And now this will become a pokemon level issue, where people will start freaking out and saying the game sucks because a demon isn't to scale, despite the fact that it literally doesn't matter.
@Snaplocket Seth literally towers over a good chunk of demons in terms of sheer size. They wouldn't be able to make him presentable in battles without shrinking him if anything, especially given how the UI is presented during that portion of the game

Did you see the leak from NVidia? SMT V is going to Steam Baby! Makes sense because this game was developed for some years and watch sell only 1 million units on Switch. Atlus/SEGA is hungry for that Macca boys. We will get Steam version now.
Now Atlus, fetch me some Vanillaware games too!

the NVIDIA leak was disconfirmed by NVIDIA themselves. The datamining effort was legit but the titles listed were basically completely speculatory and not actually representative of games in development according to them.
Some of the games there like God of War were only used for testing purposes and weren't actually confirmed for PC.
Of course, they said that. This is some PR Emergency 101: denying everything until death. SMT V will get a Bravely Default II treatment, that is the undeniable truth.
edit: Ralizah... We will see it which timeline will the MC of the world would choose: a future with Nahobino enslaved by the chains of Nintendo Switch exclusivity or a glorious Nahobino spreading the word of Human Salvation on "Gabeboy" (aka Steam Deck).
SMT V isn't going to Steam, lol. Atlus is serious about exclusivity of its games. And if Sega was going to push them to make something multiplat, it'd be the multi-million selling Persona 5, not the more obscure, hardcore series that spawned it in the first place.
@Alex90 Yeah, no. Atlus usually never releases newer games on Steam. SMT is a nintendo exclusive. They'll probably put it on steam years down the line, like they did with 4, but that's about all I see them doing.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
@VoidofLight Yeah, I could see a remaster of it going to Steam. But, for the purposes of playing it in the 2020s, it's going to require Nintendo hardware. Or emulated Nintendo hardware, I guess, considering how often I see people talking about emulating all manner of Switch games on their PC.
@Alex90 Considering Atlus has flat out not only completely unaltered its decision to keep it Switch exclusive but even doubled down on it by having Kazuyuki Yamai defend it in interviews, stating that Switch was really the only platform they considered the game for, I wouldn't get your hopes up. If it comes to PC it won't be for years if Persona 4 Golden or Catherine was any indication
Plus if they haven't even brought the considerably more successful MegaTen game with a 5 in its name to platforms that aren't PlayStation, ain't no way they're going to start with the considerably less popular, more hardcore branch of the franchise even if it is a mainline game
I get it. The odds are against me. B-b-bu-but I am a man of faith. Miracles happen, guys and gals!
I am so spoiled that I don't need to wait more than December to get Bravely Default II on Steam because already launched with Steam Play compatibility in mind. No need for tinker Winetricks or custom Proton. It just works like any game on Windows.
(I)Atlus-Senpai already noticed the potential clients they have on PC. (II)You all seem to forget that in December, Steam will be more than just a PC gaming platform with Steam Deck. Trust me, It won't be a total failure like the abominable Steam Machines. (I) and (II) will collide and make SMT V on Steam a reality. If not SMT V, then other future MegaTen games. Doesn't matter anymore, I already win!

I fully expect Atlus to continue branching out with future games. Hell, I'm halfway expecting Persona 6 to go to Steam. A Persona 3 remake going to PS4 and PC day one wouldn't surprise me, either.
@Ralizah Yeah I think it's safe to say Persona 6 will probably get a PC version if not immediately or simultaneously with PS4/PS5 or even if it's just a PS5 game, then definitely like 2 or 3 years down the line
SMT is still very clearly tied down to Nintendo systems. Nocturne getting a release on PS4 was probably them trying to capture the audience that played Nocturne back in the day on PS2 or even the Persona crowd that wants to get into SMT, but Nintendo platforms have hosted the series pretty much exclusively since Strange Journey and that stance within the company hasn't changed at all, which is why I'm not expecting it to change anytime soon either

@TheFrenchiestFry Releasing Persona 6 on PS5 only would be incredibly uncharacteristic for Atlus, considering they pretty much always design the games to run on last gen tech.
IMO, SMT VI will probably release on PC as well, but it'll probably be a good 7+ years away at minimum. Mainline games in this series take a while to release.
