You should measure both endings by actual work involved since it's debatable which world will actually lead to a better outcome.

Tao's ending is an extremely tall demand. She doesn't want you to become a king like you would in the CoC endings, but more like a civil servant. You have to micromanage a world where all human wishes are granted and lead them on a better path. All those conflicting wishes means most of the time you'll be trying to keep humanity from killing itself over constant disputes. And that's not even getting to how hard it will be to manage the demon world and it's own order of gods either swearing loyalty or disobeying you and launching attacks to take the throne. You'll have Aogami, Tao, and demons loyal to you but you'll still be doing most of the work.

Yoko's ending isn't straightforward in terms of what you're actually doing to create the primordial world but if you consider Tiamat and also how the world started in Shintoism (Aogami's parallels to Izanagi), both require 2 people stirring the seas and creating life and/or land. Destroying the world and then doing that also sound like a shit ton of work but if you assume the power of the Nahobino can handle it easily it should be smooth sailing for a while. It will either be making new life and watching it grow or waiting for it to spawn on it's own. Either way, you aren't a ruler but you'll still have to guide whatever comes next. The world is going to be harsh on the new generation of humans and demons and they might resent you for it. You might be trapped in a Marduk vs Tiamat scenario again but this time you're Tiamat and your spawn want you dead. But maybe that can be avoided if you do a good job as a role model.

All things considered, Yoko's ending seems like the better deal. Maybe there is a chance you could take breaks in Tao's ending, like some kind of demon haunt equivalent but without that it's grim.

there's no way they model all 300~ demons in it or even come up with reasonable replacements for the ones who aren't in 3D and I can't imagine the additions they make outweighing the negatives

You can't use V. In CoC you can pick your ending and in CoV law is the good, non-genocide end. In V they arguably fixed law.

>>558456590
Play SMT1 PSX and use the shop glitch to buy all the best equipment. You will cruise through the game but at least you'll get to experience it with no worries. After that, try replaying it without the glitch and see how you do.
>>
>>558442767
You still get allignment points in CoC and the game tracks your character allignment even if you go against it in the ending.
>>
>>558456590
SMT1 is not hard, it's just grindy because you need to grind for money for equipment.
There's XP scaling so no worries on that point.
>>
>>558457420
But that's not the point. It tracks your progress and alignment but all that matters to is one quest and you can buy your way out of it if you choose an option against your alignment. The problem with law is picking arguably noble choices and then being sidelined with how evil law's ending inevitably is and being forced into it. You aren't forced in V. You can be noble and then go true neutral.
>>
>>558456590
SMTV was my first SMT but I've since gone back and played DDS1/2. I played a bit of Nocturne, but after the Thor fight I moved and haven't picked it up since. Figure I should probably just replay from the beginning.
I do want to get around to playing IV and Strange Journey, as well as both Raidou games. I just need to be in the right mood for SMT.

It's really not that bad.
You can completely shatter the difficulty curve of the game by going to those Tengu temples early and farming a few of the high level enemies there, each encounter will give you multiple levels + the chance of dropping some weapons that sell for dozens of thousands of cash.

The fact that demons don't gain experience also means there's no autistic minmax grind, as long as you pump the protagonist's level up your entire party gets stronger by default.

how is tatsuya's scenario writing wise? beat EP recently and saved it to do later with my high level party
>>
>>558495238
Shiori is possibly one of the worst re-release girls ever made right there with Marie in terms of being utterly irrelevant and a waste of a character.
Most of the scenario is about her, and the parts with Tatsuya also half-focus on her instead of him.
Everything that doesn't have to do with Shiori is fine. Tatsuya sounds a little too edgy sometimes.

>>558091863
Made it out of the citadel only to have to go back to the Maribel base since Bat is a petty little backstabbing bitch who can't hold his L's.
The Christmas Tree fight was an ass clencher since their unicorn wombo combo brought everyone in the party to like 5% health from full HP and Jinana hit like a truck besides.
Bat round 2 was pretty much a free lunch because I had the foresight to have Heat learn some Anti-Death preventative measures as that was the last element the game hadn't decided to throw at us yet. So of course Heat is removed from our party immediately after the fight plus I have a growing concern that he's going to pull some Bat shenanigans himself after that speech about incompetent leaders deserving to die.

