Well, I'm glad it's been settled in any case. What did you guys think of the trailer?

I think the "apocalypse" will be something related to the destruction of technology. The spreading vine in the trailer suggests something like nature reclaiming the building.

There's a subbed version of the trailer, although the translations could be better.

I hope they don't wait 30 years to release the game in the West.

I am creating a large egg/cocoon that will transport the chosen posters above the firmament while neogaf below is sealed. Hoy this post if you wish to be counted among the flock.

SMTV can hopefully be localized by 2019 or something but you know how things are...

UNLESS... Nintendo jumps on this and helps Atlus with localization.

 

[ReyVGM]

Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei were once released primarily on Nintendo platforms, now everyone is acting as if Sony owned the exclusivity or something?

"Everyone"

No? I actually don't even see one person claiming Sony owned exclusivity. Might wanna take an eye exam!

From what i've seen it's mostly people who don't understand the Megami Tensei umbrella/Atlus marketing

I hope this doesn't take forever to come out like Persona 5 did. I'm buying Switch as soon as SMT V release date for west is confirmed.

I hope they do something and do a worldwide release. I guess I can play the JP version, but I hope it doesn't come to that.

Mother fuckers actually thought this would come to PS4 laughingemoji laughingemoji

Actually I think people were expecting 3DS.

My friend just got a New 3DS XL so he's fuming.

Cool trailer but i was expecting some REAL INFO lol.

Eh? This was the HD game. The 3DS game has already been announced, right?

Whelp, time to buy a Switch now.

Yeah, Strange Journey anime edition

Depends on whether or not Nintendo steps in. I hope they do. Even if it's a month later, that's fine.

Did he only buy it for this game? Because we've known this game was coming to Switch for over 6 months.

Same here.

On topic, I hope the game starts in normal everyday tokyo and we witness the apocalypse like in SMT1 and Nocturne.

 

[AGITΩ]

will probably be my first actual SMT game. Playing P5 and Tokyo Mirage Sessions got me curious about the main series.

 

[Nobility]

Hope I can play this in the shower while someone is in there (she's bi).

 

[TP]

Can't cheapen out now, break the bank
get those dlc demons ready Atlus

 

[Newniverse]

So funny enough, I just got into the series like 2 days ago by emulating Persona 4. Im having lots of fun, but as someone whose clueless of the series as a whole, whats the difference between this and the Persona games??

Well for one you dont summon demons here like you do in Persona. Instead you recruit demons as part of your party. In SMT the biggest focus mostly on dungeon crawling and there is no calendar system like in P3-5.

 

[DJwest]

Switch system seller for me. Can't wait!

Grow up.

Lol I don't even know how to begin...

Persona...Persona... is my favorite series. You're a teen trying to save people and you have powers.

SMT... is vastly more dark and complex. Persona can be dark and complex too but SMT takes it to another level.

So would it be fair to say its a "different strokes for different folks" deal or is one ideally better than the other? Persona 4 is my first game in the series (im at the Kanji boss at the moment) and I love some of its darker tones.

 

[ivysaur12]

Can you recruit demons from following them into the shower?

 

[RobotVM]

I think this can sell quite a lot if they can give it the Persona flair but darker. It needs style.

No social links, no high school setting, different but similar battle style

SMT games are set in a post apocalyptic Tokyo with plenty of dungeon crawling, labyrinths, puzzles, and higher difficulty (usually). And most of the time you're gonna end up killing your friends instead of forming bonds with them. Most of the time.

 

[Nesther]

If I hadn't gotten a Switch by now, this'd be the game that would push me to buy one, just like SMTIV back then. I hope Kaneko goes back to doing all the character/demon art instead of being the scenario writer though.

 

[Ex-Psych]

I wish this thread got made minutes after the trailer.

All the raw potential reaction, never to be seen

 

[EDarkness]

I agree. I was hoping they would have said more about the game. The trailer was really vague.

Yeah, really bad timing.

SMT in a nutshell

Persona is also more about self discovery and coming to peace with yourself.

SMT is also about self discovery in how you either want the world to burn to be saved. Lol

Lmao... so true... cherish your friends in SMT before somebody has to die.

Look if enjoyed Press turn combat in Persona then I say give try. The combat can be much tougher than Persona but they are satisfying.

If you can emulate Nocturne on your PC or own PS3. I would say start with that game because in my opinion, Nocturne has the best Press Turn combat than any SMT/Persona.

Is it like Persona where I can just come in with 5? Or do I need to play the first one to know what the heck is going on?

 

[jorgeton]

Well fuck. Guess I need to get a Switch now.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Trailer looks interesting. Hopefully we get more info soon beyond the famitsu coverage.

Not entirely

2 is a direct sequel to 1
3 is stand alone
Strange Journey is stand alone
4 is stand alone BUT Apocalypse is a direct sequel to 4

SMT 3 is a highly recommended way to start the series
