>>545863968
I've been thinking about getting into drawing. Haven't really done it since my early teens.

>>545856524
I remember dropping If... because it had some part where you had to run around and fight random encounters for hours before the game let you continue. Fuck this shit.

Bro, who the fuck cares if I shock my demons? Didn't you know there's a genocide being committed by YHVH right now?

>>545869859
Left is but with a different design. He's the World of Sloth boss.

>>545869859
we wuz demons

>>545856524
yeah, if... is so based.
>hazama is the best written character in megaten history.
idk if i'd say that but he is pretty good. the minimalistic but atmospheric storytelling worked well in his favor.

>>545869859
left looks like balaam, so yes, he's in the game... as an optional boss. right isn't in the game though.

>>545875602
>balaam
His Kaneko design in mobile AI game is kino. I used it in my fangame.

>>545877142
Sorry but this design sucks really bad. The legs are badly drawn with awful fur rendering and the three heads look tacked on, there's no cohesion. The pose is stiff. The eagle looks like it was drawn separately and then awkwardly pasted in later. I say all this as a Kaneko fanboy - the AI game has some of his worst work. The if design, even just as a sprite, looks so much better.

Fallen Kaneko

Tyrant Yamai
Foul Ishida

If... still sucks.

>>545879375
If what sucks?

"New Vegas is honorary smt" bros...

>>545877142
that's actually cool looking. maybe i'll go back to playing the mobile game every so often.

>>545877634
the heads do look weird in the ps1 render >>545869859. i think if... balaam benefits from the more vague pixel art.

>>545880365
The PS1 render was drawn years after the original game iirc, so its effectively a new design.

>>545877634
they do get the bird way more natural looking though. even balaam's arms in the if... art have a more natural pose for holding a bird.
but i still think the mobile one us pretty cool despite the bird looking weird there.

>>545880632
the newer rendering style kaneko started using in the ps1 days just generally has a plasticky look that looks odd with certain details.

but in the other hand, since designs greatly benefit from this style...

>>545880992
*some designs greatly benefit from this style

>>545877634
I agree with the heads. The Bull/Ram should be coming out the shoulders I think.

>>545880992
I feel like this artstyle was made more for being adapted into 3D.

>>545882497
maybe true but didn't kaneko start using it before atlus was making 3d models? then again, he still would've likely known atlus was preparing to make the jump to 3d.

It's kinda fucked up that the black sheep entries ended up becoming the face of SMT while the traditional ones are either disliked or mostly forgotten

>>545955279
>he black sheep entries ended up becoming the face of SMT
nocturne is only the face in the west

>>545955279
"Feturing dante from the devil may cry series" did a lot of help for nocturne in the west, like imagine if that deal didn't go through, SMT might have unironically died with nocturne.

I think he's talking about the choice to betray the Maribel but I don't remember if that even alters any cutscenes or dialogue.

Remember when people said that VV would use the SMT 2 design despite the Doi redesigns outright replacing them

what if every single demon got redesigned by Doi

>>545993867
Nu-SMT fags would unironically say "It's completely justified since Doi is the current demon artist and Kaneko is a washed up hack."

>>545993105
Protip: use Luminescent Mirage every turn

>>545993991
>It's completely justified since Doi is the current demon artist
No
>Kaneko is a washed up hack
Yes

>>545994940
>No
If people are fine with redesigns that are heavily inferior to the original(Look at Artemis & Tiamat), then they wouldn't mind if Doi ended up reworking all the pre-existing demons to his image. Especially when there's now more Doi fanboys than Kaneko fans.

SMT2 Tiamat looks like some Gorgon parody from a low-budget horror film

Soul Hackers Tiamat looks like a primordial water deity that births monsters, with a cybernetic flair befitting the game she's from

Vengeance Tiamat looks like a cheap plastic toy

>>545993105
Anyone know what his health value is? When I tried him on my first run what struck me most was the sheer size of that fucking health bar. He makes Demifiend look like he's made of paper. Him nigh invalidating crit builds doesn't help either.

Speaking of Demifiend, beating him probably makes Satan a lot easier. As a guest he's a second chaotic will user and has solid overall abilities.