V is so generous and easy with healing I kinda miss older games where you need to go to the menu and activate the skill and pick which demons that need healing. i know V can also do that but i have never used it when the game can just auto-heal everyone.

The overseas playerbase is an afterthought and it show as the english translation is slowly getting worse over time.
The powercreep is also getting out of control, which reduced the player base even further.

Yoko is Amaterasu too. She is the snake cult edgy Amaterasu. That's why she has Amatsrasu's mirror, she is Tao's reflection.

Koshimizu's sacrifice only makes sense if he's sacrificing himself to save his sister, that is entirely what his character arc is about.

I think Yoko represents multiple things:

No problem, for what it's worth I actually think it works pretty good in FF1, but it's for the best it did not become the genre standard.

I was mixed on it in FF1. I messed up early with some trial and error but was fine with it near the end. I think the GBA/PSP version is better, but the magic system in that one feels too easy by comparison.

>>558590492
Personally I like some games where you can generate it in battle as a resource where you have to take a risk to regain some. The problem with MP being limited is you have games like SMTV where MP costs are so fucking high that you have to go through multiple demons per boss. It's not very fun. I do like HP costs being a thing but it's also so hard to balance around due to healing spells/passives making them better.I've had to think about this myself a bunch recently with redesigning a battle system.

I'm in the boat that MP being a limited resource as it was in the past will be more of a thing of the past as western developers are innovating with systems to restore MP/energy during battle by default as a built in mechanic. Once you've played a game with that in mind, it becomes a little harder. Japan has been a little small with going in that direction, mainly the Magitite system in V and Octopath's boost system. Hashino talked about it more about the parry system, which is an evolution of the Mario and Luigi series, where turns are becoming more proactive in scale.
>>
Is the SMTV DLC worth it?
Figure it was time I played 5 since it has a good discount on Steam, and I was considering the version with all DLC, but all it seems to have is difficulty lowering perks and two extra demon scenarios. Wondering if the scenarios are good and the difficulty lowering is optional.

No I'm not TTW-anon, but I like to save what he comms. More megaten art the better, especially if it's for the more obscure games.

I checked their twitter but they haven't posted any new comms in a year, and I've never seen this artstyle before. Reverse image search doesn't work either. So I'm just curious.
>>
>>558602284
>>558604048
Nevermind I found the artist in my archive. It's anone-sorede. I really like their stuff even though they're a huge fujoshi. The way they draw TTW makes her look like Marcille from Dungeon Meshi lmao.

It's kind of funny how every artist can't decide how to draw Hideto and Rosanna. Rosanna gets different faces and eye colours and ranges from girlfailure to zioqueen, and nobody can draw Hideto's pompadour or his KMT2 hair right on model.

If the backrooms are canon in the MegaTen multiverse, does that make The SCP Foundation canon within MegaTen's lore by extension if you want to pull some Tommy Westphall universe type shenanigans by taking into account that some Backrooms/SCP continuities take place in the same setting as each other?

>>
>>558625005
Not really, like with a lot of internet stuff since the original is just a short thing there is no canon that ties how two different things choose to handle it, kinda like how Marble Hornets and the 8 Pages are very different implementations of the same thing that was basically just spooky images originally
So just like with mythology and urban legends how one community chooses to interpret/implement it makes it canon to that place how one piece of media decides to implement it becomes the canon independent of the canon other people have
>>
>>558625005
No, the way both universe handle supernatural stuff is too different.
An SCP fire team would get decimated by a bunch of SMT slimes for example and even SCP-682 would be considered a medium threat for the average SMT protag.
Likewise, SMT MCs would struggle with the more esoteric SCP that require you to send a bunch of D class to understand how they work. However, since they are demons users themselves, they could probably asspull a solution where the SCP could only quarantine the zone and pray for the best.

