I'm a massive SMT fan. I've watched trailers for this and it doesn't nothing for me. I'm pretty bitter/jaded/cynical towards gaming and haven't liked the direction Atlus has taken SMT and Persona. It's hard for me to want to give it a chance and I might skip it. The thing I love about SMT is its horror storytelling. The trailer for SMTV looked far too anime/mainstream for my tastes. It didn't seem horror at all. Is SMTV even a dungeon crawler? I haven't followed this game at all and I'm highly skeptical.
Watching the trailers for SMTV the tone is strikingly different than the Megaten I grew up loving. It's just time to accept that old Atlus is dead. It's hard for me to swallow but it's true.

You saw the trailers right, there are dungeons, we saw them in trailers.
I'm opposite of you, I'm also huge fan of SMT and I'm loving everything I'm seeing so far.

Guys, you know that lots of battle themes have leaked today? Search for "Neos Antrax SMT" on Youtube if you want a peak.
They sound great, but maybe not as great as SMT IV's battle themes. But hey, maybe thw new ones end up growing up on us and being seen as better, who knows.

I'm typically more partial to the ambiance/area tunes myself. That's what I'm hyped about. Will check them out though, thanks!

I’m about half way done with Nocturne. Hoping to beat it soon and transition right into V.

Is this game a direct sequel to Nocturne? I haven't played any of these before and was thinking of hopping in with V, or will I be totally lost?

No it not. Just like FF and Tales, each game has its own contain story. Only SMTII was sequel to original SMT and SMTIV Apocalypse took place during and after Neutral route in original SMTIV.

Just because it has dungeons doesn't mean it's a dungeon crawler. Old SMT puts dungeons design first.You saw the trailers right, there are dungeons, we saw them in trailers.

I don’t know what to tell you, if you are “bitter/jaded/cynical towards gaming” then nothing will make you happy no matter what so you better off just skipping this game.
I other hand loving everything I have seen so far and I’m gonna enjoy the crap out of it once it comes out.

That's reasonable. I wouldn't say "nothing will make me happy". I'm just skeptical after Persona 5, which I thought was really bad. My concern is that Atlus will try to cater to the Persona fanbase rather than the traditional SMT fanbase. I think it's a pretty valid concern.

Go to polygon’s preview of this game, the person previewing this game is criticizing it because it’s not like Persona 5.
trust me this game is nothing like Persona, it’s design much more closer to Nocturne, the devs said this themselves.

SMT Nocturne was my first SMT game. I got into the series this year. Im loving what im seeing, and have this preordered.
Lots of variety in the demons.

Did they really say that in the preview and are we going to get a new version of this old meme:
At least Polygon doesn’t give scores so they won’t impact the MC score.

Focus on battles? In a dungeon crawler inspired JRPG? Holy shit how's that possible?
Btw, I think we'll have the first reviews by tomorrow.

Just like Apocalypse Hama and Mudo magic does do proper damage, so it might worth it going magic build but I haven't decided yet.
All rounder is never good idea, you do more damage if focus on either magic build or physical build.

Physical skills cost mp, so I might go magic build.
MudoSkills
Volcano High Alumnus (Cum Laude)
Coming off the back of Nocturne I might go Phys/Agility.

In Nocturne physical attacks were crazy effective and on top of that from few exception there were not that many bosses who had resistance to physical attacks.
MudoSkills
Volcano High Alumnus (Cum Laude)
I also pretty much broke IV by having a demon skill morph into Megido really early and slapping that right on Flynn. I did a magic build on Nanashi in Apocalypse too, time to mix it up.

I don't know why you thought SMTV would go Persona route, none of SMT games including IV were nothing like Persona.
If anything SMTV is combination of Nocturne and SMTIV.

Holy shit, that's scary. Reminds me of the chimera in Dragon's Dogma, good times.

Man I saw some reviews dropping and got confused thinking this was releasing tomorrow, but alas I mixed the week up. I'm gonna go have a sulk now. Looks great.
One thing I really appreciate the Big N for is having the occasional big rpg to finish off the year, like with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in 2017.

That’s fine, but I never saw anything from SMTV that would suggest it would take Persona route.
