    I really appreciate the patient mindset. I have been trying to follow this mindset recently and it has allowed me just to find games to try out and just enjoy it. None of the franchises I am very invested in have new releases have coming up but instead of waiting for a new title for them I have just been trying out other series and enjoying them. SMT V in itself will be a new experience for me but instead of thinking oh I can't wait to play it and counting the days down, I have been playing other games and enjoying the daily demon showcases and when the game comes out I will play it when I have time and then gauge how much I enjoy it.

    At the end of the day Atlus probably announced SMT V too early (kinda like with SMT x FE), but Nintendo needed people to announce games for the Switch because they needed the audience to see that it wasn't going to be another Wii U failure. I think the main reason I was annoyed with the lack of news was because when they previously talked about P5 before launch, they still had updates and trailers for it, even with the delay. SMT V literally had nothing for years, except "EVERYTHING IS FINE!" which does not instill confidence. People have the tendency to suspect the worst when news like that comes out. At the end of the day, I feel like there probably were some behind the scenes difficulties with them working on an engine they never had worked with before. Especially when you hear the difficulties of the DQ team on working with UE in DQ XI S for the Switch version, but we will probably not know for a long time, if ever.
    I also think that Bayonetta 3 kinda suffered from that as well. I mean MP4 had to have their whole dev team replaced. I also, think that Nintendo then realized that it wasn't worth talking about the games again until they were much closer to release, since that is what people seem to prefer anyway. I feel like where these 3 game differ from Cyberpunk 2077 is that they are niche franchises, and they don't have massive followings, like with CDPR and Cyberpunk. So the lack of news have them fear the worst BECAUSE they are niche and it doesn't guarantee that they will even come out. When it comes to criticizing passionate people, it is worth trying to understand where they are coming from instead of calling them shitty, unless they are directing sending shit to the devs themselves.

      And Cyperpunk had an negative and positive, how companies choice to reveal their games, after Cyberpunk fiasco. For example, the lack of news, about FFXVI or any teaser of FF7R part 2, since Square likes to announce things to soon. And they want to avoid an Cyberpunk 2077, type of situation. But like always, V would be divise and wouldn't please everyone, that's how fandoms work.

    • @jamesfzy
      @jamesfzy 2 года назад +3

      I agree with you but at the same time, had SMT V not be announced early, I don't think the community will take it lightly either. Mind you, SMT V has not been released yet but during that interim, we had a ton of Persona games, merch, concerts etc. SMT V has been rumored/anticipated for a long time even without the 2017 reveal and ultimately I think the SMT vs Persona debate has their points as much as it is insufferable. On one hand, we have the very capable P-Studio and the other whatever main Atlus team doing SMT which quite frankly hasn't been particularly all that great. We will continue to have this stupid debate even after the games release regardless of how the game performs. If you want my honest opinion, even I'm a bit miffed that SMT gets consistently shafted but I long since concede that Persona is the more marketable game. I just don't go comparing the two as though they're mortal enemies.
      Regarding Bayo 3 and MP4, I do think that SMT vs Persona perspective makes these games different. Both Bayonetta and Metroid fans are just happy that these franchises are still alive and at the moment, people know they are in capable hands with Platinum and Retro plus Nintendo's supervision too. SMT and SMT V specifically has the shadow of Persona hanging over it and I don't think any fan will want to say or hear they are glad SMT (excluding Persona) is not dead as a franchise while Persona is swimming in cash. Its pathetic to compare but I can understand why people feel that way.

    So...as a noob to SMT/Persona...it took the splash of P5 to get me and perhaps a good chunk of us in the West invested or interested in exploring the rest of the SMT/Persona series. I have gone back and looked into the catalogue of games and I purchased SMT 3 Noc and all the Persona games except the OG Persona. I preordered SMT V and looking forward to playing it. It's one of the those things now as a gamer I say "ok...keeping an eye out for Atlus releases". There's always going to be a sense of anticipation for certain games and to your point yes...there's tons to play out there. Gamers always have a backlog.

    I was in high school when SMT 5 was first teased; now I'm in college and since played through and completed P4Golden, P3FES, P1, Innocent Sin, Vanilla P5, Original SMT Nocturne, and SMT 4 within those 4 years.

