I haven't heard of anything being done with that. I was wondering where that was too.
I saw this show up on my YouTube feed, looks like it's at 7:30pm CST, so during waking hours of most Americans at least!
Stole this from Reddit, but apparently at the demo event for the public in Japan, Atlus posted a photo from it on Twitter and a new question has come up. Who is this mystery demon (the one underlined in red)?
My guess is Mizuchi, but trying to go back to the SMTII design with a different pose.
He was in Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga with this design:
I would think they go for something a little less simplistic for Vengeance if this is who it is. I had flipped through my Kaneko Works books from the Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers era, and this was the closest answer I came up with. If it's not Mizuchi, then it's probably something new I think.
What's interesting about it is it's very faithful of depictions you see of it when Googling it. Kind of like Arahabaki.

Today's demon is Fairy Jack-o'-Lantern! You would harder pressed to find games he is NOT in. Prior to Persona 5, his name was localized as "Pyro Jack". My guess is the reasoning for this was simply the fact that Jack-o'-Lantern would break character limits. I know there's various opinions on the community if they prefer Pyro Jack or Jack-o'-Lantern. I fall into the latter camp. I remember playing Persona 5 (the first game he was called Jack-o'-Lantern) and my wife saw it and said "That's a Jack-o'-Lantern" and I said "no he's actually called Pyro Jack". Remember Persona 5 doesn't reveal the actual names for Shadows until you get them as a Persona, so in his case he shows up as "Crypt-dwelling Pyromaniac", and then I was surprised to see that I was quite wrong and they finally called him "Jack-o'-Lantern". Oddly enough, his shadow name in P5R was changed to "Inviting Pyromaniac".
You probably remember him as one of the follower demons that would find treasure for you in the original SMTV. It looks like he might have that role again here too, as you see him walking with you in the scene where the group of humans goes into the Fairy Village. He's had various roles in other games, so I'll bring up just two more here. In Digital Devil Saga 1, the "HipHop Brothers" are encountered in Coordinate 136, talking to you in sick rhymes. Then they turn into Jack Frost and Jack-o'-Lantern and you have to fight them:
Of course I'm not going to go without mentioning one of his most notable roles: Jack Bros! He's one of the playable characters alongside his brothers Jack Frost and Jack the Ripper (really wish he would show up in a 3D game). Oddly enough, Jack-o'-Lantern here is still "Jack Lantern", even in the English localization!
Tomorrow's demon is none other than his brother, Jack Frost! Hee Ho!
Of course! That game was such a banger! Still available pretty easily today:

SMT Synchronicity v1.04 English (PREPATCHED).zip
This is already patched in English. It was wild that this game got it's translation patch in something like less than 24 hours.
I haven't tried it on Deck yet, but I'm willing to bet it should work well. Proton is pretty powerful shit.
I can only hope they do caribbean demons one day
I really, really would advise against it. The new route is going to have you going through all the same locations anyway. There's no upside to it, only downside.
If it's so bad why are they even including it as a route when they can just release a brand new story like they did with IV Final?
Cause folks would ask why they weren't getting the other story on non-Nintendo platforms, not understanding that Atlus was doing them a favour.
Because on top of being an enhanced release, this is the first time SMTV has been available on non-switch platforms. Including the original campaign as an option makes sense.
Up to you, but you would get the original experience via creation route in Vengeance.

Worth pointing out they said the QoL stuff will be in Creation, such as removing the level scaling, rework of Abscesses, and other things. I don't know if they're introducing the new common demons in Creation though.
That's great and they're also introducing new quests in both the creation and vengeance routes.
I expect it will run at 60FPS at max settings on Deck. I could potentially be wrong, but this is a Switch game at the end of the day, and while I'm sure it does have some possible bells and whistles for platforms more powerful than Switch, I think it will largely be the same.
Yeah those would be really cool. Toilet ghost would be skibidi toilet, and now I've dropped that cursed thought about skibidi toilet in an SMT game.
