June is going to be a big month for a ton of releases and Atlus just added Persona 5 X to that with it releasing a week after Raidou Remastered. There were even some previews recently for Raidou and our guest this week got to play the game early. Big thanks to Kevin Kenson for coming on to talk about YouTube, podcasting, and much more this week. https://www.youtube.com/@KevinKenson https://www.youtube.com/@partychatjrpgpod Support the podcast: Patron.com/SMTN Subscribe on YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/torchwood4SP Check out the Shin Megami Tensei Network podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shin-megami-tensei-network/id1527210478 Spotify: https://t.co/wOXqDqPqoc?amp=1 Find us online X/Twitter @SMTNetwork @Torchwood4sp Bluesky @Smtnetwork.bsky.social Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SMTNetwork Join our discord.gg/TkBgNpp
Chris Okawa has been acting for over a decade and will soon be heard as Rasputin in Raidou Remastered. He was nice enough to come on the podcast for chat not only about working on the game, but also much much more.

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes. Our month of Megami Tensei closes with a great little pair of Shoji Meguro soundtracks for the Devil Summoner sub-series. These were both on the PS2 so have a very similar sound to what was in Persona 3 and especially the Digital Devil Saga games which we previously did an episode on way back in episode 4. Thanks to Aden for being able to join us to talk about these games and their very good soundtracks. Join our Discord!

Persona 5 The Animation surprised the world last week not only by announcing that it will be receiving an English dub, but also because it will cost $300! So following a long holiday weekend I decide to sit down with the SMTN community and discuss why this is a terrible decision for so many reasons. The later half of the show is rounded off by answering community questions and having way too much fun thinking about Raidou 3.

As we wrap up our journey through the world of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, we learn what it takes to defeat a soulless god (destroying a satellite powered by perpetual motion, obviously,) discover a shocking detail about our old frenemy Rasputin, and enter a time void to prepare for our final battle with a sentient battleship. And that's not even close to describing all the crazy stuff that happens in this game's finale! But in the end, we learn that what truly matters is what we've learned from random NPC's along the way.

What does a general want with an army of undead soldiers? And how does an ancient tree monster play into his plans? We discuss these questions and other imponderables on our latest episode about the first Raidou game. Along the way, we discuss the General's further plans, which include a HAARP-style conspiracy theory and using a perpetual motion machine to create a satellite to resurrect a soulless god. (Note: Because of technical issues, we lost the second half of Allisa's audio track, so unfortunately she only appears in the first half of the episode.) Image by alegria via Zerochan.

As we journey through a demon-haunted Taishō era Japan, we have an enigmatic encounter with the very-still alive Rasputin, do battle with the Marquis of Hell, and are forced to turn down an offer to let a corpse army kill the rich. Meanwhile, we learn more about the enigmatic red caped figure and learn more about the curse befalling Kaya Daidōji.
We jump back to the early 20th Century to join the adventures of apprentice detective Raidou Kuzunoha and his trusty talking cat. When a client in distress requests that Raidou and his boss kill her, they're ambushed by mysterious men wearing red capes who kidnap the client. Raidou is then thrust into a dimension-spanning investigation to get to the bottom of the case, but the apprentice detective has one advantage against the forces that stand in his way: the ability to summon demons.
