SMT6 soon
so from my understanding of watching DDS' gameplay a bit, it's better to just buy a new mantra of the elemental skill that each of your characterd already has but stronger (like if you already have agi, you then go for maragi, agilao, and so on and so forth) over trying to get everything
What's the best way to experience Canon of Vengeance?I have a clear save for creation. Should I do reborn or newborn? Hard mode? I feel like I won't enjoy it as much if I just steamroll everything but I also feel like I won't finish the game if I have to do literally everything again
>>570304904Go reborn if you feel like the game is gonna burn you out.
>>570304012yeah your characters should specialize in something
>>570304012you also wanna make them get their opposite element so they learn that resistance eventually.
wtf man
Can't wait for P4R to be released so everyone can admit that Kozuka is washed

>>570321532game is so much easier to handle with argella being chucked in the back just for her dia support
>>570304012>>570308863It takes way too long to get the resistances so its better to focus on that from the start if you don't want to get back attack raped.>>570297654I can't vibe with 3rd semester. It screams "I want to be le unique so no god here!".Would fit better with the actual game if his Persona was actually an aspect of Yaldabaoth who had Maruki as a fallback instead of having a le unique special Persona.After playing Strikers it solidified my belief due to the parallels with Yaldi and Demiurge and how nothing of the 3rd semester matters.
>>570332495i'm still in the boat planting bomb and the difficulty has become such a joke since for some reason none of the demons here are even resistant to fire attack so my maragion just rapes everyone, the only worry is if i got cursed but somehow you can just let the character die, then win the battle, the character will only have 1hp but no more curse so you simply heal him till full. oh and also it's a bit of headache of a maze trying to figure out if i forgot a place to plant the bomb.

is the AGI build in Vengeance a meme or is it worth reading the bible for?

DDS having a skill called Materazi seems like an obvious reference to a footballer but then again the japanese of it is read Mahateraji so maybe not

Nocturne's Vanilla Japanese ps2 release is the best frankly, maniax/chronicle are aberrations that made the game worse not better. It undermines the sober tone of the game by putting all this focus on Dante or Raidou, with Dante's inclusion being particularly ridiculous and unaesthetic, and taking almost center stage in the redone intro for those versions. Megaten is a somber series and Dante's inclusion has always rubbed me the wrong way as not fitting with the overall tone of the games, even if he has some connection to demons. Crossovers, especially out of series crossovers cheapen the suspension of disbelief the player has.As for the gameplay changes they were a terrible idea as well, 25% nerf to enemy damage across the board in maniax, and then the introduction of the fiends. When you nerf generics into the ground and add a sudden teleportation to some fucking overpowered skeleton, it massively undermines any sense of balance the gameplay had. Instead of a challenging and consistent experience against enemies they're just pushovers and then you get raped by a skeleton who doesn't belong in that dungeon anyway, his inclusion is jarring from both an atmospheric and gameplay perspective.The HD remaster DOES give you the ability to toggle off the maniax/chronicle content thank god, but it still possess the detrimental gameplay changes from maniax with more additions of its own to make it easier.I'd love to see a translation of vanilla nocturne, similar to the iso patch made for ps2 chronicles. Until then we're stuck playing sub-par versions of nocturne with additions that make the experience inferior.
>>570349309Thot begone. No one invited you to this family outing.
hoy me up
can't hoy up
I saw a post on /v/ about Metaphor letting you give enemies element weaknesses. Seems pretty interesting but also broken. Did it add anything else to base Megaten gameplay? >>570360408Crossovers are just cheap in general. I can appreciate the cuh rapezyness of actually making Dante plot relevant. You also forget that the vast majority of people who play Nocturne do not give one shit about the story or tone.
>>570338642Don't you need some agility or luck too? Or is it really just go full strength
>>570360408Someone got filtered by Matador.
>>570349309>tfw no lilim gfWhy even devil bust
>>570380794>letting you give enemies element weaknesses.It's just a steroid version of fire break/ice break/etc that negates the resistance but this time it can turn into weakness.Best example is Mania Bullet where it's a synthesis skill between 2 specific archetypes. That itself isn't broken but if you join it with 2x party buff and bosses debuff, food to even buff your physical skill even more like amber stew, hero's cry for giving yourself more turns, then peerless stonecleaver (another synthesis skill) but with the specific sword that spends 3x more MP but 2x damage and that's how you cheese lategame bossesTldr you need to build your party in the specific way because some of the broken skills are synthesis
Does anyone have that P2 image where a demon says they like fat bitches?
when was the last time this logo came around? did Nocturne PS2 still have this? I still found them in SMT2 PS2 and DDS 1.
My friend is trying to get me into FF14 and my eyes are rolling into the back of my fucking head from how brainless this shit is. I've never played an MMO so I don't understand how people can be satisfied with just pushing buttons off cooldown isntead of making decisions and adapting to situations.
>>570404534people play MMOs to ERP not to actually play the game
>>570404534MMOs are just work simulators for NEETs to make friends in. Also this >>570404702 with trannies.
do you care about the bullets, i just steamroll everything with spells
>>570404534MMO is a dead genre, I doubt I will ever see again another MMO that force people to gather groups of 20+ players and force them to strategize and enforce roles within the group to defeat a single boss.Most MMO nowadays are designed to be cleared solo and/or with a small group because like anons said, most people just use them to talk and make e-friends and/or RP.There's EVE online but it put a HEAVY emphasis on PvP and is too autistic for most people.
>>570404841They're extremely situational. There's a few bosses and encounters where giving them the ol rat tat tat is better but most of the time they'll go unused.

i did ask how do you farm money in this game but damn at some point 1 single encounter (3 demons) you get to finish can give you 21k easily. this game just showers you in money, your biggest problem is it takes a long long time trying to maximize your current mantra before buying a new one. i saw this video where it's so easy for him to land the hunt using devil feast but i fail a lot of times using that.
>>570418871I think I ended up farming a lot in a hallway in Samsara Tunnels that had a high chance to run into Titanias. AoE sleep plus your choice of Feast skill worked pretty well.

