Random thought: the lyrics of "Move Your Dead Bones" kind of sounds like Dagda's deal with Nanashi. "Let me give you some green color," indeed.

So I just got done experiencing the Raidou duology for the first time via Let's Plays on LPArchive. They seem really good, if very different from both mainline SMT and Persona, not that that's a bad thing; very engaging stories. I was struck by HOW much more complex the sequel was than the original, adding tons of sidequests and even alignments, though the latter doesn't seem to affect much bar Raidou's supposed personality and which sibling pulls the Heroic Sacrifice at the end.

It determines whether you fight Lucifer on New Game Plus, and following that Masakado by going Neutral after finishing it.

Heh, funny coincidence, the Big Bad of Raidou 2 was almost a prototype for the White in terms of motives.

I wish Raidou manga was fully translated. Judging from raws, it seems interesting and it also lets Nagi have some badass moments (liked her in the game, but felt she was underutilized). Also, obligatory "next game when".

Speaking of manga, I'm going to be stuck without internet until next month, so I was looking to download something to read meanwhile. Found Devil Survivor manga. I was planning to check it eventually (heard it's good), and since I'm replaying the game, it seems appropriate to read it now.

If it's another P5 dancing game, that's when we riot.

Very much lol if it ends up a P 5 R port to Switch

P5 Dancing Game had good supports.

But neither it nor P3 should have been separate.

So guys, if it's SMT V, how do you guys feel about the designs from the IV era?

Doi does good work

I honestly have few complaints from what I saw from IV

There are a lot of demons from the IV era I would love to see animated in 3D. I still hope that the IV versions of the Four Archangels will return since I really like those designs, but I would love to see Maitreya, Cleopatra, and the Apocalypse version of Satan animated in 3D as well.

And while she's not from IV, I really want to see Shekinah in 3D. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get another Godly (either a new one or a redesigned YHVH avatar is fine by me) and have that be the final boss of V.

Initially hit or miss, but the touch ups definitely helped.

[up][up][up] It's fine, it's a me thing. Honestly with currents happening some of my first thoughts revolved about not wanting to be tear gassed and other bits of Black Comedy which I'm also kicking myself over. So not entirely in the best state of mind.

Though I think we save energy our big fight.

That's for the PC Gaming Show. I'd set my expectations on a PC port similar to the Catherine Vanilla one, which Atlus Japan had nothing to do with.

I really hope this is an SMT or Persona for PC. I'll take anything, honestly. Atlus really cripples their potential sales by not having a contracting company port their games.

IV Part 31: Reunion Before the End of the World

Sort of an odds and ends update where I fill out the rest of the Tokyo map before embarking on the Neutral route's Inevitable Tournament. I think I had only four or five required challenge quests left by that point though IIRC.
