Yamato sounds too old, the voice director seems to have forgotten he's supposed to be 17.

On another note, I finally finished the third sector in Strange Journey! Yes, I started this file about two years ago or whenever the game came out, but I was never able to find where that loving demon disappeared to. Lo and behold, it was an invisible door in an invisible path that I never noticed. I even checked maps and still couldn't see it. God drat this game.

This is what I like about it. I get that Yamato was meant to be really young for a leader, but it still fell prey to that stupid Japan thing where everyone is just RIDICULOUSLY young to the point where it gets stupid. I'm hoping that they'll shove that poo poo under the carpet and pretend that he's a bit older.

Also, there is already lots of great shots of Yamato in these promos. I might have to get a Yamato avatar soon...

I hope Atlus acknowledges the references and grabs some VAs from NGE. Looking through the cast list, Shinji's VA is Atsuro in DS:OC.

It seems doubtful that the 3DS is going to be dead in 2 years time, unless Nintendo takes a drastically different approach to handhelds than they have for the past 9 years.

The problem there, is that while it might be in America in 2 years it's probably gonna be another 2 on top of that before Europe even gets considered (see also: Overclocked, which is finally coming out here 4 years after it was released).

If you look really closely, you can see that they're more like scars as opposed to eyelashes. The anime just makes it so much more pronounced that it's really awkward to look at.

This is going to be a good year for SMT. I'm looking forward to replaying Soul Hackers in April, and I think I'll just bite the bullet and pick up the JP version of SMTIV when it comes out. Not sure I can wait for that.

I'm a little sad that Kaneko has pretty much disappeared. I'm off two minds about the sentai villain monster designs in SMTIV.

So from what I've been hearing, the epilogues in DS:O are either not necessary or actively detrimental to the plot, and P4G has a character more terrible than the other P4 characters, right? And then considering stuff like The Answer...

What I'm saying is that i'm actually kind of nervous about this because i know they're going to mess things up. When it comes to Atlus, new content is usually not a good thing.

On the other hand the FemMC in P3P was arguably better than the male MC and the Maniacs version of Nocturne (which is the one we got in the US) was a flat improvement aside from maybe Matador being a bit of a roadblock.

The new content in P4 was actually unanimously pretty great. Even Marie, though she could have been executed better probably.

I can't even imagine how the narrative in Nocturne even comes together without the Amala Labyrinth, the Fiends, and Lucifer. All that added content was like half the fun, too!

That depends entirely on the person playing. I didn't think Marie was that bad at all. Some people went into the game thinking she would be the worst thing ever and didn't even leave themselves open for any other thoughts.

Let's not kid ourselves, the remakes are without exception the definitive versions of their respective game series. When was the last time anyone suggested that a newcomer play vanilla Persona 3, or would recommend Persona 4 over Persona 4 Golden, all else being equal? As someone who never got around to playing DS2, I'm looking forward to seeing what they feel is worth changing about the original.

Huh. I guess you're right. Although...that'd be something I'd tone down in the anime, not slap about 1000 neon signs on them and have all of the signs say "LookatmeLookatmeLookatmeLookatmeLookatme!", which is what they went for. Still, it's minor...but jarring. Still waiting on hearing how Kotaru Nakagawa's music will sound. And how many mariachi bands he'll bring for the ride.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I really would be all over a Nocturne remake, though. I love it, but it's... very dated. Hell, take a couple days to backport a bunch of the interface stuff from newer Megatens and you've already made it a must-buy. Toss in some of the redesigns for demons with really boring old looks like Loki for extra points, but that's not even necessary.

EDIT: Rewrite the Reasons so they aren't all objectively awful, too, and you've perhaps made the perfect Megaten game.

I don't want to see 20 ports of PS2 SMT games, if they want to port old stuff fine, but I was already annoyed with P3P and P4G even if they did turn out really good. Thankfully we're getting a lot of new stuff soon.
