Never going to happen. Atlus doesn't want to get in hot water for allowing the player to dress up underaged girls and have them in suggestive situations. It's why SMT V censored Tao's panties and then outright removed them in VV.

>>528923620
100% this. Megami Tensei began on Nintendo and the franchise had it's best run (next to PS2) on the 3DS.
Soccer Guy is a total faggot for snubbing SMT in Smash by including Joker (A PLAYSTATION CHARACTER) from Persona, a game for incels, over an TRUE Shin Megami Tensei rep. Aside from music (and even that's lacking), Joker didn't even represent the entire Persona series, just normie ass P5.
Flynn was my most wanted character in Tr4sh, and Demifiend or Nahobino for Ultimate. In an ideal timeline, any of those characters would've been considered and included before an incel Persona character and it wouldn't be faggot Joker it would be based characters like Yu Narukami or Aigis
Nintendo and Megaten are intertwined

He's really hot____ but I almost kind of miss the inverted colors. It's still a big improvement because they had the budget to actually make him look meaningfully different instead of just inverting his colors.

>>528994394
This author's most famous manga, Raichi Hikari Club, is kind of homo despite its premise (schoolboys build a robot to kidnap schoolgirls) and also written by a man. Never read it though. They most likely asked this guy to draw Raidou due to his love for Taisho uniform and dark aesthetics.

>>528979456
Nice on yuri day (yesterday)

>>528944490 (OP)
honestly every remake/remaster/enhanced port of Fatlus slop is better than the OG
but what a shame Radiou demake flopped and no one cares about it
this is what Fatlus deserves for listening to the poser subumans
they listened to the Slop Hackers posers jerking off to Nemissa fan art and made Slop Hackers 2 but no one bought it kek
now they made the same mistake listening to the poser pretending they like Raidou but none of them bought the demake

>>528996885
It sold decently well in Japan and they're the ones who like Raidou.

>>528997059
Anon why would you reply to him...

>>528997059
Fatlus is not satisfied with the sales, i highly doubt they'll remake sequel now

>bros look at these steam charts, it flopped-
>NO NOT THAT STEAM CHART AIEEEEEEEEE

Raicuck

I love this WHORE!!!

>>528998797
Steam charts and sales are kind of retarded

There is just simply

1) More people on Earth
2) More people with access to internet and gaming devices
3) More people PC gaming, even in the last 5 years (this especially effects Steam player counts)

Like 2k peak players in 2021 = 5k peak players in 2025

There's just that many more PC gamers in the past 5 years

Majora's Mask only sold 3.3 million

PUBG sold 75 million

You could make complete shit slop shovelware that sells more than some of the most beloved games of all time from the 90s or 2000s

Cute Raidou is cute!

>>528955823
Should have done what Square Enix did and put a demo for a much more anticipated game in the obscure releases (DQ 8 with the FF 12 demo)

I'm tired of these gay comparisons between Raidou Remaster and Soul Hackers 2.

>>529014371
raidou 1 was good before it was ruined by the retarded choices done in the remaster while SH2 was unrightfully shit upon by the fanbase. SMTfags love worse experiences for their own retarded pride.

>>529014371
I don't see the issue when people wanted Raidou to come back after whining about how SH2 isn't a real Devil Summoner game

>>529014746
Raidou 1 was objectively bad.
There, I said it.

>>529014371
they’re part of the same subseries and were both released in recent times. seems reasonable to compare which game is better.
>>529014949
holy based.

>>529014371
Here's another:
SH2 was marketed a lot more in the west while Raidou got jack shit.
Remember how SH2 rented a venue in the west and no one showed up?
The marketing cost alone means that Raidou remaster is probably more profitable than SH2.

I think the standards for Atlus's sloppy seconds have gotten lowered heavily over the years. If this happened when Golden on Vita was released, it would be shit upon for much less.

>>529015965
The Raidou remaster was advertised pretty well in the west and even got expensive figures, which likely backfired hard for Atlus since they expected the game to be a massive hit. That certainly does not make it more profitable than SH2.

Raidou is cute~~ I want to kiss him!!

>>529016907
This is not comparable with atlus west renting a venue.
>B-but the fig
SH2 had one too.

>>529017301
SH2 had a tiny ass jack frost that goes for nearly $60. Meanwhile, the Raidou remaster has a Raidou figure that goes for a whopping $250. Atlus clearly hoped that the remaster would be on the same level of success as Nocturne HD if they went this far to do something like this.

>>529018362
It's because LRG's SEGA collaborations layely are getting more and more full of crap that will maybe get made one day.
Same thing happens with their releases of other SEGA games (and not just Sonic).

>>529018362
SH2 was still advertised way more while I did not see a single ad for Raidou in my country.

>>529018672
>LRG
Shit, they're the one in charge?
The figures are not even made yet then.

>>529018829
Yeah, lately SEGA keeps doing collabs with them. This is not on Atlus but fully onto SEGA who seems to love to work with LRG and I presume that LRG treats them better than their indie collaborators. I think Atlus' actual Special Edition for Raidou is Japan Only and it includes simple trinkets like a keychain and the soundtrack.

>>529014356
SMT isn't ruined. It is in fact the best currently running RPG series.

>>529013916
This actually makes me a bit sad, I'm hoping Raidou 2 Remastered gets released and they improve upon the mistakes they made on this first remaster, until we can get a perfected Raidou 3...

>>529022478
Raidou 2 remastered wouldn't be expensive to make, 80% (if not more) of the assets of Raidou 1 can be reused.

Hi nigga haven't been here for awhile
SMT VI when

>>529011298

>Left in an NPC line referencing raidou saving the admiral even though they removed the plotpoint
>Left in an NPC line referencing the elemental bullet mechanic even though they removed that
What a sloppy script

>>529018686
That's your problem. I saw Raidou ads constantly on multiple sites

>>529024825
You're a fucking retard for comparing ads on the internet to ads IRL.
The latter is much more expensive compared to the former.
You only proved my point faggot.

>>529024718
It's not like they didn't alter a bunch of random lines either, someone went through and didn't think to keep track of lines that didn't mesh with the changed mechanics/elements.

Why can't they replicate another game like SJ? Is there no audience for that in Japan?

>>529025629
It didn't sell (twice!), so why bother appealing to people who liked it (saying this as someone who owns both versions).
Mind they'll probably mine it for ideas sooner or later, they already took a few pages out of its book for Vengeance. Personally I'd like a game with a setting like the Schwartzvelt again, varied environs reflecting various ideas with demons integrated naturally like what they tried with SMTV.

