the more i keep playing it, the more i'm disappointed we don't have access to some of the costume pieces the npcs have.

Loincloths.
Breastplate the talons use.
Backhanded daggers.
Long hair that go down the front and strategically cover the chesticles.
New long gloves.
etc etc


Clearly put a lot of effort into these and well... I'm totally jealous and i want them.

I suspect some of these we may see, but others are a bit of NPC "sleight of hand" that might make porting to a PC difficult.


Take the "Long hair that go down the front and strategically cover the chesticles" as an example.

If this was JUST hair attached to the head, then every turn of the head would greatly mess it up- causing it to penetrate said chesticle on one side while floating well above it on the other.

You could get this visual effect by making 2 separate elements- a "hair" element that extends down to the shoulders and a "chest detail" element that extended over the chest, meeting and overlapping the hair element enough that when the head turns, it still appears to connect.

The problems are
- it would require two costume slots to work (hair and chest detail
- it would not work on costumes where "chest detail" meshes don't normally appear (jackets, shirts, robes, etc)
- they lack the tech to tie two costume elements together (so if 1 is selected at "a" then the other is selected at "b") meaning they have to make this somehow appear OK independently of one another.

Me too. That cuirass the Talons use and the top the Tsoo females use are really good. Also the glowy tattoos and tattoo'd top used by Tsoo girls. And the Tsoo naginatas (those spear things). And both the loincloths and shorter backcloths (what is that called? The... I dunno, buttcapes that some Knives of Vengeance LTs have) used by the Talons and Knives. And the straps used by the Knives in general.

Any chance of us getting those in the future?

Hehe I've been a fan ever since I bought the only copy of Revelations: Persona at a local Target waaaaay back in '96

In fact, I'm currently playing through Devil Survivor 2 as we speak.

I'd be happy to get hood options that have hair coming out of the side of them

Rock on! Been a fan ever since I picked up Nocturne in 2004. Played a majority of the SMTs by now, but had to emulate some of them since they weren't localized.

Would be awesome! It's not asking for a lot either.

You bet :P.


Sure would love to see more costume options from DA though. Maybe we'll get a "Dark Astoria Pack" in the future?

Only really played Persona 4 and the online game, which isn't so much a SMT game as it is a game using the demon models to cash off of the other games' popularity.

Ironically enough that the Persona series seems to be more popular than the mainstream Shin Megami Tensei games.

I meant the online game.

Persona 4 was a good game, online SMT, not so much.

But uh, we should probably take this to PMs if you wanna continue the convo so people don't start whining about thread derailment.
