So this is the original game plus a new side/epilogue campaign?

I really liked SMT5; worst thing about it was the fact that it was stuck on hardware that struggled to run it well.

Exactly like Nocturne Maniax version we got in west.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Ohh it's a PS5 release? I didn't even released that, thought it was some DLC for the Switch.

Really curious to see the difference between this and Persona.

The Persona formula needs some new twist in my opinion, it's getting tiresome.

It isn't much like Persona. They maybe share some tone/theme, and the battle system and demon fusion are broadly similar, but SMT5 is much more of an open-zone (the whole game is like 4 open world areas that aren't connected) JRPG with a lot of exploration. Way less dialog, way more go-at-your-own-pace. There are a handful of "dungeons" but the vast majority of the game takes place in these open world environments.

Two different story campaigns with different endings that you choose between at the beginning of the game. The video I posted summarizes everything different.

SEGA games is for all and this is great. And that is being great for Sega business also seeing its latest results.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Yesssss. Day 1 for steam deck.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's the 4 new female demons we'll encounter on the new routes.

Just just like in traditional SMT once you beat them, you can create them through fusion.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Oh yes!
Getting PS5 and Switch physical versions on day one!!!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Who wants to buy my vanilla Switch copy of SMT V?

/s of course

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's the new key art from the trailer.

[ChuckeRearmed]

I guess it is something like Royal for P5.

I wonder when other SMTs are coming considering the rumors about remakes (remasters) or something?

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Here's the new key art from the trailer.

Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos and Norn

 

[jimmypython]

Oh nice! Day -1 where can I preorder?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This animation is so dope!

 

[Zheph]

Oh nice! Day -1 where can I preorder?

next week it seems

 

[th4tguy]

Already played the original. This looks great but I'll pass. I only have so much time

 

[SF Kosmo]

That feels like this is aimed squarely at double-dippers. More appealing than things like Royal where the new content is mostly at the end. Tempting.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

[Danjin44]

This animation is so dope!

OOOOOH YEAH! in SMT5 some demons have unique skills which had really good animation. Nahobino himself had some epic attack animations.

 

[PanzerCute]

One of the best games I played in recent years, I cant wait to play it with a gold IQ and framerate and see all the improvements they made. The game just needed a few tweaks to make it a 10/10 imo.

 

[STARSBarry]

Remember guys Persona 3 Reload won't get an improved version with additional content... they won't do it...

Yeah I'm buying this on PlayStation 5 for that frame rate.

 

[Rambone]

Finally, can't wait to replay the game on PC. Best news all week for me, I needed this. My dog passed away and I just came home from the vet, so this news definitely is my own little ray of sunshine today.

 

[Jadsey]

Fuck yeah

 

[JordiENP]

The interaction with the demons is great on this one

 

[RNG]

Atlus finally likes money

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

A few more gifs from the SMT5 Vengeance trailer.

 

[Danjin44]

Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos and Norn

 

[Hudo]

I will continue the tradition of only having female demons in my party.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Can a mod update the thread title to make it explicit that's it's going multiplatform? This is great news. I was waiting for a steam version.

[Danjin44]

Shout out to Doi.......His demon designs has become soooo good.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Oh this is good, I've been playing smtv lately to finish it. So good

 

[sigmaZ]

The same day as Elden Ring DLC releases. FFS.

 

[Paltheos]

Finally, a version of this game with a stable framerate. I can buy it!

Remember guys Persona 3 Reload won't get an improved version with additional content... they won't do it...

Never forget Persona 4 Platinum. Expect a whole, new character who's good at everything and becomes friends with SEES (even though Persona 3 already does this anyway).

 

[stawnkald]

This is great news. I have it for Switch but the performance turned me off. Grabbing for PS5 since they won’t put it on Apple Silicon hardware.

I’m still hoping for a port of SMT IV, it’s the only modern one we can’t play on PC/Xbox/PS hardware.

 

[kunonabi]

Lol, I got smtv on switch twice and I'm going to end up never playing them now that a PS version exists.

 

[Bkdk]

YES, pc version is how SMT play so much better, mods, UI, cheat tables, let you customize your demons so much better, SMT with how the game is structured is almost meant to be played by pc if atlus done right. Moddable demons are such a huge opportunity on pc. Also someone do a full female looking demon nude mod to taunt gamebanana please! Am especially excited to see how will lame banana react if someone made alice nude mod, HA!

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I will continue the tradition of only having female demons in my party.

Post it on Youtube as a "challenge run." The algorithm loves those kind of videos.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Nice, I'll get on PC for the big screen (and possible handheld play in future) Switch struggled regardless of portable or docked so hampered the ol' enjoyment a bit before

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Lol, I got smtv on switch twice and I'm going to end up never playing them now that a PS version exists.

Don't get too excited. I'm looking at the PS5 version and it clearly is just an up port from the Switch assets. It'll still run much better, but I doubt many will be impressed with the visuals if graphics and tech are very important to the individual.

 

[nial]

Fucking finally.

 

[StereoVsn]

So will this be available as DLC for owners of the original? Or is this one of Atlus’ signature “DLC you can only get by buying the whole game over again” scams?

I mean it’s Atlus…

 

[StereoVsn]

Who wants to buy my vanilla Switch copy of SMT V?

/s of course

Yeah, they dropped to like $25 similar to other Atlus switch games that have had big print runs.

 

[meech]

I wonder if this comes to gamepass like Persona 3 Reload did.

 

[MudoSkills]

Fucking cool, Atlus coming in with the traditional re-release with new central female lead.

In for the PS4 version.

 

[Oberstein]

Wait... Switch players who have already bought the game will be able to get these new chapters/epilogues for less, I hope?

Edit: Okay, Atlus, I get it.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Oh shit, on Steam!

Why am I even bothering to buy anything outside Nintendo games on Switch from now on, even the switch exclusive deals all end up on PC, cept the Platinum games so far, god I wish Astral Chain would be on PC.

 

[RSLAEV]

Damn I'm so happy they're releasing a more fleshed out version of the game. And on Steam no less.

One more thing, physical and digital pre-orders will open next week on Feb 27.
