Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I just knew he was the first time I saw him. I thought it was fairly obvious, but maybe that's just me.

I thought it was obvious too but I can see what SpaceBridge means. It is a big spoiler and also not necessary since we have spoilertags on this board.
 
One of my favorite part of the series is guessing and discovering who is Lucifer.

Uh spoiler alert dude, it's always the character labeled "Mysterious Blonde _______"

I just knew he was the first time I saw him. I thought it was fairly obvious, but maybe that's just me.

That's because the first time you see him, the Lady in Black explains that you're in the depths of hell with the ones who were cast down by God and want to rebel again. She says this as both of them are positioned underneath a goat head.

When you finish the first Kalpa, she straight up says "The fallen angel has bestowed upon you great strength."

Have to say I agree, there seems to be some people In this thread that are getting their curiosity piqued from this announcement. I say the more Megaten fans the better! I just recently gig into the series myself a couple years ago, not trying to be a tool, just was observing the potential new players/questions/ tone of the thread I would put tags.
 
Isn't Nocturne called Lucifer's Call?

If anything it's just a good thing for newcomers to be aware of. I remember some gaffer a while back doing some hand wringing over being a Christian and playing these games.
It's a game where the protagonists align with demons. I'd like to think that person could have figured out the game is not his/her territory quite early on.

the pics in siliconera makes it look like it a medieval setting mixed with cyberpunk.

Atlus has localized almost everything MegaTen-related since SMT3, so I wouldn't worry.

Eternal Punishment PSP would disagree with you.

EDIT: I just saw that you said 'almost'. Whoops.

Either way, this will probably get localised, I wouldn't worry.


But I still want EP and Soul Hackers. :(

I never played this game what should I expect from it? Some of the videos I saw of the older version look interesting is it a dungeon crawler rpg like Etrian Odyssey?

Neophyte here, is this persona? Or different?

Here ya go.

Gimme dat 3D Cu Chulainn already!

Mara AR function confirmed.

i don't think that's kaneko character art. i know there is very little to go on, but..

I wont know for sure until they turn around and I see kohl-rimmed eyes and colorless bottom lips. I will say that few animation houses do my favorite character designers' distinct looks any justice, so this may be why they lack that "look" from what we've seen.

I hope its not as hard as nocturne, that game was brutal.

IT NEEDS TO BE MORE BRUTAL. MATADORS ERRWHERRR.

Japanese release is still too recent to be sure it's not coming.

Considering their recent track record of announcing these things fast, it's not looking good.

All the recent SMT releases were confirmed before the JP release.


By the time enough people start worrying, it'll be too late.

What that isn't Persona 4-related was confimed before the JP release?

Persona. I think Innocent Sin was too. A better question is what wasn't?
Innocent Sin came out 4/14/11 in Japan. It was announced by Atlus USA on 5/24/11.
Strange Journey came out 10/8/09 in Japan. Atlus USA announced it 11/5/09.

As for Eternal Punishment, I am not expecting it. However, Atlus USA does seem to be a little bit behind since they haven't even announced EO4 yet, and that is most certianly due.

I'm still worried, and I think more people taking notice and/or action is very warranted.

Sony laxing up on PSN regulations in regards to the PSP might allow for a digital release. Doesn't exactly seem like Atlus's style though... I mean, how would they give you free shit?

Yes, someone should write a scathing editorial on HG101 immediately.

Ha, Nich poking fun about such a deadly serious matter can only mean one thing, stealth confirmation of an Eternal Punishment Deluxe Edition release!

would take full price digital edition at this point

Isn't it morning in Japan now, why is it taking so long to get the actual movie, are leakers afraid for some reason?

It's a given Atlus will pull those off the web the moment they go up, so if it goes up, best have your finger on that download trigger.

My planned Vita purchase is quickly becoming questionable.

I don't see why anyone would bother with a Vita a this point. I'm not a fanboy of any system, but it's pretty clear to me that the 3ds is where the games are going to be.

DJ MAX is a pretty solid exclusive. It isn't SMT IV or Soul Hackers, but a good system seller.

Buying a system for just one game is ridiculous to me, there need to be at least 10-15 games (either already released or coming soon) I'm interested for me to consider buying a system.

Agreed, but hey, it's a start! (Never thought DJ MAX would literally be the best thing Vita has going for it.)
