About to start this. Is it a JRPG in it's purest form?
>>724254212A JRPG in its purest form is Dragon Quest or something
>>724254212>Is it a JRPG in it's purest formfuck no lol>>724254339This
it's like a ps2 game (in a good way)
>dampener gimmick>no random encounters>no dungeonsprobably the worst smt game if we arent counting soul hackers 2, has some damn good music though and its still a decent time
I still don't understand why they put so little effort into this game after making bank these past few years, even 15 year old spinoffs like raidou feel several times more polished and packed with more meaningful content. It's just empty areas and """dungeons""" sprinkled with demons from start to finish, makes pokemon games look like ff7 in comparison
>>724255168Insane take.
>>724255168just play persona faggot
>>724254498>>dampener gimmickI played >100 hours on normal and the hardcore mode and I never felt the need to use dampenersI get that it feels bad to have this fool proof ez mode item but it really didn't feel that badthe SMT gameplay loops is preserved and it's still as fun to fuse demons and bonk progressively bigger demonsmodern 3D is huge for V/VV and I really hope they remake IV/A in 3D
>>724254212Yes, the combat and party building elements are 10/10
I only felt like I had to use dampeners for one fight, and it was this stupid motherfucker.>Yes let's put in severe physical damage at the start of the mid-game, what could possibly go wrong
>>724254212One of the best OSTs in gaming https://youtu.be/i6qA_dG_q5M?si=bOa0EPUVyUMQuPjb&t=49
>>724254212I honestly hope you start out with Vengence and get the full JRPG experience. Creation is just Nocture clone but worse.
>>724254498It's the best SMT game
>>724255498It's a retarded complaint. The game limits you to three dampners that is just enough to protect yourself from Boss scoring criticals if you're killing then in 10 rounds less. Meanwhile other games in the series have shield skills that do the same thing as Dampners but cost 3 MP so you can spam them every single round or party wide Karn spells that completely shut down the enemy. I fully believe this discordfag just watched some stupid ass e-celeb and just regurgitates it like the sheep they are.
>>724254212play on hard, it's actually hard.