>>529025206
>Seething this hard
I didn't see SH2 ads IRL when the game was new but what do you expect for a niche JRPG game. Same goes to Raidou too

>>529025629
Japan doesn't really like edgy shit, and when they do, there's usually cute girls.
There's exceptions of course but they are that, exception.
And when they do make edgy shit, it's almost certainly aimed at western audiences in mind.

Here's your cute girl bro

>>529026141
>I didn't see SH2 ads IRL when the game was new
I did.
>but what do you expect for a niche JRPG game.
Atlus unironically thought it was going to be their 3rd pillar.
I imagine their expectations were more reserved for Raidou.

>>529024718
I really don't like how raidou himself now is just a mage capable of using super powerful magic spells and abilities all on his own.
In the original titles he had to make use of special equipment like the elemental bullets, or use combo attacks empowered by his demons. They've pretty heavily changed the vibes of the character now imo.

>>529026292
They did in the 90s and 80s, and even in the 2000s. What happened was that Atlus started to appeal to lowest common denominator, and the interesting people started to leave

>>529026292
And honestly I am so sick for the need for everything to be disgustingly bright and happy

>>529026529

In the end of the day, Raidou lost and Ringo won. That's all what matters.

>>529027231
>They did in the 90s and 80s, and even in the 2000s.
And they still do today but you're missing the point.
Your favorite edgy work was always a midget compared to the not-edgy shit from the same period of time.
It's the same shit than console war:
Aiming for kids/family friendly stuff like Nintendo does is always going to sell more than edgy shit (unless your name is GTA but that's an exception).

>>529027374
Vidya is literally an escapist hobby in Japan and Asia in general, and it's quickly becoming that way all over the world.

>>529026585
I don't think it's that big of a deal. If anything it's strange that he couldn't use magic originally.

>>529028891
Why is it strange, hes a devil summoner not a mage

>>529026585
That's only true in the mid-late game when you unlock more swords and get more stats.
Before that, he essentially a mag generator for his demons.

>>529028995
Tbf he does it naturally while the other devil summoners do it through a program, doing it naturally must surely require a lot of spiritual practice

>>529026553
>Atlus unironically thought it was going to be their 3rd pillar.
That was a lie to convice people to pick up the game. Metaphor was always planned to be the third pillar.

Does anyone have that art of demons playing mahjong? I think it's cute but can't find it

>>529031190

Thank you very very much

So the Devil Summoner IP is done for, huh

>>529033356
It was done for when they decided to exclude it from soul hackers 2's title

>>529033356
SH2 ensured that

>>529033443
>>529033743
I was referring to the Raidou remake, schizo

>>529033850
I know you were, and I was saying they chose to exclusive it from an ostensibly devil summoner title before that. Do you not understand what that implies or are you just choosing to seethe? It implies a distrust in the IP.

>>529033850
I'm not the schizo, I'm just telling you debisama was cooked because of how rancid SH2 was. We were never going to get a new game because of it, only remasters and ports.

>>529034031
*exclude

I'm tired of the SH2 hate.

I'm tired of SH2 not getting more hate.

>>529034312
The actual quality of the game itself has quite literally no relation to the idea that atlus choosing to not put devil summoner in its title implies a lack of trust in the market power of the devil summoner IP. This was a decision made BEFORE the release of the game and they had seen the reception to it. The game did not release with devil summoner on the box, and then have atlus scrub it off post release because people didn't like it.

>>529026585
While I am not crazy for this inclusion, Raidou using magic makes perfect sense because the Kuzunoha Clan practices Onmyodo and Onmyouji are capable of controlling the elements which implies more than just using magic bullets.

Soul hacker is shit anyway lol

Interestingly I think sega may be the ones responsible for the lack of devil summoner in the SH2 title.
It was a while ago now, 2021, so you may not remember. But sega (not atlus) had an internal presentation where they were discussing which dormant IP's they wanted to revive, and in that list Soul Hackers was listed. Not devil summoner. Soul Hackers specifically. It was even listed separately from megami tensei.

Am I totally crazy or is the new Neutral ending in SJR really bad? Like yeah, all the new endings are dumb for being watered down, but I've actually seen some praise for the Neutral ending despite it seeming particularly bad. For me, the best part of the original Neutral ending was the uncertainty. You were shown how shitty humanity is and you had the balls to choose it anyway and give it another chance. Will they learn their lesson? Can they turn things around? You don't get an answer; it's effective in this way. The new Neutral ending basically definitively says "Nope they will keep fucking up lolol." Horrible.

>>529102595
Everything about the new story sucks, I don't know how anybody defends it.

It'd probably be Yoshitsune or maybe even a new made up demon.

He can already do combined attacks with demons in the original and King Abaddon. Giving him his own magic is completely unnecessary and takes away from his role as a Devil Summoner. Even Naomi has to use contracted demons to cast magic for fuck's sake.
>>529035036
Yes, and his "magic" is the confinement and manipulation of "spirits" AKA demons. Combined attacks are powerful enough already.

I am once again asking for updates on new translations.
Devil Summoner 1?
SMt2/if PS1?
NINE?
Giten?

>>529177328
just learn japanese already

>>529177379
No

>>529177328
Duolingο is for my nigga

>>529177328
just use google lens.
it's not terrible.
it's just off sometimes.

is it worth it bros

>>529178232
I'd buy that for a dollar

>>529177328
and giten is partially done on pc98 and it's apparently fully playable but you have to do something weird to play through it fully and use glitches or something.
it's mostly done on windows iirc but it's really buggy so i don't recommend it.
pc 98 looks better anyway and you can use saveststes which i recommend because there's a lot of bs at the beginning.
i think the spanish translation for debisama is done or almost done.
apparently someone was working on ps1 if... but i haven't heard anything about it for years.
smt2 ps1? who knows.
wait for tom to finish p1 them maybe he'll do it. idk.

>>529177328
also, pretty sure ps1 smt2 is really buggy so i'd recommend the snes version anyway.
and snes if.../smt1/smt2 all look better than their ps1 versions

>>529178232
No, play Digital Devil Saga instead.

>>529116484
Duh, Abaddon.

>>529178860
no remaster?

>>529180287

>>529180364
Yes and?

>>529180559
How am I supposed to play??

>>529025629
SJ itself had a reputation for being too hard when it came out. it's not that they can't make a game like that, it's that atlus simply isn't that invested in low effort experimental projects anymore.

>>529045723
hot hot hot
and it also sticks to the obsession people in the game have with westernization, probably the best raidoumizu till now

>>529076979
it's already in works. the question is if sega will invest in a new entry like Yamai wants.

