Shin Megami Tensei IV *SPOILERS ABOUND*

I'm gonna cross my fingers for a Switch version.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Is it to much to hope for Kaneko's return, and him truly cutting loose like he did with the Jiken series of books?

I'm no Doi basher but I feel like Kaneko has to do something. It's a total Airavata in the living room other wise.

Cute.

Kaneko's made way less designs over time so either Kaneko's going to reveal a ton of new ones, or hopefully him and Doi make a bunch of new designs together, I'd rather that over a small few from one or the other.

Maybe that's why we haven't seen him for so long, he has been busy working on whatever this title is. (wishful thinking, I know).

So a teaser for the new game is out, and all I will say is that I will remain cautious about this game until I know which people are involved with this game, especially after IVA. One thing I did notice however was the the environment looks a lot like it has the same designer as the IV duology, so my hopes of Kaneko's return looks like they are dashed. However I am seriously worried regarding Odin, mostly cause not only is it using his IVA design, but the trailer also focused heavily on him, making my gut feeling tell me that this game is related to IVA.

Kaneko had a lot of say in the environments for IV as mentioned in the artbook.

If the Switch game goes to the US, I wonder if D.C. Douglas will reprise his role as Odin? I loved his Odin voice.

So somebody at r/Megaten said there's a line in Apocalypse that implies Lucifer killed Mastema and destroyed the Red Pill factory offscreen, which is why neither of them appear. Any truth to this? I certainly don't remember it.

There is a line from an NPC that suggests he destroyed the Red Pill operation and indeed Ashura-kai say there is no more red pills and the entrance to Reverse Hills is destroyed.

Huh. Do you remember who says it?

No idea. I know the no more red pills is brought up in quest details against the Aztec Goddess at Club Milton wanting them to fix her body.

So did we ever find out who voices YHVH in the English version?

My best guess is Paul Eiding, but that's just a guess.

I'm pretty damn sure it's an uncredited Paul Eiding, yeah. I've played enough Metal Gear Solid to recognize that man's voice anywhere.

Did Nanashi have biological parents, or was he just created ex nihilo by the Axiom? I remember it was said he mysteriously appeared as a baby at the base of the Sky Tower.

The timeline dlc mentions it. Baby at the bottom of the tower.

I thought Mastema was behind it to be honest.

Well, I just got SMT IV Apocalypse.

Looks like a pretty good game from what I've seen.

I'm hoping to recruit some nifty demons. Got my eye on Decarabia.

The starfish?

Let me know if they're any good

In Apocalypse?

He's baby's first Fallen, though he is pretty decent in the first steps of the game thanks to getting both Agi and Bufu.

Decarabia can't seem to decide if he wants to be "early game fodder" or "mid-game Weak, but Skilled gimmick demon"

I love him - he joined up after hearing I want to reconcile our races, and learned Agi shortly after. The starfish is indeed useful, and to Pastry Person, I would recommend him.

I also got Porewit, Fuxi and some others. I'm looking to make Angel and evolve her over the course of my playthrough.

Ah, here's a fun fact, then;

Cherub can evolve back into the standard angel, but it looks different and is extremely powerful at that point.

That's the SMT Nocturne standard angel that Cherub evolves into.
