ok gimme a while to read a entire translated version of the game script or just a part of it since they tend to be long. ok that is way to long so i will look at notes.Yvl9921 said:
ok from what i can tell a main char from P1 returns and Joker from Eternal punishment is it.
and here the explanation:
The famous German dictator that took power in 1932. When Akinari Kashihara's book is leaked to Maya Amano's publishing company, Hitler and his forces are resurrected by the rumors that result. According to rumor he did not commit suicide in 1945, but was saved by his elite soldiers, the Last Battalion, and he's still alive, waiting to come back to power. He wants to raise Xibalba so that he can create the perfect Dictator-State in Sumaru City. He's also Nyarlathotep in disguise - Nyarlathotep took the form of the evil that people commit in groups, not just an individual Shadow. (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Adolf_Hitler)
Therefore his resurrection is do to a rumor which if you played Eternal Punishment you will remember the rumor system where rumors become true, thus making Hitler into a very plausible story device for getting the greatest evil villain (in real history since i am pretty sure any videogame villain would top him) without putting the game into world war 2, and since as i mentioned before that the Shin Megami games like to take demons out of various myths and cultures they also like taking people out of real life. (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Shin_Megami_Tensei_Demons) (this is the list of demons in the games)
you do realize that this is a basic plot device to get Hitler out of world war 2 and into a entire different setting without having some cliche time travel.Yvl9921 said:
also is this really that bad to do this look at the Hellsing Mangas they take the Nazis into the common day and its a great piece of literature to read
No....the ones announced for the 3DS to my knowledge were another Devil Survivor game, another Strange Journey Game, and possibly a remake of Persona 1. I'm certain P2 had nothing to do with the 3DS at all.Stubee said:
Sp this game is due for holiday season in Japan eh? Well I guess NA will be getting it some time in Q1 or 2. I still have to finish P1 and P3, put them down for other games and I'd wanna get through those before this one comes out.
The article is slightly wrong with the story of the game (it is a direct sequal/continuation...kind of, its a spoiler so look it up on your own), still I hope the game is released in the US, albeit I don't really understand why it was never released here in the first place, I don't think the cult resurrecting hitler would've caused much controversy (wolf 3d and bionic commando got by fine), and one of the characters being gay is rather minor (actually both those would probably help, given the other one has actually driven people (myself included honestly) to play it, and hey a gay character who isn't a offensive stereotype, that's some good PR...I guess).
your starting to help it's case, and so what, it's hardly the least controversial thing to have come from the series, for example killing YHWH in shin megami tensei 2 (according to one of the directors or something, it's more a symbolic representation of all gods, then just the Judeo-Christian one, but still your essentially killing God)Yvl9921 said:
Ah yes, the Persona series, I've always thought their catchphrase/slogan should be, "Just when you thought high school couldn't get any worse"