I did find a person on reddit of all places that started making a ton of fanart for the classic games. They're spanish though. They caught my eye cause they started playing MT2 and drawing it, but they've also drawn up a lot of stuff for SMT if.. and other games. Always nice to see another person make comics about something obscure you like.

I don't know if they do commissions though, they don't even have a social media page outside of their reddit profile. But it's worth archiving if you do that. Look for u/AllPraiseGyro.

SMT II is a direct sequel to SMT I and you might miss a few details if you don't know how SMT I goes. But SMT II is also a first person dungeon crawler so if you didn't like SMT I you won't like SMT II. SMT II makes it a little more fun and easier with new mechanics though.

VV isn't that long is it, it's not being bogged down by random encounters and you basically can just go from one boss to another if you dare enough to do it. any other modern SMT is considerably longer than VV.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfZGbJNn7_gaaA3pphsLWt2V6vZtyjCsB this dude mainly uses the same lineup with Sakuya being the main healer, Beelzebub being a debuffer and also resists and nulls a lot of elements and ailments, and Masakado being the main hitter since he uses almighty attack so you dont need to check weaknesses.

keep it first person dungeon crawler but get inspiration from SJ to make the dungeon layouts more interesting
I'm not opposed to the idea of a mix between first person and third person like IV but only for the over world and city areas. the focus should be on making the row system actually fun and balancing the combat, I'm p sure the EO team can help them with that. I don't want them to waste resources on making 3d models.
basically I want them to put SJ, IV and EO into a blender. also make more tracks for SMT 2's soundtrack it's too repetitive.

Nearly all of their modern titles with the exception of vanilla SWSH are prasied for their gameplay and character writing.

What builds would you recommend as all-rounder builds for Masakado, Beelzebub and Konohana Sakuya respectively? Here are my current builds for them:

Masakado:
>Recalcitrant Execution
>Freikugel
>Almighty Pleroma
>High Almighty Pleroma
>Abyssal Mask
>Murderous Glee
>Critical Zealot
>Enduring Soul

Konohana Sakuya:
>Sakuya Sakura
>Bowl of Hygieia
>Heal Pleroma
>High Heal Pleroma
>Great Mana Spring
>Enduring Soul
>Null Elec
>Abyssal Mask

Unfortunately I got rid of Beelz so I could fuse Satan in the long run. I could just resummon him from the compendium but it would be a bit expensive and he doesn't have his death flies ability because I used this build for him:
>Debilitate
>Luster Candy
>Boon Boost EX
>Boon Boost
>Enduring Soul
>Drain Dark
>Null Fire
>Drain Force

Also, the examples you gave out used Mastema, Demeter and Satan? Are they somehow better OP demon builds than Masakado, Beelzebub and Konohana Sakuya?

>Beano can also be the 2nd hitter who also provides anything else either Intercalation + Luminescent Mirage duo, evergreen dance for magatsuhi refill.
Also, can you tack-on Intercalation and Luminescent Mirage onto a build with Murakumo? How do I get Tsukuyomi's essences if I don't already have them? My current Nahobino build is this:
>Murakumo
>Almighty Pleroma
>High Almighty Pleroma
>Enduring Soul
>Murderous Glee
>Abyssal Mask
>Resist Phys
>Hellish Mask
So which skills should I replace in my current party's respective builds? I gave Beano Dagda's essence so his only real weakness is the light element.

pokemon has even smaller reason to miss. that's the main point. and none of the recent atlus releases were even bad outside of sh2.
base smt5 and raidou remaster had questionable details but they weren't bad.

