Their need to phase out everything SMT has been apparent with every single move they have been making in the megaten franchise. I'm not getting my hopes up.
Shin Megami Tensei
No, it's dead and has been dead since Nocturne.
Strange Journey was the last good one.
Combat system sucked balls and SJ is more EO than it is SMT.
Nigger what? It had more in common classic SMT than Nocturne did, not that Nocturne was a bad game.
It had extremely little in common with classic SMT, besides fusion. The only previous games it had much in common with were MT1 and SMT:IF, both also being straight dungeon crawls, like EO1-3, whose engine the game was made on.
Nocturne was even further from SMT 1&2 than Strange Journey was.
They found a way to fuck up Strange Journey by fucking up the artstyle and putting a SUPER SPECHUL GIRL OC that just looks like a Persona (the tumor that ate the franchise) character for fuck's sake.
NO KANEKO NO BUY
They're going have her lead to a happy ending where the Schwarzvelt solves enviornmentalism or something.
Yeah, and? The point isn't that being like classic megaten makes it good or not, the point is that SJ is only superficially classic styled. Same with 4/4A.
user please.
