『SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI』Protagonists Support Thread. (Awaiting Reincarnation...)

[Idon]

Hmm, curious, an additional Daily Demon done earlier than usual:

Spoiler: Day 88

It would appear that 2 AM PST and 8 PM PST are the new times for the daily demons, so now we have 2 demons a day.
I suppose this makes them twice-daily demons... doesn't roll off the tongue as well I must say lol.

Yeah. Looks like we're getting two each day. Which makes sense if they want to show all the demons until the game's release, because otherwise we didn't have enough days for the 214 demons the game is supposed to have.

Btw I'm gonna post demon #87 because no one did yet

Spoiler

Some cool cutscenes here. We don't even get to see him in our party.

After Jikokuten, which is #88, it's time for Nekomata.

 

[PSIGuy]

First, it's double daily demons for the last 60 days.

Then, it's four demons a day for the last month.

8 demons a day for the last fortnight.

16 demons a day for the last week.

Then it doubles every day. 32. 64. 128.

The day prior to release, demons begin appearing in real life.

When game actually comes out... May god have mercy on us all.

What do you think this franchise is about?

As for the double daily demons, I like it, these little videos were always a highlight, a shame that they're not done outside Japan though, it's good marketing

It's going to be harder to keep up the pace with 2 demon showcases each day lol

 

[Willbuysmash4mw]

The advertising for this game is about to kick into overdrive, so it makes sense that the one demon reveal a day becomes two at about that time.

 

[ThunderSageNun]

pretty sure nvidia already responded with the list being speculative but I thought it was worth sharing

https://gist.github.com/xPaw/6a42aafd3c9d19b3ceab2e90b5a37cd2

I could buy SMTV being a timed exclusive similar to stuff like Octopath or BD2 (although I don't remember if those games were announced as Switch exclusives during their reveal or not, unlike SMT), but I honestly wouldn't understand why Atlus/SEGA would do that while keeping P5 a PS exclusive after all these years when Sony has no involvement in the funding or developing of the games and Golden already proved to be a big commercial success on PC.

Ay thanks for posting that, I completely forgot to post it earlier.

Anyway, considering you're posting SMTV news here, is it safe to assume you're a supporter for an SMT protagonist in Smash? Welcome to the boards by the way.

I suppose I'm a supporter, yeah.
Flynn is my most wanted character alongside The Prince from Katamari.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Could I also be a supporter?

 

[Phil | Lemon]

Could I also be a supporter?

Likewise, I would also like to be added as a supporter. As a diehard fan of Megami Tensei, an SMT rep of any kind is basically my MW right now.

 

[SNEKeater]

For a moment I wasn't sure if I was actually in the support lista. Just checked it and I'm in it lol

So, in something that may be entirely irrelevant to this thread in the end, SEGA/ATLUS have finally detailed their TGS showcase and it'll be on September 30th/October 1st. They have also confirmed it will feature a reveal of a new JRPG, which could be... really anything, honestly - maybe it i the Devil Survivor producer project teased earlier this year, maybe it is a Persona game, maybe it is a Yakuza game, maybe it is a Sakura Wars game, maybe it is a Phantasy Star game, maybe it is a new IP. SEGA is a big company...

Ooooh, true! I believe Hashino said it was hitting "the pinnacle" of its development or something like that during the New Years' discussions...

Though I don't know if I'd count that as a "new" announcement personally when it has had collabs with Etrian Odyssey Nexus and Catherine Full Body haha. Can you really be unannounced if you have multiple crossovers?

During the dialogue Kurama Tengu mentionns Kurasu Tengu so I guess it's safe to assume he will be in the game. He wasn't in Persona 5, but I think he was in Nocturne.

Siegfried is a demon I've always loved, and he looks really good. In the video he uses animations he already had in P5 but those are already very nice so I'm good. I hope he isn't a fusion accident demon though, if that mechanic is brought back to begin with.

Chernobog has a very good design. I like how in one of the attacks the camera zooms in and shows his scream, which looks well animated.

Dionysus standing out as always. Another design I really enjoy.

Next is Zouchouten, with him we only have 1 Heavenly King left to appear in these showcases.

And we still have the trailer this week.

