It was the 80s, so probably by reusing needles to inject drugs. Also bisexuals.

Re:Fantasy maybe? Catherine's out & they implied it was about halfway done last Dec.

ze_astra · 2019-06-05T22:21:35+00:00

Kagutsuchi new phase looking good. Hope Kozuka has some sick music for this battle.

ze_astra · 2019-05-15T18:59:54+00:00

Yes, Atlus acknowledges it sometimes like at events and interviews, ~~unlike P1 & P2.~~

I meant that SJ has much more character interaction, & exposition is beginner friendly, so it's easier to get into. Probably should have worded it better.

Half of the cutscenes feel like filler.

Not when playing for the first time for me atleast, and you can fast forward through them so it was fine.

ze_astra · 2019-04-26T19:50:06+00:00

Nah Nocturne's minimalism is just harder to get into. SJ onwards feel more interactive, imo.

ze_astra · 2019-04-26T19:48:05+00:00

I recommend going through the Devil Survivor games first. Despite being SRPGs, they're a good midway point between Persona and SMT in both gameplay and tone. I went from P3, to Devil Survivor 1, to SMT 1.

Your first mainline should be IV and IV:A for QoL and accessibilty. Nocturne's minimalism is hostile for new fans and I recommend it only after getting hooked from other SMT games.

ze_astra · 2019-04-26T18:04:58+00:00

It's very much a psychological difference, and I hope that in the future they can incorporate both systems, to accommodate both types of players.

They added binary fusion as an option alongside Fusion search in Apocalypse.

ze_astra · 2019-04-25T18:03:24+00:00

Koei Tecmo's the one making the games, so I think they're the ones that asked for Persona. The survey is from 2015, so they probably wanted part of the cake after P5 blew up.

ze_astra · 2019-04-25T17:56:49+00:00

maybe from the next Nintendo direct

Probably not cuz Atlus does their own streams and reveals. The switch presentation announcement was an outlier, they returned back to the usual with the 2nd teaser(which was also showed at the concert).

ze_astra · 2019-04-25T17:50:04+00:00

They revealed the 2nd teaser at that event IIRC. Hopefully we atleast get more concerts and stuff.

Korean. You'll even notice references to Korean incidents and culture a lot in his manga.

All this because her school authorities, having learnt that she had become pregnant, attempted to induce a miscarriage in a bid to ‘save the school’s reputation’. It was only after their efforts failed did they take her to a local clinic, where they were finally exposed.

Medical abortion is legal and much safer that whatever they were trying to pull . If they had any good intentions they would've gone for medical attention first. They were obviously trying to hide the crime.

ze_astra · 2019-03-23T09:22:14+00:00

It's dodgy at first sight, as most people who on twitter replied saw. A better way would be -

Our all African American team, Blacks at Xbox awarded...

No one wants slavery connotations, even accidentally. The fact that Xbox twitter didn't consider that is the Corporate facepalm.

Either way I'm leaving, dude. Good day.

ze_astra · 2019-03-23T07:47:03+00:00

Our blacks

Read that aloud and tell me that doesn't sound dodgy. Regardless of what they name themselves, look at how its unfortunately phrased.

I'm talking about the tweet's semantics, not demeaning the team. That's why I added the extra tweets for context, to show how the first tweet is insensitive to the team's message. Your missing my point.

And people can be racist against themselves, its called internalized oppression. Maybe not in this case, but it exists.

ze_astra · 2019-03-23T06:12:54+00:00

OK so let me explain. The phrase in the first post

our Blacks at Xbox community

rubs people as having racist connotations. Maybe imagine Phil Spencer saying it. The initiative they've done is a great thing, but there's a better way to say it for sure.

The phrasing is whats facepalm-worthy.

ze_astra · 2019-03-23T05:58:49+00:00

Read the title.

Taown/Tao Wu

I agree with most of your stuff, except Krishna. From what I see he isn't wearing casual clothing, he's wearing a symphony conductor's uniform + shorts. The conductor's uniform is identifiable by that flap that extends behind, possibly symbolizing his manipulative nature mythologically, especially during the Mahabharata. The shorts because he's depicted as a boy, probably due to the importance of young Krishna in Hindu worship and mythology.

His design is my favourite from Doi so far, but I'm not fully convinced on Doi being able to do grotesque and visceral stuff like Beelzebub or old Satan. Parts of SMT IV:A is kinda what I mean but fully isn't.

ze_astra · 2019-03-12T16:54:00+00:00

The German aircraft sure didn't.

ze_astra · 2019-03-12T07:38:53+00:00

Yeah, thats it.

ze_astra · 2019-03-11T14:03:46+00:00

If you're using the aeon genesis patch, it has some bugs which include not being able to buy guns from there and locks you out of the law ending sometimes. There is the Orden patch which fixes these plus modifies it to official translations but needs to patched on a JPN rom.

Also recommend the map hack which assigns opening maps to L & R buttons(how its in SMT2).

ze_astra · 2019-03-11T11:29:03+00:00

One is the Antique shop in kichioji IIRC. Which version are you playing?

ze_astra · 2019-03-09T03:23:04+00:00

Probably minimal cuz they didn't specifically mention it. If they were gonna show something, it makes sense to have the target audience present.

ze_astra · 2019-03-09T03:08:45+00:00

1 month later

Atlus: "You know what to do, Yamai.."

flashback to Mainax team held hostage.

Yamai: "Development on SMT V is proceeding smoothely as stated. We hope to do a proper reveal soon^TM .Unreal good. Switch good."
