If only they were still as lazy as they were for the Japanese version of vanilla Nocturne and had the game run screaming for the debug mode anytime anything bad ever happened. I like to think this is the greatest consequence of Cozy leaving.

Beelzebub Beezledead, Lord of the Flies? More like Lord of the DIES...HAH.
Wow, I didn't realize it was as easy as removing the disc to get into debug mode.
More and more I'm starting to understand why vanilla Nocturne failed.

P5 needs to be so dark, that there needs to be a dark mascot character that says nothing but dark puns, and I don't mean dark in tone, I mean literally the word "dark".
Yep.

I don't know about you people, but the wait for literally ANYTHING is driving me insane.
Just show us a picture of the protagonist and his/her Persona. PLEASE.

Waiting for literally 5 years was a road to insanity. This is nothing, especially since there are a bunch of other Persona games releasing before the big one.

I'm right there with you, but everything is so real now man...
"You're Golden"... that one seems quite appropriate.
I wonder if the P5 protag will have more pogs than Yu.

Hard to imagine SMT IV outsold its LTD in a month. Although I guess it's also hard to imagine Nocturne without the Kalpas, TDE, etc. At least Atlus will be transitioning into HD development with a theoretically more successful title.

Nice! You can tell how late they ran stuff if files like this still existed even as the game finalized away from it.
It's great isn't it? Done ES yet?

Hashino mentions they went through a massive QA phase two months before the code was finalized. Sounds like a very fun crunch period.
I think Buddha has? A better question might be what MegaTen games Buddha hasn't played.

I played a little bit of it. I have not played SMT Nine!
Sounds like a gaping hole in your life that needs filling.

They talked about it on Slink FM, the NINE stands for nine factions in the game. There is the Law, Netural, Chaos factions, and then further divided into Light, Netural, and Dark factions within Law, Netural, Chaos.
It was to be a MMO for the Original Xbox, hence the nine factions. But because of the poor sales of the Xbox in Japan, they didn't even open the online component. And was pretty much a single player MMO.

it's so big it's SMT V-IX, just like TOR is KOTOR 3-8
Hey levito I'm not sure if you realized but I asked that one question under hollow guardian. What's your favorite smt game and do you like persona. They never answered the favorite smt game part lol. You guys just went off on a rant about the smt guys who hate persona haha. I didn't mean to start something like that.
Edit: oh never mind someone else asked what's your favorite 2 so it got answered eventually.

yes and it is A Bad Game.
literally the only reason they're only putting shin megami tensei games out every ten years is because no one currently working at atlus want to have to deal with it when they finally get around to the ninth installment.

the game requires that you kill yourself to get new personas - and you can only kind of guestimate what persona you'll get. if you die a lot you'll get shittier and shittier personas, which means you'll have shittier spell sets and shittier stats, which might cause you to die even more often, resulting in shittier personas, and so forth and so on. good game design guys!!!
*yes i know they are not called personas in game but it really does not matter.
there is literally a dungeon where you are forced to walk around in circles for several lunar cycles. it's not unlike IS's bomb shelter, except it takes even longer and there's basically nothing in the way of character development.
if you say "yes" to the girl in the very first cutscene of the game, you're locked out of the true ending.

the game is punishing you for your sloth. the narrative is a masterpiece because you're getting tortured just like the characters.
also the mobile sequel has Chaos-Neutral-Law set to Bad-Neutral-True endings respectively.

She asks if you want to look around see what happened (ie if you want her to join the party). You have to turn her down, run around the school and find Not!Eikichi and turn down his offer to join the party, then you can find the True Megane Heroine and accept her into the party. You can only get to the final dungeon/true ending if True Megane Heroine is your partner.

Yeah your route/ending is determined entirely by who you choose to accompany you at the start of the game.
you wouldn't know this.
you wouldn't know this.
To clarify on what Turnip is saying...
In SMT If..., on your first playthrough, you can recruit one of three party members to join you, and each has their own story route through the game. Yumi is the first character who offers to join the party, and her story route has the least amount of story. The second character who offers to join is Charlie, and the third character is Reiko. Reiko has the most story of the possible party members, and you have to have her in the party to unlock the true ending.
On a second playthrough, regardless of who you beat the game with the first time, a fourth character named Akira becomes playable. Unlike the other characters, who visit various worlds based off the seven deadly sins, his route is pretty much proto-Tartarus in design.
The route system is very similar to the original Persona, except much simpler; you only recruit one character.

Agreed! However, I feel more confident that we'll get info from Atlus soon than from Square about Final Fantasy XV. I've been burned too many times on the latter to hope for more info on it. But P5 we'll hear something more soon I bet.
I remember reading rumors on the internet about how to trigger the debug mode on the NA version...they never worked. If I remember correctly the updated version didn't even have the debug mode.
Hot damn, you spent a lot longer on that game than I did. Took me around 20 hours, I believe.

I have been using him for two whole playthrough of the gameWanted to fuse Lucifer but I don't think I'll be able max one of the slinks to get one of the Personas needed for the fusion
I got him during the first one, then during the second I bought him right away and levelled him till 99. I'm using it for the third one too!
Or to be more precise, when you say things like that!
COME PUMP WEIGHTS WITH ME BRO AS WE TOTALLY TALK ABOUT MUSCLE CARS AND FOXY LADIES! WAA-OOOHHHHHHHH!
her anatomy is off duder, check the spine line and her arms
Two things. Firstly, good sketch. Secondly, this thread was made for you. You need more friends Dantis. We're here for you.
Wrong continent.
Didn't playing a game with Kanji as a character in it teach you anything?
Something about the pic bugs me. Jintor probably has it, but like a leg in that position, dunno.
Like that little detail's going to stop us from making Dantis less macho
Well, he took time out from drawing Naoto cosplay to grace us with this diary entry:
"Waifu argument in the thread this morning, it wasn't pretty. This community is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The posts are extended gutters and the gutters are full of moe and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their lists and baiting will foam up about their waists and all the SMT and Persona fans will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."
Saving us from ourselves, one shrug at a time!
Dantis is the protagonist of SMTV confirmed? I think? Maybe he's the Chaos hero.
