Which design?

Do the diminishing returns when the stat bar changes color matter much in IV, or should I just keep dumping points into mag or dex till the end of time for infinite damage?

Which game in the series has the most comprehensive guides and which game(s) have the least comprehenisve text guides?

>>573954635
I don't know, but I managed to reach 100 Dx and I have more than 250 mag, I'm level 79. I invested in Dx because I want to deal damage to Trumpeter when I get around to beating his ass.

>>573954990
Oh yeah this also includes the incense set I got from Red Rider. With some buffs and debuffs, I can deal over 2000 and even 3000 damage with concentrate and hitting a weakness, so I'd say that after reaching 200 in your main stat you can relax a little bit.

DDS doesn't have a lot of tricks to it (you probably only need a fusion spell list to fully engage with the mechanic) and the map is far from being confusing so i think you don't need to have a huge ass guide to explain how to survive the game.

for the least comprehensive it's probably the JP-only game, tbf some of them already have a guide to it but i remember devil summoner being pretty sparse even in JP.

>>573953231
Nocturne has the worst negotiations of all western release games yes or no?

>>573957065
i think i had a harder time negotiating in soul hackers 1 although my problem was i was severely underleveled everytime i came to a new dungeon so negotiating became an afterthought.
i really wish negotiating isn't completely tied with your current level and you got given a bit of leeway even if the demons end up having a tad higher level than you. this is pretty much the pattern to every single atlus games, they just don't let you negotiate for late-game demons because the game never gives you enough xp to level up accordingly except if you grind autistically for that even though most bosses can be defeated with just the right setup.

>>573957065
It would be much easier if conversation skills didn't take a skill slot, the rare times I made use of them, they really helped.

>>573957774
the grug demons are barely worth negotiating for

>>573957774
>but that's the whole point isn't it? Weighting your choices on which skill to pass down?
Is what I was going to say but I remembered nobody thinks like that anymore.

>>573960874
Today negotiation skills seem more reasonable thanks to being able to pick but back then passing down Seduce came down to passing that or something like Rakunda because you can't get rid of shitty Patra

Made it a few days into the story, my first voluntary excursion into the tower of tartar sauce has caused me to realize that even with magic powers bestowed upon us my current team consists of myself and two quitters that shit their pants and want to go home after one(1) floor's worth of battles to the death against ungodly sludge abominations.
Thankfully despite being Tired I seem to be unbound by such basic foibles as sleep deprivation and will slay as I please.
Observations:
-Music is good, but not as strong as previous entries with some notable exceptions such as the main menu theme and the loop in the tartarus entrance.
-The new persona/demon designs for the main cast are very much a product of their time and look sick even though they kind of stick out like a sore thumb when compared against the rest of the demons.

But maybe that's just mentally ill teenage girls drawing yaoi that didn't actually play the game

>>573995104
Oh did a bit of research
Desu 2 has a random anime spinoff but the first one didn't?
So that explains that I guess

>Late quest has you defeat Michael just for a Melchizedek and asks him to retreat before being slain because we have some technique to bring defeated foes back as our demon allies.
I always thought that was just a gameplay mechanic and not something that was actually happening.
That must be terrifying to see in-universe, I kind of wish boss battles had dialogue feature that.
Like have that arrogant Vasuki shit itself in fear if you used both Odin and Zeus against it, better yet Shiva.

like how instead of "you play as the main character" it's now "you are The Messiah, who is a role selected by The Great Will to observe the world, to determine the outcome of the world" AKA THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTER

Do you think Atlus is mad that Kaneko is revealing secrets about their games?

>>573999674
I was going to buy 10 copies of Raidou Remastered but then Kaneko revealed that the fanbook was wrong on a minor detailed and I cancelled all 10 orders. Atlus will send the attack helicopters on him to prevent this happening further.

With all these free informations you lot should finally buy Tsukuyomi

As we are in the middle of Kaneko spilling the beans about... well pretty much everything, I will remind the VFags that Doi has still not talked more about SMTVV as was promised.

>>574001741
Correct, the lawKEK needs to let you know beforehand that his demons are a "bit different" (WEAK) so that you go easy on him whereas the chaosCHAD boldly commands you to "BEHOLD HIS DEMONS." There is no need for the chaosCHAD to tell you about his DEMONS, their raw STRENGTH speaks for itself.

Original DDS OVA had Kitazume Hirayuki designing the characters who also had a major role on the production of Dunbine, think the overlap between 2 fanbases has always been there so not surprised if Kaneko also got interested and inspired with Dunbine.

>What was your problem working at Atlus?
>It would have been fine if I had only had to draw or come up with the scenario, but having to manage a large team of staff made it truly difficult.

Do you think Doi is in the same position? Based on things Doi has said managing the art team for SMTV he seemed to act like it was mostly hands off. The modelers were just that good. Maybe Kaneko was just being made to work with absolute retards and had to be their tard wrangler.

>>574013574
Most people want to just do their thing at work and not have to worry about managing. It's not unusual to get tired out if you're forced into a leadership role.

