I dunno! It doesn't seem outlandish though.
Ah, my bad.
Well, at least I can still hope for a new Raidou game. He's such a fun character. I miss him.
Well, that's a spinoff too. And they didn't do a thing for Devil Summoner's 20th anniversary! Where's a demon detective to look into this when you need one

If this is an HD title on PS3/PS4/Switch, I wonder how people are gonna react to the inevitably lower demon count. Didn't SMT4A have like 450+ demons?
Persona 5 already has more 3D demons than SMT3 did, so I don't think fans will be upset.

There's 225 demons in P5, if I'm not mistaken, right? I guess if they can get it close to 300 that wouldn't be too bad.

Demons? No. There's about 190. The rest are party member and DLC Personas, which obviously wouldn't be used in an SMT.

Having half a thousand demons sure as hell didn't do the gameplay any favors. Copy pasted stats everywhere and no skill inheritance rules meant that I sometimes didn't even look at the shit I was fusing. Quality over quantity plz.
Which one? The original dungeon crawling RPG one? Yes. The Raido games? No.

If you asked me how many demons are in old SMT games I wouldn't be able to tell you

The first one. It's still not considered a mainline game though.
I hope we get a 3DS port of the first one
lol at people still thinking this when we're talking about Atlus, especially when they just had an anniversary for the Persona series last year which resulted in Persona 5's release.
I think honestly anything more than 150 is satisfactory. There needs to be a good range for base demon seeds across the different races and stuff so the player has a sense of variety early in the game. But once you get to the upper tiers, less is usually better simply to allow for balance of stronger top-tier demons and making them feel more unique. So anything more than that is generally just gravy and filler.
Atlus mention about 25th anniversary at Dengeki Playstaion Magazine's interview so I think it is coming to Playstation at least..
However that only grants the "25th anniversary" thing comes to PS and not necessary SMT5
idk, atlus putting I through IV into the spaces surrounding a pentagram and then the word "next" into the fifth empty slot is pretty suggestive. not that i don't doubt atlus' prowess when it comes to meaningless announcements, but it's kinda on them if people get hype
This is where I'm at, I was raised thinking I could leisurely make my way through mainline SMT games pls slow down Atlus.

Interesting. I'd be okay with a Nocturne remake, with voice acting this time.
Just saw the scan and it was from Famitsu lol, so it may be Switch exclusive
Again it shouldn't be pointing to SMT5, and I think SMT5 would miss this year
You forgot SMT4 + SMT4A remastered in HD using the P5 engine
I need this thing... and all those you posted

How does it being in Famitsu imply Switch exclusive?

That's what I'm hoping for. And still hoping to see a SMT Nocturne/Digital Devil Sagas remaster collection.

I really wish they would rerelease the Kazuma Kaneko WOrks art books in a set in the US like they did The Sky (which I just got for Christmas). Also bring out the OG SMT games for Android or some other platform than Apple devices, because I will never own one.
DDS Remaster would put me over the moon tbh
I mean, I can still play the originals, but still.
Please reveal yourself, Kaneko
Yeah, same. They really don't need as many demons as 4 had. Plus I'm sure they'd add some demons to the P5 batch anyway, so you'd end up with a good number of them.

Aww yeah.
Wait, I'm still barely into Apocalypse...
It'd be cool if it was both Shin Megami Tensei V and a Shin Megami Tensei I, II and if remastered collection.

I can't wait. There basically isn't any series in the industry I respect more than SMT. 20+ years, the games range from good to some of my favorites ever, gameplay that tweaks a solid monster collecting weakness hitting formula in seemingly endless permutations, Atlus' work with Megaten is the gold standard of how to manage a long running series.
Then I wonder why nobody else copies them, and remember that Persona has already outsold main SMT to date. 😂 Shine on, you crazy niche bastards. I'll always be here.

I wouldn't mind less demons. It got kind of overwhelming for me personally.
There are not that many demons, tbh Inever felt overwhelmed by the amount of demons. I do not try to get all of them tbh, only to build powerful ones. It would be interesting to have a smt not happening in tokyo, like Strange Journey. I have a lot of love for SJ because it has a unique atmosphere.
The image says I II III IV followed by Next lol it's V
Atlus was also answering some interview on Dengeki Playstation but never mentioned about SMT 25th anniversary.
Anyway I don't mean to that was implied but wanted to say it is rather possible.
The huge amount of demons in IV and IVA always felt more like a "consolation feature" than anything, they went for a lower budget project so they used as much demon art as possible, sometimes with mixed results...
Apocalypse made demons matter more with the affinity system, but there were still too many and they became disposable too quickly because of it, I liked it better in Nocturne, so having 150+ AND skill affinities would be ideal for me.
V for PS4 would be great, and it's very likely IMO (3DS is on its way out and Switch-only would be risky), but I wouldn't mind remasters of the PS2 games and/or a remake of I... One can dream.

My thoughts exactly.
That's a lot of freaking remakes.
Just give us SMTV or a SMT spinoff (not Persona) on an HD console.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
With how absurdly good SMT4A was, I can't wait to see what they have in store.
Is Square Enix making SaGa Vita exclusive a better example?;-)
