Shin Megami Tensei Series

Since they're apparently giving the option, I'm gonna just have to do a "kill everyone" run.

Isn't that just a Neutral ending, though?

Nah, the "Kill Everyone" is the Whites' ending. Along with a helping of "I can't believe I let a bunch of emo morons talk me into this" or "I'm only doing this to get that little yellow dot on my save file and get to New Game+ early."

No, that's an Early Bad Ending; I think they were talking about an Omnicidal Neutral ending.

That is the White ending. I'm guessing the endings in this game will be:

• Nihilism/Bad ending
• Law
• Chaos
• Neutral
• "Bad" Neutral/Old Gods

Still counts as a "Kill them all" ending. Since, you know, everyone's dead because of you. Unless some of them managed to survive, then it's a "Tried to kill everyone but epically failed" ending.

I wonder if Krishna will have a demon form, and if it'll be recruitable?

Wow. I really got to do more on Vanilla SMTIV now.

I've still only done the White ending.

There's no Deicide option for Walters baby and Protagonist.

For some reason the SMTIV: Final give a feel of Nocturne 2.

And look like we still gonna have crappy Law endings.

Apparently Medusa and Mermaid are both members of the Polytheistic faction.

I wonder if all the new demons will get a Doi redesign? What about mooks like Centaur and Napaea?

100% cut I hope.

Napea was fine, but I dunno what the hell was up with IV's centaur design. There's being creative with the concept and then there's whatever the fuck that modern art sculpture was.

For some reason the SMTIV: Final give a feel of Nocturne 2.

And look like we still gonna have crappy Law endings. If Lucifer is in the thread and YHWH too....crap.

Seeing how there's a polytheistic faction, there's one particular demon I really want to see: Echidna. I think the only main series game she appeared in was the first one, and considering how she was the one that gives the first game's main character information about how YHVH began his persecution of the old gods, it seems fitting that she should be present in the new three-way war.

Krishna's an interesting choice to lead the "forgotten old gods" faction, considering Hinduism's the largest non-Abrahamic religion by far and has close to a billion adherents.

All the Grigori are now toast. Only one dungeon left!

For those who want to see what Merkabah and Lucifer look like redesigned, here are◊ some scans◊.

Also, according to the first scan, Krishna's going to be voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda. So basically we have Seto Kaiba leading an army of gods against God and Lucifer.

medusa looks massively improved.

Everyone looks better. This is shaping up to be what 4 should have been from the start, and I loved 4.

Man, if Doi ends up being the main SMT artist from here on, I'd not complain- He's got the same chops Kaneko does.

I still prefer previous versions of Lucifer, but I can actually buy his version of the IV design as him, at least!

I know some people have actually mistaken his art for Kaneko's. I'd imagine he's deliberately trying to stick close to his, as part of the "response to fan feedback" thing.

Am I the only one that doesn't get why people are saying these new designs are so much better? I admit the black color scheme suits Lucifer but Medusa and Merkabah don't really look that different to me.

Because they are in a consistent artstyle instead of a mishmash of art.

Also Doi added touch ups that make the designs less grotesque. Merkabahs eyes have been changed, Medusas entire face and pose.