Business idea: Macromastiema
so based on the video, i'm just 2 bosses away from finishing DDS 1. i can do it today but i'm too burned out after playing it 15 hours for the last 2 days. I still need to pick up Makakaja and maybe some other stuff but I've prepared enough for Serph as the main attacker.also where the fuck is Karma Temple 3, i didn't know it existed, i went from 2 to 4 in a single trip and it was horrendous as i was bleeding MP.
So, no news during Nintendo Direct except Persona?

>>570433093If you're making an ailment build, yes.I think he's the only demon with that innate and he makes ailments relevant by himself.

If you kill the Four Guardians before going to the Great Cathedral in the SFC version of SMT 1, it seems to softlock the game. Tokyo gets flooded as soon as you talk to the Law/Chaos Hero, they ask you to check outside, but once you report back they just ask you to do the same again.Found this out the hard way, had to start my playthrough all over again.
The 14th is half way over in Japan and still no VV 2nd anniversary post. It's ogre.
annnndddd doneanother atlus games finished, and i just finished SMT2 last week
>>570536976MOMMY
if i continue with DDS2, will the goodies from my DDS1 save file be worth it
*BOOOM!!!* blasted Tokyo you listen to me if you're near a convenience store right now any type of 24 hour store go into the store and put your hand into the macca register for no reason! *BOOOM!!!* that macca is your macca as of right now!
let's see...
my boy
Playing SMT VV now. Who's cuter: Law or Chaos?
i don't get why your partner needs to get killed first before getting her first magic
>>570549117Your megami needs to tensei.
>>570549117oh my god i just saw the a speedrun video where dude got 5000 macca from the get go and i thought how the hell i started with 0turns out it was from the surveyshould i restart
the start is kinda confusing really, i had to make sure yumi die twice first but in the mean time i also need to stay alive
Also I noticed the MAG in PSX version is a lot stingier compared to SNES versionhere's the comparison of the same speedrunner going for Yumi route doing both SNES and PSX versionSNES: https://youtu.be/jpRJI88N1Ak?si=nabdyNzxBcim9JQ2&t=580PSX: https://youtu.be/fHs1FCY8PTM?si=14fsuHDX_gJt7G2S&t=455as you can see both just entered world of pride, but the difference is the SNES version had 100+ MAG and with few encounters it got into 700+ in a couple of minutes, while PSX is already 0, it's so low that the speedrunner preferred to just keep Jack Frost getting hurt with each step because there's no MAG left. i wonder why they needed to make this a pain for this.
>>570539253I'm sorry to tell you this after you've already restarted but its not actually a softlock. The same thing happened to me and I ALSO thought it was a softlock, I was stuck for about two hours and looking it up found nothing. I think what I did was just go to the tokyo diet building, kill vishnu and ravanna and then come back, and it fixed it?I can't remember the exact order of events but I just remember it was unintuitive. I remember doing laps around the brief area of the cathedral I could actually access (even with them blocking the center, you can access both the law and chaos sides by taking stairs up and down over/under the center portion), getting the turtle/octopus, leaving and then having to come back
>>570554176Thanks for the advice, though, I already got back to where I was in my previous. SMT 1 is a breeze, and you can blow through it rather fast when you know what you're doing and where you need to go.
back to if again, the survey part is genuinely a joke because if you don't land in luck build, you start from 0 macca, but it's even worse if you decide on strength build because its agility is so shit, even on easy you can't even run away from earliest encounter so not only you're broke (thus you can't summon jack frost without needing to grind for macca first), if you suddenly encounter 5 demons that can torch your ass, that's it for you.it's easier to just re-do the whole thing.
also is there some hidden reason of why this dude decides to dump magic stats in the main character ? he also dumped agility stats to yumi instead?
I saw this art on pixiv and it made me lol, why is he so swoleIt seems like an attempt to replicate the "bagginess" of the original snes kaneko art but it really does just look more like he's jojo ripped or some shit
>>570561149>if you don't land in luck build, you start from 0 macca,yeah, going luck is really good for that macca.but you can just grind to level 10 in the boss room that had melusine/faun after going to the world of pride. going back gets you guaranteed enemy encounters and after each fight you can just say yes or no to either fight more or leave.i think once you unlock gluttony though, an npc in the school will say there's a weird guy there now and it will be turned into a cathedral of shadows room.but i don't really think the mc's starting stats are much of a problem because you can grind to lvl 10 pretty easily at the beginning. and the first 2 bosses go down easily from just your partner casting a couple of spells on them. you don't even need the jack frost.>>570561447mag def and increased mag stone damage.>>570553728most the time when i play if... i have no demons on until i fight bosses or when i'm in the endgame.
>>570300961MANDALA SYSTEM TONGUES MY ANUS
>>570568169Is escaping encounter in if hard? I saw this dude prefer to use Cyak's trafuri over just escaping.
>>570568365Well that fucking sucks
>>570568365if you have low speed it's harder. plus if you're in a slip'n slide you can't run away.save up for the gonz pistols and some ammo. they hit 3-6 times. if you're on easy ammo is unlimited and you never have to restock.later in gluttony get the randi shots to charm enemies.you don't really want to have demons in your stock in pride anyway because the cyaks use hama, which will expel them. unless you recruit a cyak and then talk to them all afterwards to avoid fighting. but you still have to fight on full moons (unless the demon is an angel or fallen)recruit demons you find annoying to fight so you can avoid their annoying encounters. though, the only really annoying ones early on are the zombie chans and kuns, and even they get easy once you can charm them with bullets.the pride boss can one shot your party if he decides to use mazio.
>>570569302I just read the MC can also have a guardian huh not just your partner. Do you get that when your MC dies? I feel tempted of not trying to die so i can get Hinokagutsuchi
>>570569749yes. you don't get access to skills though unfortunately. if's... biggest mistake.
>>570569890Have you done all the routes, seems like it's a short game if you only do 1 route. Also is there NG+ aside you get to unlock Akira's route?
>>570570502yes.ng+ only unlocks akira's route.doing all the routes gets you an extra cutscene at the end with steven.