>>574014370
At this point I don't even know if skill power matters much in IV, some have looked into it and it seems that when your attacking stat is very high (~200), your damage depends mostly on your stat and skill base power kinda stops mattering.

At least for magic, I managed to see for myself that Agi, Bufu and such remained useful for the entire game. Sticking to them allows me to deal huge damage while rarely if ever requiring MP replenishing items on Flynn. On IVA, they changed the formula so that skill base power actually matters.

As for the early game with a Dx build, Tetanus Cut I remember as pretty strong and early to acquire. For Minotaur you might still want to keep Bufu even if you don't invest into Mag just to deal damage while getting extra turns. You might even want to invest a little into Mag before Minotaur, just in case.

Anyone else think it’s weird that Atlus has no presence in the trading card game scene? It feels like everyone and their mom has a tcg now, but they don’t despite having the perfect set up for one. Their main series are all monster collectors like pokemon and digimon, and they have a ton of material to draw creatures and mechanics from with all the different spinoffs with unique gimmicks. They could even slap Joker P5 on the first set to get guaranteed eyes on it.

I suppose you're referring to this tweet: https://x.com/kazumaKaneko666/status/2076956602461311152
This tweet made me recognize a fundamental issue with SMT.

Kaneko was likely referring to being a producer, rather than just the art lead.
Cozy Okada leaving (and Katsura Hashino being busy with non-mainline) is what thrusted Kaneko into the producer role for Strange Journey. Since then, Atlus has continuously failed to find a series producer for Shin Megami Tensei. Without a producer, Shin Megami Tensei is directionless and rehashed.

SMTIV doesn't have a producer role in the credits. It's likely Kaneko was supposed to be the producer, but he left because he found being a producer exhausting. Shin Megami Tensei V doesn't have a producer credit either likely because that was originally supposed to be Kazuyuki Yamai (producer of SMTIVA).
It's important to not confuse the production manager (Career Soft's Shinjirō Takata) with the producer. Soul Hackers 2 had that production manager while also having producers. SMTIV, SMTSJR, SMTV, and SMTVV lack any credited producer.

The last time SMT executed a planned vision by a producer that directionally defined what the series should be was SMTIVA. Notably, SMTIVA was what established Masayuki Doi as the demon painter.
SMTV (awful media with its saving grace being Doi's Mermaid and Demeter in 3D uohhhh) and SMTVV (based on awful media) have failed to define a vision for the series. They may be fun games, but they're awful media. It's precisely because SMT's last games have lacked a producer and Atlus has failed to establish a series producer that SMT has been meaningless.

>On July 15, 2004, "DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA Avatar Tuner" was released. It's been 22 years this year.

Is it true? SMT fans never played SMT V?

Mem Aleph basically comes from the Barbara Walker book that has some made up stuff they often used in the past. She had a primordial Earth mother there cared "MA" that then goes on to give meanings to each letter separately, thus "Mem Aleph".

If any demon's vision can become the source of a new world. Who do you support?

>>574038535
Keep in mind that Doi is basically just doing art. The first time we've heard about him being involved with the story was choosing the members of the Qadistu in VV. Kaneko was often involved with general concepts of the game not just making art. And he was outright credited as a producer in SJ and likely would have the same position in SMTIV if he had stayed on.

Which sounds funny when you consider the fact that demons fit in one of 3 groups: HP-type (HP:MP = 5), MP-type (HP:MP = 1) and balanced (HP:MP = 2), and demons with the same build have stats that only vary because of level.

There's not a lot of variety in terms of stats, but maybe it's that sense of sameness that's fucking with your brain. When your choices don't matter, you want them to matter, or something.

Or maybe it's the same thing that keeps happening to me: the fusions that look good requiere you to use 2 demons with full skillsets, but you always want it to be 1 demon with a good skillset + 1 recruited demons with 1 or 2 good skills.

You're really doing yourself a disservice emulating the Switch version, specially on Yuzu.
The least you could do is use one of its replacements like Eden or Citron-Neo to see if they fixed those visual bugs that SMTV always had.
Or use a Ryujinx fork.
Or just use the PC version's demo with the RikuKH3 bypass.

>>574068475
The gay shit is very layered and I wouldn't mind him explaining more about it though. It ties directly into the MC's character. They clearly wrote out an entire backstory and character for him and then scattered it around though implications. I want to know why someone like Aogami appeals to him so much when most of who he is implies the opposite. And you can tell the MC kind of exhausted constantly explaining shit to him or having to assure him he'll be careful, or get more sleep, etc. In the same way Yoko would hate someone like that constantly nagging them, how did the MC get so attached instead? (it's not just soulmate shit because anyone can outright reject their partner like Sahori does).

Opposite for me, I knew Baphomet was traditionally depicted with breasts and I overlooked them in the SMT design repeatedly until one day I realized they were there.

Baphomet is supposed to have both breasts and dick, though the dick part is rarely depicted in medias for obvious reasons.

