It's actually Basilisk.

So it's like in SMTII where Basilisk was a bird.

It IS a cockatrice. It's also a basilisk.
In Hellenic and Roman legend, a basilisk (also called a cockatrice) was a serpent-like creature capable of destroying other creatures by way of its deadly stare
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/basilisk

While there have been more varied depictions in art history under the name basilisk, for all intent and purpose they've always been the same creature. They 'both' are part lizard/draconic creatures that also have a death glare. If you look at ancient mythical drawings of a Cockatrice... you will find it looks very much like SMT's Basilisk. And that sometimes they're also called... basilisks.

The differentiation of the two as being separate mythical existence is a D&D thing. Like for any mythical creatures being spread from originally vague descriptions, there's a variety of visual depictions, sometimes with more draconic wings, sometimes with more rooster-ish wings, sometimes they're snake with wings, but no matter how the representations differ, they always point at the same creature.

Raidou Kuzunoha is not a name but title.

Inanna is dope. Don't care about Danu nor Sukuna Hikona but it's a sign moar Doi demons will made into a geam - Odin is pretty much confirmed but I also hope for Maitreya, Mitra-Buddha, Ancient of Days, Adramelech...

Another great non dungeon trailer for a non dungeon crawling game.
They really did remove dungeons it seems.Or at least gave it the persona dungeon treatment.

Femme Lachesis: One of the three Moirae Sisters said to have been entrusted by the chief gods with the control of fate in Greek myth. She measures the thread that Clotho has spun and determines its length. Its length is the length of one's life.

That voice is... something.

Also, there are four Kuzunoha families and each successive leader of said family inherits the title. One of those names isn't known, so there's a possibility.

I think i'm gonna play it with the voices turned off.
You'd have to wonder if they'd bother adding the option for it unless enough people complained, sometimes they won't even bother adding the option to turn off 'secondhand voices' for games without a 'complete dub' for the whole game.

Divine Power:
A middle angel placed sixth in the hierarchy of angels [TN: 能天使, "Noutenshi," is the term used for Powers in Japanese]. His name means "power of God." In order to prevent the invasion of demons in heaven, he is always standing in the front line, patrolling the corridors of heaven. He uses White Dracostrike and Mahama, while Fang Breaker, Light Block, and a Magatsuhi Skill "301,600,000 Lights" (三億百六十万の光) are listed.

the trailer was amazing, even thou it probably spoiled who'll be the order and chaos route characters.

hoping for interesting routes, IV was mediocre and IV : A was terrible in this aspect.

Next: Hanuman

BTW - there is Masukukaja, like in modern Persona so there will be distinction between single target and groups buffs.