First time full series anon from a few months ago here, still alive just busy as fuck and also suck catastrophically supernaturally bad at Raidou so progress has been minimal in the scant moments I've had time to play but I'm also too stubborn to lower the difficultyJust wanted to let anyone who might care that I'm still working on it
>>570582310>and also suck catastrophically supernaturally bad at Raidou OG or remake?The remake is pretty easy once you understand how the game is meant to be played.
>>570582545Remake, I've always, always been downright amazingly shit at action gameplay like that despite excelling at every other form of vidya. It's one of my greatest shames.I couldn't and probably still can't even beat the early missions of DMC1.
>>570583019Don't button mash, save for a few battles, you can actually take your time.Hide your demons when it's not safe (meaning most of the time) and only unhide them to attack or heal.Focus on dodging with Raidou and only attack after the enemy attacked.If you're shit at dodging, you can also just keep your distance, it works most of the time.If you're somehow also shit at that, there's 2 sword passives that improve the guard action and they both stack with each other.
>>570583167The same race?
>>570583167I feel like this meme is being used completely wrong, like someone just wanted to use a template but didn't understand it at allThe meme would both imply its a pattern that neutral rep characters have demon gfs, as well as that there is a hypocrisy towards it based on the patten of the neutral alignment ideology (the original meme is never ask a white supremacist the race of his girlfriend, and its usually a foreign trophy wife But its literally just the one pictured example where a neutral rep has either a demon gf or an ideology that superficially has a hatred for demons Most other games neutral would probably support human demon relations in the name of coexistence and balance
Kaneko seems pretty active on X, replying to a lot of questions, and it seems like you don't even need to communicate in Japanese with him

Is Redux as bad as people say? I'm open to the QoL if that means less tedium while still keeping the challenge in battles but I've seen some serious detractors. Has made my choice between the two hard.
>>570636297I've played both, and I like the og more. The QoL changes are fine at best, and undermine the games design at worst. That's on top of redux looking worse, though that's just preference.
>>570636297i just think it has too much boss battles, on top of the bosses in OG, you have to defeat all 6 bosses in womb of grief then defeat shekinah in the end if you want to enjoy the full content.
>>570636297Strange Journey might be the next SMT I play. Either that or the Raidou games. And I'm planning on playing the original when I do. Whether or not I ever play Redux, I dunno.

Why the hell does the map in SMT 1 rotate around where you're facing? What is the intent behind this game design wise? Is it supposed to be helpful in some weird, esoteric way? Because, honestly, I just found it disorienting when I'm trying to reference where I am in comparison to the map.

