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

[Sentinel]

Jirae Narcissus: A flower god of Greek myth known for loving himself, his appearance changed into that of a narcissus. He was originally an extremely beautiful young man, but was cursed to only being able to fall in love with his own reflection from a pool of water.

Next: Foul Legion

Next is... that new weird dog demon.

 

[Sentinel]

Holy Hayataro
A spirit dog raised in Kozenji, a temple in Nagano, the legend of his eradication of monsters remains. After the battle, the monsters were destroyed, but he was also injured, and passed away in front of the high priest.

You're a little bit too late to the party.

 

[Silva]

So, any actual gameplay footage or we'll keep shilling for tamagotchi GFX until release?

 

[Zeriel]

You don't understand that most of the money these small Japanese companies make isn't even about selling the game, it's about selling a special edition, figurines and other derived plastic products that have very high margins. That is why most Japanese developers don't care about the Steam market.

Selling digital products you've already made has near-infinite profit margin though. I somehow doubt the cost of partnering with someone who can produce physical memorabilia is less than the cut Steam takes. From what we've heard from various companies doing Kickstarters, the collectibles are loss-makers. While that is probably in some part due to amateurishness and inexperience, I would wager what keeps JP developers out of the market is simply uncertainty and inertia.

Femme Manananggal: A witch from Siquijor of the Philippines. She can separate her upper and lower halves, fly with bat wings growing from out of her back, and attacks people, draining their blood. She uses her unique skill, Sanguine Drain (weak Almighty damage which drains HP from one enemy; lowers Attack by one stage for 3 turns), while Zanma, "Venom Hunt," Zionga, and another skill (can only see 液) are listed.

I love this demon already. Also: That ass rub!

 

[Maxie]

Demeter next

 

[Sentinel]

Wonder if Asherah and Maya will be in or if they won't allow any new Kaneko demons since they seem to have blacklisted the man after stealing all his designs.

 

[Puukko]

Really nice animations on this one.

Water mommy next

Megami Anahita:
A goddess of Zoroastrianism and Persian myth who governs over rivers and bodies of water. She is described as a noble and beautiful maiden, but at the same time depicted as a goddess of war riding a four horse chariot to defeat demons and tyrants. She uses her unique skill Hellish Spurt (medium Ice damage to all enemies), while Diarama, Rakunda, Matarunda, and another skill ending with "-on" are listed.

So they will waste another slot for Pokemon?

So they will waste another slot for Pokemon?

This is probably one of the worst demon designs in SMT history.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Any ideas who is next demon?

 

[LJ40]

Any ideas who is next demon?

Looks like Shiisaa.

 

[e-mailio estevez]

Aww, look at its little dance!

 

[Maxie]

same series which gave us jack frost is somehow worse off with a cute doggy
i dont get it

 

[Momock]

It's not cute, it's like a marshmallow man wearing a creepy fox helmet. I don't understand why it's not just a fox. From the description I understand that it's not even a god or spirit, just that the ainus thought that foxes gave them warnings with their howls. So it shouldn't even make it as a demon...

 

[Sentinel]

Holy Shiisaa: A holy beast that protects homes from all evil and grants good luck. Its appearance resembles that of a guardian lion-dog, but it is actually designed after a lion.

Next: Fallen Eligor

Drake Basilisk:
A winged, wicked dragon said to live in northern Africa. Possessesing a crest resembling a crown, its name means "king of snakes." Its breath and glare are powerfully venomous, killing humans and animals instantly. It uses Poison Breath, Venom Chaser (localized name confirmed in newest batch of screenshots - weak Phys damage on one enemy; power increases if target is poisoned), and Ice Dracostrike (medium Strength-based Ice damage on one enemy), while Matarukaja and the Big Bang Magatsuhi Skill are listed.

It's actually Basilisk.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

It's actually Basilisk.

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