HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL

>>718958962 (OP)
Are they at least touching up the graphics? The sprites could do with a higher resolution.

>>718958962 (OP)
I want to believe can you convince me that this picture means anything? I want to replay SMT IV now that ive played others. IV was the first one I played and I rage quit at minotaur.

>>718958962 (OP)
Make new games, I already played this shit

>>718959664
you already got smtvv

>>718958962 (OP)
I thought that fucked up blur was an emulation issue yet it's still here? So it's fake, right?

>>718959664
Metaphor isn't even a year old yet.

>>718960147
>no switch 2 port
They really just want my money for P3 first huh?

>>718958962 (OP)
And where did this supposed leak come from? Also if SMT IV adds affinities this will be goated.

>>718960213
For the record, if any Sega cunts are here, I would buy them both at full price if you dropped them before Xmas. Come the fuck on.

>>718958962 (OP)
Fake + gay.

>>718958962 (OP)
This will be worthless if they don't add all of IVA's improvements to IV.

>>718961334
never played them so what got added in 4a?

>>718958962 (OP)
Will they fix the dogshit gameplay and story of IV?

>>718958962 (OP)
You know it's fake because game publishers don't make modern compilations, they sell them individually because they're greedy (see Tales of Xillia)

>>718961514
Massively improved the balance of the combat.

>>718961514
>Hama and Mudo can actually deal damage instead of only doing instant kills, and they have a bonus instant kill effect while under the effects of Smirk. This makes them viable damage options.
>Many skills now have bonus effects under Smirk as well.
>In addition to demons having weaknesses and resists when it comes to elements, they also have proficiency bonuses for elements. This basically means that a Jack Frost is much better with Ice than with Fire, as is the case with V and V:V.
>Smirk as a status in IV was absolutely busted because it granted free crits and insanely boosted your dodge rate. A boss getting Smirk from either critting you or blocking an attack can completely ruin you, especially when AI partners can use Agi against Void Fire and essentially give the boss a free Smirk. IV:A tweaks this to be less of a gamebreaker for either side.

>>718961514
Anons mentioned the combat changes but for me the two biggest improvements in IVA are the camera not being right up your ass and actually being able to see shit on the field. And encounters not spawning and immediately running at you at 200 mph before you can even react to them. These two things made field exploration fucking unfun in IV.

will they fix the retarded story and retarded deviantart designs?

Goddamnit Walter!

this bait is like 2 or 3 years old

>>718958962 (OP)
I never liked that game on the 3ds. Just way too grindy and very little in between.

Persona is a way better series than the core SMT games.

>>718959664
Too bad.
We will never remake Persona 1 or Persona 2 or Snowboard Kids btw.
Maybe we'll update the Xanadu copyright with something, though.

>>718966149
But the issue was that it was too easy and you didn’t have to grind to destroy everything in your path

>>718958962 (OP)
seeing nanashi next to flynn really drives home how shitty his design is

>>718966360
>We will never remake Persona 1 or Persona 2
Good. I don't need them to be turned into Persona 5 3.0 and 4.0.

>>718962308
they gave demons STAB?? lmao

>>718958962 (OP)
GUISE

>>718967261
>Persona 1 and 2 with Social links
I might travel to Japan and go to Atlus HQ personally and punch every single developer at that point.

>>718967408
Sort of but not really. Each demon has a skill ranking with each type of spell, usually thematic to its type. Jack frost has +4 in Ice and -5 in Fire. But then you have oddballs like Loki that have +3 in Fire, Ice, Wind and Lightning. Each point in a skill equates to 10% extra damage and cheaper MP costs IIRC?

>>718967675
A +9 damage skill will do +70% damage and cost -20% MP compared to a 0. Not all skills go to +9 and things like buffs/debuffs/supports only receive MP reduction.

>>718962308

>>718965423
Every damn time. It’s like he has a sixth sense for sabotaging your run. Dude sees the boss absorb fire and goes, “You know what this needs? MORE FIRE.” SMT IV wasn’t hard because of the game, it was hard because Walter had a deathwish.

>>718968928
Yeah he was pretty... chaotic.

Not Etrian, Not Interested

>I shall end it thus!
He didn't specify who's end it would be

>the SAME dogshit mockups on the same tv being posted again and again
>nanashi's sprite is mirrored so instead of NO WAR it says gibberish

>>718972189
First I hear of this.
Whats the context?

>>718966149
>grinding in smt4
jesus anon

I really wish IVA didn't have its tonal issues. The cast is far too cartoonish for most of them having lived in a demon-infested hellhole, surviving day to day, never even seeing the sun, and being surrounded by the remnants of a defeated populace for their entire lives. Even in IV, the party who grew up in the sun in the idyllic Mikado aren't complete jokes. It's like a bunch of churchgoers who never knew there was anything else. Jonathan believes in the fundamental righteousness of the system even if he thinks it could be improved, Walter becomes disillusioned when he realizes all the cracks and corruption, and a world of freedom where he isn't bound by social caste feels right to him. Isabeau sits on the fence because she understands the viewpoints of both but lacks the resolve to go with either, and you can choose anything, including the harder path that pits you against both sides but brings hope to everyone, which Isabeau can get behind. They all evolve as they learn more about the world while IVA's party feel fairly static.

>>718960147
>Persona 5 3

>>718973689
IV:A is persona lite. It shouldn't even be considered SMT.

>>718958962 (OP)
kek I remember this picture

>>718959250
No reason they couldn't ditch the sprites and use models from the HD MegaTen games and add the missing ones while they're at it.

>>718960147
you know, with all the "x is y years old now" posts i've seen recently this one actually made me relaxed.

>>718958962 (OP)
I remember seeing this same leak here years ago

>>718960147
In what way does the creation of new games excuse wasting time on remaking old games that already exist instead of making even more new games instead?
Everytime someone complains about how remakes are taking time, money, and talent away from new games development. There is always some smartass like you pointing to recent and new releases. As if that changes anything.

>>718962308
I like Proficiency and think it adds a lot to each demon but I'll always seethe that IV gave my man -3 Support so I couldn't make him the mixed Buffer/Debuffer he deserves to be.
Cheers to V for giving him +1 Support so my dreams came true once more.