Finishing DDS1, i find Tera spells to be fucking useless most of the time because there are barely any demons who are weak to that. I ran my party with Serph who has Maragion (then Maragydine for the final boss the clear out the stones) for clearing up masses and Agydine along with fire boost and fire amp, I also equipped Mabufula and 1 ice boost just so Serph can at least have 1 other element in his disposal. Then I also have Cielo who immediately had Mazionga from the start so it's a matter of unlocking Ziodyne for him. Then Gale who had Zanma so it's just a matter of unlocking Mazanma and Zandyne for him.Tera spells meanwhile, who the fuck needs that. If you want to go for NG+ bosses you probably prefer to invest on grinding mantra for Last Word and Fire of Sinai instead.
>>570636297i played it on emulator with the kaneko sprite mod. the new dungeon Womb of Grief made me quit tho
>>570661570wonder if the bullets are even good kek
I found Lucifer after stumbling around in this dungeon for months. I can't believe it.
so how many new models are we expecting for p4r? less than p3r feels like a given
>>570720956It doesn't really matter. Only significant thing I see is that Doimons can now be personas.
Dead series
Which Satan is better? This
>>570726169Or that?
>>570726169>>570726415The original obviously. Everyone hated Doi Satan when it was first revealed in IVA.
I lost my memory card with my Digital Devil Saga 1 save on it. I’m going to fucking kill myself.
>>570726169This satan is a bitch because he has tits
>>570726169This is just a xenomorph with tits
I like Doi designs.
So I remember someone telling me that in smt 4 you should level up all demons enough so that they get all their skills before fusing them. I’ve been doing that and I’m now in the area just before the Medusa fight and I’m realizing that I’m gonna need to fuse up to take her on, but the demons in my party still have discoverable skills. Do I keep power farming until they got all their skills and then fuse them to take on the boss, or do I just fuse them now? My worry is that these demon’s unlockable skills are exclusive to them or something and might be really essential for future fusions
>>570734053Same
>>570735627I mean the demons can only whisper their skills to you after you get all their skills so might as well get them all.
>>570735627Only a very small handful of demons have unique skills and you won't be encountering them for a while. Some skills are still rarer than others but nothing you can fuse that early has anything too important that you can't find elsewhere later with minimal effort. You should still unlock them all if it isn't a problem for the reasons the other anon said but if that's too much of pain and you know your fusion options will give you an edge over her you won't be making a horrible mistake or anything. IV's difficulty falls off a sheer cliff shortly after Medusa anyway.
>>570739362I also got a +2 bufu on my Flynn for the Minotaur fight, should I get rid of it once I get a replacement skill since I’m doing a gun build?
>>570741596Well there are still Bufula and Bufudyne to replace that.I still dont get gun build like i know some bullets carry some elemental effect but are you gonna buy all of them?
>>570667913you still need to beat the boss in gluttony before the casino there gets the frost equipment for sale.
what does fortune teller do in old smt >>570748704yeah i just read it
>>570751178>furtune tellernot much. iirc in 1 and 2 they would give hints about where to go but in if... they are useless because the game is already on rails.
>>570735930I want to eat her apples
literally what is otsuki's problem
>>570762060
>>570734053I like some of them, some of them are too weird. Like I unironically like Doi Odin. The Sentai look kind of works for him.
well i'm in envy now, the map looks like a fucking nightmare though
>>570769695idr this in smt1
>>570741884I never bothered worrying about ailment bullets, I just do whatever has highest damage and have a great time.>>570741596If you find a more useful skill for your gun build, then yeah you can get rid of it. I don't have any damage spells on my Flynn and I'm cleaving through the midgame.
>>570769695get the revenge gauntlets in the town shop to void the curse attacks like mamudo.
>>570769695also get the skull armor in the shop that reflects physical.
Tips to get quick money from casino, as soon as you get the manipulation right, trade the coins for Hōtengageki / 方天画戟 as much as you want. It's 1k coins each but if you sell it you'll get 10k macca each.In comparison, all k frost equipments despite worth 10k-50k coins each, they sell absolute shit like 2k-3k macca each.
Hey look guysSahori got her first piece of art this year!https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/146072893;-;
>>570769695One of my fav if... dungeons. It's not so bad if you use pen and pad.
finally got hinokagutsuchi but it boggles the mind because the prompt said i've successfully pulled the thing but i still didn't get it in my inventory, turns out i had to drop some stuff from my inventory (it was a bunch of metal cards) before i finally got it into my inventoryi never ran into this kind of problem from playing SMT 1 and 2.
after you complete yumi's route, is it worth it trying other routes?
>>570796863akira's is completely different.charlie's has the world of wrath directly after sloth.reiko's is yumi's but with an extra dungeon.
>>570797176how are those 2 new dungeons in charlie's and reiko's
>>570797696reiko's is the most important to the story. it's short too.charlie's is a backtrack fest. but the ending is hilarious.if you like if... i'd say just check them out and do the kfrost exploit again to quickly get through them if you want.
I need devil survivor 3 NOW
>>570726169I'll give a rankingP1'sany of IV:A's conceptsboobie satanDoi's final design
>>570803290on the one hand i want it tooon the other i do not trust atlus to make it
dude just died before my turn was even completedkinda cool the world of greed means that if you didn't take that many treasure chest in 3rd floor or even at all, your boss is pretty much shaped and as strong as chironnup
only hazama left, currently level 40and also a fucktons of dangerous encounter waiting for me
>>570809219yep. it's the coolest boss in the game mechanically.is just the chests leading up to chefei.also, it's based on fox spirits creating illusions to trick people. like they could make fields of grain look like mansions to trick people in myths.
>>570810985hazama is immune to ice btw
>>570811569yeah, i kinda ditched k frost sword since a couple of bosses ago so my main purely uses hinokagutsuchithere's this dude who could beat hazama with just MC and Yumi, he loaded a bunch of luster candy from casino and let MC doing all the damage while Yumi taking care of the healingi kinda ran a problem where all my current demons are just level 20-30s and they already got eliminated from Otsuki so can't imagine bringing them again even just for the additional damage source because they'll just get swept again.
i probably will just get nalagiri because of his huge HP and rakunda and he does have a bit of phys resistance, i already got jinn that has tarunda but i kinda doubt if he can last long before being obliterated again.maybe getting both troll and poltergeist so i can get cu chulainn for more pure damage sourcebut you know i probably don't need that many.overall i'm kinda surprised i can almost finish this route in a single day.
>>570797696Charlie's dungeon is the most painful in the game imo because of how huge it is.>>570796863They are worth playing. Unfortunately Yumi is probably the least worth playing since it is like Reiko's route with less content.Akira's route is amazing.
>>570809914Kaneko has resorted to dropping forbidden smt lore constantly though twitter.
so i suspect this is for Akira's route right
>>570813617You play with guides?
>>570814174i just want to get things done alright
>>570814635You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
>>570814897im just glad you got that off of your chest :)
>>570814635That way to play is like trying to finish a meal as fast as possible so you can move on to the next meal. idk I don't judge how people eat I guess.
>>570814981>guidefag and newfag2-for-1
I kept mentioning i followed speedrunners' way to finish the game but somehow the gamefaq's screenshot was what lit your asses offI never attempted to do it like pre-internet guide player.

>>570820980>>570821684With the way that the current discourse around games is already at the embarrassing level of "you don't have to have ever even played a game to call yourself a fan of it" I think the "you should play without guides 24/7" tier take might genuinely be as taboo and unreasonable to people as murder or rape
How did the best couple in mainline smt just end up being a gay version of Susano-o and Kushinada?
Being a Megaten fan is fucking cursed nowadays. If you're a SMT fan, then you will be seen as a tryhard homosexual pedophile that is catered to middle aged Japanese women. If you're a Persona fan, then you will be seen as a pedophile and watch other pedophiles doing collaborations with the franchise.
>>570835330The answer is in the question.
bro had to reply to his post since nobody was responding to him
>>570837028I think smt needs to pull from more mythological romances and do a twist on them. Giten also did pretty well in that regard with Ishtar.

