[@datboi81]

One thing I love about these trailers is that they use the Switch graphics in the Switch advertisements. No false advertising like MK and other games. Good on Atlus and Nintendo.

[@NoLongerManic]

it seems atlus can never not slap with the music

[@kah0922]

Ryota Kozuka and Toshiki Konishi really outdid themselves.

[@Slappaccino]

True. Especially DDS' soundtracks.

[@sneakygurl]

Cutting Nahobinos long hair was atlus' solution to get the game to lock to 30fps

It'd be an ideal world if atlus games were actually worth buying on release instead of waiting for the inevitable expansion that still costs full price two years down the line.

Still mad we aren't getting this as a dlc expansion to our copies of the first release and have to pay another $60+ dlc again.

[@brucksz]

if we can at least transfer the save file .. that would be better.. still painful though

[@CrashBandicam]

⁠@Infernal_CrusaderYou’re right in the sense that the new additions are sprinkled throughout the game as a whole, and it’s not just a single new part that’s been added. But to say that you should pay for all the content again that you’ve already paid for once is just absurd. I think a lot of people are getting tired of this business practice that Atlus are going with. It would be better for all of us as consumers to just pay for what is new, and then allow us to start a new playthrough via the same copy that we already own. This trend of releasing games again, has begun to make people just want to wait a couple years for the rerelease instead of having to purchase the game twice

[@TheDittoChannel]

This game has an entirely different campaign with 80 hours of new content, reworks to the old campaign, and enough new features to make the original game look like a version alpha. Calling it a DLC is disingenuous when it offers more from the base game than most sequels

[@gottesurteil3201]

Whatever just give them your money cash monkey.

[@vivid8979]

Thanks for beta-testing the game tho.. I appreciate it.

[@siendigaming5469]

For the players who buy the first release is feel like playing the demo for full frice and now this come out with all new content and to me its more like sequel rather than dlc or expansion

[@NeptuniaAzure72]

[@iwannaplayssbb6665]

I'm dying to play this!, loved the original

[@Hakai_ryu]

So is everything in this trailer part of the new story mode? I don't want to have to replay the whole regular story for the new stuff.

[@Blue-fg8vt]

New story mode.

[@SaikoZam]

I guess I'm a glass half full kind of guy, but this is a new 80 hr campaign with the original campaign packed in. Did all these people up in arms over re-releases throw a fit over SMT4A? Even if this was another re-release, SMTV went through a troubled dev cycle and was further compromised by covid. It's one of the games that could justifiably use a second chance.

[@joshthehuman9449]

Classic Atlus: Oh you've bought our game full price and purchase all the DLCs? Thank you! Here's a full price enhanced version of the game with all the DLCs you've bought and more content you have to buy separately!

[@nindieboy4194]

I mean....they somehow do it better than square enix which probably will end up being sold completely.

[@Zerorenren4761]

​@@nindieboy4194Square Enix would release two story DLCs that would improve a little the story and then release a novel with everything from the story that was left off.

[@randomgamer9782]

So I have to play the previous one and this one after or this is like the complete version with everything in it?

[@deykuzor]

Complete version. Basically the main route stays the same with new demons and skills/qual of life features, and the old dlc. New route has a whole new campaign which apparently is extensive. I kinda hope they'll expand on some of the other routes in base though. LAW is well fleshed out, but NEUTRAL felt sorta abrupt and CHAOS is kinda dropped with a cool idea but without any real lead in. Regardless, SMT games rarely require you to play the previous game. SMT 1 and 2 are separated by hundreds of years. SMT 3 is in its own timeline. SMT 4 and 4 Apocalypse are also in their own timelines but 4A doesn't require you to have played 4 to understand it, it just has a lot of crossover and a retcon. SMT Strange Journey also is its own timeline and self contained.

[@randomgamer9782]

[@one_dhi3353]

should i play shin megami tensei 5 before vengeance?

[@_hyva_]

Atlus thought the changes to the gameplay and story in Vengeance were so massive that they needed to include the original untouched version in the new one. When you start up a save, you’ll be asked to play the Canon of Creation, which is the original story, or the Canon of Vengeance, which is the new one.

@@AnimeXFever54 No rerelease means that every other console would get the same SMTV but now they have to purchase the DLC along with it or buy the version that comes preinstalled with the DLC for $70 and on top of that all of the other DLC is still separate content from the game so who knows if they would feel pressed to make those free in order to equalize it with the Switch version.

They're describing it as an alternate scenario that is similar to base v in the beginning but completely diverges by the half way point of the game. There will be a ton of new sidequests to flesh out the world and about 80% of the ost is redone. Basically it's a new version of SMT V with more content and an "expanded" story with more emphasis on human characters.

[@bartowo]

i believe the entire smt franchise & persona franchise share monsters. my friend said that it makes sense lore wise

[@bradleydrake6941]

It's because persona is a spin-off of SMT which is why the enemies are the same. So the monsters in persona originated from this franchise (but more accurate to say mythology)

[@_hyva_]

Glad you asked. Persona is a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei Series, though it got so popular that more people know about Persona than the original. In SMT, the Shadows and Personas are called Demons, so people with more experience in the series tend to call them Demons. In 1994, Atlus released a game called Shin Megami Tensei If, which is a “what if” scenario for the first SMT game asking what would happen if a high school was taken into the demon world instead of demons breaking out into the human world, which is what happens in SMT1. In the canon ending, the protagonist and their chosen partner character seal the door to the demon world with the partner and her brother still in the demon world, preventing demons from ever going to the human world again. Demons do manage to get through, but they cannot maintain a physical form most of the time and often need a human to summon them as a part of themselves in order to manifest, creating Shadows and Personas.

if you want you know how SMT and Persona are connected, Persona is a part of an alternate timeline where the nuclear apocalypse of the first SMT game didn't happen
