>>334322187
what the fuck is this obsession with giving us different game titles
fucks sake
just call it Final euhghhg
>all these games coming out in summer
It's gonna be a busy one.
Apocalypse sounds cooler desu

Basically, with FINAL people will think it's just an expansion/rerelease of SMT4 (which still happens on /v/ even with the new subtitle)
>>334322660
They changed it because they assumed people would be too stupid to realize out that it's a sequel and not just a remaster or re-release.And they were right.They were even considering cutting IV out of the title for that same reason.
>>334322187
Is this supposed to be some 4.5 version? Haven't been following 3DS news lately
>>334323179
>>334323112
But it is a direct sequel to SMT IV
why would you play Final without playing the first one? Aren't they kind of a pair?
>>334323312
see >>334323296
This is the people that caused the name change.
>>334322660
I dunno, I'm okay with the name change.
Though they could have gone with Finale. Makes it sound like an ending rather than just the definitive version, which it isn't.
>>334322187
Well, at least is better than Lucifer's Call.
>>334322187
it's a fantastic game. I imported and clocked 78 hours in it. should be the best JPRG this year.
>>334322187
What about that dlc with all the SMT main characters?
>>334323825
What about it?
>>334323982
We get it, right?
IKUYO!
Are you edgy enough to kill this cutie?
People weren't expecting this to be released in the west? I thought it was inevitable.
God I hope Europe doesn't get fucked over this time.
Please, Atlus.
>>334324339
Why is that dog in a swimsuit?
>>334324458
I want tokillToki!
>>334324235
Almost certainly yes
Choose your Megami
>>334324459
But muh YHVH and Krishna
>English text and voices only
Guess I'll play this one with voices off as well.
>dragon quest 7
>rhythm heaven megamix
>SMT4 final
Good summer for baka gaijins
>>334324459
I feel like most people knew it was going to be released but it was more of when. People were just spoiled because SMT4 came over so quickly.
>>334324726
Toki, no question
>MFW some people will choose the monkey
If you want to cuck Flynn, he is a mindless zombie warrior by that point, he feels nothing so you can't cuck him.
>>334324775
>not having cfw and getting the undub
>>334324775
>Not just buying the game and then pirating the undub
Shaking my head to be honest Devil buster
>>334324458
Who wouldn't kill Toki?
>>334324932
I want to kill her hymen.
>>334324885
>MFW i just unlocked the fag on your pic in Hyrule Warriors Legends
Dammit, his playstyle makes me sick...but i want to get the 100%, which means i have to use him, fuck.
>>334324726
Middle > Right > Left
Who the fuck swims with a face full of mascara?
>>334324885
probably gonna use the same video codec as SMT4 which means nip cutscenes with nip subs or burger cutscenes with burger subs
>>334325073
Don't bully the Toki.
>MFW english Toki will have a 40 years old voice
It will be like that other game with the guy and the witches...
Why exactly were we insisting the game wasn't going to be localized?
>>334322187
DOUBTERS
BLOWN
THE
FUCK
OUUUUUUUUUUUUT
HYPEHYPEHYPEalso I'm really glad I avoided spoilers, leaving the thread after this
>>334324726
hallelujah
>>334325264
>Toki is 14
>Sounds 4 in Japanese
>Sounds 40 in English
You can't win.
>>334325284
Panic caused for the recent insane censorship going on, plus the fact you fight the fucking god of the biggest religion in the world, something not game had dare to make (except SMT II and it was never localized).
>>334325284
for shitposting, what else?
>>334325406
Fuck you, her japanese voice is perfect.
>>334325284
Shitposting

It's good, but it sounds like it's for a young child.
>>334325547
>ara ara
>on a tiny loli
no anon, that's not how this works
box for yurop this time pls
>>334325631
But that is the point! is perfect!
>>334325685
i'm sorry anon I have a problem. her makeup makes her look older.
>>334325965
MC: meh, Dadga revive her.
Dadga: i can't, snake also ate her soul
MC: *goes edgy*
>>334326021
I love smug Flynn
>>334326021
You will never be smug with your bros...or have bros in anycase
>>334326081
And then she's either revived as part of the plot no the Peace route, or you have the option of reviving her as your goddess/dead buddy/cumrag at the end of Anarchy
>>334326241
>demifiend without the kaneko lips
I don't like it.
I just realized I never finished 4 yet.
Shit.

