If it’s more like a SMT IV Apocalypse, I’m down to get it
Shin Megami Tensei V returns… with a vengeance! Venture back into a post-apocalyptic Tokyo with an all-new storyline featuring new locations, demons, and choices to make in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
If that’s all it is, yeah, I’m not bothering. Too many other games to play for me to replay a game I found alrightIt's definitely not that.
At worst, it's SMT V "Maniax", at best it's SMT V "Royal/Golden".
so....what's new?
Almost certainly not! Fork over that cash.Can I upgrade from the original version? I haven’t really played it.
I guess I’m gonna have to make do with vanillaAlmost certainly not! Fork over that cash.
Physical and digital pre-orders for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC will begin on 2/27. Physical pre-orders for Nintendo Switch will also start on 2/27. Details on digital pre-orders for Nintendo Switch will be announced at a later date.
This is what I'm hoping for too. Fingers crossed.Interesting tidbit on the trailer description:
I wonder if that means we might actually be able to buy it as an upgrade.
Glad it’s still coming to Switch. Definitely doesn’t explain why Reload isn’t on there. Also wish I could mute any performance complaints about the Switch version because god, those people are annoying.
I hope they change this too. I played on hard and mostly tried to keep my levels balanced to keep the challenge level up but man there was an enormous difference between being underleveled, the same level or above the level of certain bosses. You could really feel that scaling kick in.The Good: a seeming bigger focus on Chaos and Neutral. In the base game both of those have painfully underwritten representatives, so more of that is good.
The Neutral: A lot of two-tone black and white in the demons this time. Similarly, a lot more humanoid demons were shown too; makes me wonder if we're gonna get more Nahobino fusion bosses.
The bad: No seeming overhauls to exploration were shown. SMT5s overworld loop is the main thing that needs rehauling, the combat is mostly fine.
The ???: I really wonder how that party member setup is going to work. SMT4s was notorious for being kinda goofy at times while 1/2 effectively just made them predefined demons. The new Nahobino skills look okay, still too early to see how they'll work. I also wonder if they'll redo the level rubberbanding of V, that game had some insane anti-"being low level" scaling.

One part of the reason why it's so omnipresent is that Atlus iirc downclocked base SMTV after the review embargo dropped.The crying over the performance of this game is downright annoying. The multiplatform release announcement has so much gleeful vitriol, that this alone makes me wish the game would've never come to other platforms.
Yeah, I'm not buying this on Switch unless there is an upgrade option. I'll probably get it for Steam Deck.
I hope so! I hope the upgrade is for both physical and digital owners.There might be one.
Physical preorders on all platforms start ... tomorrow or on the 27th ... i forgot.
Digital preorders start the same day, but only Steam, PS and Xbox.
Switch digital preorders "will be detailed at a later date".
That's pretty hinting for a digital upgrade, i'd say.
For those type of DLCs, if past SMT DLCs are of any indication, roughly how many hours can we expect?
I've played SMTV to near completion - am in endgame or approaching endgame content, curious if DLC is going to be worth it

I'M HYPE
Also, from what I've heard you get a choice on whether you want to do the base SMTV story or the new content from the beginning. If that is true then I'd imagine it would be easier to implement this as an expansion for the base game.There might be one.

Catherine is already on the Switch.Since now that Atlus is totally multi, I am just waiting for them to launch Catherine at my local eShop.