    About this point, I think the only game where the release actually impacted my overall happiness, and not just a game that came out and went, is Rune Factory 4 Special.
    Context, Rune Factory is my favorite gaming franchise, period. I love it so much, was a major part of my childhood too. But after Rune Factory 4 came on 3ds, we had nothing for so, so long, only for Rune Factory 4 Special to be announced, but also Rune Factory 5.
    On top of that, RF4S ended up releasing in Feb 2020 in NA, right before the pandemic. As a result, it honestly helped me keep my cool in a super stressful time, and also gave me renewed hope, knowing that not only is Rune Factory back, but we even got a 5th entry on the way.
    Since Feb 2020, I have played Rune Factory 4 Special, Rune Factory 3, Rune Factory Tides of Destiny, and am not playing Rune Factory 4 Special a second time.
    The release of Rune Factory 4 Special, and the renewed interest and hope in my childhood gaming franchise, has honestly improved my overall happiness dramatically the past couple years.

    @pandhuvandhita6192 2 года назад

    Here's my take on the situation. Back in 2017, they are probably at the state of 'interested' in making SMT V, thus the first ever untitled trailer that we got is actually just to test the water on the audience, see if we are as interested in playing the game as much they are interested in making it.
    This is a pretty common practice in game development, especially in mobile games (have you seen those weird trailers of mobile games in instagram? that kind of thing). Developing a game requires a huge investment, they need to know if this game would sell before spending too much resources into its development.
    I also think that probably, at the time, only some premise of the story are made and rough fundamentals of the game design are still being discussed within the team. As for arts and assets (the demons), I would guess that those are the ones made for persona 5, which is pretty convenient. So, in 2017, the progress of development is probably around 5%-10% and even those small progress are still subject to change.

    Funny enough. The wait for a main numbered Shin Megami Tensei game has been the thing. Given how incredibly long it was between SMT3 and SMT4, and the silence inbetween. Yes, there was Strange journey, but it was decided it wasn’t a numbered follow up. Same with SMT2 to SMT3 which was 9 years.
    So when the SMTV wait happened I was like “Here we go again.” I kind of fell into the feeling that it just takes years and years between SMT mainline releases, so one would think they put a lot of thought and work into them. A numbered SMT release for the SMT fan is like a whole event.
    Still, I feel the sheer knowledge of how long it takes for a mainline SMT to arrive made the wait actually easier because I was expecting it.

    I understand your point about avoiding hype but I think there are some clear exceptions. I think alot about people like
    Stryder7x who has such a deep unbreakable bond with Paper Mario, and MarphitimusBlackimus who's that way with Half-Life, and it makes me sure there's some people out there that really do have Soul Mate Games they can just never get tired of. And I feel SMT actually lends itself to that extremely well with the fusion system letting you spice it up however you can imagine it

    SMT V is gonna be my first SMT game and I'm hyped. I got into Persona in 2014 with Golden so that's like a year after it came out for us in Europe. I never owned a 3ds or any Nintendo console before the Switchso I couldn't play the other SMT games but this one I'm very excited for.

