It looks like Devil Survivor 2 Break Record will largely be the same as Overclocked (everything's on the bottom screen but wowee check out those 3D menus!!). The new scenario will apparently be selectable from the title screen and it will feature a casual mode.

It also apparently features a totally new and original character:


I seriously can't tell if this is supposed to be legit or not, because it's so stupid, but it probably will be.

The gently caress is wrong with that lady's spine?

Well that's lazy. Just do it on the top screen and don't have 3D! Whatever, I wanted to play this and I've waited for a 3DS version.

Some engineer boots get pretty high, but I don't think you'll find them like that unless you have a wacky couture designer.

I guess if you look back at Fire Emblem 7/8, they got some insanely long thigh-high boots.

I'm a bit confused on what her weapon is. A whip? A sword? A whip that turns into a sword, because there's two blue thingies separating from the handle.

Yasuda Suzuhito is one of the biggest hacks out there in character design, but for some reason he has successfully become a brand-name so people want to attach his name and horrible designs to their projects.

I'm sorry to say this, but most people don't care about bad anatomy in consumer art.

For example, you know how many pieces there are of women where you can see their butt pointed at the viewer, while their waist up are turned to the side to show off a generous helping of boobs?

That pose would theoretically be hell on someone's back, yet you see it constantly because it provides titillation. People just don't care.

W. T. Fits knows what's up.

I think anatomy in consumer art can be overly nitpicked (usually seeing what's obviously a stylistic choice done with skill portrayed as "bad art"), but yeah, this dude's characters sometimes look like they'd be in incredible pain.

Famitsu says that the new scenario in Break Record has roughly the same amount of content as a full fledged RPG. It doesn't look like there are any in-battle screenshots in the article, so I wonder what they're hiding...

Very rough, but the second one seems to be saying "The people called the Japan Meteorological Agency, Geomagnetism Research Department... aren't in JP's."


e: Yeah, I probably should've noticed that what I thought was the full name for JP's didn't actually contain any kanji for Japan.

That's actually the kanji for Yamato's name. So she's more saying "There's no one by the name Hotsuin Yamato in JP's", I think. Which is weird. Maybe it has something to do with his twin sister showing up.

Well, I'm an idiot. :downs:

Seeing how this happens on Sunday and presumably after all the world changing stuff, this might be "8th day" related alternate timelines shenanigans, which means I might seriously buy the game again.

They could also do a story set after the ending where everything goes back to normal. Retell the same story, except closer to what happens in the anime.

Probably, for length alone.

I wonder if they're going to imply anything about the female protagonist at all. I doubt she'll show up for obvious reasons, but there's still ways to drop hints about that story.

It wouldn't really make sense for them to mention her considering she doesn't exist.

The name implies two to four movies.

Either "Spring of Birth" and "Winter of Death" or a Sping/Summer/Fall/Winter themed set. (With the final still probably being called Winter of Death.)

They'll definitely need multiple films, there's too much plot to go through and for some reason Japan can't make anime films that go on for more than 90 minutes. (This hurt when watching The Berserk films)

I just wonder if this is a precedent to a penultimate version of P3 or they're using this to get people up to speed on Persona for the new game.

I think it's still too early to tell. I don't think anyone has picked up the show yet, but I haven't been on ADTRW in a while. Last I saw, several major anime companies were looking to cut out the middleman and put their stuff streaming subbed straight from the source.