>>529180534
Dark Matter from Kirby

>>529178232
Yes.

Would Focused Assault proc if the demon before used a Random Enemies attack (like Ragnarok) on a single target? Or does the skill specifically need to target a single demon (like Agibarion or Trisagion)
>example
Asura clicking Myriad Slashes after Lucifer clicked Ragnarok against Mastema (only enemy demon)

>>529186083
The latter, it only work with single target spells.

Unlocked by default but he's level 66 so you'll need to grind a bit since you actually get the quest early.

Thanks for clearing it up. I'll just do the case file when I unlock him naturally then.

>>529194127
The game (both OG and remaster) has a weird levelling curve because you'll gain a lot of levels in the last dungeon but few before that.

>>529193953
That's ok. Just take a picture of her in the editor for me if she never plays.

Liking Raidou while not being autistic is cultural appropriation

>>529200930
I have nothing to worry about but what the hell does this even mean

In Raidou how do you get your demons to not use their weakest attacks over and over?

Which CoV ending should I do first

Choose your destiny, young summoner.

I have been coping through 20 hours of Raidou Remastered but man this game is fucking BORING!

>>529203427
Only give them the strongest.

>>529205656
Law

>>529206058
So basically give them the minimum number of active skills. Weird but alright.

Did they give the water little girl demon (the one that heals you) a new model?

>>529203427
Dunno, mine are casting the breath skills whenever they can and those cost per cast 50 MAG.

You know what grinds my gears? Persona shit when trying to look up SMT art.

>>529219568
Ugh. Tell me about it. I just filter "Persona" if I'm able to.

>>529219568
True

>>529218637
Sadly like 70% of vg is gacha shit. We were too during the height of Dx2 too. Somehow we were just lucky the game became less popular and more pay to win.

>>529219661
I don't know why every image site will have some persona shit when looking up SMT. Gelbooru SMT only? Kawakami randomly there. Who tags persona under SMT when it has nothing to do with SMT? Even Pixiv is like this.

>>529219790
A lot of people still think SMT is the umbrella series instead of Megaten. "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3" and its consequences...

>>529219947
it's such a dumb thing too, it was fine back then but atlus hasn't used that shit with P5 and SMT gets mixed up with P5 the most

>>529219765

>everytime anybody tries to talk about Raidou a handful of retards flood the thread with FLOP GAME MUH SH2 LE 3K STEAM PLAYERS SHIT GAME CENSORSHIP

Gosh I wonder why there's no discussion. The game is a good remaster but people want it to desperately suck for some reason. Mad at the fujos having a good game? I don't know, but they definitely didn't play it or the original.

>>529233591

>this was nocturne hd's peak

really makes you think

speaking of Raidou it's kind of jarring seeing how some models look really good and then some look like shit

hitokotonushi looks good for something that wasn't already in HD but the likes of Ghoul and Pabilsag are rough

>>529234556
>that will be 50 dollars for you good sir.

>>529234461
Kind of depressing to see nocturne hd sell so poorly, even if it was a rushed and overpriced port.

>>529233591
it's just one schizo who i'm pretty sure is the same idiot who posts "flop game etc." on the other atlus generals.

smt v(v) was also a "fujo game" and yet it has the sexiest women in the entire series
what does raidou have in comparison

>>529237202
it has raidou

>>529237202
Tae, I wouldn't call her sexy but she's definitely bullying material.

Raidou is not a fujo game, it's a yume game.

>>529242573
Shut up troon

It's a good thing it flopped actually.
The world is better with less raidoutroons.

>>529243149
you're obsessed. also it didn't flop. look at the switch store sales.

>>529212798

>>529232053
I'm currently playing Raidou Remastered but also I am rather busy these days so I don't progress with the game as much + I'm taking my sweet time with it. I'm doing a stupidly high amount of fusions, to the point I haven't recruited a demon in a bit. Honestly I missed sinking like a hour per session fusing new demons, even if the game has added all these items that give skills and such without inheriting them. Only got one fusion perk so far, this Archangel came out with like 4 more ST or something. No fusion errors so far yet but I imagine those were more common in Raidou 2 due to the game's focus on Luck (I also have not gone to Goumaden at Full Moon yet).

Yesterday I finished Chapter 2 and 3 and io and behold, some bored anon on /smtg/ flat out lied that you find out about Raidou XL in Remastered's Chapter 2. I also saw that all the "incriminating" screencaps come from some xitter posters since I browsed it a bit through a frontend to look for fanart. So whoever is constantly bitching and shitting on the game isn't even looking at playthrough videos on his own, he's stealing from xitter, kek.
I'm still curious to see the shitty new changes for myself. I find that most changes so far have been good except for the handholding, but what do you know, Atlus thinks its fans have no reading comprehension whatsoever.

I see no hear nο evil

can i get an at dump of official raidou art?

>>529248561
Shall post what I have when I'll be at my computer.

>>529232053
raidou remaster came out extremely mixed in quality along with it bombing. It's also raidou 1 but with a less interesting/whole aesthetic. It's purely for newfags to buy which is what most of the new ports/remasters Atlus has done has been focused on. modern atlus would rather spend lots of money to add dumb ass shit to rerelease a game at 50 dollars + DLC + tax. But Raidou remaster's content has half of it being pointless or actively undermining the player. They added a DLC to explain the plot and over explained the plot. the game is full of dumb choices that makes the game feel incomplete/rushed.

>>529232053
Raidou was underwhelming, people got the doomposting/shitposting out of their system (besides Avery) and now there's not much else to say about it unless you're a fanboy or obsessive schizo. I predict the general will go back to wanking off V soon enough.

>>529253221
>It's also raidou 1 but with a less interesting/whole aesthetic
And a completely revamped gameplay, infinitely better fusion, increased demon roster...?
It's getting really grating to read posts from poseurs who know jack shit of what they're talking about. Raidou Remaster coming out gave me the ultimate proof that too many MegaTen fans are the kind of person who will pretend to sperg about the games to no end but only know about them through xitter discourse, reddit browsing and youtubers.
Nobody is forcing you to buy Raidou 1.5: Electric Boogaloo (in fact, you can pirate it right now), just stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

>>529254842

I like it when I accidentally got an artist to love asahi getting dicked down. Guy even brought out the 3d asahi model

>>529264001
Honestly? Based, I respect you.

It's insane how things could be much better if Kaneko didn't touch a iPhone.

