Why's that, I'm assuming you're really used to the P3 dubs from the games huh?
The Jap. VAs on the movies were actually really good. This is also coming from someone who would've liked the original English VAs from P3.

P4's anime is good for what it is but I don't think the story works nearly as well as it does in its original game format. The pacing feels rather rushed (specially plot relevant segments and the
ova) which in turn makes lots of scenes lack their original impact, the dungeon and boss segments (and pretty much anything that would qualify as an action sequence) were really poorly handled, the story took a hit in atmosphere and so on. It handled the slice of life and comedy moments much better than it did the main story. I commend the anime for trying to make SLs work by condensing most of them in that detective Nanako episode but it also means you don't really get to know any of those characters without playing the game. I think the anime could've used one more cour so they could pace it out better. As it stands it's a fun adaptation at times but I consider it more of a supplemental experience to the game than something that can stand out on its own.

The game doesn't really treat it like spoilers, but that can also be said about something that happens WAY later.

I would be surprised if Atlus was absent from the event, especially because they just put up a teaser website, which heavily hints towards SMTV, and the director said we would only be waiting a "little longer"
Just the timing and all makes me think at least a small teaser trailer for the next SMT game will be there, maybe TMS will get a port too, unsure about P5. I could be too optimistic altogether though.

I honestly doubt they'll be there, Atlus have never been ones to jump on new consoles. Even P5 was only announced for PS3. There could be a #FE port though.

The only Atlus thing I might expect from the event would be if they have another collaboration with Nintendo. SMT V or whatever the site is teasing would most likely be revealed as part of one of their own streams.
It's not impossible that they could have a small teaser for something then do a full reveal in their own time, as with that P5 anime teaser they had during Sony's TGS show that one year (even if that wasn't the initial debut), but I wouldn't go into the event expecting it.

Ugh, I hope that we don't get SMTV for the 3DS.

Agreed. I wish we could've had an SMT on Vita (one that's not Persona), but that ship has long since sailed. Hoping for PS4/Switch/PC.

Atlus have released games early in consoles lifespan before. Trauma Centre was within a year of the DS launching, and Devil Survivor Overclocked was in the 3DS's launch year.

Even though I still enjoyed the end result of this game, the fucking promise of this trailer still hurts man.
just finished persona 3! i really enjoyed it, even though i kinda spoiled myself on a lot of it before i played. i also ended up making
a complete joke by grinding to level 90 in monad to get messiah, but oh well, lol. i'm debating whether or not i should play the answer or watch it on youtube, since apparently it's locked to hard difficulty, and i also have a big backlog to finish. any opinions?

The Answer overall is generally kinda disliked. I usually never condone watching things over playing them, but I think it's okay to just watch The Answer instead honestly.

There's no compendium in The Answer and it's all dungeon crawling, so, uh, it's sort of anti-fun.

There isn't?!
I thought that was just a delusion made by me being bitter about P3. Goddamn, Atlus.
yeesh. well, good to know, guess i'll just watch it then.

Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
Musou

Oh, I fucking wish. :|
Okay ignoring the last sentence, slice of life Pokemon RPG.
I'd be down for that.
Feels like everything I like is getting a musou. Berserk, Fate, so why not Fire Emblem?
I'm not huge on SMT outside of Persona so I can take that or leave it, really
TurnipFritters

Musou are cheap to produce and kind of like the "generic video game thing" of this era*, which I don't mean in a bad way, but they're like 2D platformers in the SNES era - if someone one wanted to make a licensed video game on the SNES, it was almost always going to be a 2D platformer.
klabautermann

Agreed. I can't say I've ever gotten any long time enjoyment from a musou game, usually have fun for an hour and realized it's just a reskin like the others and stop. Just feel kinda cheap and phoned in and don't do anything fun or cool with the subject material. I much prefer the weird spin-offs Persona got that I never saw coming, like Fighting games and Rhythm games. While I don't think these spin-offs were the best I've ever played in either genre, it was fun to see my favorite characters and series in a completely unpredictable format for two genres I really love.

If they did do a Musou game I would hope they incorporate the Raidou 2 Magnetite system in it, because honestly that was my favorite twist on the Press Turn/Hit Enemy Weakness system to grace an Atlus game.
Hey now, it wouldn't be an Atlus x Nintendo colaboration without botching the base concept. At least the gameplay will be good.
I'm still a bit salty I guess
Hot take ahead: instead of a Musou, Atlus should take a page from Square's book and outsource Raidou 3's gameplay to Platinum while keeping creative control. They could use a new project after the Microsoft debacle.

Welp
I know right?
What good timing!
Anyway find it a bit surprising that SMTV isn't on P5's engine.

I admit the New Shin Megami Tensei Project's trailer was worrying me for a second because it was looking kinda janky, but it just being something they threw together real quick helps
Here's hoping it doesn't come back to bite them in the ass like the initial SMTxFE trailer, heh. THough at least this doesn't really promise stuff like...well, SMTxFE did.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Jap VAs for the movies. But I would also like to watch it with the P3 Dub Cast as well.
The SMT fandom can take a shot like that again ? .... plus SMT Apocalypse got enough fan service already i wouldnt be surprised would hilarious haha

A lot of those designs are a lot older than Nocturne
And a few of them have been updated, trailer used some of the Apocalypse redesigns.
I'm glad they also brought Nocturne Thor back, his other design is kinda lame. Maybe this means the game will have a bigger focus on Norse mythology. Nah, probably stretching it.
Odin's Apocalypse design is fire but I'll miss Krishna.
Also, I wonder if Hashino's new project will also use Unreal 4. I was really surprised to see they won't be reciclying P5's engine. Maybe it's only for Persona games?

Well I mean given that the game has just started development it's not like they're gonna bust out All Brand New Demons Designs.
The 3D models help breathe some life into the old demon designs, but yeah it'd be nice if they, like, sat down and created thirty or so new demons for a game and started retiring some of the older ones.
