How did they fuck this up? Shoulda been pretty simple...

>tfw waifus stole lawfag's first post, invalidating it and setting waifuism as the correct path

>Waifuism
>Lawfag
Not mutually exclusive though.

i suppose. women are inherently more law and order oriented after all, if their actions like constant nagging about dirty living space and desire for bigger governments and more laws that take care of them is to be believed.

P-cucks out

an interview with 4 people from the ATLUS Sound Team regarding the 25th anniversary of the franchise

4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20171012135/

they were sperging about the bootleg anime of P5

Is Persona 1/2 first-person?

Wait, can you not get Desperate Hit on Nanashi in Apocalypse?

Persona 1 is first-person in dungeons.

Started playing Soul Hackers on 3ds.
Gameplay is absolute ass. I laughed at battle "animations" and music.

>I laughed at battle "animations" and music.
Animations are because it's a rereleased Sega Saturn game, but if you don't like the music you're a pleb

How the fuck can you think the gameplay is ass? Do you not like anything pre-Nocturne?

I mean battle music only.

Looks like I don't like anything pre-SMTIV. At least this game doesn't make you feel like you're playing some archaic shit.

>battle music
NIGGA WHAT?! but it's cyberfunky

...

What makes you think it's archaic?

>Not appreciating archaic MegaTen

Battle interface.
Animations.
Save system.
Sound effects.
First-person four-directional movement.

No, you're just fixing shitty game design.

You'll get the ability to save anywhere at some point early in the game, but I can't say anything to convince you otherwise on your other complaints.

these games are pretty much praised universally within the groups that discuss them but has there ever been a moment for you where you wanted to just stop playing? is there a title you actually hate?

SMT II's Neutral path was probably the lowest I ever felt towards a game in this series. It's just so mind-meltingly bland and uninteresting which is sad because usually the strongest point brought up about II is its story. When people think of II they think of Law for a reason.

How do I rack up coins at the casino in Revelations Persona? I am trying out different slot machines in Black Market but the odds tend to range from bad to horrible.

Most unique spells can't be passed on through fusion or whisper

okay /smtg/
is it okay to you guys if Sol Niger became a fire spell instead of Almighty in the future?

Not hate but I didn't enjoy DeSu's gameplay enough to finish it. I got stuck at day 6 and dropped it. The story was just getting good too

What do you mean by that?

How pants-on-head retarded would it be for Law and Chaos to team up against the hero on the Neutral route to stop him from fucking up all the things?

Not the same guy but isn't it a really strong attack? I guess changing it to a common element would give more opportunities to play around it.

what's your consensus on P5's version of Deadly Fury?

It's funny that I consider SH one of the weakest megaten games I've played but I consider these the good parts of the game.

I prefer Nocturne's version of it. Better for sweeping enemies.

I tried to play both Last Bible and Last Bible 2. They were just so goddamn mind-numbingly boring that I just eventually dropped both. I never made the conscious choice to stop playing them I just eventually realized it had been six months since the last time I played, and I just sort of shrugged.

>not liking smt x dragon quest

I can deal with a bland story if there's good gameplay. I can deal with bad gameplay if there's a good story. Hell, I can even deal with a bland story and bad gameplay if the game doesn't require me to keep track of the worst negotiation and fusion mechanics in the entire series. Unfortunately, Last Bible has all three of those going for it.

I thought all those three were pretty good. You are just spoiled by the newer games.

is it normal for your alignment to shift so much? i was suddenly law after killing gotou but went back to neutral after saying no to thor asking me if i wanted to fight in g*d's name. i stuck with neutral for a little while but then jumped to chaos after being given the option to help the demons since i felt bad.

Okay, the gameplay I can understand, plenty of people still enjoy the old, grind-heavy Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest style.
The fusion and negotiation, I can follow, it's really not that much different from Megami Tensei 1, you just have to do it more frequently because of how compressed the game is.
The story though? I don't understand how anyone could enjoy that. It's not even bad, there's just nothing there. In both cases, it's essentially just "an ancient evil has awoken, kill everything in front of you until you can beat it."

I'm a person pretending to work for Atlus USA's localization branch. Ask me anything.

