      I emulated this shit for a solid 10 hours to get a feel of the gameplay and I dropped it somewhere around the third area (the ruined city with a chimera running around under a bridge) because I knew fatlus would release this on steam
      it being a definitive edition just makes it that much sweeter but the story is dog shit so I'll probably snag the game next christmas sale tbqh kek

    I intentionally went out of my way to play the most basic version of Nocturne, the version without the Fiends, Labyrinth of Amala, Lucifer battle, Dante, or Raidou because I wanted to understand just how good the base game is, so I can't really complain. Still haven't played the later versions, but I feel like everyone who sucks Nocturne's dick never played the first.

      There isnt a single SMT/Persona game where the enhanced version is clearly better than the original version. They always add decent QoL stuff and some good content, but all of them often frick up the pacing by stuffing the game with unneccesary filler. Nocturne is a good example, the original version is definitely the more cohesive experience, doesnt overstay its welcome at all.

        Worst part about Nocturne is the fact that TDE sort of kills any nuance to the endings of the game with a clear 'true ending'. At least with remakes like SJR there's still the 3 'true ending's to choose between

          It also doesnt fit the tone established in the game. It is hype but again the original is superior, all of its ending have an ominous, surreal quality to them, nothing being resolved fits the setting perfectly. Doing the Amala labyrinth and killing the fiends doesnt justify the 180 of the where the story is going.

          Being the guy who played the base version, there is a very obvious true ending, the Freedom ending. Musubi, Yosuga, and Shijima are all slightly different flavors of one ending. The "Demon" ending or whatever it's meant to be called is the token bad ending that ends the game pre-true final boss, much like IV's black hole ending, Apocalypse's Law and Chaos endings, and V's Humanity (aka Neutral) ending.

          Nocturne is a game where the main theme is Chaos, a direct opposite to II where the main theme is Law. The three standard Reasons are your Law endings, even if they try to masquerade as versions of Law (Shijima), Neutral (Musubi), and Chaos (Yosuga). All three endings are achieved by bowing down to the rules of the universe, playing the game, being a pawn to another's Reason, and following the course of Conception as Kagutsuchi sees fit.

          But Freedom is different. The Demi-fiend's final race is King of Chaos. Freedom is the merit of Chaos, the very thing that validates its existence. Yuko lacks the resolve to form her own Reason, Demi-fiend is the one to solidify it. The Demi-fiend, who is rejected by the world as a being capable of enforcing a Reason, who Kagutsuchi itself angrily rejects when you fight it with it in your heart. You return your world to how you want it, now an enemy of the universe, but with Lucifer pledging to become your ally. The ending is so different to the others, so emblematic of your choice of Chaos, so upbeat even, that it's easily the definitive ending. You even have to fight all three avatars, much like how Neutral in I and IV require you to fight all the endgame bosses.

        The original version of Nocturne released in Japan on the PS2 with the dark blue box art. The updated version released a year later with white box art and was called Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Maniacs. This is the version that got localized, though it dropped the III and the Maniacs from the title. The localized version has the red box art and the infamous "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series!" watermark.

        About 4 years later in Japan, they released a special edition of the second Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou game on the PS2 with an updated version of Nocturne that replaced all the Dante stuff with Raidou. This version was called Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Maniacs Chronicle Edition. This was also the version that was the basis for the HD Remaster, and the first time all the Raidou story content was officially translated into English, while the Dante content became a paid DLC alternate story route. However, because South Korea was really sensitive about Raidou's school uniform reflecting imperial Japan, that wasn't the version they could release there as the standard. So through Steam only, the version they released was an HD Remaster of the original Japanese PS2 version translated, with the Raidou Maniacs content being free optional DLC to bring it up to parity with the console versions and Dante continuing to be paid DLC. But I don't think it's EXACTLY the same as the original in terms of content. Early events don't have Demi-fiend's original base version hoodie with different stats.

      Afraid? That is what I am hoping for. The story is like 1-2 hours out of 80 hours of the game.I am assuming the story will need to change on both sides to accommodate a new dungeon and da'at. If I wanted a MegaTen that is more story than gameplay, I would play Persona.

        Do you think there will enough new content to spread over another 80hr campaign though? I don't mind the lack of story, but I'd expect a lot of new demons and bosses and maps, but I think we'll see a lot of recycled stuff. I thinking rather a shorter new story.

            Day 1 DLC consist on two demons, with a sidequest each to recruit them. If it's anything like the day 1 DLC of the original game, the sidequest it's probably just "Find the demon, fight the demon" and that would be about it. Still, the base game put more effort on the Demified DLC, which is still just a series of bosses, but still more of a full sideques none the less. So maybe this two will have more going than Cleopatra, Mephisto and Artemis in the base game. I don't expect much, tho.

                I honestly was willing to double dip for the better framerate on PC alone when this was just a rumor, even before the Korean ratings leak. So, all this extra content, and the option to start from it, it's perfect for me. But yeah, I don't see how this can be worth for Switch users online, unless they skip the original, or get it in a very good sale. Or the rumors about Switch 2 offering performance upgrades are true, but even then, that involves getting the new console, which I assume many will, but still.

                I got 100hrs out of SMTV on Switch. I don't feel particularly cheated. This will almost certainly get a deep discount due to Sega so if the new content is good, I'll just pick it up on Switch again, carry over my team and doing some handheld fusing. It'll be summer when it releases so I'll be spending a lot of time on the back porch anyway.

I was hoping that with all this bank they're making, they would atleast FINISH MAKING SMT V. Now they're asking for 70$ just for the price to entry, to which I say Atlus can suck my nuts.

      Not. It is the same game with more demons, 1 more dungeon, 1 more da'at and a second story arc that diverges from the original in the middle. The original story is there too. Some of the demons had their abilities changed and they all have a unique ability now.

          Some demons already had a unique ability. IT was just a stronger version of a similar ability. Alice had hit random 2-5 dark that was pretty powerful. Now they are moving it to its own area which is great.

              I dont think so. You get 4 more slots and some uniques in the game originally are gimped at later levels and I would replace them anyways. I will probably use the extra slot for repells.

      It's a new route. Same premise, but now new characters get involve early one, and change the rest of plot. The original story is still preserved tho, you can choice from the getgo which "route" you want, OG or Vengeance. Besides the new story, there is an expansion to the combat system, new quality of life options, more demons, and new dungeons and maps to explore, all of which seem to be shared between routes. So, even if the OG route is still the same story, I still can only assume some new content have to be made to justify the new dungeons. By all means, I won't call it a sequel, but it's big enough of an expansion to still be it's own game.