Do you think there are any non-persona megaten games in development right now?
>>570848853
>>570300961should i start with megami tensei, shin megami tensei, or shin megami tensei if...?
>>570851309Megami Tensei is a painful game and different in vibe from the SMT series. It's a fantasy game. It's based on a novel and does not have Kazuma Kaneko's art, so it's not really a starting point for the SMT series. You can try it out to see where the whole franchise started.SMT I is a good game, the Super Famicom version is slow but very soulful.if... is my favorite SMT and you can start here if you want, but its themes are not like the mainline SMT games at all.Short answer, start with SMT.
>>570851924i mean he could start with the snes remakes of MT, but eh yea.
SMT VV ruined the series and fandom.
SMT V is Kusoge Slop
SMT V was so bad that Kozuka was sent to work on Nusona
SMT V proved that SMT fans rather consume slop than play good games
>>570848853Would it be so bad for them to release Raidou 2? It's not like Raidou 1 sold amazingly, but it likely sold what's to be expected no?
uh oh melty
SMT V fans could see two choices that involves sludge or orange juice and they would unironically go for the sludge
SMT V is so bad that people rather make mods like this than actually improving the game

Where do I find a vst/Soundfont or rompler or sample pack for the Raidou 1&2 Persona 3 and 4 Trumpet that Shoji Meguro used?
Why doesn't Atlus do this:Release Jantei Monogatari 1 and 2 in English Release Devil Summoner Make new Devil Children gamesRelease MT IIRelease Dungeon Explorer 1 and 2 with the help of KonamiRelease Seijuu Maden of Beasts and BladesRelease Majin Tensei 1 and 2 on The EshopMake a retro revival:A new devil summoner with the same style as Devil Summoner 1Idk do something, G-Mode will eventually run out of phone gamesAlso release Last Bible 3 for Eshop or something Strange Journey Remaster on Switch?No?Ok Power Instinct Groove On Fight?Rockin Katz?Somer Assault?Ok I'll stop
why is there more porn of jack frost and the cat from persona 5 than every other demon combined?
>>570851924>Short answer, start with SMT.okay, thank you for the thoughtful response
>>570867101start with SMT 1 PSX, that one has english patchif you like it then try SMT 2 but it only has english patch for SNES version (I think GBA also has one too) which I had my prejudice because a lot of people said on the internet that it might be buggy in the place you least expect so I decided to play the JP-only PSX version which pretty much is the best version (although original PSX SMT2 had an even worse bugs issue to the point it needed re-shipping but i think the digital rom you can find on the internet is the fixed version)If.... also has the same fate that is english patch only exists in SNES version, but I still picked PSX version again because my japanese is enough to at least know the name of the demons i should bring to my party, negotiation has always been a coinflip anyway just pick whatever and hope for the best.
>>570864781Furfags
>>570826480i planned to enter KH's fanbase but the combat is beyond dogshit for the 1st game it puts me off so that's why i'm only active in /pg/ and here (there was /eagg/ but it has been pretty irrelevant for a while, I also only came around to /tarog/ when it was already on its last leg)
>>570816439just keep playing and enjoying if..., anon. ignore the shitposters. play how you want. i totally get why someone would just want to breeze through if...shit, i'm just happy you're giving it a chance.i'll tell you something: kaneko actually said he thought it was best to play yumi's route first and reiko's last because if... is like a mystery game. reiko's is the biggest and last piece of the mystery puzzle basically so that's why he thought it was best to save hers for last.i will still recommend reiko -> akira -> whatever else you want to any newfag playing though.
>>570874151KH1 has fine gameplay. In a way it's better than future games because you don't have a lot of spamming the triangle button to watch the game play itself.
>>570876172i found it a hard way that you can't use K Frost rod if the demons you fight have null/repel/absorb of either physic or ice
I never played Vengence, did this shit ever get explained? Lucy dropped in the last seconds of the game and it literally means nothing and everything at the same time.
>>570878760it's just par for the course of any SMT games, can't have him not to appear at all
>>570879151yeah but what the fuck is the mandala system and why does it have machinations beyond God? He never explains this. He ate God's knowledge and just came to know "the mandala system" which he blames for everything.
>>570876620i think the kfrost rod stops feeling op around greed and beyond. but you can also get the masamune in envy/greed. plus you got the hi ko kagutsuchi on your(?) run. same anon?which can also be magic reflected so you still have to be careful with it.hazama 2 has makarakarn, for instance, in reiko's route.
>>570880894now i just checked hino actually has fire damage too lmao but hey at least hazama's not immune to thathow do you arrange your party
>>570872701>start with SMT 1 PSXis the snes version particularly lesser or do you just prefer the psx version personally?
>>570881054depends on what demons i have, but most the time mc and partner are in front. sometimes i might move the partner to the back. or heck, sometimes mc gets moved to the back in akira's route.
>>570881075i just want something that looks less archaic but i think it's still the same exact game
>>570881336for the route that doesnt have hino available, how would you wield your protagonist
>>570882579in front. i only put them in the back sometimes in akira's route.
>>570636297alex sucks, great incest rape correction bait, and the new endings are pretty shit but overall it's good
>>570882898i mean the weapon, or you decide to go with gun instead
>>570883040guns early on. melee weapons later when i get a good one like the masamune.
>>570855691SMt4 is the best atlus game by far, they realized they can never top it without an insane budget
>>570883123do you use sword fusion in if
>>570861532the older games have it online, the ps2 ones >https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/2811I think the ps2 games used something like a Korg? Some of the pianos are from Yamaha. From my understanding, a majority of the instruments and software was gotten during the Maken X - Nocturne era before the Index buyout.
>>570883226no, takes too long for me to care so i can't help you with it either.
>>570881075better random encounter rates on ps1 version
>>570879569They did explain this then if your issue is with YHVH. The Great Will is a higher power than Lucifer and YHVH. Vengeance emphasizes that nothing can top the big GW. He has agents everywhere and can see into the future including multiple timelines. The system itself is connected to the throne and conception. You can though completely destroy the entire world and restart it to cut it off from mandala permanently. This is Yoko's idea. However, everything is perma dark and humans roam around like tormented souls. Probably implying that the system is also connected to the Tree of Life and without it humans can't reincarnate.
>>570840587>Really hope they use these models for something else one daybeing in a gacha game is a better fate then padding out the roster of the next mainline where the plot is about getting aids from as many gods as possible (all of them are offmodel and diluted into unfitting roles) or whatever gay dogshit yamai dreams up
a bit shame yumi's route doesn't have a lot of good bullets, it's the same as well with its gun selection, does it mean other routes are harder so all the better weapons are locked there?
>>570897621just get charm bullets and the best available gun that hits multiple times. envy has a good one. don't remember if greed has another better gun after that.
Kanekino
>>570899223so safe to say it's not gonna do much against hazama then
>>570851924>>570872701First anon here, I prefer the SFC/SNES version because it has better music. It is very important to the game's atmosphere.
>>570900982yes. use good melee weapons against him. the hi no kagutsuchi against hazama on yumi's route will do just fine.use buffs/debuffs if you need but the sword should be fine. he's not that strong. he just has 20,000 hp.
i used to prefer the snes versions' graphics but i honestly think the ps1 versions with filters look even more beautiful for the most part.
>>570876172>kaneko actually said he thought it was best to play yumi's route first and reiko's last because if... is like a mystery game. reiko's is the biggest and last piece of the mystery puzzle basically so that's why he thought it was best to save hers for last.That actually makes sense.
>>570903139yeah, i get where he's coming from. i just think it's hard to recommend playing if... on all 4 routes to someone in the current age so i will always just recommend reiko's and akira's + the others only if said newcomer liked if...i can post the actual interview tomorrow when i get home if you want. it was from the fanbook i posted about a couple months ago.
>>570902596is the music that different, i thought the PSX version still had that 8-bit music in it
>According to the 8th volume of DDS Net, Hazama has an IQ of 256.>tfw too genius to function normally
>>570905063did you know in binary 256 turns into 0? i know this because i have an iq of nintendo 64
>>570906578That's in hexadecimal, not binary and it only happen when you only have 2 digits allocated to the value.
>>570903552Sure, I'm curious. Thanks.I actually never played Yumi's route because I knew beforehand that Reiko's route was similar, but if I could go back in time I might have told myself to do Kaneko's order.Especially with what is revealed in the World of Wrath, I would start to wonder why Hazama is doing all this, and then I'd finally get the answer in Reiko's route.>>570904878The songs are the same, but the instruments are different. I think the SFC instruments fit better and I would guess they were composed with those instruments.. The PSX version uses different instruments which changes the feeling of the music a lot. They probably used music equipment they had on hand, rather than the equipment that Tsukasa Masuko used for SMT I.Also none of the games have 8-bit music. They both have music made by hardware synths, drum machines, and samplers. For the SFC version, the instruments were re-sampled onto the cartridge and then sequenced ("performed") in-game, kind of like MIDI. For the PSX version I assume the music is simple streamed audio, like wav/mp3 files.