And no, Kool-Aid Man and Chex Quest are not in SMTV.

SMT x Bible Black

Describe it extreme detail the entire story, start to finish, of SMTV.

I like chex quest. I like RPG

So, who is the son of man who will act as our messiah and color this Nemmisa porn picture?

vidyart.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=346869

Yeah, some games are like that. SJ can have you shift sides pretty easily as well.

...

>tfw 10 lvls under in the first zelenin fight on the neutral route
fuck sj leveling system, it's a great game but fuck is it needlessly hard in some parts

Is this the most insultingly easy final boss in any SMT game?

I really hate this blinking eyes shit they've been doing in all the 3DS games.
It looks so fucking stupid

it's been around for a while

You mean the blinking eyes thing that was in fucking SMT 1/2? The blinking eyes thing that was in IV as well, due to IV pretty much being SMT 1 worship?
Fuck off.

Judge Zelenin really fucked my shit up too on my first playthrough. All I can really suggest is equip the frost cannon and do the trick to abuse enemy AI.

The game is still under development, so the plot elements are up in the air. However, the assets we have received include the basics of the game and plot outline. As typical to the series, you start out in a Tokyo, just before an influx of demons. The PC is listed as coming from Shinjuku. I'd assume because of railroads. Not sure if that means the character himself is from there or simply that is where the game starts. In any case, the structure seems to be fairly non-linear so far. Key elements described are trying to explore different aspects to alignments. In this case, there seem to be 9(?) guys described in the treatment as alignment reps. Also 3 of them have "Ma" somewhere in their name, so I think this might be a reference to Strange Journey somehow. Each one of them is described in terms of a representative demon and element. For example, Mamoru is listed with Light-Chaos, Susano-o, and Force. Not sure if that means they use those, they turn into that demon, are reincarnations of those demons, or what. Anyway, it seems like the structures all lead to the same kind of ending situation of fighting against many different kinds of demons at once. Seems kind of lame to have the endings converge.

Nah, shit like the SMTI bosses are easier but you haven't properly played SJ until you have experienced the Mem Aleph battle.

>you haven't properly played SJ until you have experienced the Mem Aleph battle
chaosfags btfo eternally

Is the stuff coming out of those dead demons supposed to be Magatsuhi or something similar?

LB1's story is bare-bones, but it's really not much better or worse than that of NES games like FF 1-3 or even Megami Tensei 1, and I was satisfied with the story for those games too. I guess that when I play games developed for old systems, my brain automatically lowers the bar for what I expect out of the game's story and becomes more impressed when I discover good writing. In other words, it's good for your brain...whatever that means.

I haven't started playing LB2 yet so I can't comment on that one.

>it's good for your brain
just like satan titties

Yes. Seems to be representative of will to exist

Cool. Cant read moonrune through

>first moments of the interview and he already is being autistic with the fusion system
I guess this will be interesting.

I don't remember any SMT game having a actually hard final boss.

...

SMT2's YHVH was a nightmare for me when I was a teenager

Is it just me, or is the art for Dahn a bit wonky?

In DDS1, you can overlevel to an absurd degree before beating the final boss without using the intended strategy becomes a realistic possibility. Though I guess if you mean SMT in terms of mainline exclusively, I would argue YHVH from IVA, just because he's clearly balanced for a high-90s party and has infinite power and unending curse.

As someone who used to draw fusion trees on paper when playing DeSu to help me plan for fusing a near-invincible Metatron, those first minutes were frustrating to listen to. The actual problem is that the megaten fusion mechanics are too deep for him.

The if final bosses are hard as shit, I don't think they're possible without grinding. That goes for the final dungeon too.

He admits that. His planning style is point-build style instead of fusion style.

Only Persona 1 and KMT 1 have me slightly bored, i will finish them eventually. Its probably just Megaten burn out since i marathoned SMT 1&2 before playing those. KMT 2 is fun though.

I like all the games

I am so mad at how shit IV's map is. Fatlus really is lucky the OST is godlike.

>the VA already knew about the user asking questions to the interview in here

What's your favourite persona game?

Innocent Sin. Obviously the duology as a whole but if it's just one entry it has to be that.