>>529259646
Because a game only ever gets sales the first two weeks of its time on the market, huh? Besides, those are also only physical sales, we have no idea how many digital copies have sold. I'd wait at least until the end of year holidays or the first major sale on the game to see if it really was a flop. We all know and have been saying that Raidou was never going to be a huge hit when its a high-effort remaster of a niche game in an already fairly niche franchise, especially with the weirdly minimal amount of advertising it got in the West. It's really not doing as bad as some would think.

>>529234801
>>529234556
Probably the reason the game isn't referred to as a remake but just a remaster, they clearly just took some assets from the PS2 originals and gussied up what they really needed to. It would have been nice to see some of the especially crusty demons get a few more polygons at the least, but I guess they had their hands full with everything else and couldn't get to it. I can't be too mad when its clear a majority of the budget and manpower was all put into gameplay and environments.

>>529263719
>still wearing the hat
That's how you know the artist is a real one.

>>529248561
That's not Raidou. He's some priest/exorcist Kaneko drew for a novel or something like that.

>>529268609
There is a subset of autists who hate Raidou for a reason or another. One of them even spammed the Metaphor general (and I presume he also spams the Purse Owner generals) with "flopdou" "raidou flopped" and all that shit.
You can't escape annoying weirdos on this website.

>>529266979
I mean, can you really blame him? Japanese and Western zoomers are incapable of appreciating his artstyle, the same thing happened with other artists like Yoshitaka Amano and Tomomi Kobayashi, people would hate Nomura if he didn't changed his artstyle towards shonentards in the early 2000s too.

Brother..... what the hell did you turn me into!?

I hate Raidou because everyone acted like his games were the top ten best SMT games to ever exist when they're frankly meh at best

>>529277441
Who is everyone in this case? I am a Raidou Enjoyer and I still am critical of his games. I get the feeling most self-proclaimed megaten fans online are mostly enamoured with the character Raidou and the idea of him being a detective in 1930s Japan, but not many actually played his games and experienced their stories. At best they oogled at his art and used him in Nocturne.

>>529276656
I disagree

>>529276656
>loses to a car
>>529277441
They weren't wrong, gameplay was meh but the rest about Raidou has always been peak shit thanks to the story, lore, music, aesthetics and characters
i love narumi, no homo
Majin Tensei takes ten hours to go through one level because of it's shitty gameplay but the handful of people that liked it still like it, and under the purgatory-tier gameplay lies an actually interesting story and some cool characters

taisho era is simply too good but there's almost nothing besides raidou, sakura taisen and a shitload of otome games

>>529246710
how's the gameplay?

>>529283128
It's like Raidou 2's but refined. Raidou now can now use cooldown skills that range from elemental magic to get enemies into critical state but also he can use some buffs or heals; however they aren't as OP as it sounds, they're there moreso to make things faster and the fast pace is what's been the most fun thing about this battle system so far, it's addicting to fill up the MAG bar after your demons used it all up to cast Critical spells. The gun isn't very good or satisfying to use but I got it a bit more now, basically it's there to stun teleporting/flying enemies in place but it's too situational. Also, you lock onto enemies which I do not remember from neither Raidou 1 or 2 at all... it's not bad but it took some time to get used to. Same for the jump button (I don't use it much).
Fusion Autism is even better than Raidou 2's now that you can choose which skills to inherit... I already sank hours into fucking around with it because I plan to make perfect versions of my favorites through fusion. It's MILES above Raidou 1's sorry excuse of fusion.

>>529283128
NTA but Fun, better. Gun is shit and basically a tool to stop demons prone to running away from running away.
You can see the glimpses of the PS2 game underneath but it got the polishes in places it needed the most imho
Raidou is now much more sword than he is gun, also has access to some magic, nothing too crazy but elemental 'signs' and a megidolaon if you craft the right sword for it. STR moves still seem stronger, though.

>>529284372
>>529284378
The gun works on some bosses like the green dude, though you may have to unload more than usual to stun them, it's also a way to regain mag safely.
>I already sank hours into fucking around with it because I plan to make perfect versions of my favorites through fusion.
Based and same.

>>529284946
I tested the gun on bosses sometimes and it DID seem like it 'froze' them in place for a moment that allows easy hits but I always felt like I was just making it up

>>529289825
Actually, it's mayo that Demi got on him

>>529289098
Probably make it an actual six-shooter and make it so you can buy or make magic bullets, make it strong but an actual commitment to reload (so you only reload if your demons got aggro, for example) or/and a money sink (the bullets) to even off it's high instant damage compared to sword slashes.
The mag drain system is simple, light attacks generate MAG, heavy attacks drain MAG but deal more damage. Your demons use your MAG for their abilities, so it's always good to have a lot of it or demons just won't do jack shit but basic attack.
During a weakness stun you get 2x mag from light attacks, too. Not sure if heavy attacks do more when that happens because who reads tutorials lol

>>529290092
Then, Raidou cleans him (how nice)

>>529294501
Start with SMT 1 PS1 and then play whatever you want. SMT 1 shows you shows you the essentials on what makes SMT in terms of writing, alignments, and soundtrack.
SMT 3 & VV are awful starting points since they're intentional black sheep entries and nearly nothing else plays like them.

>>529294501
Just pick one, you'll get lots of autistic answers but the order you play them in doesn't really matter anyway. Just don't start with SMT2 or IV:Apocalypse.

>>don't play the most accessible games because they're different, start with an outdated first person dungeon crawler instead
Yes. Imagine playing FF14 as your first FF and being confused why no other entry plays it similar to it in terms of everything. That's the same thing with SMT 3 & VV.

>>529298680
Pretty much every modern Atlus game released after Nocturne is based off Nocturne. SJ and IV/IVA also have a lot of blood in VV.

>>529298680
It's not the same thing but I like how disingenuous you are so I'll allow it

>>529294501
Just play Nocturne and Vengeance, they're the best ones. If you really want to go around showing your taste, it is recommended to play Raidou 1 and 2 as well as DDS 1 and 2.
Everything made before Nocturne, or for Nintendo consoles between 2009 and 2018 is entirely optional due to their debatable quality.

SMTIV

I didn't watch but I assume we lost?

>>529295081
I usually don't play Japanese games with the English dub, but I wanted to know what it was like since I had seen the Japanese dub already. I think the performances are pretty solid, Narumi and Victor are two that stand out as pretty good so far. Everyone else is just okay, with no standout bad performances. The accents on Elfman (who is German I guess) and Rasputin aren't the worst I've heard, either.

>>529294332
I'm starting to question if Raidoufags are actually women while Vfags are actual fags. There's subtle differences that make me wonder.

