Megaten is an easy answer to the "Is video game music real music" debate imo. It's like they have masters of melody working on the game OSTs. That's one aspect of the series that's never lacking tbh. I have no doubt that SMTV will deliver in that regard.

Yeah me too, both smt and persona have had consistently top tier soundtracks, expect nothing but greatness from smt V

September 25th. 50 minutes. 8 PM JST/6 AM EST

Dante? I really didn't expect this inclusion. Especially because this is a turn based rpg

Dante was always in the North American/European version of Nocturne (aka Nocturne Maniax in Japan)

It's why this image is such a notorious meme

I'm playing IV right now is it a good idea to fuse a healer/buffer or will I run out of MP in boss fights ?

Against bosses you should first and foremost fuse demons with moves that can exploit the boss weakness so you have extra moves, try to have no demons with weaknesses to boss attacks and lastly if you can put one demon that can buff you. Healing tbh is optional, as you can get up to 8 moves per turn and you could at worst use items

What are y'all expecting smt V gameplay to be like? Something like IV A or more something like an evolution of nocturne?

50 mins???

strikers release date
p3/p4 ports
smtv release date

NEED SMT V GAMEPLAY

Its japan i doubt theyre announcing western release for strikers

They f***ing better

Im sure they will, atlus has yet to disappoint us this year

still a lot to look forward to

i know sega will probably take up most of it but im looking forward to smt v and re project fantasy hopefully

Lit bro thank you I just left the counter demon base

You got a long way to go then, enjoy
If you end up liking it try smt iv Apocalypse which is a continuation of smt iv

Ye I have it along with soul hackers and strange journey

Evolution of nocturne, everything fully 3D

I want the open world elements with sidequests like the IV duology and the battles of Nocturne but on a whole other level

Damn nocturne gameplay must be lit if yall picking that, i personally LOVE apocalypse gameplay with a better and more balanced smirking mechanic, affinities so even if they went with apocalypse gameplay id be happy

Also, if the overworld is fully explorable in 3d that would be f***ing amazing

Actually yea id definitely want something like the smirk mechanic

Yeah smirking was awesome, especially in apocalypse, also affinities were a smart addition that brings even more strategy imo, maybe they'll even add something more. But even if they didn't add anything i would be happy, smt has almost perfect gameplay, i find it hard to find ways to improve it even more

The craziest thing is knowing this is coming next year and getting the trailer we got, I was so starved that anything going forward is a bonus for me lol. Hype for TGS. Really excited to see more SMT