and p3r removed the atmosphere, lighting, difficulty, entirely cut things that were moved from existing cutscenes into P3P social links probably because they didn't even notice while making it, took out multiple weapon types while leaving all the dialogue for it in, actively made existing scenes worse, took away an extra block of the game and retooled it into a very limited and poorly made boss rush gimmick,
the mega rayquaza stuff by itself was a much better addition than absolutely anything that was put into p3 with the remake and the hoopa rings expanded the postgame too, p3r is just easily one of the worst remakes ever made and bar none the worst gameplay of any atlus title, the only thing rivaling it being the endgame side content of SH2. ORAS took one thing out for people to get upset over and it was a postgame facility, not 70
>>
>>558912297
the battle frontier was one of the most fun parts of emerald.
p3r made stupid changes but the gameplay changes weren't bad. p3fes always had shitty combat. tactics were an interesting idea but they just make things take longer than they need to. and the game breaks its own philosophy "you can't control others" with forcing yukari and mitsuru into revealing armor against their will if the player desires it.

i will never play ORAS over emerald but i might fuck around in p3r from time to time over p3fes
>>
>>558913450
>the gameplay changes weren't bad
mementos floor warping is retarded
all changes to fusion weapons including making it a senseless grind tied to the new boss rush mechanic, completely removing weapon properties being based on the personas you used to make it, and how much worse and obviously outsourced all the unique endgame weapons compared than their ps2 counterparts was retarded
reaper not showing up until a forced tutorial in the 2nd block is retarded
gimping the fuck out of him by removing the special floor event where he just immediately shows up that you could get in the very first block even in P3P was retarded
twilight crystals were a completely pointless idea
littering every floor of the tower with breakable objects was a stupid idea
the average floor generated being much smaller than in any other version of P3 was a bad idea
getting rid of tiredness made both the dungeon crawling and the life sim parts of the game worse
reducing the randomness of items in the tower was a bad idea
the replacement for being able to send party members off on their own is pointless
the giant gold hand sequences are retarded
how easy they made it to run into gold hands in general was a bad idea
they even made fuuka's music radio worse and disc locked half of it until the season pass content was out
the great clock is so unintuitive it comes off like a fan trying to mod exp share into the game
theurgy in of itself was a bad idea and in any situation where it doesn't break the game outright it's because you have a boss with massive HP bloat that is boring as fuck to fight
all combat animations moving at the speed of an iceberg was a bad idea
This is just off the top of my head
>>
>>558902354
Definitely Baal. The best bosses are always the ones where the boss has his own party.
>>
>>558913450
most of these changes were so trivial they didn't affect my enjoyment of p3r.
and p3r fixes my biggest gripe with p3fes. tactics were dumb.
my biggest gripes with p3r were the art and story changes. p3r still plays better than p3fes. don't pretend that game didn't have damage sponge bosses. or that it wasn't exploitable to farm luck on your personas and keep knocking the bosses down to waste their turns.
>>
>>558917675
>problems with 90% of the gameplay are trivial
reeks of 0 argument, p3r is a worthless turd
>>
>>558918232
i still haven't seen you defend tactics in p3fes or the damage sponge bosses. that's 100% of p3fes' gameplay.
my point is that p3fes has bigger problems with the gameplay than p3r. p3r isn't perfect in gameplay but most the problems are small things.
and i wasn't personally bothered by most these changes. the worst gameplay issue i had was removing variety for no reason and limiting the mc to swords.
>>
>>558918527
because only someone that hasn't played the game wouldn't know that HP bloat is much worse in P3R than it is in any other version of the game, and I have
I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you saying you don't like tactics over and over again either because that also isn't an argument
All you can do is sit here and say these things don't matter because you don't want them to matter when they're all things that contribute to making it a 4/10 game that plays like absolute dogshit

>>558918808
>the biggest flaw with p3fes isn't an argument
>you can only say these things don't matter when they make it a 4/10
i can say they aren't as big of problems as the entirety of p3fes' combat.
i'm just gonna have to disagree with you on this. i know people have different preferences for what makes gameplay bad. yours is a lot of small things adding up makes something bad. my problem is having 1 big flaw.
>>
>>558914598
>it's because you have a boss with massive HP bloat that is boring as fuck to fight

p3r gives you theurgies to do anything other than piss damage to them and the gameplay devolves into waiting for the meter to fill up*
this is not a problem that any other version of p3 has, past versions of p3 are not so slow even with party control taken away from you that you will be begging for the game breaking fusion spells by the midpoint, p3r is and it's because they're stacking a horribly made burst damage mechanic on top of a .5x speed P5 copy paste job

