Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

A certain other game was rushed to translation and localization, and apparently there's typos up the ass, I dunno about you but I'd be pretty pissed about that.

But yeah, just be patient, this just gives you people more time to 100% FFXV and then replay it
 
They also said that they're adding more English dialogue in the localization, which takes time to record, code, program, and debug

I was fighting Satan at the end of Apocalypse and I got to the dialogue choice that's not translated. I picked the wrong moonrunes and died as a result :'^)

Holy shit are you serious I was talking smack about Central Fiction's dub from what I heard that's way worse

It has more problems than just typos.

You're talking to the wrong person, I played both FFXV demos, the gameplay was awful and that game fell off my radar. I thought that was supposed to be out already, actually?

It's probably to make sure the translation is good and they don't miss anything.
Translating things takes time, and if you rush it, you get typos that ruin immersion, what part of that do people not get?
Voice actors on striiiiiiike.

Sagaftra forbids associated VAs to work while they are on strike, and vow to make the life of a VA not following suit an impoverished tragedy, like killing off of refusing their association and trying to enforce clauses forcing game studios to work only with associated VAs
 
Hasn't VAs stopped all works while on strike?
 
Fuck that, remake I and II for something modern and give them real English releases. If Doi has proven he can do anything as an artist it's copy Kaneko, look at Soul Hackers 3DS and Innocent Sin Portable. Do it for 3DS, use the same art from IV that you can, have the original soundtrack as an option. There we go perfect and fairly cheap release that pleases everyone. Got a budget? Do Switch, people buy all sorts of stuff at launch and it's still portable. Best of both worlds.

Or just march Kaneko out to announce a new SMT he's actually doing the art for. That's probably better.
 
Would Raidou 3 be reaching too hard

When it's the anniversary celebration of SMT I and the tease is SMT I-IV? Yes.
 
Please, no more Tokis.
 
SMT IV's characterization is bad too, you have cardboard cutouts who suddenly become irrational cardboard cutouts when the story demands it. Story itself is just a bunch of Megaten moments stapled together, mostly just rehashing SMT I.

That's not a defense of Final.
 
SMTIV's characters were so bad that they made me appreciate Isamu and Chiaki a lot more
and this is from someone who did not like Nocturne's characters very much at all

anyways I will only have hopes for this if they actually bring the band back together
bring back Cozy Okada, Tadashi Satomi, and Kazuma Kaneko to work their magic

gimme some old fashioned smt brand bullshit
I want demons to mug me and steal my money and shove me in a locker while they eat my dog and call me a nerd and then I summon my slimes and pixies and flail at them ineffectually until I prevail

my only actual wish is that they add an actual charisma stat because W H Y I S N ' T T H E R E O N E

Cozy Okada, Tadashi Satomi, and Kazuma Kaneko
I want this dream reality too but Cozy left nearly a decade and a half ago, Satomi left like a decade ago and when is the last time we've even seen Kaneko so much as mentioned outside of reusing his designs and his super vague credit in SMT IV?

I have hopes they'll bring out Kaneko for whatever this is, probably V given that image, but I wouldn't have even thought to bring up those others regardless of my love for them.

Actually, fuck you, now I'm just depressed thinking about how badly I want a new Satomi and Kaneko Persona game.
 
See? It's easier to wish for a Nocturne remaster. Fewer parts it can fail miserably
 
Satomi is freelance now i think, so they could get him if they wanted to
but knowing Atlus we'll just get Kazuyuki Yamai being mediocre and forgettable soejima demons
 
Apocalypse's story and characterization makes me scared for this franchise's future.
TBH I feel like the franchise has jumped the shark, and I kinda feel the need to hang up my hat at this point. It was a good run.

I dunno...I really liked Apocalypse. Not everything in it, But it had some interesting twists that also shed some light on the background on previous games (like the human ending in Nocturne and how the universal will is a dick). Its a step up from 4, which gives me enough hope that something great can be salvaged from all this.

Problem for me is that I feel that it's a case of explaining things that were more entertaining when left up to player interpretation and surrounded by a constant air of mystery and uncertainty.

Persona jumped the shark and merchandised jumping the shark into oblivion but most people are still looking forward to the next one.

But TMS is a real FE/SMT crossover game.

It has waifu's, S.Links, censorship, and nonsense.

All of the key ingredients to making an SMT game, and a FE game.

YO

WTF DID I JUST SEE

IS THAT A SMT FIGHTING GAME

I HOPE IT IS
 
I thought that was a Nocturne port until it showed Odin.

I am hyped because I am a complete sucker.
 
Where can I find this thing being spoken about?
 
I can't fucking believe Nintendo had a giant sentient dick in their new console presentation.
