Shin Megami Tensei Series

He wants his "chosen" to live in equality...and wants to kill the unworthy. Say what you will about the Three Archangels, but they weren't going genocide with their classism. Just slavery and segregation.

(For the record, Satan, and to a lesser extent Gabriel, is not OK with either method, but eh)

Also, I am amused because it's implied that the Three Archangels were wrong with how they divided people into worthy and unworthy. When Gabriel starts taking people to Eden, she takes handfuls from all parts of Tokyo Millennium, and leaves several of the previously deemed "worthy" behind, to their confusion and frustration.

On a totally different note, I've started wondering about what the villains in SMT X FE will be like. Will it be a coalition of SMT and FE villains, you think? Multiple factions? FE villains do tend to lend themselves well to Law (the "unity through force" types like Walhart and Zephiel, and of course the Senators of Begnion) and Chaos (most of the cultist types).

I mostly care about the mechanics. I see much potential abuse in a Fire Emblem game that allows for multiple buffs and debuffs. And if they incorporate a variation of the Press Turn system then we can get Galeforce without actually having Galeforce.

That will be interesting, if they add the SMT-style buffs and debuffs. I've also wondered if it'll be possible to pair SMT and FE characters in supports.

Did a funny thing yesterday in SJ: Fused a Baphomet into a Zhen, and then used that Zhen to fuse a better Baphomet.

Next up - facing Asura.

Hey guys...NEW IP!

And considering that Atlus typically has a spin-off for every console generation...(or handheld at least, currently)

Hmm, "that title" and a completely new IP. The context clues seem to indicate that neither is Persona-related, either.

Wasn't it reported a while back that they had issued a Trademark for something called "Devilriser"?

There's a Persona stage play?

How does that work?

There's been stage plays of games and anime for YEARS in Japan.

Actors dressing up as the characters.

I'm not questioning the idea that it exists. I can see a stage play for something like Love Hina or Azumanga Daioh.

Persona seems a bit on the fantastic side to have a stage play, so I'm wondering what it looks like. When the characters assume their Personas, do they change costumes, or does someone else play the Persona?

There's a Persona porn drama, for f's sake. An official one, to boot.

hahaha, amazing.

what

the only part of that that surprises me is the official tag.

Perofella.

Best part is that all the porn is between a guy who looks well into his thirties with a bunch of schoolgirl-looking actresses.

... I'm reasonably certain that was a parody, in the legal sense.

Ah, yeah. I remember the guys on Gamefaqs talking about it once when someone asked "What if Atlus had funded it?"

Most were horrified, others were amused, and at least one person said that Yuu should have gotten a better actor. "The guy they choose gives people nightmares" they said.

@Frish: I assume someone plays their personas, seeing as they aren't transformations.

And Delphinus is done. Only took two fights against Asura, wherein the first one I learned "oh, right, Ironman Vest + Fire = Dead Mehreen."

Sitting pretty at level 37 with Rakshasha, Black Frost, and Lorelei being primary.

If there was anything on this planet worth becoming a murder over.......

Read a bit of a SMTII Let's Play that took the Neutral path. Y'know, even though they say in that game Chaos is the one where everyone roots for you, you seem to make some pretty powerful friends on Neutral, too: Daleth and his girlfriend, the Kami and Masakado (who lends you his Katana to go give Lucifer a few knocks on the head) and of course Stephen, who IMO made a much better pitch than Lucifer.

Though Lucifer and Satan are also very sympathetic, and their pitches make sense too. It's just that YHVH is doing what none of them want.

So, it seems that Atlus has realised what a trainwreck the whole Europe and SMTIV business has been. The game is launching at half the price.
