Someone needs to start a 'best designed demon' thread to combat that Pokemon one.
We don't need a thread for that, because everybody already knows the answer.
yeah it's Angemon.
LOL, Digital Devils, Digital Monsters.....ehhh, it could work? :p

I mean, cmon, haven't you ever seen a female demon you thought was hotter than any human woman?
I say we take the "best demon design thread" idea, reinterpret "best design" as "hottest" and then everyone wins :B
Also I might have the opposite problem, but since there's fewer hot male demons to choose from [and no, Mara and Arioch do NOT count ;>>], it's more difficult to pick out favourites ^^;
But here's the obligatory Cu Chulainn:

and the literal hottest demon:

Also, is this an older version of Mithra...? If so I want this guy over the lion/snake dude in SMT4 XD


BUT YEA, BACK ON TOPIC, that trailer looks... interesting. Pretty hyped for everything but the VAs, I'm gonna have to mute the voices of the inevitable English dub. I'll be honest, with a game like SMT4 that is set IN Japan, I think the JP track should stay, but for a game like DDS, where the setting was somewhere in the Digital World for the most part [lol] the English dub actually isn't so bad [I've played both versions of DDS1; Argilla's voice in Japanese is HORRIFIC D:].
I'm getting tired of the "Korra" comments too, it's like in every damn thread about SMT4 ffs :/ The ponytail is a hairstyle option in SMT 1.5 [a.k.a. IMAGINE Online], so it could go either way *shrug*

I believe that Mithra model is in Strange Journey as "Mitra". Then later in the game, it becomes "Mithras" with the lion/snake model.

Ohhh really? I didn't get far in SJ, it was kinda boring to get into ._.; This might get me a little more motivated, lol, thanks for the tip XD

I feel you, bro. I used Nekomata for a long time in P3P because I thought she was hot. Always keep Pixie around longer than I should too.

Wha.....What?


UH... ANYWAY, it looks good, and will be getting if ever get a 3DS, I've never completed Strange Journey but I can live with that.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

*Phew*

Though the Laksmis of SMTs/Personas are indeed pretty good ;)

Around 45 secs in, I love how the music just stops, suggesting the player is disgusted haha.


Although I do agree that some of them are attractive, why not right? ;)

Sorry this is off topic, but did anyone have a habit of having female Persona's and Demon's as your favourite to use in SMT/Persona games?

What is wrong with me!?

My favorite is always Vishnu and will always be.
But some female demons design really wowed me, like Tiamat's redesign in Soul Hackers or Asherah's redesign in Strange Journey.

Edit: oh and BTW
Mara is a female HAHA.

I mean, cmon, haven't you ever seen a female demon you thought was hotter than any human woman?

I hope you're quoting this from Strange Journey as a joke...
 
Thank you for the responses everyone! I guess I'll start with Nocturne.

Which games cause motion sickness for you? I can't imagine Strange Journey would, since there isn't a huge amount of motion.

Largely anything in first person (though if I have a headache basically anything with a moving camera at all). Some are worse that others.

Lol, I was a little weirded out by the turn this thread took until I saw the video.

As for the best demon design (not hottest, since i can't recall any of the male personas actually being all that attractive), I thought Rangda in Persona 4 had an interesting design. that's the only one I can think of offhand (and my only experience with the series is watching the Endurance Run, so it is kinda limited), but I think the designs are pretty great overall.

Yeah I hope the same artists come back for SMT and Persona 5, or at least someone as good or better.

The unique designs/art style makes fusions etc so much better.

Website updated (clear your cache if it shows the same thing). Nothing much other than a full new BGM track for SMT4, and a silhouette of the main character. Maybe they'll update again next week...

Nothing much? That piece of music is awesome! Reminds me a little of Deus Ex.
Who's doing the soundtrack, Meguro?
 
Do they usually release the OST for Megaten games in the west?
No, usually what we get is a stupid sampler disc with the games. There have been exceptions, though. Persona (PSP) came with the full soundtrack and Persona 4 came with half of the soundtrack. In order to get the other half of the soundtrack you had to buy some very limited merchandise set thing, it was bullshit.

Boooo-urns Atlus :(

The composer isn't Meguro. It's the other guy who did Nocturne's soundtrack whose name escapes me atm.

Oh nose...

I hoped it was Meguro. Bah, this only further hints at Persona 5 being in development.
But I think it's kind of a shock to see Atlus book their star composer on what is supposed to be the spin-off series. Do they think P5 will be a bigger hit than SMT IV ?

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
That new track is shit hot. Proof that SMT is indeed back. Cannot wait.

P5 will be a bigger hit than SMTIV. It's only natural that they prioritize that project.

Wish it was the other way around and the mainline series had a larger mainstream appeal. But hey... At least we're getting more SMT so I ain't complainin'.

Also, the new track is the shit.

P5 has been confirmed to be in full development for nearly a year now. Meguro, Soejima and Hashino are all working on it full time, which is why none of them were really involved in P4G or P4U.

I do kind of wish Meguro was doing this OST though.

After hearing P4A's soundtrack and SMT4's preview BGMs, I for one am glad that Meguro isn't working on SMT4.

Meguro is very good in switching musical styles to perfectly fit the mood of a game. I'm sure this game would benefit from Meguro.

I must say however, that the track on the official site is all kinds of awesomeness, Meguro or not.

Ehh Atlus has two great series both with amazing games and GAFers will still find something to complain.

This game.... this fucking game.

Cut my fingers before I get to play it otherwise, I would die a happy man the moment I 100% it.

OMG that music. I've been listening to that track for 2 hours now. It's awesome.
I'm glad that Meguro isn't the main composer. He did some awesome battle theme for Nocturne though so I will welcome him if he contribute in something like that. If he's willing to do a Persona 3/4 like music, no thanks.
I also hope that Tsukasa Masuko contributes for an epic soudtrack. The last game he was credited in which I'm aware was Super Smash Brothers Brawl where he did a kick ass remix of a Metroid track.

Call me crazy but what would a game with a soundtrack composed by Meguro, Masafumi Takada and Akira Yamaoka be ? A game powered by God ?