sex with Tao
>>570920342Calm down Yoko
It's funny that Kaneko has me checking his twitter every day for SMT trivia when until now I've been pretending he didn't exist. Rat bastard.
I'm trying to get into smt iv but im kinda struggling with the controls. It's my first time emulating a 3ds game.
>>570895946>The Great Will is just YHVH again but multiversal>Disconnecting from it just leaves you in a dark decaying universe, get fucked if you don't like the Great WillThis fucking sucks. YHVH being the agent of absolute order made sense contrasted with lucifers free, but if above them is just another more ominous and mysterious order that you can't ignore is just bad writing. I was always hoping from the way Steven talked about GW, there was complexity to it.
>>570930473>Disconnecting from it just leaves you in a dark decaying universe, get fucked if you don't like the Great WillWhile true you can still make the primordial world "work". That's essentially what the Nahobino is going to do with his own power. A clean slate. It has downsides but it's something he has full control over instead of bending to the mandala rules. It's basically like sacrificing security for potential. Fitting for a chaos end.
>>570931963I mean is there potential? There doesn't seem to be any implication that the world can be remade proper once you disconnect from mandala.And the issue isn't it being a fitting or not for chaos, its that the overarching concept we have been hearing about from Steven for years is just mute YHVH 2.0
>>570932453>There doesn't seem to be any implication that the world can be remade proper once you disconnect from mandala.Yoko insists the Nahobino can do it and that Tiamat could have done it too if not him. Lucifer also gives him his blessing and says its an insane idea he wouldn't have went with but it can work.
Kaneko is literally answering questions about SMT and nobody here is talking about it because everyone here are newfags
>>570943067i dont use twatter tho
>>570924294>>570943067Is this a good or a bad thing? Like, in terms of PR, he's supposed to be promoting Tsukuyomi (which is totally-not-raidou-inspired) but he's instead answering questions of 20+ year old games of a company he's not involved with anymore. Has anybody ever asked him the golden question tho? What happened with him at Atlus?
>>570945683It is odd. I feel like Sega is going to knock on his door and tell him to stop before long.
>>570946409I don't think they would give a single fuck unless he was discussing upcoming projects that haven't been announced yet(Which will never happen since the guy hasn't worked with Atlus since the early 2010s).

Doing random SMT IV quests, I am reminded of how sandbox-y the game was.Thoughts on Navarre?

>>571051820WHERE ARE THE FUCKING VIDEO GAMES ATLUS
Newcomer to the series, am I missing something or is the whole “law vs chaos” thing with the series just “ultra authoritarian with death penalty for jaywalking” vs “everyone murderhoboing”? Why would you want to commit to either extreme? Isn’t neutral the only sensible option?
>>571052796What’s the most recent folklore/urban legend thing the game the series has based a demon on?
>>571056635It depends
>>571056635there is kind of a scale but a lot of the time yes pretty much
>>571056635Law and chaos are different in every game and usually stand for a metaphor about modern times in regard to whatever the subject matter of the game is. In the first game law vs chaos was also western imperialism vs Japanese nationalism. In SMTII law vs chaos was about adhering to moral guidance, is morality black and white? Do you do as you're told or do you do the "right thing" even if it breaks the rules? Things like that.
>>571056635We need more games like Nocturne and DeSU2: people coming up with random but personal ideologies.
>>571058173>In the first game law vs chaos was also western imperialism vs Japanese nationalism.>"Thorman" is spelled with the same Japanese letters as "Truman"Really subtle, Atlus.
>>571051820i've got taisho setting deficiency...are there even any other games set in it besides raidou and sakura wars 1&2&shin?

