We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Oh cool, I probably watched your vids then lol. I didn't have to patience to encounter them in that one.
SMTIV did have a new fiend (Chemtrail) although they dropped it when they dropped the guest designed demons in Apocalypse (aside from a few which got new Doi art). So, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new Doi fiend. I don't think they'd redesign existing ones though, it'd be a new concept.
hard to say. Atlus also has unique demons for P5 and didn't use them for anything except for Strikers. Now they've done new designs for SMTV too. Atlus current gen output doesn't even compare to their PS2, DS/3DS library. I genuinely can't picture them making anything else for Switch or PS4.
I think the quickest title they could put out would be a new Devil Survivor. Smaller 3d rotatable maps (maybe reusing the Tokyo assets from P5) with these current demon designs/animations. Maybe with a separate attack screen. Menu based travel with visual novel talking heads narrative. Anything grander seems to trip them up.
edit: I think theyre moving on to Re:Fantasy next.

New spin-off methinks, though I would mind a Devil Survivor 3 with these models and engine.
Seems like a good time to capitalize on Fire Emblem's newfound popularity. (SMT x FE crossover, part two.)

Watch them still pronounce it "Kate Sith" just because everyone has pronounced it that way
Minotaur's design was easily one of the best guest demons in that game. I loved the series of optical illusions there.
Indeed, more people need to experience the DDS games, and I think they would be quite surprised with what they have missed out on for all these years.
Probably an IV: Apocalypse style sequel to V. I'm not entirely sure if the models here are exactly the same as the Persona 5 ones, but it's hard to tell because of the red/black shading on all the Persona 5 ones. Some are obviously new, such as the touched up Jack Frost. I don't think Moh Shuvuu or Ubellurius was in Persona 5 or Royal if I'm not mistaken.
I'm also pretty sure the Dx2 models are entirely different from all the other 3D Kaneko demons. Those models are one of the few great things about Dx2.
It'd be cool if they did an actual SMT x FE mechanical crossover this time instead of the mediocre SMT game with minor lip service given to FE mechanics we got the first time.
Still have no idea why they didn't make TMS an SRPG...
I'm fine with SMT3, it could be better, but the game is awesome anyway. Besides, they would bundle DDS1+2 so I would gladly pay full price for it.
First game post SMT5 has got to be a return to Devil Summoner series, surely? Kazayuki Yamai is the series director (aside from the first two which was Cozy Okada's games, I think?) and still at ATLUS.
Oh fair enough. Threw me off, thought it was a DS1 only redesign which got thrown out later in favour of the classic design.
Yeah, Doi had the baggage of working with the guest artists designs of IV during Apoc's development and trying to make them work better with Kaneko's designs, so Doi didn't really get to go all out last time but the ones that he came up with for Apocalypse were all good I thought. I honestly thought his redesign of Sukuna-Hikona for example is better than Kaneko's design. I'll take whatever he's got, I'm up for change. Not like ATLUS don't go back to certain classic designs anyway between releases (like Kaneko's Nocturne designs in their DS games which instead used Kaneko's designs from earlier entries instead).

The first SMT game I played was Soul Hackers and I was barely able to scrounge a team to beat the final boss in those days. Since I played Nocturne, IV, IV-A, Strange Journey.
Whatever the game throws at me I should be fine. Especially when you know how to get easy super strong demons like Shiva.

Allow me to take this opportunity to pitch Devil Summoner x Yakuza Like a Dragon to y'all.
- Dense urban environment that gradually opens up over the course of the game (as a fun fact, Yokohama, the setting of LaD, was the basis for Devil Summoner's Hirasaka City). Every once in a while you enter into a dungeon that is a normal urban space twisted by demonic magic into a dungeon environment.
- Hero character who can't use magic and spellcasting heroine partner. Maximum three demons for a five-man party.
- Turn based combat that uses something other than Press Turn to give Devil Summoner more of an identity.
- Main character runs the Kuzunoha Detective Agency and it's where you pick up sidequests like in Judgment.
I came up with this idea a year ago and actually playing Like a Dragon crystalized what it'd look like in my head. Even the name is a positive, I think, as Devil Summoner is an efficient and pointed name that sells what the game is about in a way that Shin Megami Tensei doesn't really mean anything to English speakers.

I discovered the series pretty late into my PS2's life, and it ended up dying before I could play DDS. I've been meaning to play them on the PS3 since forever, but now that we have SMT3 remastered, I'm eagerly waiting for Atlus to remaster them too. I'm sure I will enjoy the hell out of these games.
Really curious to see if we really do get the special edition on Monday.
Game pre-orders aren't often gated like this in US. Im guessing there is a reason for this and I suspect there will be some kind of a special edition here.
I still have hope for a new Raidou title further down the line. Nocturne connects current players to Raidou AND P5 has a few mechanics borrowed from it. I hope P5 is a secret testing zone for it. Would love to see those investigation segments on current gen consoles.
Oh man, you stopped right before some wild times. I hope you do get back to it in the future. The DDS duology is probably tied with Nocturne for my favorite MegaTens.
This was one of the times the western version got something way better than the Japanese version.
I feel like the box art here stands out a lot more compared to say the box art of 4 and Apocolypse. It looks a bit more inviting especially with the MC design looking great.
They are really trying to get this series to break out in the West. Nintendo did a good job with 4 now it's time to push it further.
Hmmm, will Krishna come back in this? Or be a recruitable demon?
EDIT: I like the box art more than SMTIV: Apocalypse's and around the same as SMTIV's (I'd argue both of those box arts are similarly "busy", maybe even moreso with SMTIV's which has loads of demons in the background on the front cover).

As a poster it looks great, but not so much as a box art.
I am guessing they wanted to show off the alignment reps and the major characters.
I just figured it was showing off new demon designs like IV did.
Then how come Fionn mac Cumhaill is not up there, he literally has the coolest design
upd: SMT IV and SMT IV A box cover shows the main alignment demons...
Well you've got an angel, an Egyptian god, two Shinto gods and a dog.
My alignment is dog.
How did they do it with SMT2 on PlayStation 1? That remake had voice acting didn't it(?) Always was curious.
