Yeah his design does just look inherently more sinister than the other main angels though. (outside of the memory-holed SMT4 designs)

Going to miss Nahobino's long flowing locks when he gets a haircut / dye job in this one.
I think both the old and new Nahobino designs' costumes are a little too busy but the hair always looked good in motion.
A little disappointed to hear that the new route only features one (1) new city area, though hardly surprising given past Atlus re-releases and at least it looks like the areas from base V are being expanded and tweaked.

Also, just some trivia:
The other new demon featured besides Nahobeeho, Amabie, is a youkai associated with warning about disease, that became popular in Japan during the height of the coronavirus. It was pretty common to see more conventional anime style cute depictions of her as stuff like little statues as good luck charms or as the mascot of informational campaigns promoting hygiene things like masks and social distancing and so on.

So not a huge surprise to see prominently featured in an SMT game developed during corona, also Doi released the design a few years ago way before SMTVV was announced.

Would love to hear one day the inside story of what happened to all the Atlus old guard like Kaneko, Koji Okada and Tadashi Satomi* and why they left the company. When it comes to both SMT and Persona, the new games are pretty good but they are missing a certain something that the old games had.

* = obviously he left to focus full-time on his career as a pharmacy tycoon

Isn't Kaneko just pumping out NFTs? Or am I thinking of the wrong guy?

He did some illustrations for an NFT project a couple months ago, and he's probably going to be doing more now that he's officially working with COLOPL

He's done a few things since, like launching the Caligula Effect series, which I happen to like quite a bit despite its rough edges.

the new Lilith design has five fingers

my powers of observation tell me that Kaneko's work is no longer that respected by the organization anymore

I'm conflicted now knowing it's ARPG and I'm pretty terrible at games already :shobon:

It's not, it's just a game with a more fleshed out field attack system.

Yeah it's bizarre how they make it seem like an ARPG at first with you dashing and attacking enemies.

I think they allow you to do the ARPG for as long as you like, getting hits in and dodging, before then initiating the TRPG battles.

NANI?

They've stolen the combat system from the most recent Trails games I guess, just lets you mash down wandering mobs easily in realtime and switch to turn based for anything that needs it.

I would honestly prefer if it were just straight up action RPG lol

I like that attack where you just ride a horse drawn cart into the enemy.
