Strange Journey remake - thoughts?

So it's pretty much trash then.

Fatlus is shite
Back to your containmment thread

It's not just Strange Journey. They are going to remake Radiant Historia as well. Complete with an extra female character thrown into the mix with a fucking airship of all things.

I've seen it. Change in artstyle coompletely misses the mood of the original too.
Remakes never ever.

Strange journey only takes place in the shwarswelt, it seems like they are making a part that takes place outside of it with the girl and owl dude.

...

Look for the first terrorist attack on japanese shores. I am going to tokyo and making a fertilizer bomb to explode in a van outside of atlus HQ. I expect the casualties from those living on the street and in the building to be very high.

At this point you can expect the switch game to just be another remake if it's ever anything.

How the fuck am I a goon for not liking this shitty new artstyle?

Sorry Fatlus fuck, I'll express my opinion either you want it or not.
MODERN ATLUS IS SHIT
FUCKING SHIT!!!

Why remake a game with worse character design ?

And getting studio A1 to animate the intro, they just don't give a shit.

Yeah also seem to share the opinion with the rest of the thread saying this looks to generic anime. It's fucking gay and
MODERN ATLUS IS SHIT
THEY ARE WORSE THAN SQUARE ENIX

I dont mind the artsyle and kind of like it, im not autistic enough to get mad at changes like that either. Everything cant stay the same forever you bunch of babies.

Also i have a request.
Can someone gachi-fy this and make it say DEEP DARK FANTASY while replacing the owl and the girl with some of those gachi dudes?

NO MARIE, NO BUY.

Also I really don't feel like SJ needed a remake. It was great but they would ruin it tremendously I'm sure.

With worse character design AND an added waifu. Don't forget that. It's ATLUS policy to add something extra about a waifu or an extra waifu every time they remake a game.

>We will never get a prequel with Heiss as the protagonist

man, Aigis doesn't look too bad when she doesn't have a fucking giraffe neck.

Those two were a bit tragic. Not really heroic per se but loyal to their kingdom. Even if they didn't agree with their ruler's madness they obeyed orders they despised, like pic related.

Every time I think Modern Atlus starts improving, they pump out shit like this.

So, who could owlbro possibly be? He can't be Moloch, given where you fight him, and he's male, so he can't be Minerva. What is he?

Don't forget that fucking airship in a game where there was no such thing.

Get ready to continue to not beat it.

If you go Law or Chaos, you're a fucking chicken. If your name turns red, use Law demons in battles until you return to normal, if your name turns red, use Chaos Demons until you return to normal. At all times use Neutral demons if you can to save yourself the headache, or use a party configuration of Hero, Neutral, Law and Chaos.

The Neutral path is the best path in the game, because going Chaos or Law dooms the world to a land of endless war, or a land of cucks who can only praise some idiot mindlessly.

The only way to destroy the Schwarzwelt is to go Neutral, and if you want to recruit any form of the betrayers (Human, Human/Demon, Full Demon), you can do so through a code generator instead of going the Law or Chaos route to get them, which lowers their stats a tad, but there's ways to get stat items to easily rectify that, and they're nothing special anyway.

Anyway, the Neutral route has the most fun bosses, has more content in general and you should go Neutral the first playthrough anyway because the other two paths only have extra stuff and quests on subsequent playthroughs, while the Neutral Path has everything from the start.

Prepare your anus for bosses that can just kill you whenever they want

The game isn't new by a long shot but still.
That method is highly unreliable. You're better off using the Goblin in Antlia.

I stand with this guy, neutral route best route.

Also what the fuck are the betrayers? My name just became white so i decided to use white demons? Was there something i was missing?

Also get demons with high strength stat with charge, they will fuck the final boss up

Dude use whatever demons you want. Changing alignments is a matter of the questions demons and people ask you throughout the game, so if you are a holy cuck, be edgy, vice versa.

Here's why. I fucking hate Atlus and I hope every single employee of theirs dies.
Every fucking RPG series I have ever loved is now dead. Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Sonny (flash game series, new one finally released after ten years, filled with MUH DRUMPF and shitty gameplay), SMT, Final Fantasy, etc. At least Phantasy Star is OKAY even if it's not the same thing anymore at all.

Nice ass on her.

spoilery shit, and it's really cool but you'll understand when you get to it.

If you use "blue name" demons, you move towards Law, if you use "red name" demons, you move towards Chaos. At the end of every battle you get points based on what demons you used. So say you have three chaos demons you get three chaos points, and same with law.

Neutral demons don't give out points I think.

...

Gonna echo the only reasonable answer here

Because booty-shot Persona-like characters are more marketable than DemonDoomGuy.
Anyone have that pic comparing old Atlus with new Atlus?

I just noticed that Jimenez just looks like Junpei from persona 3 now.

Also note that Jimenez's hair actually has detail while in the new drawing it's textured like a fucking watermelon.

This reminds me of how Square Enix took a gigantic shit over the Final Fantasy games when they got mobile versions.

it's extra funny because this was right after the FF4 remake on PSP which was fantastic.