In other news I found out through fanart one of the characters in Kaneko's new game is trans (I think). Either trans, a man's soul living in a woman's body or a man posing as a woman for some reason. Either way, it's the one in the green dress.
>>
>>558995418
I mean that's a thing in japanese folklore.
>>
>>558996007
It's more so the fact that Kankeo's characters seem to just be rehashes of his greatest hits from previous games he worked on.

That's been a SMT problem for a very long time, and SJ had the most impact for this.

SJ was probably one the last unique ideas they had desu. No more nuked post-apoc tokyo, and the Schwarzwelt expedition was a really cool idea. But in the end the alignment factions were pretty similar to what we've always got, even if it was dressed up differently.

I still keep saying that the best way to iterate on the alignment system to keep it fresh, is to redo the 9 alignment system in NINE. But this time actually make the light/neutral/dark axis unique past some different events per route. The ending is basically the same if you're light or dark-chaos iirc.

Or hell, go back to the roots of megaten with a more older fantasy approach with MT I and MT II. It doesn't even have to be a mainline game, just a AA product with modest ambitions. Big game developers are too focused on making AAA games with overinflated expectations, but that's a whole-ass different conversation.

I don't know man, I really like old megaten but what we've gotten since the 2010s (and the beginning for that matter) is just a surface level rehash of old games with minor changes. It was cool the fourth or fifth time around SMT IV, but now it's just boring. Maybe ATLUS should focus more on spin-offs with modest budgets and see what sticks. Not a redo of Soul Hackers 2 where they expected it to be another "pillar" though.

Finally limped my way out of the land of ten thousand ambushes. I had to temporarily abandon my search for a passive fire resist skill for Serph to pivot to physical mantras since Heat wasn't around. Made it all the way to flame emperor with no luck which has me concerned there's just no passives to be had, though a fire absorb skill is at least something.
Ambushes in this game are fucking brutal and have the potential to instawipe your party Wizardry style, the enemy doesn't just go first but they go first AND you have to waste your turns transforming giving them yet another round to throw shit at you.
Mick's plan was unfortunately successful, we lost the girl and worse yet the guy we had posted to guard her morphed into a white Jamaican. But at least Heat's back in the party to cover our need for unga bunga again.

SCP is an /x/ project that got stolen about creepypasta on how a semi-official organization would react to supernatural beings, often agressive but not always, without magic and only with the help of modern tech.
It doesn't matter if many SCP are "low level", the entire concept is about how normal humans with guns would deal with them and it often involve sending many people to the slaughterhouse just to get an understanding of how their power work.
If you want an analogy with manga, think about how normal people would fight against a nen user from HxH or a stand user from Jojo.

The way they should've made V was each route was a different bethel faction where you get a different beano look and the bulk of what changes is the set of bosses you fight endgame
>but look at all the sidequest dialogue they had to write for koshimizu-
The question structure shouldn't fucking exist in these games to begin with but even then that would still come out to less writing than in one third of a persona or a metaphor in totality and none of that side quest narration was fully voiced anyway
>>
>>559107131
The Nahobino concept was just your typical protag + companion combo like in most other previous games. What you're suggesting would be switching your partner to someone else for every ending. Even games that let you switch out your partner either by force (like beth) or by choice (like NINE) you only got two options because anything more than that would be ridiculous. It would have to be like If... where you pick your partner at the start of the game.