>>529306594
We lost 3-1.

It may not have been the most well balanced game, but IV was unarguably the most soulful SMT.

alice acquired, can now go beat the game

>>529310351
Concept art =/= the actual game we got

>>529310351
It is solely because it had people you could talk to and it wasn't a fucking desert like nocturne and V. That's why I found 1 and 2 more interesting, too.

>>529310351

can we finally stop pretending that SJ with it's boring combat system and cbt dungeons is a good game

>>529311585
Pretending?

newfag here, i've now played VV, 4, and 4A. which DS/3DS game should i play next? i'm going to play Nocturne soon but i just got a 3DS recently and am trying to knock some of those out first
i'm leaning towards DeSu

>>529312218
SJ, but be ready for real dungeons unlike those 3 games.

>>529312218
DeSu, Strange Journey (DS) and Soul Hackers are good picks

I hate this post because not only it's fucking retarded, but comes to show how the SMT fanbase is currently filled with Gen Z and nusona fans that disrespects SMT 1 + SMT 2 by treating them like they're some unplayable mess that should not be touched akin to P1 & P2. You should not be playing SMT if you can't handle dungeon crawling or old RPG elements. You should be playing something else like nusona or other modern jrpgs than coming into this community and shitting up the place with your garbage takes.

Shut the fuck up Avery

Naamah's ass on my face

>>529311585
I think demon co-op isn't boring at all and the combat is the fun part of SJ
My balls just haven't grown big enough yet to get through the fucking dungeons

>>529317472
even if it's avery he's not wrong about newfags not respecting smt 1

the 90s games were fucking garbage. stop pushing this narrative that oldsmt was actually good. it was never good.

>>529318462
this but unironically

>>529317890
they're really not so bad other than E and G, and if you play SJR it's braindead because of the field save

>>529318462
If they were garbage then the series wouldn't be alive to this very day.

>>529318645
The only time I played I got obliterated and fact checked by Macabre, in whichever area that boss/mini-boss was. I went to play other megaten since then, I'll return to it someday for another, more educated try.
I'm conflicted about SJ and SJR because the improvements of SJR seem nice but the art looks fucking dogshit, is waifu content worth playing it over og SJ?

>>529318806
this series is alive because of persona. persona is generating all the revenue for atlus.

Who can stop him?

>>529318912
Alex is one of the worst parts. If you play SJR first it will forever stain your soul and we'll all judge you even in the afterlife.

>>529318462
The 90s was the greatest time to be a Megaten fan and zoomers will never know the feeling of getting original games that aren't rehashs or sequels to older titles like IVA and VV

>>529318462
They're not as good as a lot of people say, but they're certainly not garbage. The gameplay is pretty poor but everything else is cool.

I never even played FE but the funny thing about this image to me is that modern FE looks basically like TMS to me. Maybe it's fun but I can't stand the aesthetic and pandering.

This. Something like SMT 2 is million times better than Vengeance.

>>529319093
good to know, thanks

>>529319947
FE has a similar situation as to SMT with how the art style and designs pander to make things more cute and or want people to drool over. Everyone has to have their own back story or look as unique as possible instead of accidentally having Glup Shitto and his brother Slup Ghitto into god killers because you got lucky with their growths. It’s now “here’s this cute character with a terrible backstory please lewd the hell out of them.”

>>529321513
FE always had bishonen and bishojo though.

>>529318912
A good way to experience SJR is to have your first playthrough be SJ (DS) and then have subsequent playthroughs on SJR (3DS). Lets you appreciate the changes in SJR more even with the adage it wasn't play-tested as well as SJ itself was (pretty much the new dungeon becomes your new main story as the original SJ part of the game can't keep up with the new mechanics/progress). I did it and don't regret my playthroughs.

>>529323708
A better way is to play SJ and never play SJR.

Wrong. People used to import japanese exclusive games from special magazines back in the 90s. It's how people learned about the existence of Innocent Sin, a non-shitty version of P1, and obviously the SMT series. You can even find old ass forum posts from the late 90s and early 00s of people playing SMT titles like SMT 2 despite there being no fan-translation yet.

My interest was first piqued in Raidou when my friend and I played Raidou 1 and then 2. I read the manga, tried to listen to the Drama CD and gave up because I don't speak Japanese hardly at all, and then read a machine translation of the novel. I've been playing the remaster but I've had my hands full with real life obligations and I also draw a lot of fanart. I sometimes go looking for some every so often, too, but I can't really find what I want so I make it for myself instead. tl;dr the short answer is yes

Literally the only bad thing about old SMT is that SMT1's gameplay is quite unrefined compared to the other 90s games. They're better than modern SMT where every game feels the same.

SMT1 PS1 or Soul Hackers.

>>529254842
Don't forget the handholding, ridiculously bloated hit points on enemies, skills that became completely pointless due to the change in the system, and shitty rewrites with a shitty reference to COVID instead of SMT1.
>infinitely better fusion
nuSMT fusion is not better than anything.

meh. i beat megami tensei 2 & 1, smt 1 & 2 and i still prefer the newer games. i also tried out majin tensei 2 but quit after how utterly slow the combat was even with emulation speedup. the ps2 and ds games are the best in the series.

My favorite games are VV, SJ, and MT2.

I looked it up and its true, that's wild. It predates the Raidou games so he really must have liked the design.

>>529354931
>Don't forget the handholding,
Even with handholding, it's still more fun to play than Raidou 1. Nobody likes handholding but Atlus is convinced its fans are retarded... which I am inclined to agree when lack of reading comprehension is so rampant among SMT poseurs.
>ridiculously bloated hit points on enemies,
That's how I know you did not play the game and are just repeating what you read because this stops being a problem very early on.
>skills that became completely pointless due to the change in the system,
... such as? I have not seen a single skill that feels more or less pointless than in Raidou 2. Also funny how you talk about the original game when the gameplay of this one is based off of Raidou 2's.
>and shitty rewrites with a shitty reference to COVID instead of SMT1.
Frankly, this is both the result of them going international (and not having given the west the chance to purchase SMT1 on a normal console) and the result of Yamai's multiverse bullshit... which was still present in Raidou 1 and especially 2, because isn't the masks thing a reference to SMTVV's own setting? I could be wrong because I have not played VV yet.

Do you prefer Ryujinx or Yuzu? Just get yourself one of their offshoots and pirate the damn game already.

>>529354931
>skills that became completely pointless due to the change in the system
Such as?

>>529310351
Lol you can erase the top image entirely for how irrelevant Mikado is, the entire game takes place in the bottom image.

