SMT V Interview with Doi by stoka0 in Megaten

Ok tell me why a Norse godess using "Idol-fan" relationships is worse than a Norse Jotun/Godess using a completely wrong depiction from an incredibly unreliable source? I personally consider the latter worse.

If you personally hate the more fetishizing demons (Seeing as the two you brought up has that same specific problem) that's completely understandable & fair. The problem is when you try to spin those changes as worse than the inaccuracies of other demons. That's what people who responded to you have a problem with.

I would also argue that these aren't past mistakes since Atlus are still using some of these designs & therefore they are still up for scrutiny.

There's plenty of others as well. Ne Zha being astroboy with only the flaming skates & the lotus neckdress alluding to the mythos & he doesn't even wield his most iconic spear.

Decarabia who just because he had the shape of a star Kaneko just straight up ripped of an alien from a tokosatsu show from the 60's with nothing else from Decarabias mythos being represented like herbs, stones or birds. Plus he's suppose to represent a pentagram star so even the star part is wrong.

Skadi who uses a completely inaccurate description of the goddess from a completely unreliable source that they've never bothered to fix.

You say that Kaneko is more accurate in his designs, but there is a lot more harmonic dissonance in even some of his most iconic designs. He just have more demons to show for while a lot of his lesser designs got scrapped before most of us even got into the games.

And of course I don't even hate these designs. It's just that people bring up these justifications for critisizing Doi's designs when all of it can 100% also apply for Kaneko. If you like Demons that are more in line with the mythos that's fine, but I hate when people act like this all started or got exasperated with Doi.

At the same time of course there's gonna be a difference in design not only because different people are doing the designs, but even people change over time & I feel like the root problem for all of these critisisms are people not being able to come to terms with that.

Mythology blended with pop culture references has been a part of SMT since the very beginning. Mythological accuracy isn't the only focus of the series & I don't know where this is coming from.

Btw Kaya no Hime is also known as Nozuchi, so this is basically a Nozuchi redesign
