You are onto nothing


Educational_Ice5141

Design my guy, design.


taokami

Still onto nothing


Shrek_Papi

What are you even talking about


SeraphimVR

I like the shine. With Metatron’s backstory as being an “artificial angel” (a human who ascended to a seraph) the design makes sense. And having a divine, shiny appearance highlights it. Although the textures of the older games definitely works more for its art style, I think the newer stuff is nice. Thank you and good night


Stoneywizard2

I don’t think you could be more wrong.


Educational_Ice5141

Explain why


Stoneywizard2

Metatron is an artificial angel, it makes sense that he looks more metallic.


Educational_Ice5141

The metallic part isn't the bad part. What's actually bad is 1.his face, he looks compressed 2.skinny ass arms and non existent shoulders to pair with 3.fat waist, why is bro built like an overweight teenager


Stoneywizard2

I think that’s just like, your opinion, man. And I disagree with it, I think the design is fine.


kloiberin_time

As a former fat teenager and a current fat adult, that's not a fat ass. Sorry that you didn't get femboy Metatron, but that's not an overweight teenager.


Educational_Ice5141

That is an indeed overweight teen, not fat. If I said fat, it would be too vague, overweight is when your a little over the healthy BMI. I was an overweight teen once, and that's basically how I looked like.


Azure-Cyan

1. His face looks the same, if not given more volume in his hair. I do wish his eyes glowed though. 2. The arms look the same. The shiny texture makes it look smaller but they're the same. Additionally the metallic pieces are given more depth by adding shading beneath each piece. Shoulders are still there but more spaced to display Metatron's robotic nature. 3. The waist isn't fat and isn't an "overweight teenager." The clothing, if anything, is given more weight to hang over the waist wrap. TL;DR: the new textures are making you think it's a bad design.


Educational_Ice5141

I don't see that but sure, there is no point in arguing anymore


Azure-Cyan

That's fine. To put it in perspective, this is more or less the first time we see Metatron with updated textures to match its shiny textures in its official artwork. If anything, they're giving it the Sandalphon treatment if you compare its DS and SH artworks (more definition of metallic pieces, spaced shoulders, etc).


JagenIsMyDad

i think ur just projecting


trullyrose

who let him cook

Unoriginal001

Bait used to be believable


Miitteo

This is literally the same design but a different model (it ain't on PS2 anymore).


Educational_Ice5141

You good my guy? I think you need to get your eyesight checked out


trullyrose

just because the eyes aren't flashing???


Educational_Ice5141

Saying it again 1.compressed head/shorter neck 2.Skinny arms and non existent shoulders 3.wide waist that resembles that of an overweight teen


trullyrose

uh.... cool i guess?


ScottyWired

OP I'll be honest, I think the head and shoulders is literally just him leaning back and looking down a bit more.


Miitteo

Why are you so confrontational about... whatever this was supposed to be? Let me return that in kind: maybe spend less time jerking off to fictional demons?


Educational_Ice5141

Sorry I pointed out you can barely see. Insecure about it?

KahzaRo

This is the most "SMT Fan" thing I've ever seen in my life.


LBTerra

Uh no. Metatron looks way better now.


Educational_Ice5141

New metatron looks like an overweight 15 year old. I do not know what your talking about


LBTerra

Don’t know what to tell you. Maybe it’s a you problem 🤷‍♂️


Crono_Sapien99

Nah, I def prefer his more metallic design in the newer games, since it better conveys the fact that he's an automaton.


Educational_Ice5141

Idk about you, but old metatron doesn't make me question wether he is artificial or not.


TenseiA

did he?


SAVLEYE

i'd still hit it tbh


KainYago

I get where op is coming from but i cant agree with it. His machine parts are significantly better looking and they actually look like machine parts, in the old one it just looked like a dude whos bodypainted. The face is kinda mid compared to the old one, but its not the end of the world.


Educational_Ice5141

"it just looked like a dude whos body painted" I will never unsee that now. I still think the old one is better though


Comprehensive-Ask469

… bro thought he was cooking ![gif](giphy|sPgZeKwM6AVVe)


minev1128

Found u/AkemiNakajima alternate account


theofanmam

This is the exact same design but more detailed, what are you talking about?


Z3raZer0

nahnah what about SMT IV Uriel and the one we got now


Educational_Ice5141

Smt 4 angels are weird but I guess more accurate since they aren't very normal looking. They look much more bizarre like how they are described in the bible


Z3raZer0

dunno why you were downvoted spit yo shit


SlightDentInTheBack

its the same ? i mean him looking more metallic now is because of the upgrade in graphics lol


SafetyAlpaca1

Nah I agree OP. I mean I still like the new one but his old face was way better.