Jimenez rocking that Dreamworks face.

Okay, fuck it. I dont know what I was thinking. Looking at it again i see that it is a fucking huge downgrade from before.

But i will still play the game free because of my cfw
I hope that it doesn't leave a sour taste in my mouth like smt4a

Fuck waiting for an edit, not waiting for one

They turned him into a nigger with bad hair instead of someone with just dark skin.

...

Every character does it in Persona 5 as well to the point it just looks really amateurish.

Amon?

Why did they have to redraw the characters? Couldn't they just reuse the old portraits?

I hope there's an easy mode.

Contract shit with kaneko or some shit probably

Last two portraits are Sting games.

...

That's me

...

that nigger was always a smug jackass

Then why not put the scar somewhere she can see without a mirror?

...

...

They aren't remakes you fucking faggots, enhanced ports are not remakes, REmake is a fucking remake.

Yeah he was the one who made all the ideas they use for 4A

Dude it's just an enhanced edition, it's not a remake. My thoughts? All the changes look like shit, but I know contracts for this shit are a pain in the ass.

It's almost like it's Japanese or something

They replaced Kaneko's unique art with generic Persona tier shit.

Published by Atlus.

...

Its stated in the artbook that Kaneko pushes for change in the artwork, he was the one who gave the ok for guest artist in IV and approves everything modern Atlus has done. Kaneko is the cancer killing Atlus funny enough

It's almost like you're a retard or something.

And Kaneko drew things like 80's anime. It turns out that anime actually looks incredibly different across different time periods.

I understand not liking an artstyle change, but it's still fairly retarded to say "oh shit they're gonna Persona this up" since these are still going to be the same characters and situations that are were in the original.

You give the purist SMTfags exactly what they've been wanting for years now and they still bitch and moan over a JRPG having a modern anime artstyle of all things. It isn't the 90s anymore, grandpa.

I don't think it's wrong to wish that it was.

You still get to play as the no name soldier right? I don't want to play as the new waifu bait.

New waifu bait apparently attacks you for some unknown reason.

Do you think we would be able to draw our map or do I need to step on every poison tile?
Are they going to force the press turn system into this? because as much as I disliked the demon co-op system the game was balanced around it.
How does one handle the punctuation of complex interrogative sentences such as "Is that necessary because [declarative clause]?"
Is Antony going to get laid? He will not.

We need our heroes back.

Kaneko has no ill will. At worst, he has been naive.

I'd say this is bait but sadly some faggots are that stupid.

Think like a military man and you'll be fine.
Remember, Mankind in the first place, Duty in second so you don't go law by mistake.

Sorry that an anonymous poster in a north korean state propaganda morning cartoon board has to be the person to break this to you user, but your brother might be a dumbass.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

anybody who doesn't like this remake is a nerd

The combat in this game got so tedious I started running away from everything, they're idiots to remake it (unless it's to prepare for a sequel.)

I don't want to see that ever again, please delete it from the internet.

Jesus christ, what the fuck did they do to Eruca and Rosch? All they had to do was keep the artstyle intact and add voices, how could they fuck this up?

With every passing day I hope more and more that Atlus dies a swift, peaceful death to preserve the dignity they once had

I play japanese games as well, but I don't let them get control over my life like you autists do.

There's a limit and you clearly surpassed it. Everything needs to be taken in the right dose, animu included.

What's wrong with not liking the new art style that is inferior to the original?

Sorry goon. >>>/somethingawful/

Has been anime as fuck over a decade now nigger.

I find it funny that Jimenez removing everyone's inhibitions is basically chaosfag flavor brainwashing.

No one said you goons had to like it, but you're embarrassing yourselves. Perhaps you'd fit in on >>>/neogaf/ where you came from.

Not liking a new art style is fine, I too think Kaneko >Doi.

Raging and calling a remake dead on arrival because of said art style is what's incredibly autistic and means that you belong more on Something Awful than here. I love Radiant Historia and Strange Journey because they're amazing goddamn games, and I have a pretty big problem with saying that the remakes won't be worth it just because the art is different.

If the remakes suck, it'll be because they changed mechanics or made it more casualized.

Fixed. Actually read the thread and take a look at who's sperging out the most.

...

It's not the artist thats doing wrong in this case faggots it's the art direction Atlus wants him to stick to him. This is his artstyle looked like last time he was given full creative freedom.

...

As bad as SMT x FE as a game was there's nothing wrong with that approach to character design.

Just that it's SMT5 and it will run on Unreal Engine 4. That's it. Still, fingers crossed.

OoE truly did have some fantastic art. And music. And gameplay. And everything.

Thats not drawn by Kaneko

Also, from the trailer it seems like Odin will have a prominent role, which is pretty cool. Daily Stormer Megami Tensei.

This fucking handheld is like 50 years old now and barely looked better than the original DS anyway

Exactly. The remake should come out on a real console, like the Nintendo Switch.

Rather not deal with Nintendo censorship

Nigger please, weebs are the ones defending it.

