@Ralizah I called this yesterday, I said there’d be SMT news! I’m so excited, Nocturne’s the best game under the SMT banner, including the Persona games so everybody here’s in for an absolute treat.
As weird as a crossover it is I actually thought Dante fitted into Nocturne fairly well @nessisonett aside from the slightly gaudy way it was presented on the Lucifer's Call box art
Raidou ain't bad by any means but from the looks of things the remaster'll be be based off the second and exclusive re-release japan had.
Don't actually think there's any other differences in that specific version of the game besides plonking Raidou in though.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, I agree, the Dante crossover was legitimately good. It’s interesting to put Raidou in though, we really haven’t seen much of him since the PS2 days.
@KratosMD Yeah, Atlus has historically had major issues distributing their games in countries that aren't Japan/U.S. SMT V getting a simultaneous worldwide release suggests that Nintendo is publishing, which isn't terribly surprising.
But yeah, Atlus has a massive back catalog of classic games that should be updated for modern consoles. No reason P3, the Raidou games, Digital Devil Saga, etc. shouldn't be playable on modern systems.
@nessisonett inb4 remasters of the Devil Summoner PS2 games.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy The prominence of voice acting in that trailer would seem to suggest that the game is mostly or fully voice acted, which is awesome. The game doesn't need much of an update otherwise. It's still gorgeous.
As is the Japanese special edition, by the way.
If I'm able to import that, I just might.

@Ralizah I find it strange how there are legions of ‘fans’ (people who’ve seen that Persona 5 is good on Reddit but have never played the game) who spend their life demanding a Switch port yet I’ve seen nobody demanding SMT V on PS4? Like, I get that Persona’s ‘in’ now but the last few SMT games have been some of the best JRPGs in recent history and you’d think people would be upset about Nintendo exclusivity.
SMT IV was where I started with the series. I'm not so sure if it's such a good place to start though.
Some of my initial awkwardness with the Shin Megami series was because I didn't know what to expect. Also, the early part of SMT IV is rather different to the rest of the game. Together, it made things quite jarring when the game mixed things up. I was really liking the Medieval world aspects and the more traditional dungeon crawling that the early game had. But then it all changed.
It's a game that I need to replay. I'd enjoy a second playthrough a lot more now I know what I'm dealing with.
I've never wanted such useless tat before in my life @Ralizah
An Amala drum AND a cache cube? Not to mention that steelbook looks good!
I hope you get your hands on it should it not be too outrageously expensive!
Lol if you want I'll start beating the SMT V to PS4/5 drum @nessisonett
Smt III Nocturne/Lucufer's call is very traditional in it's design @crimsontadpoles all the way through of various the various dungeons, demons to recruit and so on.
The story aspect is a bit on the lighter side for the most part with it focusing more on the characters and the atmosphere in particular is a highlight to me. There's some good design throughout.
Meguro's soundtrack is fairly varied (Though he always finds a way to get a guitar in there lol)
Quite a lot of the tracks that I particularly like are more late game/spoilery though so I won't link them

@crimsontadpoles It was my first SMT title as well. The transition from an ostensibly medieval setting to post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk Tokyo was a really cool transition, IMO, and I'm not sure if I would have gotten the full effect if I'd played earlier games and known what to expect.
Thematically and tonally, it's also meant to be a sort of 'back to basics' title, something that that that shares associations with the original game.
@nessisonett I mean, as a primarily handheld gamer, I get wanting it on Switch. I do. I'd far prefer a Switch version of P5. But, at the end of the day, no one system gets everything, and I'm loyal to software as opposed to any particular manufacturer. It's why I am, and have been, an owner of multiple consoles every generation going back as far as I can remember.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy For the first second there, I thought that second track was going to be the same as this miniboss music in SMT IV. But nope, it's completely different. The vocals caught me off guard.
They know how to make some great battle themes in this series.
@RalizahIt was a great twist, though I'm a bit divided over it all. The game was a lot more gloomy after that point, and I did miss the medieval area (it was easy enough to go back and visit Mikado, but there wasn't much reason to).
@crimsontadpolesAside from IV: Apocalypse, "gloomy" tends to be SMT's thing. Particularly Nocturne. Although all of the games have small moments of humor in them, which I always appreciate.
– Based on Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax Chronicle Edition, which features Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV from the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha series as a replacement for Dante from the Devil May Cry series, who appeared as a guest character in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax – Improved graphics and gameplay – Voiced event scenes (which can be switched on or off) – “Normal” and “Hard” difficulty settings – “Merciful” difficulty setting as free downloadable content
So, mostly what we could already deduce from the trailer.
Man 2020 is not the year to be a Switch owner. DQ11S is on other systems.
All the exclusives it had from external developers are jumping ship, what it IS getting isnt very exciting, and the first party lineup is non-existent.
Wouldnt be shocked to see Platinum wrangle Astral Chain out, and No More Heroes 3 wont be exclusive forever.
Your system can be setting the world on fire but the second a shinier box from the other bigger two brands appears, you can have 100m units and theyll just bail.

@Haruki_NLI Sony has lost a LOT of previously exclusive properties this gen, too, like Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts, and the Final Fantasy series. Third party stuff will almost never stay fully exclusive.
@Haruki_NLI Lmao, I’ve been waiting for ages holding off on Dragon Quest because I had a feeling that version would jump over. I’m so glad I did, it’s a lovely looking game and I’d rather make use of my Pro while I can.
