To be a bit more serious, I'm gonna quote myself from...wow, over a year ago now.

I wish they had done more with Chiaki, but Nocturne absolutely does do its stylistic, very minimal storytelling exceptionally well. The reason I want more Chiaki is because I thoroughly enjoy the tiny bit of what they gave us.

The voice-acting in the remaster adds an extra layer to all this, too.
"I was chosen to be here. That's what I believe, and that's how I'm going to carry myself."

To me, it reads like this broken girl is willing herself to believe in this fate, this destiny, because she needs to in order to keep herself going.

But that's just how everyone has to live. A Reason is a worldview and in that sense, every one of us in the real world has our own Reason. That's what it means to be human - to look at this meaningless world and give it meaning. We might not live through apocalypses but it's what gets us through our own struggles and makes them bearable.

I viewed at the time SMT3 as Isolation Horror. mainly a RPG counterpart to Metroid Prime I felt back then? the whole idea of being trapped absolutely beyond the pale and the protag having only their keen wits and sheer determination to see them through while things progressively go even more to hell. very character driven yet very lonely like Alien or The Thing. ppl much smarter than me have likely expounded upon this better but thats just off the top of my head. SMT4 is way dif because Isabeau and the Neutral humans are my friends.

I hope the SMT tradition of "characters developing completely insane beliefs in between cutscenes for no apparent reason" continues onward into the future.

thinking about messing around with another playthrough of SMTV

whats the trick to getting the Chaos Miracle at the end again? just pick the rudest dialog options? thats typically the second one right?

also, is there a canon or semicanon name for the Nahobino? from like a radio show or manga or something

Whats this about SMT 5 on PC? I assume its gonna happen bc of the Microsoft/Sega partnership, but all I can source is weird AI clickbait. Id get a Steam Deck just for this for the graphical upgrade and achievements alone

I always dismissed Mothman bc irl pretty much the worst type of backstory a cryptid can get and an even worse Richard Gere movie, but I have been shown the truth. Mothman? Best demon in SMT.

I always had a soft spot for Nozomi even tho shes a doofus bc SMT4 Apocalypse turned a throwaway questgiver character from SMT4 into a full companion and examples of that in video game sequels and sequels in media in general are uncommon at best so Im a fan! ..and yeah her Fairy Queen/Cyberpunk Demon Hunter look is real neato actually

I am critical of both SMTIV and V and particularly their alignment reps, but I do have to admit "this guy beat me up 30 years ago so I need to fuse with a demon" is pretty weak as far as motivations go. Like, I understand the world ended and is full of demons now and Ozawa is also a tyrant brainwashing and killing folks, but Chaos Hero's grudge all stems from Ozawa bullying him. Now he's gone. Kind of a weak arc there, friend. I didn't expect too much from the game, of course, but just gotta say.

I would fuse with a demon for far less than that wtf

I like videogame music a lot but I also generally like music a lot and I have fun comparing a videogame soundtrack to a genre - smt4 is clearly synth wave/dark wave stuff and there are bands you’d love if you want something similar

I never figured out what the cool ominous reverse chanting of strange journey is similar to

tell me the bands 👀

SMT4, and 4A amd 5 if u got any ideas!

I'd rebuy SMTV for like $30-$40 just for the performance boost, but not full price

the memories of me travelling around the New England area searching random rear end storefronts for obscure PS1 Atlus games are amusing in hindsight now that digital has long since been the standard and Atlus games are on sale near constantly

rn, Im waiting for Persona 3 to go on sale in a month or two, or whatever
