Atlus Shin Megami Tensei V - It's been hurting my OCD.

The waifu has arrived

Wait, that's not mermaid

 

[Hassar]

Only 3 hours left. Here the english version. I'm hyped to see what poorly written character we going to kill and not care at all this time around





pls bring devil survivor and strange journey writers for the love of *Record scratch*

We will know we have achieved next gen graphics when characters’ hair can fall directly onto their skin and clothes instead of floating stiffly above other parts of the model.

Brute Fuu-Ki: One of the Four Oni used by Fujiwara no Chikata, a noble of legend who quelled Iga and Ise Provinces during the Heian Period. He was a summoned being who possessed the power to cause heavy winds to blow away enemies. He was referred to as one who performed many extraordinary deeds of bravery, or also the origin of the ninja. He uses Zandyne and Titanomachia (medium Phys damage on all enemies, high critical rate), while nothing else is listed.

woohoo slime. The other soul hackers/Strange Journey design is better though.

To some extent I wonder what this marketing is about, those who are most likely to want to buy the games are quite familiar with most of the Monsters shown. And I am not sure what the effect it should have on people who are unfamiliar with the franchise.

Friend of mine told me that the "Die for Me" skill shown in the newest SMT5 trailer is some kind of throwback to the Raidou manga, where he gets sucked into her little mini world (Carnival Wonderland). It's a pretty obscure reference. Maybe a hint towards Raidou making an appearance in SMT5?

I don't think that Die for Me skill is anything new. I'm 99% sure she had that in the mobile game too

What the hell? How did they manage to make Wikia even worse?

How is it worse? Looks way better, has floating index, can expand the page to fit width of monitor, doesn't have fuckhuge worthless bar at the top, loads faster.

He referred to her animation, which does look like a glimpse into a carnival place with lots of sharp objects.

Next is Tam Lin or Cu Chulain.

Aaaaand another teaser/trailer/information video.

 

[Sentinel]

Genma Cu Chulainn: A beautiful hero of Ireland. Son of the sun god Lugh, he was a brilliant and valorous warrior able to defeat an army on his own. Because he rejected the courtship of Morrigan, the goddess of battle, he was cursed to die, being pierced by his own spear, Gae Bolg.

Next: Megami Scathach

 

[d1r]

The more I see about this game, the more I think that this actually could have been another SMT IF... prototype. The Nocturne feeling is kinda gone with such a large cast that follows you around in the game.

Also, ANAHITA'S FUCKING ASS.

 

[Abu Antar]

Saw two demons on the game's site.

 

[Sentinel]

Megami Scathach: A goddess of Celtic myth. She is also the queen who rules over the Land of Shadow. While a sorceress, she is preeminent in martial arts, later becoming Cu Chulainn's teacher and passing the magical spear Gae Bolg to him.

GOD DAMN Anahita

Long haired girl: heroine
Scarf girl: neutral rep
Her bro with the glasses: law rep
Blonde Masao: chaos rep...? He doesn't fit the edgy loner archetype for sure.

I'm also getting Reiko/Hazama vibes from the siblings, design wise.

Maybe they'll bring ideology paths like Nocturne/DeSu2 rather than classic Chaos/Law thing.

Or maybe they could go NiNE route where you have Light and Dark Law for Chaos and Neutral.

They're mostly annoying except for the Prime Minister, who's likely a Lawful Stupid "hero". Hopefully we get to kill most/all of them in some endings.

[Sentinel]

Night Queen Mab: A fairy queen of Celtic myth. Originally, she was something similar to a dream demon, but she was frequently confused with Titania, thereby having her name spread as a queen.

Next: Brute Kin-Ki

 

[d1r]

Brute Kin-Ki: One of the Four Oni used by Fujiwara no Chikata, a noble of legend who quelled Iga and Ise Provinces during the Heian Period. He has a solid body capable of deflecting any weapon, and guided Chikata to victory. He uses Deathbound (medium Phys damage to all enemies), while Berserker God and "Shockbound" are listed.