>>529372029
Already played it. The HP bloat is very much a problem because Atlus had the bright idea of making even the mob demons have ridiculously high health. It's boring as hell.
>such as? I have not seen a single skill that feels more or less pointless than in Raidou 2. Also funny how you talk about the original game when the gameplay of this one is based off of Raidou 2's
I didn't compare it to Raidou 2 because the remake would compare even more terribly with it. Passive skills such as Devotion and the exp booster skill are pointless because now demons that you're not using still get exp AND loyalty even though it makes zero sense. Phys skills on demons in general have far less punch in this game because Raidou can pretty much handle anything now. Elemental signs are completely inferior to elemental bullets and demon-enchanted bullets in 2, even if it doesn't make the magic demons obsolete. And even if magic demons are still useful in this game, it's ridiculous how early you can get the Magnetize skill (making it so that choosing the right demons for the right job matters even less), as if the game doesn't already shower you with Chakra chips and drops from the beginning. Buffs are also completely unneeded in this game.
>Frankly, this is both the result of them going international (and not having given the west the chance to purchase SMT1 on a normal console) and the result of Yamai's multiverse bullshit... which was still present in Raidou 1 and especially 2, because isn't the masks thing a reference to SMTVV's own setting? I could be wrong because I have not played VV yet.
They explicitly referenced shit like "overcrowded hospitals" so I highly doubt that it's just an SMTV thing. And "multiverse" stuff isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if they wanted to add references to SMTV, then they shouldn't have done it at the expense of references to the older games.

>>529374460
I would say Devotion was always pointless because demons gain loyalty extremely quickly in every game. The EXP gain skill is more or less the same as it was before, I never used it though.
>Phys skills on demons in general have far less punch in this game because Raidou can pretty much handle anything now.
No, I disagree. Though magic was and is always good to have around on your demons, having just Raidou on the field actually makes battles too slow because you can't get enemies in critical state as easily as when you have two other guys around. Having the better gun from 2 would probably help Raidou fight alone by a lot (frankly the new gun sucks).
>Buffs are completely uneeded
Maybe that's why your battle lasts so long, because I do not feel the HP bloat at all after the first chapter or so and I always have some guys that can use buffs. But even before you unlock fusion most battles go by very fast after Dark Tsukudo-Cho.
I do think Chakra items have become even more useless than they were already in Raidou 2. Regular MP items just make no sense when MP is so readily available from just playing. At least in Raidou 2 I had some fringe situations early on where I needed one. Still, I prefer the MAG gain this way, I think it makes the battles flow better.
>And "multiverse" stuff isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if they wanted to add references to SMTV, then they shouldn't have done it at the expense of references to the older games.
Frankly I agree but I see this as a problem with Yamai's vision for the series. Personally the way I liked Raidou was when it only dealt with two timelines, SMT1-2 and DebiSama. Raidou 2 though more or less implied Raidou can also go to Nocturneland and aid Lucifer in his desire to destroy the Great Will so I can see why they are shoving in SMTVV references. I don't like that they removed some of the SMT1-2 references for this but to me it's a problem that goes deeper than which game they decide to reference.

>>529365304

>>529369281
Raidou design isn't....original? It's reused?

>>529377061
Raidou is literally wearing a Taisho school uniform (cape and hat included), the only things his fellow students don't have are the holster for demon tubes and the weapons.

>>529377061
Raidou's design is a Kaneko original, it's just based off that unnamed catholic priest. I am not sure if that illustration is for a book or if it was just a promotional thing, seeing as Kaneko was doing book illustrations in that era and I never found anything else with that same character.

>>529379289
Not sure, I just don't like using it and I barely touched it myself. Maybe some anons who got to play more of the game this week can tell you about it.

>>529375683
>having just Raidou on the field actually makes battles too slow
I phrased it badly perhaps, but what I'm talking about is how useless the Phys oriented demons are now compared to the magic ones. Even if you can't hit weaknesses there's no reason to summon them when Raidou can hit harder regardless of build, because now there are a ton of incenses lying around and Scavenger activates (way more frequently than in the past) even when your demon is in the tube.
>Maybe that's why your battle lasts so long, because I do not feel the HP bloat at all after the first chapter or so and I always have some guys that can use buffs.
I'm more annoyed by how even mob demons require a lot of hits to kill even if you were to hit their weaknesses and slash away. There is no reason at all why mob demons need such bloated HP. Used to be that with normal enemy demons you just need to be careful with their attacks and they die fairly quickly if you hit their weaknesses. Now they're just pushovers with high HP.
>I don't like that they removed some of the SMT1-2 references for this but to me it's a problem that goes deeper than which game they decide to reference.
I personally think it's a pretty terrible sign that they decided to remove references to the original games in the remake of the game that was most closely related to them outside of if... (and NINE maybe, but I never played it). I have no problem with them adding references to newer games, but if they're so allergic to references to games that the old team developed, then maybe they should've made a new game instead of making pointless rewrites.
I like some of the additions they made to this game, but I honestly think that they ended up breaking way too many things in the process.
>>529379289
It's most definitely not a "main weapon" material. Not a lot of skills related to it either,

So Raidou Remastered is slop right?

>>529378972
What country are you in? US here and there's no notice, purchases still available.

>>529380815
No more or less slop than Atlus' modern output I'd say. How would you rank that?

>>529380360
>Phys skills on demons in general have far less punch in this game
>how useless the Phys oriented demons are now compared to the magic ones
Frenzy/Mighty Hit is the best thing a demon can do after hitting a weakness, they hit like a truck even when not hitting a weak point AND they can stun most bosses, don't underestimate them.
>when Raidou can hit harder regardless of build
Not true in the late game, a 40 str, 40 magic Raidou cannot outdamage with a single skill a breath skill from a demon with 40 magic.
>I'm more annoyed by how even mob demons require a lot of hits to kill even if you were to hit their weaknesses and slash away. There is no reason at all why mob demons need such bloated HP.

Random battles are actually faster in the remaster than in the original.

>>529380815
Aside from the removal of SMT 1-2 references, it's definitely an improvement over the original.

>>529380815
The graphics and lightning removed the soul. Better combat though.