 

[Adrianette Bromide]

So hypothetically, we know a character can be 2 months away from their release upon their reveal ala Terry where we didn't even see gameplay footage. In two months SMT V release and we're due for getting our fourth gameplay trailer soon. Potentially to be seen in a Direct, hmm...

Well, you're right with Terry, but I honestly don't think that's the same situation as Nahobino's.

First because with Pass 2 the gap between the character reveal and the actual release of the fighter has been very small, I don't remember the exact times but I don't think we had to wait more than a week and a half for the character's release. So I doubt that's going to change for CP11.

I mean if he was CP11 at that point it doesn't really matter if he releases in November or this week, assuming we'll get a Direct. Well, him releasing close to SMTV's release would be even better for the game for obvious reasons, but beyond that, the reception would be practically the same. If he's actually the last character he's just going to be announced soon and will release a week after the Sakurai Presents or something like that.

Which would technically mean he first debuted in Smash as a videogame character. That would be funny lol

Yeah I saw this before. Thanks for posting it, I wanted to do it but I also didn't want to doublepost so frequently lol

In fact I think we've already seen some glimpses of special conversations, or maybe they were just screenshots? I remember seeing one with Setanta and Scathach, and another one with Mermaid and Kelphie. Also, it seems that you won't need to manually talk to the enemy with the demon needed to trigger the convo, as long as you have the correct demon in your entire stock they will appear for the special convo. That's a nice QoL change.

Also, a few more demon showcases. Very cool ones IMO

Since the direct is tomorrow and the next trailer has to happen this week, I think it is safe to assume the trailer will be in the direct and that almost certainly means we will hear the dub tomorrow too.

Yeah, SMTV in the Direct is a lock.

Probably with the english dub as you said. Then we'll get the SMTV News Vol. 3 next week, unless the TGS livestream they announced for the game is going to be the replacement for that.

They said the news will happen at the end of the month and Atlus’ part in TGS is in the beginning of October.

The TGS stuff probably will just be more music and more gameplay.

True. I could totally see the SMTV News section happening like, next Wednesday, and then the TGS stuff for the weekend. I'm completely cool with that as long as we get more footage of the game.

I haven't read the Speculation thread yet, but I assume you're still confident on CP11 being Nahobino? Just curious.

More demon showcases while we're at it

It pretty much has to happen that way because the last news video said that there would be another one at the end of September(which is why there has to be a story trailer this week).

As for Nahobino in Smash, I am very confident.

I am even starting to re-convince some people who were backing off their initial predictions.

Nintendo did not mention that they are including Smash in the direct, and I believe that they have said that Smash would be featured beforehand in almost every direct that has included Smash content. If we don’t get a character in this direct then that means it will be October before we even know when a reveal will happen and by mid October the snowballing of SMT V advertising will be at maximum momentum ripe for a Nahobino Smash reveal to cap it all off.

Even tomorrow would not be a bad time for Nahobino to be revealed for Smash because the dub and the major story beats in the 4th story trailer(like probably Tao being a Nahobino also)are some of the only real obstacles to revealing him now, and the fact that digital preorders are probably going to start up in the west tomorrow is another good reason to really hammer the advertising home now.

People seem to think Pokémon will take over the Nintendo advertising after Dread, but I think Atlus is going to hand over the reins to Nintendo for SMT V instead, especially now that an official story trailer will be shown in a Nintendo direct(the E3 trailer was not a story trailer) and not an Atlus presentation for the first time. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is just a remake after all, and although I do think they will heavily push Arceus, I think that will be Nintendo’s main marketing focus after SMT V and the Gen 4 remake are already out and Christmas season is winding down.

 

[THE 6r]

Ever since the Kazuya reveal I've been telling anyone that would listen that the last fighter is going to be either Demi-fiend or Nahobino. I just makes too much sense for it not to be one of them.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about not seeing SMTV in the Direct in some form. It'd be nice to hear the dub for the first time, though honestly ATLUS dubs rarely disappoint so I am not deeply anticipatory or worried about it.

Maybe we'll find out a bit more about characters too... I'm curious if they'll show off the non-protagonist Nahobinos before the game launches, assuming that some of his friends do take the deal as well and turn themselves into Nahobinos.