That's not what it means. It's what the Nahobino says during the revival chant skill. It's one of the 10 types of purification chanted at Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine rituals. This one is for reviving the dead.

Bring back blobbers.

Am I retarded if I always make my mc a strength build? Me like critical big damage attacks, no like using mp

>>546004596
is there even an SMT game where doing a strength build sucks? magic or guns might be better in some cases but I can't think of a game where str is plain bad

>>545997323
>Doesn't replace Diana.
They could easily used her original design from KMT if they wanted her to stand apart from Diana. But instead we got a redesign that's nothing more but a blatant lazy reference to Saint Seiya, as if Doi was trying to appeal towards Latin Americans.

The anniversary pic spam has started. I wonder if Doi will join in.

>>546004696
Technically SMT4? Dex was better since it affected guns and phys skills. But Str was only normal attacks.

>>545999171
Damn, I thought the right idea was to do CoV and beat Satan to uncap levels so you can beat Masakado and Demi-Fiend in CoC

>>546059334
STR scales phys skills as well, just worse than DEX for some reason lmao

>>546059683
I'd rank the bosses in terms of difficult as Masakado < Demi Fiend < Satan < Super Masakado

>>546031851
SMT beach day.....

>>546070116
SMTV beach dlc, when?

>>546066461
Welp, I guess the purpose of doing CoV first is to get Luminescent dodge for Masakado in NG+

>>546075241
I didn't need it for regular Masakado, I just went full throttle buffing/debuffing/dealing damage. Super might be another story. Though see it mentioned a lot I don't know what use Luminescent Mirage will be. Once he starts spamming almighty your other party members are still eating shit and you're not soloing him with his healing.

>>546076753
idk man. I fought Masakado before and it seemed like you need the dodge tank skills from CoV. No amount of Buffs/Debuffs/Overheals stopped him from OHKOing me

I think this is the first year I haven't beaten a Megami Tensei game in 14 years. I did replay The Answer on my PS2 and I've been replaying Persona 4 with a friend, but we haven't finished it yet and won't by the end of the year. I've failed you /smtg/.

>>546140625
>Vfags made me this way.
It's not just Vfags. It's also If... and Raidou fags as well. I'll never forget how we had to deal with a annoying anon who wanted to fuck Hazama really bad and nobody here told them to stop because they thought the anon was unironically a girl.

>>546140359
I mostly have only lurked for the past couple of years

why do you keep drama posting about off topic shit and schizos?

>>546142662
I did tell him and Raidoufag to have their conversations in private instead of on here. I forget if they listened to me or not.

>>546142921
Because the games suck now.

>>546143019
so you'd rather shitpost about people that don't even post here anymore?

>>546142921
SMT V was discussed to death and barely anyone here even bothered with the Raidou remaster.

>>546142921
>"There could be schizos here" he thought. The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "With a car you could go anywhere you want"

>>546143154
and this isn't the schizo general. talk about megaten or take your conversation elsewhere.

Which gameplay is better; blobbers or press turn?
You can add in spin off mechanics if you like

>>546143996
press turn is more fun but the blobbers usually have have a more atmospheric presentation.

>>546144117
I feel something similar regarding that. Like the press turns but that’s generally for 3D esque games (4/4A as an example of 2D/3D). You can’t combine both of them due to how frustrating it could be to deal with high encounter rates and then the slog of random press turns battles, then adding in the dungeon gimmick traps, but man do the blobbers feel good to play

>>546144453
>You can’t combine both of them due to how frustrating it could be to deal with high encounter rates and then the slog of random press turns battles, then adding in the dungeon gimmick traps,
yeah, that would be annoying. probably partly why atlus never made a blobber press turn game. and also 3d games were the new big thing to get into so why go back to 2d for new games?

what makes the blobbers feel good to play for you?

>>546144972
Filling the map, being smart with traversal and avoiding traps, and the overall exploration aspect of each dungeon. Pain in the ass while playing but overall enjoyable, especially when you have a fun boss at the end of it. Battle wise, it’s soothing sometimes to go auto battle on trash mobs or mess around with the party arrangement for better strategies. Probably a reason why I go back to strange journey sometimes, or he’ll even play eramegaten. When the dungeons have been properly implemented in it, it’s great.
