Because as great of a game as Nocturne is and even though I'm having a blast playing through it again after all these years, it really does look like Atlus just did the absolute bare minimum with it, mainly upscaling the graphics (and even then, some of the movies still play at 4:3 resolution) and adding voice acting, and leaving it at that. Hell, the ability to freely pick your Demon's skills in Fusion wasn't even included in the launch version in Japan and was later patched in. And there's also quite a bit of slowdown, at least with the Switch version; it's nothing gamebreaking at all, but the fact that it's there on a console three generations removed from the PS2 is kind of disgraceful.

At the very least, they could have also done the following:
  • HUD updates, such as skill icons and small bust icons for the demons while in the main menu.
  • Have a toggleable mini-map during normal gameplay, so you don't have to keep bringing up the full map.
  • The ability to relearn skills from mastered Magatamas.
  • When a demon is about to change a skill, have them tell you the skill they are changing and what they want to change it to.
  • Allow you to freely organize the skills of your MC and the demons. Also allow you to freely organize the demons in your active party.
  • Use the uncompressed, high-quality versions of the music.
  • Have the Demon Compendium offer both the unaltered, base version of a Demon in addition to the one you registered yourself (SMT4 does this).
  • Fix all of the Reason endings, so that they are not just cookie-cutters of each other, and actually let us see the world that we busted our ass to make on those particular routes.

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

This is the price to pay for rejecting gods.

If Corona is so bad why not just make it illegal? *thinking emoji*

The only one I'm really annoyed about is the music.

I agree TC and it's a damned shame considering Nocturne was a pretty great game for it's time and revolutionary for the SMT series back then as well.

agreed, after playing strange journey redux and seeing all the improvements they made in that game without effecting the spirit of the game, was really disappointed to learn that Nocturne wasn't going to be changed much at all.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.