  • @NintendanGX
    @NintendanGX 2 года назад

    I think the main issue is the October 2017 trailer. They revealed the game way too early in development, and when working on a proper high-quality JRPG like this, of course it would have taken more than 3 years for it to be released from when they started development.
    I did feel a bit worried during the era of silence, like Atlus had given up on SMT in favour of Persona (mainly in late 2019), but only briefly. I kept remembering that they revealed the thing as soon as they started developing it, so they basically backed themselves into a corner they couldn't escape from. Of course they can't show anything else, because they're smack-bam in the middle of making it. Yet the climate outside its development would stir people in all sorts of ways.
    One thing that could've made the wait a bit more bearable for SMT fans is if Atlus would just make a statement to reassure fans, like "We can't show anything just yet, but rest assured, development has been progressing smoothly, and we're pleased to see so much enthusiasm for SMT V. Please stay tuned for future updates." Basically what Nintendo did with the BOTW sequel and Metroid Prime 4 this year. Maybe have a smaller Megaten project in development to tide fans over in the meantime (that isn't a mobile exclusive), but even without that, at least we'd know that there wasn't anything to worry about.
    Now I didn't bank my entire being on this one game. SMT is one of my favourite series for sure, but all I really wanted was mild assurance. I still had plenty of great games to enjoy between its reveal and launch, like...
    Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda BOTW, Gravity Rush 2, Devil May Cry 5, Nioh 1 and 2, the Spirit Hunter series, The Silver Case series, the Yakuza series, Sekiro, Kirby: Star Allies, Fire Emblem Echoes and Three Houses, Daemon X Machina, Luigi's Mansion 3, Assault Spy, DOOM Eternal, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (favourite game ever), Phantasy Star Online 2, Bug Fables, Hades, Dreams, Part-Time UFO, Crash Bandicoot 4, Gnosia, Famicom Detective Club, both The World Ends with You games, Travis Strikes Again and No More Heroes III, WarioWare: Get it Together, Metroid Dread, and Super Sami Roll.
    And that's not even getting into the older series I discovered and fell in love with, like Sengoku BASARA, Another Code, the Kyle Hyde saga, Chibi-robo, Nights, Maken X (made by SMT developers), the Earthbound/Mother games, Pursuit Force, and countless visual novels.
    I've had plenty of great games to occupy me during this wait. It's just nice that we're at a point where we know, for sure, we'll have this game in our hands tomorrow as of typing this.

    You've pretty much summed all the stuff i've been feeling for a few years now perfectly. I still see this problem of looking at games as perfect angels and then "objectively" looking at them 5 seconds later on twitter and the constant amount of people going uh actually this game wont come out here because it's apparently the 90s and not the current era. It's weird that game development gets looked at like it's magical, like you just turned the router on and off and your parents think you're a tech genius type deal. This was actually one of the things that kind of got to me and beyond not looking at trailers for the game beyond the first one and the dub trailer i made myself not hyped for the game just because i didn't want it associated with some bozo in the back of my head come release day. But i am glad that i've gotten down the yo there's so much else to do part down because in between now and then i've experienced so much more stuff that i'm so glad i was able to. My only regret is that a dear friend of mine passed earlier this year and this was one of the titles he was waiting for. So this is for him and for me.

    I got into SMT in 2015 with DeSu and P4 and while I am and have been hyped for SMTV (I even looked into “Shekinah glory” and the other terms in the trailers), I had the 3ds games and P3 and P5 to play so I was sitting pretty.
    TBH I am a bit worried about the potentially teased high school aspect and it being a bit too Persona.
    I mean even if it’s a big part of the game loop as long as it’s less SMT4A/Persona and more nocturne where I have to choose a reason and possibly kill some of the opposing factions I’ll be happy.

    Look we've all wanted SMT V but let's be real the gap from Metroid Fusion to Metroid Dread was insane. Almost 20 full years between the two. Thankfully they nailed the return with Dread, but yeah, an entire generation was born and became adults during that time lol
    As for the timeline of SMT V, I don't think Atlus wanted to announce SMT V yet, but Nintendo basically begged them to help build hype for the Switch. It's easy to forget just how much was banking on the Switch taking off. So it's really a case of a game simply being announced wayyy too early. Using Dread again, Nintendo and Mercury Stream made the game and announced it a few months before release.

  • @dynamiczero
    @dynamiczero 2 года назад

    It is also surprising how few games Atlus has published since the 3DS became obsolete. Like, you look at the "games" section on their website and the game that came out before P5R was Persona Q2, and that feels like an eternity ago. Maybe they still haven't become used to developing for Switch at the rate they did for 3DS?

    • @yoso378
      @yoso378 2 года назад

    I agree with you, with the all overhype and "this is gonna be poop" culture, before the release of any new piece of media. Is better to have, lower expectations, and end up being pleasantly surprise, that media was actually good, than to overhype, only to get distressed and unhappy about it. What you said about V, applies to gen 4 Pokémon remakes, the fandom, gets pissed at me, when I say, lower expectations about BDSP, don't assume, megas, PT post game episode, all the mons being there, if the game has those things, neat 😎, but is better assume, they aren't in the game. But a pleasant surprise, about the last direct, before V and BDSP release, was The Isle Dragon Roars, another Yoko Taro/Square game, I don't see alot of people talking or "hyping" it in YT, it seems to be, one of those hidden gems. That people will praise, only after alot years, after it's release. Like the Blade Runner movies.
