Did my best to try and get the number off:

One of my favorites.

Ok, I must sleep! Hope you all enjoy your avatars, and more importantly some lovely SMT deliciousness tomorrow!

Thanks! You two are on my awesome list.

 

[FaceDa]

You have to die twice to be able to get the option IIRC.

Spoiler: You will probably die twice

 

[Esura]

I can't get Chibi Pixie to fit as an avatar without making it too small...

 

[Young Magus]

Go forth!

YAY!!!!

 

[Tyrant Rave]

If someone could provide me a Pyro Jack with a transparent background, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

[Lucent]

Thanks! You two are on my awesome list.

Transparent =P

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Transparent =P

Haha, if it was blue tinted, it would be like Persona. =P

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Thank you kind sir.

 

[Zerokku]

Because I fail at any sort of image editing software, could someone avatarize/transparent-ize the White Rider for me? Thank you so much to whoever can.

 

[JJD]

Damn the game still isn't available on the eShop...

I'm already using that one. lol.

I can do another one for you though.

 

[isual]

Although I really like jack frost, can someone do a transparent for the black frost .

thanks

 

[Aeana]

I thought that only first-party releases came out at midnight, and others came at the normal update time (I think 11 AM central time?).

 

[Skelter]

I'll be your best friend if I could get Jack Ripper with a transparent background!

 

[charlequin]

Oh man, I desperately need a chibi demon avatar, but who to pick from that image? I'm leaning towards Thor, but I invite suggestions from the peanut gallery.

Also: since I managed to not follow this closely enough to tell: is the US bonus CD the same stuff as the Japanese pre-release disc?

Shin Megami Tensei IV |OT| The Dark Souls of Persona

 

[Tirod]

Yup. Save your sanity and go to bed, or whatever else you may feel like.

Try again at 9 AM Pacific if you absolutely need to have it right away. I remember Etrian Odyssey IV being available for download beginning at that time.

 

[Mupod]

Oh christ I just saw the new title

Really???

Wow...I thought it would be released at midnight...

Man...I stayed awake for nothing... =(

[Esura]

Ok, I think I did this avatar right. Or I hope.

EDIT: Yeah this Pixie is adorable.

 

[isual]

thanks. hhnnnngh. to change from kirby to black frost. hnnnnghhh

 

[Eusis]

Looking into the equivalent for magic wand for GIMP, and I do have worries that it won't be accurate enough on the demi-fiend, nevermind whatever I'd need to do to deal with the numbers.

I'll help you out in a minute!

Edit: Here you go!

Here is a transparent version if you want.

Edit: Nvm, you did it already!

THOR

 

[Kincaido]

Someone should take Loki.

Not me though, since I just changed my avatar earlier.

 

[Kyon]

Just saw the new title. It's good to know the title reflects the reason this game is getting so much attention and why a lot of people are buying their first SMT. Persona it's power and impact

 

[Chance Hale]

Ugh, why did this have to come out during the steam sale. I'm so poor ;-;

Hopefully copies are still readily available in a few days in unbutchered editions.

 

[Mupod]

tempted to grab Pisaca

but i mean

no hurry

nobody likes Pisaca except me

More like, Dark Souls it's power and impact.

Everybody likes pisaca once they get the rigged one from the Amala Labyrinth.

 

[TurnipFritters]

I feel so kawaii now.

More like, it's a joke making fun of dumb people.

 

[IrishNinja]

but I have so much animal crossing left

oh man, this
newegg says i have a few more days at least...barely touched soul hackers yet too

 

[Thoraxes]

THOR

Yes?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Hmmm interesting, so why is this game the Dark Souls of Persona? I'm guessing Dark souls refers to the dark dungeon crawling but Persona has that too.......I'm confused.

 

[Aeana]

I guess we need to post this again.

Oh lol, so the joke is people were calling this game the Dark souls of Persona?

 

[influentzar]

I must've missed this, time to re-read the thread

 

[Kyon]

Is that what the reviews say?

 

[TurnipFritters]

I guess we need to post this again.

Some of those quotes are out of context. The "poor paper cut-outs" was something Jeremy Parish said in his review, but it was a reference to JRPGs in general transitioning to portable platforms in general. And then there's this one:

"And yet, SMT IV lacks many of the elements that made Persona 3 so engrossing; it offers no social links with which to build relationships, no real-time calendar to propel the plot beyond your demon-capturing exploits underground. SMT IV looks great in action, and it grows more and more satisfying to play as you unlock additional features for your Gauntlet (the device that enables you to team up with the demons you encounter), but the minimal presentation and style still leave you with the impression that the series has at last fallen foul of the attrition that's sapped away the vibrance of so many other Japanese RPGs.

And then you get to Tokyo, and everything changes. "

The thread title is messing people up lol

They're almost all out of context.

S...so you're trolling us? ;_;
Mods are supposed to be nice!

 

[Soriku]

That quote is from 4chan apparently. It's just a silly quote seeing how SMT is more dark/bleak compared to Persona.

Is that what the reviews say?

Not all of them, some are from Twitter/forum users, and some are out of context as stated.

 

[Aeana]

I didn't make the image.

 

[Kyon]

O I C.

Anyway is this going to be $50 on the eshop?
