Yeah, kind of a "What if pre-conception Nocturne was in Strange Journey?" thing.
Funny, while I first bought the european version I think I like Danger more.

Me too, it has more urgency to it. Another reason why Atlus USA themselves said they changed it. Pray is beautiful, but too... slow?

Yep. Weird, but interesting.

It's neat and a dungeon crawler RPG in that vein was the best-case scenario for The Lost Child. But it wasn't meant to be

I can't believe QDS Avatar Tuner vol.2 finally exists as a thing. It's been so long I forgot it was getting translated. At this rate it'll be 2028 by the time vol.3-5 are even out.
Cool. Still haven't bought a copy of the first one, but I guess I should considering vol.2 is happening. I wasn't sure it was actually going to pan out. Dunno if I'll dig it, but I adore the Digital Devil Saga games so I feel I need to support something like this.

The first volume is very much in line with the story of the games, it starts to deviate at around the second if I recall correctly.
I just hope they keep translating them. But like it's been over 3 years.

It's a bit different but yeah, it starts to really diverge toward the end of the first volume.
That reminds me to ask Kevin Frane about something later on in the series

It's fucking nothing! Nice hand-waving, Doi.
I wonder if we are going to see something about the SMT Switch project in the Nintendo direct today. I mean, I know Dragon Quest XI was announced before a lot of other games, but wasn't shown in the January event, but for some reason Atlus shown the teaser for a unexpected project at the time.
Many people in other threads are saying this Nintendo direct is going to be the more important from this year, so to see a continuation of everything we saw in the Janurary event sounds like a possibility.

I seriously, seriously, doubt it, but I want to believe there is a chance. I still think at most we get a slightly more informative teaser trailer than the one we got in January, or maybe something like the first SMTIV trailer we got.
There's so much shit that is highly likely to be there, plus what we already know, that I really doubt that we will see SMT Switch.
They might mention SJ Redux though.
I don't mind a teaser, in fact. I think the game will be a 2018 Fall game, or early 2019, maybe lol.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind it either, but I don't even expect a teaser at this thing.
Then again this game existing and using UE4 was a huge surprise in the first place.
So it will be summer 2019 for the West then, got it.

First screenshots of Dx2 (the mobile game)....actually looks...kind of interesting? There seems to be dungeon crawling of some kind in it, it has Press Turn. While I'm not expecting mainline depth, maybe it will still be up to Fire Emblem Heroes quality?

But Heroes is awful.
I disagree. I thought it was alright. I didn't go into FE Heroes expecting a fully qualified FE game, aka Shadows of Valentia presentation values.

I only recall that you can clean up Club Zodiac if you hear from demons that Kiyohime is a neat freak. There's more, but yeah.
I remember having to ask for information to continue the story in at least one part.
I was playing the EOV demo and suddenly I was wondering if SJR is going to be have a faster dungeon exploration, because, duh, surely is based in the latest EO games.
Looks like you can "run" in SJR, but I can't tell if is as fast like in EOV: https://youtu.be/rcy1EvrKSoY?t=1m41s
Still, it's a improvement over the original game.

That's also the first time I have seen footage of the save anywhere functionality. It looks like there is some kind of difference between a regular save (probably terminal) and field save, but I couldn't really tell what it was. At first I thought it might be just a temp save for being able to shut off the system, but that doesn't appear to be the case since he field saved, talked up Demonee-Ho, then had that battle, lost, loaded up the field save and was back at Demonee-Ho.
this is the first time we've seen Kandori in 3D right? I also love that there's a flashy wipe for a giant foot.

Kanbari you mean? Yeah. There are a lot 3D debuts there, or at least many whose only 3D appearances were NINE or Imagine such as Kresnik, Sleipnir, and Hathor.
Yeah, I think that and the 3D models from Persona 5 will definitely get reused.
I'm more curious about that mobile game. One of the trailers had an actual dungeon, and I'm curious where that was. I hope that game comes to the US, but I doubt it.

Did they mention anything about the FTP aspect of it? I was watching the footage and noticed that there seemed to be a step counter - wondering if it's just a stamina cooldown deal
Beautiful.

I would flip my shit. Don't get me wrong action games are fun and I really like the Raidou games. But damn, do I still want so turn-based games. They're my jam.
11pm Central tonight. I'm fucking excited. I hope we see SMT Switch.
Thanks!!
