See what I was expecting was a real SMT/FE absolute downerfest of a game
And i would have loved that
(Featuring dante from the devil may cry series)


The TMS got announced and i dunno i think my eyes glazed over with rage for a while and I denied its existence.

But I guess the gameplay is good though very slow to pick up if i heard right, even if I think the character designs are hot overdesigned trash and the story is a trite PoS.

Ah yes, the companies whose recent outputs alone include Persona 3, the entire Persona 4 subfranchise, Devil Survivor 2, and Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates (let alone their entire back catalogs) would never produce an anime game. There is absolutely nothing anime about any of those games in the slightest.

Yeah but all of those are good games.
Which is sort of my point.

Being a (central character) lord and being bog-standard boring go hand in hand.

The first lord with any real personality quirks is Lucina, iirc. And shes almost an exception since she isnt there from the start.



Well would Hector count?

Oh god yeah Ephraim.
When I think Sacred stones tho I think mostly of Eirika.

And mostly since im counting lords that have been there since chapter 1.
Eliwood gets close because of Durandal though.

Most of the female characters in this game are. We've already seen Tsubasa and Kiria, and they're more stacked than high school girls have a right to be. It's funny, because neither Atlus nor IntSys has much of a history of exaggerated character designs like this.

Yeah, they definitely changed one of her other outfits, but I don't think this one was a victim of that trend. And I rarely have her in that outfit when she's in my party. I usually use either her casual clothes (which we saw her revert to before she ninja-vanished), or one of her performance outfits.

It depends on the artist they hire, really.
Mainline SMT has gone with Kazuma Kaneko most of the time and his human designs are all about that sleek and slender form and LINES LINES LINES GOTTA HAVE LIIINES. You also have Shigenori Soejima on the Persona (3 onwards) side, no introductions necessary, though to my eye hes Kaneko with a softer touch and more color, at least for the persona games, not surprising since Kaneko was his mentor.


From what I can glean Toi8 (its a pseudonym for an artist) is the main character designer, and looking at their various sketches off of GIS, well its their preferred mode of design lets just put it that way.
Theyre also the main character artist for I Am Setsuna. So yeah.
I dont like their style personally.

I hope his ridiculous outfit is like something from GWAR.

Nocturne uses a system called "Press Turn" where you get a turn for every party member you have, consumed upon use, and you can also add a "half" turn by exploiting a weakness. The thing to understand though is that bosses get multiple turns (Matador gets two, for instance, letting him Dekunda away your debuffs and then go again).

The rub is that it goes both ways:
Enemies can get half-turns off your weaknesses as well.

Which can work out pretty badly in a game like DDS1/2, where you dont have the usual SMT luxury of picking and choosing and have set weaknesses for each character.

In the Original DnD clerics wore heavy armor and used maces.
in FF1 Whiet mages could, in direct reference to TTRPGs of the day, can wield hammers.
There is no reason a healer should be delicate :getin:

He didnt even burst out of his clothes in an imagined scene where he hurtles naked past the solar system and rockets into the sun which is also a donut from the sheer food ecstasy.