Kaneko really shouldn't have bothered with these questions but i think he really has no choice but to show up so people actually care that he has a new game

Probably talking about the Persona timeline shit? Kaneko said SMT If wasn't part of Persona's timeline, and Tamaki being included was just fan service.

But the art book wasn't wrong though. It listed If in the SMT I timeline not Devil Summoner/Persona.

Newbie who has a question, here. Does the series ever do any kind of environmental storytelling with the types of demons showing up in certain areas? I’d imagine that it would be difficult to do given that the demons our based off of mythological shit and folklore from our world rather than from in the universe of the game

They try but are often limited by the numbers of demons.

>>574112229
Sorry, too busy appreciating Dazai's aura

>>574108617
That happens in pretty much every game at some point. It's usually for boss characters though, not generic spawns.

>>574112229
Dazai is looking at (You) because he knows you're perving

>>574108617

It happens in some specific areas, but most of the time they feel random. Like in SMTV, there's a river where mermaids are there according to a sidequest, and they're really there even outside of the side-quest. And obviously it makes sense mermaids would be in the water area. There's also some water fairy and fishman like demon that appear around the rivers. But tons of other demons just feel like completely randomly placed based just on their level. They do generally avoid mixing Law/heaven demons with other ones at least.

SMT I had zombies spread around early game that were tied to the story, and after a certain you get human enemies also tied to the story. There's also an automated police base with robots rather than actual demons.

that's what I mean, he also doesn't refer to Yamai by name either. why wouldn't he just say Soejima?
other former atlus people name drop each other, even Yamai refereed to Kaneko by name in an interview not long ago.

>>574117964
He just say that he can't answer and nothing else, you could argue that he wanted to keep things short.
>>574118464 is defnitely passive-agressive since he refuse to even name people.

>>574118761
>>574121667

>>574121667
he says " I can't answer such questions" as in he clearly has unsavory opinions and is doing the whole passive aggressive "Japanese politeness" spiel.

>>574122219
Nah, he could also say this because he doesn't want bad publicity for the game he's currently trying to sell.
Giving compliments to a competitor is a big taboo in Japan after all, even if you actually enjoy their products.

>>574127489
It definitely feels like he's doing it to promote himself more than out of enjoyment or love for the fans. He hasn't really said anything about the series since he left Atlus but once his game comes out, now he wants to start talking about it.

Quick question, how did the qadistu defeat the Nahobino?
I got distracted by an asshole screaming outside and by the time I focused the scene had changed from the four in a injured pose to his whole body cracking.

to defeat satan at the earliest you need to finish CoV first, put the finished save file in a different save file, reload your save file before you finished the game, then meet mastema to summon satan battle.
no reason to do it after ng+ since you have to play the game from the start again

It would be so fucked if it really took until the 5th run to play it.

Isn't kinda crazy how SMT 2 has not one or two, but three giant Demons who destroy/damage parts of Tokyo Millennium? Moloch especially stands out to me, because you're sent to The Abyss specifically to stop him from killing the people in Holytown. Only to... do nothing about it, at least you kill Abaddon and Kuzuryu (on the Neutral route). Really, it seems kinda messy and superfluous, it probably would've been more narratively efficient and smooth to tie that in to just one of the giant Demons.

>heroine stopped appearing in nocturne because the game stopped being 1st-person perspective

>>574212309
I dont get the logic...

>>574212309
I assume it's something like
>the heroine represents the player in first person scenes because you can't be in first person and see yourself; in cutscenes you can just show the player
>when you're first person it's easy to imply things (like having someone else with you) without showing it, in third person you'd have to show them following you

>>574212309
>>574213296
Maybe she was always going to be following the player so when they moved to third person they didn't want a possible frame rate hit with demi fiend model on screen at all times and just cut it? Nocturne does have very very very few detailed models in one room at a time.
Shame because nocturne is """"lonely""""" which some people onions about but I just think it's boring desu. Either demons walking on the field or a secondary character to chat with would have been better I think

>>574213432
Most of Persona games dont need to feature all the party people when the MC traverses the dungeon. It's easier to just say the combat was changed from having 6-member party to 4 and having another human would have smaller space for the demons.

>>574213656
That sort of answer works too, the heroine's gimmick was casting magic and the hero's was having a comp but Demifiend just does both by himself.

>>574213656
That's the most likely answer. It's a monster collecting game at its heart
Humans kind of ruin the most interesting aspect. I'm surprised they haven't removed the protag from combat and he doesn't just summon his whole monster party like dqm

>>574165329
Prob a smt4 remake/rerelease in the same vain of eo HD of moving the game to one screen. It's one of the last games on the atlus survey of what you want to see remastered that hasn't been. Even raidou was so it's almost guaranteed.
Prob like 3 persona spinoffs. Personaq3, persona 6 dancing in the graves, some other shit like stickers/arena/tactica. Rts persona?
I think something done with dds is actually quite like. Idk if it would be just a remaster of the first game but if soul hackers got something I don't think it's crazy if dds got something
