I paid good money for this Dynex!
I was shouting "OH MY GAADDD" in a Joseph Jostar voice.

Seeing all the SMT demons in 3D again made me weirdly excited for some reason.
I wasn't clear if this was actually SMTV or just an SMT spin-off from the trailer - either way, I'm in though.

And why would I want them?
Was this the game that had that old school final fantasy look with sprites but it was in 3D?
I think the Persona 5 engine is custom designed to handle the Persona framework, with all that entails (Co-op system, calendar/weather system, etc.). Might have just been easier to use UE4 for a game with a very different structure, based on that.

Not Strange Journey but I'm down either way.
Ugh. Don't put that thought in my head.

I don't know maybe. SMT1 -> SMT2 were the same universe as Aeana pointed out to me but SMT3 and SMT4 were different ones with SMT4A being the continuation of IV. Using that same Odin design specific to SMTIV makes me think it's related to IV
That Odin design is specific to SMTIV as I recall. The other ones and even Persona, use a different design.

Yep, he got redesigned for Apocalypse.

This was the highlight of the show for me until Zelda showed up as a launch title, but definitely a standout and easily the biggest new game reveal of the presentation despite how good Xenoblade 2 looked. Some really good games coming.
Well, I'd be much more excited for the Switch if this was a launch title.
So I take it this is that FE X SMT collab ended up being? Goddamnit Atlus

You didn't like SMTIV?
I feel it's hard to judge right now. After what they did with SMT x FE it good to keep an open mind.

This is the 25th anniversary project. It has to be something significant, even if not V.

4's okay, but I had some issues with it. Haven't played Apocalypse yet.

Sold me on a Switch right here.
A little off-topic, but what are some essential SMT games? I've beaten SMTIV and am currently playing through SMTIV:A. Also have Nocturne on my PS3.

Literally all of them since Nocturne. Every single one, including spin-offs.
Is it the project? I thought this was part of a multiple games to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

This trailer had way more then the SMT x FE one. Maybe go watch it again. Someday you'll get over it.
No guarantee they built the P5 engine in a particularly reusable way.

I don't think it is SMTV, considering that the anniversary is this year and this game falls under that umbrella. But damn if I didn't get hyped I just recently started the series with my playthrough of Nocturne, and I can't wait to see what this comes to be.
Please throw away that Lucifer design from SMTIV, though.

The Odin thing may just be Atlus bragging about their coolest recent redesign and nothing too important too. Note that Thor has his PS2 era look despite having dropped it for every post P4 Megaten.
I wouldn't mind another game in the same universe while not being a sequel, but the tone of the trailer doesn't resemble Apocalypse at all.

So far it's the only one seen, so we don't know anything else other than the fact it said projects.
They wouldn't list UE4 if it wasn't for the final game.
They either feel it does a better job supporting the Switch, or is a more efficient engine to develop games in.

Which is why I was thinking prequel, lol.
The only other thought I have if it wasn't a prequel would be it turning out to be SMT4+Apocalypse remake that combines both games using HD assets, lol. That won't happen though.

Strange Journey is the most obvious one since you have the other mainline games. SMT1 is available in English on iOS too.
For spin-offs, check out Digital Devil Saga, Raidou 2, and Soul Hackers. And the Persona games if you've missed them.
Isn't the SMT name only used for mainline entries in Japan? I thought Atlus US is the one who decide to add SMT to spin-offs like Raidou for brand recognition.
Just amazing. Half a million people saw some giant green penis riding a chariot and probably didn't even notice. I noticed they snuck Incubus in there too, just for good measure.

Was so hyped seeing this trailer and the fact they're using UE4 was a nice surprise. Hopefully production on the game won't be too bad since there's a good amount of support and documentation available for UE4.
Will pick this up when I get a Switch.

Leanan Sidhe was on deck, that's all that matters.
Odin's SMT: Apocalypse design was so good they were like
"He needs to be in another game"
Hell yes
You are not worthy of Valhalla.
No need to worry about that. It's so early that they don't even have a title yet lol

So between 2018 and 2020 for western translated version. Fuck everything. The only game on Switch I want.