>>559126057
No one that did gameplay in caligula worked at atlus, that game just had tadashi who used to write
he was grossly outclassed in caligula anyway because the guys that came in to help with the re-release wrote much better characters than he did even though they ran out of budget to finish them. His role on caligula 2 was minimal
caligula overdose is one of those rare games where I think the story is garbage but I still like playing it for some reason, caligula 2 is a much better game overall though the art style is worse

>>559155930

randomly listing SH as an "IP" they wanted to bring back a full year before they even started teasing SH2 with the countdown was some ominous foreshadowing
and then they listed SH as a game that could be remade on that survey along with Raidou, DDS but not DebiSama 1

they just... don't want to touch the Devil Summoner name for some reason. even though a remake of it would make the most sense instead of rehashing shit we already played in english. at least that means they won't get to fuck it up with green lighting or something stupid

It's really lame how 90% of the cool demons of SMTV are only accessible at the tail end of the game, which means you only really get to use them against a few superbosses.

I thought V let you pimp your demons and make anything endgame viable? I havent played it yet though so I don't know the details though.

Oh nonononono
>>
>>559211393
For the story endgame, yes.
For superbosses on hard, still yes but you'll need to try hard and some fight may be slightly RNG dependant depending on the demons you bring.
For the lvl999 superbosses challenge? Yes but they'll need to fit in very specific strategies that usually revolve around Arahabaki and its strategize skill.
>>
>>559198179
It's effectively done if you can deal with JP negotiations. And even then, a JP gitentuber made an EN tutorial for how to do negotiation. I'm guessing sneikimmies just abandoned it cause it was effectively done but the code part got really annoying. You can tell by the amount of bugs caused by the translation.

If you can set up a PC-98 emulator and can deal with the bugs caused by the translation, you can play the whole game in EN except for a few small parts. I recommend you guys try it, Giten is peak Suzuki schizo ideas while still being megaten.

It was sudden, yes. The neocities guy saw the metaphor trailer and had a meltdown. Then not soon after said he had money problems and couldn't host the booru anymore but would just stop accepting more images. Then suddenly (again) """accidentally""" deleted the whole booru. He asked people to email him pictures from the booru they remembered being on there to try and restore it. Some people did I think but he never bothered to do anything with it and just disappeared.
>>
>>559244509
Considering nobody even attempted to make a new booru I guess nobody would have stepped up huh. It's not free to host a booru.

I remember browsing the booru before it dissappeared and it makes me wish I saved more images
>>
>>559244552
The booru shit happened before the Metaphor trailer IIRC, but that's what made him stop caring about Atlus and coming here. I don't blame him, the combo of SH2 being soulless into Metaphor being Persona Tensei was pretty devastating.
>>
>>559245693
I still think he over reacted and only did that because he didn't want to pay for the site anymore.

>>559245827
Perhaps, but he was still posting until Metaphor so that's what made him decide to give up on coming here

Nobody did since it was costing him 50-100 dollars per month when multiple people were trolling it.

I think it was revealed only 13% of the art was saved at all by anybody.

I really want more archaeology, ancient aliens, seal of solomon etc type shit. Recent SMT is really missing that Snow Crash style pop-occult history cyberpunk stuff. More horror is a must. Hopefully less dogshit character designs. Swords, guns, and armor that changes your appearance.

Modern Tokyo setting again would just be way too bland, mostly because the prevailing worldwide culture has been so stagnant for 30+ years. If it has to be Japan, maybe put it in the Showa era.

I really grew to appreciate Demeter's character after having played both SJ and VV. She's a demon/god fully capable of creating large and complex plans and knows full well when to pivot, while also having contingencies in place when her plans don't go entirely according to plan. You don't really fully appreciate this with her in SJ because you sort of just walk right into her plans without any real push back, but VV really helps make her shine with this regard. It was amazing seeing her actually have a whole plan about taking you out to help boost and support Zeus, just for her to realize you were a better bet than her own brother so went against him with you.
I understand people get PO'd about her due to this, but this type of behavior made me love her. She's super complex for it all and makes for a compelling character.

It's somewhat better since there's an actual story with some direction, Tao is more involved instead of dying and fucking off until the near end of the game.