You would think that would mean a faster turn around for SMTVI but don't count on it lmao

>>529380815
Raidou remastered improved a lot but also messed up quite a few things as you might've noticed by recent discussion. In my eyes it's not a definitive version of the game despite being a breeze to play through.
My main complaint is precisely that, the game is too easy. The enemies feel spongy, sure, but all it took for me to beat the game was dumping all of my stat points into STR and MAG and fusing a good Lilim early on.
She got to the endgame and having a second demon in battle was mostly optional. That's cool but all I had to do was give her MAG incenses, never I needed to tweak her build or put effort into upgrading her.
It felt like I never needed to plan or account for anything too, the game gives you so much "quality of life tweaks and improvements" but you don't have to pay them any proper attention. They really want to dumb down the experience and let people enjoy SMT/Devil Summoner the same way people enjoy Persona 5. Some boss battles will be a bit more difficult than the rest of the game, but you don't play the game cleverly solving problems like you would in Strange Journey or other games of the series.
Anyway, I will replay this game in the hardest difficulty in the future to see if then I'll actually be challenged and feel the need make better use of game mechanics to solve problems.
I still hope Raidou 2 Remastered releases and it's less brainded that this one.

>>529393207
Yeah, ignore the fact artists draw inspiration from multiple sources. Everything happens because of a single reaason, just like in the bible.

Marsh posted the most brain dead critique of SMTV I've seen yet and I don't understand why people worship him here. Virtually all he can do is read Japanese and edit videos. He has such little knowledge or care for the series overall.

>>529394920
I don't think he really wanted to make those videos, he just got the free copy and made a review for SEGAtlus, basically. But also he is not a critique guy, he just tells the viewer about his playthroughs and if he liked the game or not. I think he is liked because he is genuine and not a tryhard, frankly.

>>529394920
>look up what he said
>"vanilla 5 was a shit nocturne rehash and mostly unmemorable"
Seems like hes right on the money to me
VV raised the bar a little but any attempt to pretend vanilla wasn't tripe is futile

>>529396272
Because everything he said was also a IV problem if not more and he said it started with IVA.

>>529396272
V is thematically and mechanically meant to be Nocturne's opposite while also being a sequel.

>>529396272
Vanilla was pretty good, it only needed some extra oomph from the rerelease. What's "futile" is denying that the general opnion about the game was positive. Sorry to hurt your feelings, but that's the reality.

>>529390576
they won't. it was being worked on before the first game came out, it has all of the bases of a remaster done so it will be even less costly. the team that was working on it won't have much else to do and atlus also doesn't have much else to release.

a next mainline game's release will take long (5 years at least) for the following reasons:
>P6 is ass raping and will continue to ass rape atlus's workforce cause it has all of the signs of a project span out of its original scope
>since it's the only real money maker of the studio, the amount of work and expenses sega will put into it won't compare to any mainline game that came before it. even V with all of the reworking and redoing of systems in unreal included. sega wants infinite growth for all of its most popular IP.

I had written multiple paragraphs about ancient sleeper/man-out-of-time myths, lost-world/hollow-earth literature, ancient archaeology, and the dyschronometria cavers can experience, but realized it was becoming a bunch of bullshit nobody would read.

So instead just have my simple observation that Final Fantasy 3 (NES) and SMT4 share the same story structure.

>FF3 invented alternate worlds

>>529415247
the alternate wοrld stuff in IV is PEAK SMT music

>>529413516
There's nothing new under the sun, and even if I'm not a huge fan of the end product of SMT4 in totality, I think Kaneko's plot ideas were cool and drew from a wide enough variety of inspirations to be worthwhile.

>>529412787
Actually while I was reading up around the topic and doing the usual "comparative mythology hypotext hunt" that I love extending to art of all kinds, I was reading about the Quran's "Hamlet in Ruins" parable. One tradition states that it's a story about how Ezra/Uzair, on seeing the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem and being driven to despair, suggested that even God could not restore such a place, and God struck him dead and resurrected him 70 years later in the restored Jerusalem to teach him a lesson, where no one recognized him until he cured the sight of an old blind woman who had known him. Well, that's kind of what happens to Hero and Heroine in SMT1, isn't it? In a twisted sort of way. I like to think about whether the well-read people at Atlus were aware of these kinds of things when making the games.

>>529415247
Not the alternate timelines thing but a little world chugging along on top of a bigger one where time has stopped. I think it would be overkill to even say for sure that Kaneko played the game though, it's a pretty broad idea and the implementation is so different.

>>529417641
Infernal Kasumigaseki was "we are reaching levels of TRUMEGATEN KINO unseen since the Sega CD". Ryota Kozuka keeps this stupid franchise running on fumes.

>Naruto hyperventilating by sasuke
Yes.

>>529418458
Also while we're in the schizodome it's worth pointing out once again that time is a flat fucking circle. The destruction and restoration of Jerusalem.

I know Atlus will NEVER touch WW2 again even with a ten foot pole especially after the Raidou censorship but man I would really like to see Douglas MacArthur in MegaTen.

Is there any info on what Devil Summoners used to confine and summon demons after WW2 but before the creation of the Demon Summoning Program?
Can't be just tubes and other types of containers, right? In the MegaTen world, has technology ever been used to summon demons before the 90s?

There are nο female demons in Goetia

>>529435894
In Devil Survivor there's that thing about music being a way to control demons, right? I wonder if radios, tape sor the like could've been used to summon them in this time frame you're asking.

Do you think before the events of nocturne demi-fiend ever jerked off to yuko

>>529437579
Having been in that position, yes.

huh? is this real?

>>529435894
The DSP just automates a traditional summoning ritual, the kind you'd see in traditional literature with a pentagram circle etc.

Like >>529436885 is suggesting, as soon as humans figured out how to "play back" stored media, that ritual process could get easier. You need to chant something to summon a demon, like we see Raidou do? Why not just record that and play it back? Music rather than just words adds other layers of complexity, perhaps certain arrangements of notes and emotions can substitute for some of the other steps in a ritual? And of course culturally there's plenty of examples of "cursed tapes" that expose you to an evil spirit when played. Now what if you increase the playback speed to summon spirits faster? Can you get away with that? If you speed it up to unlistenable speeds, would the ritual still succeed?

We don't really know how Raidou's tubes work (I think they're like Solomon-era confinement, like shikigami paper dolls or genie in a lamp), but if there was an interim period of technical breakthroughs in devil summoning, I think that's what it would look like. Even just portable transistor radios could be a weapon if pre-prepared recordings could be broadcast, but the breakthrough for "back-alley summoners" would have been the advent of small handheld portable tape recorder and playback devices in the late 70s. You can imagine the Kuzunohas suddenly in a lot of trouble as any asshole with a Walkman can quickly conjure a pre-prepared demon, no extensive training required.

>>529440234
Yes and it's been posted in these very threads.

>>529440234
>>529441369
Are there any other king abaddon references in the game? An Geirin or Nagi ones?