>>571064157>In the year 1923, during the last days of the Taishou Period, Hiiragi Kyouichirou leaves his home in the countryside to attend the Imperial University. As soon as he arrives in Tokyo, though, he runs right into a conflict between the all-powerful Imperial Army and the mysterious Gohongatana Clan. The Imperial Army wants him for his ability to see the spirits of the dead now, and he’ll have to figure out where his loyalties lie. Is it to his country? To the Emperor? To his fellow man? Or is there an even greater cause?holy, what a ripoff

The steam page for Persona 6 is up and confirms its about the occult. It also emphasized that Persona is a spin off of the Shin Megami Tensei serise, something the other steam pages for other previous persona games didn't do.
>>571096132we are so fucking back I hope hashino disappears like nagoshi
>>571096450Watch persona 6 just be a knock off of Dandadan.
>>571096132Here’s hoping that this is their line of reasoning from a business end>we’ve been milking p5 for a good while now and we’ve got p3 and p4 back in the spotlight with those remakes>P6 is gonna have to offer something new in order for people to want to buy it>but we’re gaming executives allergic to entirely new ideas>so let’s make it more like Megaten since we know people like that and the persona audience won’t know any better since they overwhelmingly only play the persona games rather than the rest of smt, so it will be fresh for them
ghoul got a new model
I honestly think P-Studio should be making SMT games while the SMT teams makes Persona gamesBecause what do you mean that P4R is making tons of new models for old Kaneko demons while SMT VV couldn't even be bothered to add more than one
>>571100293alright now you're just making shit up
>>571100615am I wrong though 99% of the new demon models in SMT VV were designed by Doi and the other 1% was mastema since he was a important character in SMT IV. meanwhile P4R is making new models for kaneko demons that haven't seen the light of day for decades when they could easily just make models for Doi demons that hasn't one yet like Krishna
>>571101000blatantly wrong, yes
>>571095268Here you go!
man the hacking/rts part in smt nine is so bad, i hope the guy whose idea it was got fired or something
Kaneko is a hack.
>>571098884>>so let’s make it more like Megaten since we know people like thator, you know, maybe because persona always was a spinoff of megaten but hackshino ruined the entire company ever since then?
>Hackshino Without him you wouldn't gotten your Nocturne or SMT V btw
>>571100293Is Inanna seriously going to be the only Doimon added to P4R, I can't believe they picked the worst one of the bunch.
>>571101000I think this is because P4R was largely outsourced to Tosethe current persona team is so incompetent ghoul wasn't in P3R when he belonged to the most important arcana in that game
just realized i can't recruit nalagiri because he's a dark demon
>>571100293>Because what do you mean that P4R is making tons of new models for old Kaneko demons>>571101000>P4R is making new models for kaneko demons that haven't seen the light of day for decadessaying all this because they showed off a Ghoul model, whose last appearance was in Raidou Remastered last year, lmao.VV and Raidou both had a bunch of new models, demons like Senri actually resemble their art now, Cherub never had a 3D model of its Devil Summoner design before>>571106870>Is Inanna seriously going to be the only Doimon added to P4Rwhy the fuck would you think this unless you're actually stupid
it's interesting now P4R doesn't feel like Unreal Engine slop due to how much effort was put into it when compared to SMT VV
well one route done

In SMTVV does Murderous Glee work on demons that crit with magic? Was wondering how to set up my Agrat.
Did you ever use Appraiser in old SMT? I still don't know what that for.
>>571100248>>571100293wonder if this proves raidou remastered models being off the table for reusecould just be a case of them independently making a separate model again like samael
>>571123016>>571146402Only in /smtg/ you would unironically see posts like this>"Yeah I want games to NOT be available on modern hardware and become forgotten to time while whining why your average casual gamer doesn't play them"
>>571151748You're replying to the schizo who does not represent /smtg/
>>571123016I don't believe they truly want to play those games as they were in the original state. for a big chunk of that fandom P3 fes was too clunky to play and they had to wait for the remake.it must be that nusona discourse is over saturated, they want to talk about something new and p6 isn't out yet.
Which goddess is most likely to create a world where men are untermensch while women reign supreme?
>>571056635the solution was to make neutral a temporary solution or entirely pointless like SJR's new neutral. they realized by the second game, that every one would choose neutral instead of committing to any other ending.in mainline it has to fall into either extreme, different games present different arguments for why you would want to fall into either one of the extremes.
>>571153649Tao. She is in principal in agreement with the idea that some parts of the society must be oppressed and subject to order and hierarchy. She will scold you if you side with Adramelech and make exactly this point. All that has to be done is making an argument for why men are not suitable for an orderly and humane society for her to make a matriarchy.
>I'll make sure the crimes in those files can never happen again, but there will have to be... changes.
Orthus is filtering the fuck out of me in smt iv. Didn't think I'd hit a wall this early. Am I retarded or is this normal?
>>571056635putting aside the meaning behind the alignment, in SMT 1 and 2, you pick either law or chaos so you can finish the game faster and by the end before the string of final bosses you also got handed a demon that has 999 HP/700 MP like Vishnu or Asura, making the late game pretty much a joke since you can just ram the boss with their Deathbound over and over again. you pick neutral in these games if you feel like defeating all bosses while you have to build the party yourself.
>>571155601It's normal, it starts tough
>>571155601the good thing about iv is you can safe everywhere so just reload the thing if your luck isn't lucking
>>571155826That's a relief but now I'm out of macca. Maybe I should have bought a weapon instead of a helmet.
SMT wasn't always about the alignments anyway, if... didn't have them, III didn't have them, but they went back to it by SJ.SMT II is a counter-thesis to the neutral ending of SMT I. "It won't last, and people need a strong ideal to cling to". SMT II has the best law ending.Basically, alignments was not always something that had to be in every SMT game. It was the thesis of SMT I, then SMT II was a response to that.>>571147915I tried it once just to see, and I think it gave more info on items than what was available on the menu screen.
>>571155561Anti Semitic Tao...
>>571156291III definitely had an alignment it's just not the usual LNC. or you imply the alignment means the secret math behind each of the questions thrown at you then yeah
>>571156510>III definitely had an alignment it's just not the usual LNCI mean then you could say every game has "alignments" cause characters are "aligned" with some sort of ideal, but yes I see what you are saying.
SMT1's Mediarahan (no Mediarama yet): 14 MPSMT2's Mediarahan: 14 MPSMT If's Mediarama: 32 MP with Mediarahan being 80 (EIGHTY) MPthis was my pet-peeve playing If... because i totally don't remember mass healing being this expensive, i really wonder what's with the sudden massive inflation. even Nocturne's Mediarama is just 20MP
SMT V is basically this
>>571160815You posted IV.
>>571161062IV actually has some kick and edge to it
>>571161916What does edge mean in this food analogy?
>>571162236Dunno but it sure as hell stuck in my mind more than V did and has more interesting things going for it.