Metaphor isn't super good and it is disappointing that it's nowhere close to how Re:Fantasy once looked but it's not terrible.

Abandoned Ship scuttled.
I was shitting myself at first since the game decided to not only take Heat away again, but also my best healer/magic user in Argilla. Thankfully the Devs clearly realized this would fuck you over hard if you didn't see it coming and made save/restore points extremely abundant. On the bright side I now have a secondary healer in Cielo.
Bat Round 3 was Beelzebub Lite, with him turning us into Bats to remove physical threats and spamming guard like a punk bitch. Interestingly I quickly realized that if even one party member is still a bat after the first round of transformation he uses an extremely limited moveset and most importantly he doesn't guard. This combined with Serph (un)luckily not shaking off Bat status for almost the entire battle allowed us to lame him out with Null Phys and chip away at him with regular attacks.
Bat finally gets fucking smoked and we make it back to our new base that's not in in the bottom of an extremely vulnerable canyon, Sera in tow. I thought we were cool with Heat but he's back to acting like a mentally unstable degenerate retard, and furthermore the majority of the Solids remnants are siding with the Brutes instead of following the law of the land. The Jack Bro solids seemed to be chill so I'm not too fired up about the others bailing.
Finally we got news that the Wolves jobbed right the fuck out to the Brutes but their leader is supposedly still alive, wishing to discuss something with us at the Vanguard's old base.

How does she talk like that...?

>>559367334
i think this would not get half the hate it gets if it wasn't for that dogshit artist choice. for some reason meguro's kickstarter military fps ALSO has ilya kushinov as the character design. i think there's something in the water at atlus that's giving them brain parasites or something, that guy should not be getting half the work he's getting.

Yeah for like 90% of the game, and you get her relatively early.
But you'll need to build your team around her, mainly have someone with Pandemonic Feast, and a way to get press turns since her skill won't be hitting weaknesses most of the time.
Having pierce will also help against things that are immune to dark, so having horus for his innate or Impaler's Animus.

maybe fan service is alright

Sounds good to me. I'm guessing super bosses is where she fucking dies, but if she does well for 90% of the game then it's not that big of a deal.

Someone posted in a previous thread a video of Masakado being bitchslaped by Tao and Yoko built as physical attackers.
You can do the same with Alice if you dont mind having non-flavourful skills on her.
>>
>>559387675
Kind of.
You still can bruteforce it with Arahabaki and Strategize since it's such a degenerate skill, but that would be a lot of work.

>>559388431
Yeah you basically strip her identity from having OP dark magic to be another big hitter where she doesnt have added affinity from it

Has Ilya ever worked on a project that was actually successful? How does this nigger keep getting randomly hired?

Then go play Pokemon or something lmao

>pokemon sells trillions by having nothing but monsters fighting
>atlus wants to reach for wider audiences
>tries to do that by shoving more and more humans down the player's throat instead of making cool monsters
The definition of insanity.
>>
>>559397208
What? Pokemon is also shoving a bunch of humans and humons down the player's throat, gamefreak hasn't made a cool monster in a good fucking while
>>
>>559397208
atlus have never managed to leverage demons into merchandising like pokemon has, which is bizarre given they're the major connective tissue between 90% of their output and a dozen or so have penetrated popular culture. dx2 has existed for 8~ years on demons alone, so sega seem to understand this better than atlus at least.

They made some very shy attempts before but nothing noteworthy.
Which is a shame because I would buy merch of my demonfu.

>>559400334
I think even if you look at these threads people act surprised when you say that the demons are the stars of SMT not the shallow human characters. I guess it's all a holdover from the series being inspired by a novel.

>>559397331
The newest pokemon game has you play as a pokemon trying to rebuild society from the ashes of an apocalyptic event, and don't even get me started on the mystery dungeon spinoffs, look the point is pokemon has a health balance, something SMT needs to trying and do, the last time we SMT fans had the chance to play as a demon was jack bros. On the vurtual boy.

It's time for the Alice spinoff.
