In 2020, maybe.
I'm gonna say 75% chance. I think we'll see the first real trailer for it, and either no release date or winter 2019 for Japan.
Yeah, my concern with a remake over a port would be it possibly losing its original aesthetic and overall vibe.
The other concern of course is going from glorious Kazuma Kaneko art as seen here:
Kaneko hasn't done character art since the original Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey in 2009 so that would almost certainly be out the window if they did a remake and not a remaster.
He still is the main demon designer for Atlus (worked on both SMTIV and Persona 5) but he's pretty much step back from character art and any PR facing role.
Nocturne with Doi art downgrade and waifus added. no thanks, not trusting modern Atlus.
A largely untouched remaster with uncompressed music would be awesome... Nearly anything else coming from modern Atlus would be a disaster. The thought of a Nocturne remake with Doi art, new characters, new routes and/or save everywhere is Absolutely Disgusting.
Doi art is better thoYeah, my concern with a remake over a port would be it possibly losing its original aesthetic and overall vibe.

Come back to us Kaneko-sama ;-;
As long as they don't mess with the art style. Newer SMT games are starting to trend in a "generic perverse anime" direction that I don't like. No jiggle please...
Hmm, as far as I know, while his demon designs were contributed to all future MegaTen titles, he hasn't drawn any new demon art either in quite a while.
(hence main demon designer)
Any new demon designs for SMTIV were handled by outside artists or Doi himself. As for Persona 5, it'd be Soejima I'd imagine.
Were you at least a bit ashamed to post this?
No, because liking someone's art more shouldnt be something I would be ashamed

I'd really hope they wouldn't pull a Strange Journey Redux with this if it happens. The original didn't have 2D portraits, and unless they go completely Doi-style cel-shading or something, I'd imagine it surely would keep the original art style.Yeah, my concern with a remake over a port would be it possibly losing its original aesthetic and overall vibe.

In my case, save anywhere ruins all tension and sense of danger, which is essential in these games. It sucks to have it in SJ Redux and it's especially baffling to have it there.I agree with you except for save anywhere. Don't see how that could hurt... but the reason games like SMTIV have it is because you can fuse anywhere. I'm going to assume if this remake/remaster is on Switch they'll include save anywhere because it's portable.
I mean, it goes without saying that a remake would include new 3D models and it's not that crazy to speculate they'd be redesigned with Doi's style instead. It's entirely possible.I seriously don't understand the handwringing over Doi art ruining the game. Nocturne has no 2D portraits.
All it'd amount to is a change in the style of the boxart. The New Girl's design probably won't jar against the rest of the cast when homogenised to a 3D model either.
Nocturne doesn't need a remake. It only needs a remaster at most.
Not only that but a remake today would mean no Kaneko. I don't need to see demi-fiend blushing
Deep Strange Journey Redux is allegedly a remake - I think that sort of port is what they actually mean.
The biggest update I'd expect would be voice acting - maybe even in English this time?
SJ Redux is a full remake with everything redone except the music. It's even running in SMT4's engine.

I dislike Kaneko's art (sorry) and I enjoy modern QoL conveniences that respect the player. If that's blasphemous then so be it, but I'm totally down with the remake of your nightmares
There's a big difference between SMTxFE that was revealed as just random character jpegs, before the first trailer was shown as TMS#FE, and SMTV which was revealed as a dark showing of demons (and being a throwback on SMT 1) before getting this trailer giving strong Kaneko vibes...We know NOTHING about this game or it's tone. I still remember people getting excited for how dark SMT x FE would be, especially with the initial tease. But we got fucking pop idols. So we'll see with V.
I stand corrected
Doi could never, sigh. I'm convinced he is straight up the worst thing about SMT nowadays.I don't think it is being disputed that SJ Redux is a remake, many changes were made to the game overall to be more than a remaster. Its visual look has also been changed.
The question is: does it deserve to be changed in Nocturne, or does it only need to be upscaled ? My opinion is the latter
They can add more content if they want to, like the womb, but its art needs to remain untouched
