rather than to actually add to the narrative. To not tall about the changes made to Yukari…
In general the whole game suffered from lack of direction and money, the more I learn about its development the more messy it is (some areas looks wonderful, but others lacking, they even accidentally shipped the game with the dorms on test lighting and still haven't patched it). Again, I did enjoy the game, but it hurts how badly higher ups treated it along with devs not being too experienced, P3 is my favorite Persona along 1 and it barely added anything of value narrative-wise.

>>492818I know, that's exactly why it bugs me even more (also because P3 is very loved in Japan, they knew it would sell a ton regarless of the quality. And easy merch, that's easily what gives them the most money since it's low investment high profit). I wish Hashino was there to supervise the writting from time to time at least, I really dislike some of the changes.
Call me petty, but in all honestly how P3RE was treated is the one reason of why I don't want a P4 remake. Not because I think it will turn out bad, on the contrary, because I know they will give it more time/money and will turn out better than Reload. I'm just tired of everything I like getting the short end of the stick kek.
>>492975Same here, I use the P3-5D OST to clean around the house all the time lmao. I lost faith on modern Persona games but I can't wait for P6 to hear its music. I really love the mixes Kitajoh made for P3D and the new songs in P3RE and Q games so having him (most likely) direct the OST of a full main game is exciting.
