User warned: escalating the hostility over a series of posts
I'm only announcing loudly that you are a rude, insecure person who likes to attack strangers on the internet for having a different opinion.
honestly I don't consider this character a person. It's fake, it's not real. I will pretend it is w/e gender I want because it is fake. At the same time, I never assume anyone is male or female just because they look more feminine or masculine irl. I hope you realize that there's a difference between reality and fiction.
It wasn't like that in SMTIV so I assumed they abandoned it
Nothing more appropriate than the stream ending after getting rocked by a powerful demon.
SMTIV needed that since the combat was balanced around trading high volume burst damage. You could randomly die any turn so it was helpful that your demons stuck it out, but games like Nocturne and the good version of Strange Journey balance themselves around your MC being stronger than your demons with the consequence that it's game over when they die.
Glad it''s back.

god this looks so good. this project was AWOL for so long I hadn't dared dream we'd be seeing this much of it this soon
once again, "having a different opinion" is certainly one way to frame your shitty posts. anyway i hope you can fully recover from the discovery that someone with long hair can be a man soon

Its also releasing later than the other games..and thats Atlus we should be happy that they are letting us see anything without fuckery and weird streams.
And honestly...while you are right i kinda dont wanna see much more of it at this point. This is such a clear Day 1 game - dont care about anything else that releases this Holiday season. SMT V and im good until 2022.
Treehouse Gameplay
Oh yeah! Most definitely, that didn't even cross my mind. Whilst the Nocturne comparisons are undeniable - this does look like it's going to be an interesting counterbalance with a narrative focused on "Law".
I wouldn't mind a full party of protagonists similar to Apocalypse; but I do think this game is drawing heavily from Nocturne (with the barren landscapes and desolate atmosphere) so I wouldn't be surprised if we were exploring the world alone once again. They have been quiet about the factions, you're right; we know next to nothing about the cast and the roles they will play. I wouldn't be mad if the game took a page out of SMT 1/2/4 and had different characters representing the alignment paths we can take - it always helped me feel invested in their reasoning a little more.
I'm very excited about this! I appreciate all the nods to different aspects of the series history we've seen so far, I'm feeling very positive about it!
It's probably not really a priority given the turn based battles.
I mean is there any meaningful challenge in the SMT combat system if the whole party has to get wiped out?
It's not a binary good or bad decision, it can be adapted and balanced to suit the appropriate level of challenge for the game.
It's a personal vandetta because I've had some traumatizing experiences because of it
Its not out for a couple of months, so im sure they are gonna optimize quite a bit until launch.
Surprised that we even got a longer gameplay deep dive considering this is Atlus.
For it being an Atlus game I'd say it looks great.
Atlus is not known for being a graphical showcase.
MegaTen PTSD flashbacks are part of the experience haha.
I remember seeing a Twitter post recently saying they beat Matador on Hard on their third try in Nocturne HD and then a demon self destructing straight after and losing like 45 minutes progress...
Would be nice if there was at least some sort of compromise, like having one turn to Recarm your protagonist before it's permanent.
It was introducing gameplay elements to people who are hearing about Shin Megami Tensei for the first time.
Atlus is actually trying to market the series to people who won't just automatically buy it.
That sounds like a way to get into a loop of constantly reviving the MC and encouraging a turtle-focused combat system.
I know everyone's gotten their own one-shot story, but there are ways around SMT's dice roll. It's an RPG, that dice roll is sometimes the only meaningful challenge that can exist.
I love the details that make the world feel alive: dust clouds, the wind causing the sand dunes to shimmer, the demon animations, shadows, demons populating the far distances. Just a lovely overall living demonic world.

OP
They're trying to appeal to more people by introducing the game and its mechanics in a more straightforward way. Which seems to be working from the general reception I've seen having a lot of people who haven't played SMT before are now interested in 5.
It is worse indeed, but I understand they had to change it a bit to introduce the series to new players with a narration.
There might be some sort of difficulty setting to disable it. That's how it worked in Persona Q and Q2 (only the hardest difficulty had protagonist death resulting in game over).
Even if that's not the case though you usually can get endure (survive a lethal hit with 1hp) skills for your main character by mid game so it ends up not being that bad in practice. You still have to be careful with your protagonist's HP but you at least are protected against getting wrecked by ambushes.
Saw the treehouse footage without audio (was out for lunch) but still, had the biggest grin on my face.
Looks phenomenal. November can't come soon enough

Man, this game looks rough.
Design wise it looks great. But the technical side of things are leaving a lot more to be desired.
Yeah I saw people in Twitch chat hyping up the OST but I couldn't hear it over the commentary : (
I never played a SMT game but this looks great, day one.
Looks more open than usual, no? I don't remember SMT games having those somewhat large open areas. From what i've seen, of course. I never actually played any of them. :P

I really hope they do more SMT in UE4/5 now that the assets are ready, like they did DDS1&2 and Raidou 1&2 during the PS2 era.
Let me rephrase that: ATLUS, REMAKE SMT IV AND IV A IN UNREAL ENGINE 4 FOR THE SWITCH, PLEASE.