havent started DDS 2 yet but from looking at the gameplay video, i think the terminal and healer station are closer to each other compared to DDS 1 so your MP management might be easier to do. is it true

>>571166587Are you using an emulator? I haven't emulated PS2 in years and I'm also thinking of starting DDS soon. Has anything changed? Is PSX2 still the go to?
>>571169635current PCSX2 is very good and it was absolutely fine when i played DDS1. it's not like old PCSX2 from a decade ago where you couldn't even do a swap disc, it's as good as it gets nowadays

Playing SMT 2, I'm at the part where you need to kill Belphegor, but apparently the game wants you to have at least 10 INT to even enter the watch tower.My INT's at 6 (7 with stat boosts), I've been largely neglecting INT since Demon negotiations have been more on the lucky side for me.So, like shit, what do I do now, grind or something? And if so, what are the best spots for grinding at this part of the game? For reference, I'm LVL 41 and already finished with the sealed cave where the Amutsukami are.
Has anyone made a non to*hou fangame with snes smt mechanics?
>>570300961I AM the danger, Flynn. A guys gets his attack nulled by the boss and gets decimated by the subsequent smirk, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who smirks!
>>571155734its still ez in smt1 cause lol zio
>>571177187Eh, nevermind, I kinda figured out a method. The Kamen-Hijiri enemies that crop up near the sealed cave overworld give out a decent chunk of EXP.Still, pretty lame and stupid of ATLUS to not only gate progression behind dumping points into MAG but also INT on to of that, two stats that are by and large mostly useless on your protagonist..Well, at least INT is somewhat useful.
Finally cleared Megami Tensei I, without maps... This game was painful and long, but I don't hate it. The atmosphere is good, the key item - boss gimmicks are fine and reward you for exploring. The game is not very enjoyable though, and I'm relieved it is finally over. I don't think I'll ever clear it again.I do not recommend you try to clear this game, but it might be worth checking out for a couple hours or so. Maybe clear Mykon city if you're ambitious.>>571177187You can buy drinks from the bar to temporarily boost your stats for I believe a moon cycle.
>>571164171*cums explosively*
>>571177187Think eventually you need all 10 even MAG stats to get the last pillar in the disco.

>>571210091I won't make judgements on SMT I and II because I haven't played them but for Nocturne play any except JP vanilla.For Strange Journey the original is better (tone is more consistent) for a first run, but trying out Redux after that is good. Do note that IV and IV Apocalypse are entirely different games.

I'm playing V for the first time, is there any recommended route order for it? all I really know is to not give a hand the girl during the intro to start with the original V instead of vengeance.I plan to do all endings so I'm mostly asking for quests/demons from a route locked behind something you get from another.
>>571273540The way Cielo is looking at you says it all
https://youtu.be/kVZIZmqB0uM?si=169QIwy4-IHFVda0 been following this dude where he just spammed tentarafoo by 3rd dungeon as part of the combo skills between tarunda and pulinpa, it's pretty powerful and there's almost no demon immune to it.it costs pretty expensive though like 15MP to each of the characters so when tried to follow it, my MP bar depleted fast.
>>571210091KMTSMT 1 PSX2 translated is only available SNES. if you wanna play in jp there is the psx version and gameboy version. the GBA version's soundtrack kinda sucks but it's the least buggy version of the game and psx is super buggy (SMT 2 is buggy overall). at the cost of someone yelling at me, I should say I think the soundtrack of 2 is lackluster overall.any version of 3 is okay, I recommend PS2 emulated because I prefer how it looks but the remaster is okay too just not on switch.IV and IV:A are only on the 3ds but you can emulate them on citra with some helpful mods.now for the non-numbered mainline:if... is available on SNES and PSX but translated only on SNES. I think the game is a lil ugly on PSX too.SJ vanilla. I think there's merit to playing SJR too but first time, vanilla.I have not played NINE as I have been unable to emulate it.

what a fucking grim ending
did kaneko draw both of SFC and PSX version? why is the old one so soulful and distinct and while the newer one felt like it was drawn in the same batch with demifiend and DDS' people?
maybe if he wore the right uniform people wouldn't ridicule him so much