They eat up anything with brown and bloom, you eat up anything with an animu art style no matter the quality. Not much of a difference, faggot.

Shut up you faggot, get off your high horse.

Actually ignore everything I said. Fuck it. SMT4 made all the lore completely irrelevant. Fuck NU-Atlus.

Its Amon, they said so in the stream.

I'll still get it if they balance the demons across all the alignments, fix some of the busted mechanics and it had no DLC

I had to dig for these

Strange Journey is perfect, and requires no remake. I can't see any reason for this bullshit, other than the fact that Japan 'hated' SJ, whereas the west 'loved' it.

I imagine they're trying to fix this injustice by making a version that the west hates, so the nips can feel justified in liking it.

inb4 the Schwarzwelt is in shibuya now

Why not both?
Why can't there ever be waifubait giggling oppai bimbos with depth?

Oh fuck right the fuck off with that, because I'm afraid you're going to be right.

Could up the graphics like that Grimrock game.

I'd like the Persona games a lot more if you were able to fuck with the other characters and turn them into demons.

Japs are too casual nowadays so they probably want it to be more Persona-like.

The game could be text-only and it'd still be perfect.

Is there any way to use a R4 made for the DS on a 3ds?
I know there's that homebrew shit that allows you to play DS games on 3ds, but it's buggy as hell.

Hey, faggot; when did I complain about anime?

Strange Journey is a good game, but it's certainly not perfect. If it had magnetite, a proper overworld, a bigger party and more skill slots, it could have been perfect.
That said, I don't believe for a second this remake or enhanced port or whatever will make any such improvements. They're probably just going to dumb the whole game down to make a buck.
Also, you shouldn't believe everything you read about Japanese audiences.

Just dropping in to point out this user is a retarded, doi has nothing to do with ecclesia as a blind guy could see.

OoE was done by Masaki Hirooka, Google it.

Epic drole though bro.

Oh well, back to business as usual.
If it turns out to be decent I'll buy it, after I pirate it of course.

I wonder if they'll actually make Mem Alph remotely fair this time? I hate final bosses that are fucking coin flips. Hell, I considered the Demiurge to be more fair than Mem Alph because at least it didn't randomly suprise your ass with Disaster Cycle.

Fuck. I still remember that fondly. I never raged so hard in an SMT final boss fight in my life

Why remake the art just to make it shittier? What the actual fuck?

This remake will use the SMT IV engine and make it a SMT IV / SMT IV:A clone

STRANGE JOURNEY IS THE POOR MAN'S ETRIAN ODYSSEY

There I said it.

I'm still sad EO3U wasn't announced.

Wait what? Sonny of all things?

Why? the Untold games are shit

Does this mean Ishida himself will personally come and give me a rubdown if I buy his game? I have to admit that's pretty tempting.

...

1st Untold is ok but yeah no more Untold cancer (which is likely since EO2U sold like shit). I'd rather prefer an EOVI.

To put Doi's bullshit aside for just a moment, Kaneko's SFC style was indeed the best. He later developed this habit of making clothes too tight-fitting and clean.

I may be nitpicking, but imagine if the Demonica had appeared in SMT I or II. It would have been /k/ porn for sure.

Oh sick they're adding in Maria from 9. One of Kaneko's best designs, hands down.

It seems owlsnake's name is there. What does it translate to?

If his name is アモン, Amon.

DEEP♂STRANGE♂JOURNEY

Ogdoad confirmed.

Wait, no, I just realized something. Amon is also the name of a demon that "reconciles friendships".
Fuck. Calling it now: the extra story content will involve a "power of friendship route" that makes it so neither Zelenin nor Jimenez have to die.

Does this mean they'll be important? Probably the only good thing about this thing.
Why does Maria's design have a fucking Tyrannosaurus stuck on it?

No fuck you, don't jinx it you nigger, I don't want another bonds ending.

Because user. It's a dead animal. Like her.

dat's a rare merchant

Hard to say. They're listed under the "more than 350 pounds of demon ass" section so they might just be there because they are recognizable. The white box talks about some anniversary stuff and the text next to Amon is about, well, Amon from what I can tell. My nip isn't too good, but it mentions Salomon, seven archdemons/big demons and hints at a relationship with Alex, nothing about the other demons.

AWAKEN KANEKO

Magnetite is a shit fucking mechanic. It either becomes so abundant so as not to matter, or its so lacking as to force you to travel around without partners in a game series where enemies are always easily capable of full party wipes.

Getting rid of it entirely is one change I'm actually glad Atlus made to the formula. Plus, that means you're not forced to waste party slots on those shitstain human "friends" you get in each game, since the developers don't have to balance any parts of the game around not having the resources to summon or maintain demons.

Nicely done

It could have been balanced better. Same can be said for many things in the series. Removing it entirely is stupid and lazy. SMT's themes are survival and sacrifice. The mechanic belonged.

Will we get QR codes instead of passwords? Or will they implement a trade system?

Back to tumblr, retard.
