interesting

@CactusMan If you are a Christian, please stop using the name "Lucifer" because this name doesn't appear in the Bible. It was a shameless error from King James' first version that invents this name. They took the Latin Vulgate scroll from the book of Isaiah, did not read the context speaking of the King of Babylon, and stupidly thought that an adjective directed at him (the King) referred to the name of Satan. And since then, equally stupid people have propagated this misconception that Lucifer is the name of Satan.
PS.: Lucifer doesn't appear in any decent modern translation of the Bible now.

SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 11TH. ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED BY JP WEBSITE BEFORE BEING TAKEN DOWN ALONGSIDE A BUNCH OF STORY DETAILS

THAT BASICALLY SETTLES THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THE GAME WILL BE AT THE E3 DIRECT.

@TheFrenchiestFry Thanks for the link Joker! 😂

Seriously though, that is wonderful news! 😎

@TheFrenchiestFry Nice. November is perfect for a high profile JRPG exclusive like this.

Really hope we get whatever that special edition is. Still sore the Nocturne one never came out in America.

Speaking of Nocturne, it definitely sounds like it inspired certain aspects of this game. I can't wait to see a more comprehensive trailer!

I was trying to temper my expectations and not hope for a 2021 release or an E3 reveal. But this is so legit it will be a crushing disappointment now if both don’t happen.

It would have been a nice reveal at E3 so it’s a shame if it leaked accidentally.

@JoeDiddley That's been a trend with Atlus stuff as of late

I'm pretty sure the exact same thing happened with both P5S and SMT 3 HD

@TheFrenchiestFry to the point that I was wondering if it’s deliberate?

The opposite strategy to their love of announcing and announcement in a way!

@JoeDiddley I'd like to imagine some disgruntled employee saw all the memes online about how radiosilent Atlus were after dropping trailers sporadically for years and just decided to silently set the record straight with people

i am really not trying to be that guy, but i cant say im too thrilled it sounds exactly like nocturne. i love nocturne, but reading this makes it sound like its just the law equivalent of that. of course i'll obviously wait until i see gameplay to form a real opinion

@Slowdive Title Loop 2, Fierce Battle, Normal Battle (Town), the Raidou/Dante fight theme, the Boss theme and the Amala Network fight theme are some of the best RPG tracks I've ever heard

I am midway through what I believe is the final dungeon so should not be far from the end altough I skipped the optional dungeon (maybe will come back at a later date on ng+ for true ending

@CactusMan I am not so positive but I will wait for the end to have my final say

Heard a bit about that one, @Slowdive.... They put up a Steam store page for it now, too, so added to wishlist

I'll check that out, then, @Slowdive .... Pretty much sold on it already, TBH

This game definitely gives me vibes of SMT If and the first Persona game, particularly the soundtrack

Finished Nocturne ..... It was great! Definitely more hyped for SMT V now

@BruceCM Which ending did you get?
