SMT/Persona: General Discussion (P4 Arena, P4 Golden, P5, SMT: IV, Etc.)

Mitama DLC gave me a power trip. Shiva removed it.

This game needs another difficulty

[LegalLoliLover]

Huh, I get that being chaos-aligned means that law-aligned demons, such as Anzu and Moh Shuvuu, will occasionally have dialogue saying that they do not trust you, when you try to recruit them, but then why did the chaos-aligned Obariyon have that same dialogue? What, do the chaos-aligned not trust other chaos-aligned?

[Deathhappens]

Honor among thieves is a myth

[LegalLoliLover]

Well, better explanation than that DDLC moment, given that the first demon who said that to me was Moh Shuvuu, saying that she heard "rumors about me".

[LegalLoliLover]

The Anastasia movie has Rasputin be a lich.
Dance in the Vampire Bund has Rasputin be a vampire.
SMT? Just going the Terminator route: https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Rasputin

[Mattias]

Less Terminator and more Booster Gold though.

[LegalLoliLover]

Is Booster Gold a fleshy, juicy human on the inside, though? Based on this line: "He is then defeated, revealing his inhuman anatomy and status." It appears that there was something obviously not human on the inside of Rasputin.

[Mattias]

Yeah he was a cyborg from the future, but he wasn't there on a mission or anything. He took a wrong turn down the timeline and didn't want to go back so he became a shit disturber because he had nothing better to do. Which is way more in line with Gold's "I'm in the past, so I'll become a superhero" thing. Only substitute hero for demon summoning lush.

[LegalLoliLover]

Yeah, I was going more for anatomy, rather than purpose, there. Russia's greatest love machine, indeed.

[ResidentSeagull]

As a side note, I've been getting back into SMT IV and one of my demons got the Lost status effect. Pretty neat. Didn't know they had something like that.

Ah but isn't the measure of a man not his physical makeup but his sense of purpose?

[LegalLoliLover]

So a Terminator with emotion, then?

[Mattias]

Or at least a sense of self.

[Gilgamesh]

SMT V was okay. Far from the best in the series but also far from the worst. I think they focused on the wrong things and the story kinda sucks but it was fun to play.

Soul Hackers 2 announcemeent trailer:





MIWA SHIROW IS THE CHARACTER DESIGNER LET'S GO!!!


Game looks super good. Probably should have been its own thing instead of Soul Hackers 2, since it looks so drastically different, but I am nevertheless really excited now.

- - - Updated - - -

P.S. sorry but it seems like the trailer is age restricted.

[Skull]

Wow, of all the things I wasn't expect, SH2 was certainly up there. The new artstyle is definitely going to take some getting used to but it looks cool at any rate.

Since we're back in the DS-Timeline, it would be cool to see a Kyouji Kuzunoha cameo just like in the original Soul Hackers, hell I'd even take a Persona cameo.

- - - Updated - - -

The fact that it's coming out this August, so soon after SMTV is wild though I must say.

[pinetree]

I was already expecting greatness since it's Miwa but I FUCKING LOVE THE AESTHETIC.

I need to finish SMTV... I shouldn't have started Xenoblade.

[LegalLoliLover]

Surprised that SH isn't coming to Switch (yet), given that SMTV did.

[Mattias]

So what is Soul Hackers? I see a bunch of people going crazy for it but all I know is that it's the team that made #FE, so is it classic turn based rpg?