>I'veBeenWaitingForThis.jpg
>>334326241
>Hero, Aleph, Demifiend, and Flynn all together
Would any other JRPG party even stand a chance?
>>334326619
are you surprised? One is done, one we haven't heard legitimate news on in years rather than the yearly "This year we swear" meme
>>334326332
But you never get to kill her yourself! how you can prove you are the edge if you can kill your childhood friend with your own hands?
My body wasn't prepared for this
Guess it's time to pop IV back in
>>334323179
Why not call it SMT 5 if that were the case? It wouldn't be the first time localized sequels were numbered differently.
>>334327460
Because it's still based off of SMT4
>>334327460
Because Megaten titles aren't directly related to each other outside of their own series of subtitled games. It would break Megaten law.
>Decide to go Fiend hunting when Final was first announced.
>15 hours of fucking nothing.
I hope whoever thought that bringing back SMT1 encounter rates was a good idea got a swift kick in the dick.
>>334327906
literal hell anon. I got three and I'm never going back to finish it.
>>334327906
Yeah I spend three hours on Red Rider and lost all will to continue Fiend hunting after beating him.
>>334327559
Isn't that how sequels work? My first assumption about a numbered title is that it is somehow based off the previous one.
Stacking meaningless terms at the end of the title will only confuse the "buys games off the shelf" audience. The only reason the Japanese game industry is lagging behind is because they keep fucking up the most basic shit.
>>334326653
If he sacrifices himself.
>>334328158
no it should be smtiv-2
>>334328158
Sequels of SMT dont work that way
>>334323179
Can you blame them? If you go off the title alone it sounds exactly like an expansion or release. No big deal it's easily corrected
>>334328087
>TFW you actually punch god in the face
Best new demon.
>>334322187
>>334328087
>>334328520
>>334328710
Who is this semen demon?
>>334328327
Well why the fuck not? New players aren't going to lose their shit if it includes characters from the previous game. They're going to take time reintroducing them anyhow assuming that at least some of the people buying it are new players.
I understand that the plot to SMT is fragmented but there's no reason they couldn't just call it SMT 5 and avoid the confusion.
>>334328909
nigga you gay
>>334328271
EPP extra scenario states that P1/2 cast are stronger than him so nope
>>334329015
>gay for liking a cute girl
>>334328909
His name is not important.
>>334328909
Some DUDE that actually punch god.
>>334329076
>>334326508
And they are mostly right.
>>334328909
Those are my selfies, dude.
Have more respect.
>>334329015
>>334329116
>>334329138
>>334329294
>draw a girl
>call it a guy
Two nukes just wasn't enough.
hahaha! SMTIV:Apocalypse will be released before Persona 5. Best day ever.
>>334329502
>Not being the little girl
>>334328946
That won't work out. They'd be screwing with the fans expecting an smt in a new setting. It'd be like gamefreak calling pokemon black/white 2, pokemon brown/tan. Both are sequels but both take place in the same settings and the plot comes from the previous title.
>yfw yuropoors are gonna get it digital only and months later
>>334327835
That's not true. SMT II is a sequel to SMT I's neutral route.
>>334329706
Day one buy. Can I do the same in IV?
>>334326241
>STEVEN fight
yo
>>334322870
What other games coming out?
Loved the soundtrack, characters, atmosphere and even the plot of SMT IV. Gameplay kept me hooked for 120+ hours. So relieved and glad this is coming out to NA, day one buy.
>>334323312
>But it is a direct sequel to SMT IV
It's not.
>>334330595
No because Flynn is a manmuffin with weird bird eyes, not a sausage smoking cakeboy.
>>334323179
It recycles a fuckload of shit from IV though. Not even in the sequel sort of way just that lazy "re-release with 2 new areas" way Japanese seem to be obsessed with lately.
>>334331287
Atlus are the kings of asset recycling.
>>334331180
Bummer. Still gonna get both of them. Just another question,is that outfit the only one available?
>>334331674
If you mean it as "the only one" then yes. But you can keep the wig and dress him up with different outfits.
>>334331839
I mean, are there different dresses?
We fucking made it bros
What a feeling
>>334324458
>>334324726
>>334324932
>>334328710
Tell me about the Toki, why does she wear the make up
>>334329671
but the japanese version was also released before persona 5. why have you waited until now to shitpost about it?
>>334331972
Cause she's a shit character. No Bane jokes for you.
>>334327906
Just beat matador 2 nights ago, I still have 5 more to go
Hold me bros
>>334331972
To try and sneak into Mikado and pass as an adult.
>>334331883
No, that's the only one where he dresses as a trap.
But as I said, there are other outfits both silly and cool: like a Ghost Navarre cosplay, the Samurai uniform, and moreâ„¢.
>>334332180
Thanks anon.
>>334331972
I liked her a lot better with the mask.
I thought her face was gonna be a big reveal, but nope.
So is strength still going to be as useless as it was in IV?
>Getting Neutral in IV
Did it eventually but fuck me it was annoying. Just passed the alignment lock and about 55 hours in is that normal?
Also going full mage makes the game EZ mode.
>>334331898
>Demifiend literally manhandling his bitches
>>334332180
"Dude, we gonna totally kick god's ass!"
>>334331898
>First game finally gets localised
>lol iPhone only because it's been too long
>2 gets released for Android as well
>Haha nope no English release
This is not ok
>still no Persona 5 news
JUST
>>334332372
Doing Neutral as my third route and Im over200hours in
You're going at a decent rate
>>334332369
Supposedly there are skills that actually scale better from strength. Thank god, I want to know who thought str having shit scaling and inferior damage was a good idea.
>>334331898
>putting two SMT I covers while ignoring SMT II
Anon, you only had ONE fucking job.
>>334333287
>SJ will never ever be mainline
>>334333287
But he's in.
>>334333449
I wish I had a Demonica vending machine partner.
>>334333287
Translation?
Is Flynn still unvoiced in Final?
>>334333693
>telling anyone to stop smiling while wearing that smug ass demonica
Demonica helmet should give you permanent Smirk
>>334335202
No.
>>334335202
Flynn had a voice in IV
>>334333449
Hyped for this.
>>334334486
I know... I know too!
I am a gaiden protagonist...
A soldier...
An adult...
asoko ni warikomu koto ga dekinai toiunowa yoku shitteruyoI don't know what that bit means, my grammar sucks
>>334336034
He had no lines
>>334329938
Hit the nail on the head.
>>334336913
>Burroughs
That's a line, I think.
>>334337843
He speaks during battle sometimes.
>>334333449
What the fuck is this.
>>334338259
Meme magic in display.
>>334336415
Something along the lines of
"I can't butt in over there" I say/ know well
Nihongo grammar is annoying enough when its proper; translating fan shit like this can be the worst.
