It should also be known to many people that "Persona" is just one of the small branches of Atlus's huge goddess mythological system, and the main trunk of this worldview center is the "True Goddess Rebirth" series developed by Studio One, and today we are going to talk about this series, which can almost be said to be the highest-rated work - "True Goddess Rebirth III. NOCTURNE HD REMASTER".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > evolution of the goddess series</h1>
But before talking about 3, let's have a little bit of a look at what this series is doing, first of all, the title of the game is called "True. Goddess Rebirth" Well, ah, is it true? Or how, the false goddess is reborn? There really is, but it's not fake.
Atlus's first game was "Digital Demon Story ~ Goddess Rebirth" and "Digital Demon Story ~ Goddess Rebirth 2" released on Super Nintendo in 1987 (the year after the birth of Zelda Legends), which can be regarded as establishing the future of the True Woman series, and of course, many systems that are the cornerstones of the development of the P series.
For example, P1+2's first-person labyrinth exploration; P5's mouth-shutting Pokémon's demonic dialogue; Pokémon fusion, sacrifice, and reinforcement; and the whole bunch of demons who have been this bunch of people for ten years.
The combination of the characteristics of the two "Goddess Rebirth" is 1992's "True Goddess Rebirth 1", the real starting point for everything. In general, these games have some more conventional elements: for example, demons exist in the virtual world of computers, the protagonist must survive in the deserted Tokyo, and fight against the demons that spread on the streets.
Especially the deserted Tokyo, it can be said that it is the biggest symbol of this series, basically you play the real girl series, Tokyo is destroyed several times, but the part about the logic before and after can not be thought so deeply.
In short, when there was this, it came to 2003 in the blink of an eye, yes, it jumped for almost 10 years at once, longer than the interval between "P4" and "P5", the protagonist of this film - "True Goddess Rebirth 3 NOCTURNE" was finally released, and the platform was PS2 like "P3" and "P4".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > a whole new generation of change</h1>
Came to the second, second, second, next generation host, "True Goddess 3" of course in the picture to do a big enhancement, directly using the normal proportions of 7, 8 heads of the body shape & complete 3D modeling of the maze, you know, even its full 5 years of "P4" is still using the Q version of the villain, of course, sometimes the game will still have such a more impressionistic map movement, but OK can be accepted.
Set in Tokyo in 200X, the story tells the story of the protagonist and his friends who come to the hospital together to visit the beautiful teacher of the school and face the event of "Tokyo fertilization" (don't think too much, it basically means mass extinction).
As a result, the whole city, except for the people in the hospital—yes, all of them died clean. Our protagonist, on the other hand, is accidentally implanted with a ghost and gains demonic powers, so he embarks on an adventure in the deserted city of Tokyo in search of a beautiful teacher.
"Tokyo is dead, and I'm born." The most famous line of the 3rd generation comes from this.
However, you may see the creation of the witch, the new world, Maitreya, the human Shura, the silence of the rest of the and other difficult terms, if you can't understand these things, then really don't worry at all, because this series has always been this tune, but the 3rd generation of radio waves are particularly strong.
Compared to the plot, the 3rd generation of its revolutionary combat system, as well as the difficulty of the Dark Soul level ghost beast, is what it is highly respected... And the reason for the controversy, but because the MASTERED version added full voice, making the original story that was both bland and god-stick, at least a little more human.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > innovation in combat systems</h1>
Of course, the innovation of 2003 may feel nothing in the eyes of our modern people, but when you realize how many elements in this game will be inherited by the later "P3", "P4", "P5", and no accident, when "True Goddess Rebirth 5" will be released next year, this is where it will really start to feel interesting.
First of all, about the turn-based part of ah I think there should be no need to explain, and have played "P4", "P5" is better, you can directly judge which move is which move, because all the spells: Yaki, Gio, Buf, all are common, basically a Portuguese to play in Brazil, and then after our turn to beat the enemy, we will change the enemy to beat me, no problem.
However, it is very important to say that one of the keys to the victory or defeat of the battle in True Goddess 3 is the system of "number of moves". The number of moves we can make each turn is determined by the demons you bring to the field, but whenever you play a WEEK or CRITICAL yourself, the number of moves consumed will change from 1 to 0.5, yes, it means that you have one more punch that can be punched again.
The P series that came to this later became their "ONE MORE", and you might wonder, "Why would I say punch instead of a magic or skill or something?" That's because the SP management of this game is really unusually hard.
In "P", when you are tired, you can go out of the hall, go home and sleep, and continue the raid tomorrow. But "True Goddess 3" you can't do this, Tokyo has rotted, but there is no time for you to carry the cat around, the player can do the whole process is to constantly and endlessly advance through the maze in front of you.
There will only be a very small number of blood points in the middle that will allow you to return the blood, and if some people see this and have an ominous premonition, then I will say, "You guessed it!" This game is also not for any time to save, you have to spend all your blood, consume all the magic, win the big boss, the result of going out to meet a lump of mobs killed, sorry, back to the last save point, all replayed.
Earlier I mentioned that if we hit the enemy's weakness, we can hit them more, which means that the enemy can do this to you. And the most disgusting thing is that attacking MISS will directly consume two action blocks, which means that you will change the enemy to beat you without fighting anything in the turn, and then they will frantically poke you for weaknesses, infinite combos, and send you back to the previous save point again.
Here it is strongly recommended that if you are a turn-based player, playing this game can adjust the difficulty to the newly added mercy difficulty of the transplant version, or in the early stage of the game, try to point all the skill points to the speed and transportation first, which can really help you save several small lives. Otherwise, you will really see the protagonist fall again and again, and then be called by the Lord to be brought back to the opening interface of the game by the angel, which actually spawned a meme.

A well-known scene in the ending of this anime is where the protagonist freezes to death in the snow with the dog, and then several cherubs in the sky fly down to pick him up, and the death scene in True Goddess 3 looks very similar to it (well, 99% of it is intentional), and then before dying, the protagonist says a very famous line: "Patrasius, you are tired, I am so tired", so this becomes the origin of the stem.
There are no cute companions of the monster gang, only the protagonist who can't find even a shirt the whole time, and a bunch of monsters, in this deserted world, lonely, endless killing monsters. However, this 180-degree detour has become the true goddess rebirth 3 its unique charm, when you are lonely to the beginning of the pixie next to you, (because without her, you probably can't even get out of the hospital of the first level), that...
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the exclusive blood of the pagans of Atlus</h1>
"True Goddess Rebirth 3" is like many Atlus games, it is a game that is completely opposite to the two words of the king's road, in fact, even the most popular and popular P series for the average player at present, if you ask me, I think by the standard of the general JRPG, then they are really completely "deformed". Because this company loves to do all kinds of super invincible anti-bone games.
And this game is definitely the most disobedient, rebellious, and most hateful dead child in the whole world, whether it is for the entire market or even for Atlus himself at that time. But there is no denying that the genes of this game will penetrate into each one endlessly, and they have launched several games later, whether it is a combination of zhongdegg upgrades or tricks, especially the "True Goddess Rebirth 5" that is finally ready to come out next year will probably be based on 3 generations rather than 4 generations, of course, these systems are not the first of "True Girl 3", but without it, they will definitely not have the maturity of today.
This game is not a game for everyone, there are many old places, for some new generations of players, it may be difficult to swallow, like this in the "Persona" was later changed the gold style, there are many cutscenes obviously before the press has been lost, so the transplant version can only maintain that 480p, 4:3 ancient look.
But suppose, you can feel any little bit of mysterious magic from such a strange game, then "True Goddess Rebirth 3" is definitely a try.