>>529436885
>>529441024
Hmm, yes... there is also the rise of occult and satanism in the music industry to consider. I think you guys are spot on.

Raidou Remaster says that in Japan, Noh Theathre was used to summon demons in the SMT world and that the tubes supposedly simplify that process. I do not know much about Noh but I am interested into looking it up.

>>529441436
See >>529122808
The screenshot in >>529440234 is part of the same quest.

>>529441436
I know there is a Nagi quest later in the game that's about her High Pixie.
The reference I saw so far that I remember is a comment about Raidou's beautiful singing voice in his profile. In general the lore section written by Gouto references Raidou 2 and side media a bunch.
Raidou 2 demons are also in the game but that goes without saying.

>>529442469
>Raidou 2 demons are also in the game
Not all of them, there's still some missing.

>>529441865
>there is also the rise of occult and satanism in the music industry to consider

I thought about that too. Satanic panic would be kind of a fun backdrop for an SMT fangame.

Persona 4 is kuso idk about the others

>>529455043
mainline is best understood as parables and not modern game stories. there's a lot to read from it if you pay attention but the unconventional structure is the intention. it's supposed to be retelling of mythology, that's why the goddess reincarnates.

I'm surprised Minotaur didn't show up in V/VV considering how much of a meme status it has.

The Lucifer bomber jacket looks cool

>>529468580
It's also 135 dollars but it's cheaper than the Japan only bomber jackets. Less detail too.

>>529468129
The question marks on either side of the Nahobino are fucking with my head and making me assume there will also be designs for the MC and Aogami and they just aren't showing them yet but they are probably there because it's a blind bag. Kind of makes it unnecessarily confusing.

>>529465724
If you want dogshit redesigns then go ahead. I'm pretty sure Minotaur will be redesigned to be a flat-out reference to Kamen Rider

>>529470156

His design and abilities represents all the issues with modern SMT.
>Extremely feminine to the point he can legitimately be confused for a girl
>Heavily inspired from the tokusatsu genre, something that's been a issue for awhile now since IV
>The obvious homosexual undertones of two men fusing to become one being
>All of his unique animations takes forever to finish since the devs cared more about Nahobino being eye candy than just being efficient so the combat doesn't drag on forever
>Has no personality or charisma(I don't care if he's meant to be a self-insert. Every other SMT protagonist like Flynn and Nanashi felt like their own unique characters unlike Nahobino)
>His sword sucks to use when in the field. Can't cut anything besides yellow crystals and grass despite being a literal god
>His knowledge of being Susanoo is mostly half-assed in terms of story
>His existence continues to show Atlus continuing to make every modern megaten protagonist be a literal power fantasy than having some normal guy trying to survive in Tokyo

If I import some level 99 demons from SMTV to SMTVV they just go into compendium, so I won't be able to use them until I'm lv99, right? Meaning it might be wise to fuse something low-level but with good skills and import that?

>>529483535
No, you can summon them right away but you likely won't have the money.
>Meaning it might be wise to fuse something low-level but with good skills and import that?
Yes.

>>529484753
>No, you can summon them right away but you likely won't have the money.
Huh, I guess I can enable money mitamas and farm early on. I mean my initial idea was to import demons purely to get essences for Nahobino Metatron for base resistances and Fallen Abdiel for Repel Phys and something else I haven't decided yet, not to steamroll through the whole game using nearly-invincible max level demons. So maybe it will still work.

you ever feel like nothing actually exists?

>>529468129
are these drawn to look purposefully amateurish... their chibi Raidous they sent via mail are much cuter

>>529468129
i dont think these are doofy enough to capture something like the "nahobeano" charm

>>529468129
I somehow can tell that a western artist did those...

I don't think someone posted the Raidou popularity poll results so here they are:
https://personacentral.com/raidou-popularity-2/
Keep in mind that story characters are included, it's not a demon-only poll.
My wife Mermaid ranked 17th, which is about the same rank she had in the VV poll if you remove story characters.

>>529502097
>Thor-sama in the same placement as Pixie (29th)
I thought it'd be worse desu
>Oshichi 12th
Unexpected epic win
>Alp not even in
Japan's shit taste is so terminal though

I imagine the top 10 or top 15 dictates who gets merch?

>>529503440
>I imagine the top 10 or top 15 dictates who gets merch?
Not always, my wife was ranked better than Cleo in the VV poll but as you can see in >>529468129 she didn't get merch.
I see that as a win

Raidou is so cool, bros

>>529502097

Love when SMT has naughty stuff like this, I couldn't stop edging during the whole if... campaign.

>>529508443
>I couldn't stop edging during the whole if... campaign.
because of the sex mechanic and demon negotiations where they can rape your teammate?

This game would look good if it had only Kaneko art and no kuso ai like this desu

God this general can be embarrassing to read sometimes

>>529508278
Have you thought about how that story and hentai simply have the same roots in horror stories or depressing sacrifical myths (which are plenty in Japan) ?
You remind me of the loons who called Pokémon's latest DLC story inspired by hentai doujins when it was simply a parody of zombie movies

>>529509049
I can't get over that guy who was playing it and posting here when the game launched who was insisting the ai art looked great. he was posting examples of "actually good generations" and they all looked like complete shit, and then when everyone replied to him saying they looked like shit he said "they're supposed to look like shit on purpose because they're generated by a false god in universe"
Actually broke my brain, successfully defeated me
No way to beat that completely circular logic

>>529508278
Hope you're all ready for this to be censored in the raidou 2 remaster

>>529509316
>"they're supposed to look like shit on purpose because they're generated by a false god in universe"
kek... maybe so, but even the supposedly clean and touched up gens of generic Jinma and humans look like ass compared to stuff like picrel. maybe this is all 4d chess from Kaneko to make himself look like a god........

>>529509049
I have no idea what the thing on her belly is supposed to be.
That aside, she's basically an human with a long skirt and a mechanical arm, not exactly what I think of when I hear "Siren".

>>529509525
what is there to censor, it was all done in a modest way. At worst I can see them tone down that one horny tentougami.

>>529509614
the AI just makes shit up using text. No idea which text it uses, probably pulled from Wikipedia since I doubt Colopl is better than Atlus

>>529511128
Yoko's rant was clearly in there because the MC also bitches about cars in the same spot in the original and it was supposed to be more so a complaint about modern conveniences circling back to how Snakes hate modernity and want the caveman times again. But they really shot themselves in the foot using cars as the example because so many Atlus games bitch about cars so it became a meme immediately.
