Wtf why is the new shin megami game an action rpg ala Tales of?

>>713044659 (OP)
Because Raidou is the designated ARPG part of the megaten franchise.

this game is some real monkey's paw shit
>remake of Raidou 1 that's fun to play but the game is ugly as sin
will still try it out when it goes on sale but man why couldn't they just redo the pre-rendered backgrounds?

>>713047059
nah, it is a kino name. much better than naming it something like "shin megami tensei: raidou" and "shin megami tensei: raidou 2". there is more soul to a name like "shin megami tensei: devil summoner - raidou vs. the soulless army". it also opens them up to having more devil summoner games (like the mechanics/gameplay) without tying them to the raidou character or the setting he is from, and gives each game a more personal feeling from the title rather than just a dumb number.

The SMT and Devil Summoner part of it is unnecessary and gay

why was this the last good SMT game?

>SMT
not unnecessary. brand recognition. especially considering it came out when the internet was far less used and people would be less aware of what the game was. putting shin megami tensei on the box gave people an indication that it was within the same line of games where they can now release something like metaphor without needing to brand it as shin megami tensei. or like how persona games used to be "shin megami tensei: persona" but the most recent game was just "persona 5".
>Devil Summoner
they are tying gameplay elements to this subline of the franchise. it isn't digital devil saga, it isn't persona, it isn't mainline. it differentiates things from the rest of the franchise while still keeping the brand recognition of SMT. also, like i said, doesn't tie them down to making all devil summoner games about raidou or set in the same setting.

devil summoner means the protagonist befriends demons instead of using them

Gonna be honest I really don't like that they gave Raidou a voice

>>713049579
they gave it in the smt 3 remaster
normalfags need their dub

>>713048969
Exactly. People forget how niche MegaTen used to be in the West. The SMT label was basically Atlus screaming "HEY THIS IS RELATED TO PERSONA PLEASE BUY IT." It worked too—half the reason Raidou got localized at all was probably because of that attachment. And the "Devil Summoner" tag gives it room to breathe as its own proto-subseries. I'd take a hundred convoluted subtitles over Persona-style oversimplified naming any day.

>half the reason Raidou got localized at all was probably because of that attachment.
Raidou came out in the US before Persona 3. And neither game had the SMT label in Japan, it's a "brand" concocted by the West.

It's a spinoff, after all

The DLC has some of the best fights in the series.

I wonder if the real Hawking knew his SMT homage.
