What am I getting myself into?
demons that are a bit different
A good hoy
Most unlucky for you
a trash game
Once you get to the bottom of Naraku, have a map handy. Fuse your demons, don't put points into STR, change your armor, buy the HP and MP recovery apps, and save often. That's it. Now go before you get spoiled.
Should I get all the ending before moving on to apocalypse? How long is a New Game + play-through usually?
When the fuck is it getting ported to something else
I cant believe nocturne is still stuck on the PS2
Whats wrong with Atlus
If it's your first SMT I'd suggest something shorter like Devil Survivor OC to see if you like the general loop of get demon > level demon > fuse demon. Your first run of SMT4 can take a while.
Just get the Neutral ending, as 4A takes place before Flynn finishes that route.
as a persona player it felt short as fuck. Maybe if you have a free weekend you can probably start and finish it and have extra time to play other games.
Maybe if you are one of those autist that replays single player games for months you can get some different endings.
looking up tokyo map for sure
Also P4 golden still only on Vita
Come the fuck on
The map really isn't as complex as people would have you believe. It's easy to navigate and make mental notes of things.
>he doesn't own a Vita
They're literally less than a new PS4 game, user.
Is it worth putting heal/buff/debuff skills on Flynn?
It's a nightmare to deal with when someone tell you to go to chingchongpingpong with the assumption you happen to know where that is in real life.
He's the best damage dealer by far but if you're going dex you don't need that many attacks and will have room to spare
It's not but like 70% of players had issues with it so might as well mention it. It'd be nice if people would just say after Naraku or something instead of giving one of the biggest spoilers in the game though.

Life Stones
hp recovery apps are a waste. you can use healing skills from the mp recovery app
Best order to pick up apps in? Any that aren’t worth it at all?
SUCH IS A SAMURAI SKILL
Mana Walk
Mana Walk
Mana Walk
Also, negotiation is busted, you can abuse that
This gif never not makes me laugh
Why the fuck do the other samourai use attacks bosses are null against?
Isabeau has never disappointed me. If her element would cause a smirk, she'd use a support ability instead.
The first boss is literally the hardest boss in the game.
What skills are best for a magic build? should I just keep the strongest single target attack for each element, or are there other skills that are better?
What’s your favorite song in this game? How did THIS game end up with one of the best soundtracks ever?
Remember to play Nemissa's game, too!
Soul Hackers is outdated shiite if you've played any other game in the series past SMT3
Based and hackpilled
I played it for the first time via the 3DS version some time last year, and I thought it held up quite well.
Sequel is better in ALL aspects expect a few tracks that dont come back
On average , of course
Walter, Jonathan and Isabeau are much more likeable than the gaggle of rejects you're handed throughout Apocalypse.
4A's only saving grace is Dagda, but he's practically comic relief because he's the brooding teenager equivalent for gods.
>he didn't enjoy exploring a strange new land
That was one of my favorite parts to be honest.
I wish lol
They are your average L/N/C representatives while IVA has actual characters
>IVA has actual characters
I hate this meme
If you want actual characters you should probably play DDS or Raidou instead, mi familia.
Lots of Hoyposting, ending it thus, learning Johnathan's demons are a bit different (by "different" he means garbage) and falling in love with a monkey
does anyone have the picture of Isabeau dressed as a bunny girl?
She just wanted to continue being samurai and defend Mikado with her friends
Good luck getting the neutral ending without a guide. It's also a huge waste of time and you're going to do it anyways if you're a real gamer.
Every SMT game has an absolute banger of a soundtrack, this is to be expected of the series
>tfw blundered my way into Neutral blindly
Humanity, fuck yeah
Literally searched every resource i have and couldn't find it, sorry
>Wastrel Beam
>mfw gonna plow through DDS1, 2, Nocturne, SMTIV+ maybe Apocalypse/SJ this spring
>The PS2 SMTs still aren't available on the PS4 shop
This fucking sucks, I've been wanting to replay them but since my good computer died I have no way to do it
PCSX2 allow me to up the resolution, get rid of blur, speed up for the occasional grinding and enable cheats for double exp/halved encounter rates.The cheat is particular is great since random battle are actually worth fighting, at least in DDS.
>Cheating yourself out of a comfy grind
>implying you have to grind in MegaTen games
Not as much as most JRPGs, sure. But the only way to get through without even a little bit of grinding here and there for any reason is a lot of foreknowledge.
In DDS1 I grinded for a whole total of like 15 minutes to get some agi spells for the shark boss and literally never after that. My dudes were lvl 55-60 at the last boss.
how to cheat? I want to use it for raidou
>Went into DDS1's final boss underleveled as fuck and ended up fighting it for about 40 minutes because I didn't want to admit I was unprepared and elected to burn through every consumeable I had.
That was a good day
Anyone got the “Noble Voice: Fuck You” picture?
I'll trade it to you for Life Stone x1
>cheat
one of my favorite games on 3ds and of this gen, for sure...
your anus ain't ready for beelzebub
My Serph literally made her change phases with one hit
You definitely have to grind for the last bosses of SJ and 4A
They're great bosses but goddamn the prep that goes into beating them is pretty nuts
god damn it I swear it exists but I can't find it fucking anywhere.
So we are pretending IV apocalypse never happened?
Is that where the fanbase is at now?
I have no idea what game you're talking about. The latest smt game is 4.
>He didn't beat Demifiend
Why is Flynn’s hair so silly?
Devil Survivor was great, man.
It's traditional nipponese hair folded over 10,000 times. Much better than filthy gaijin hair.
say what you will about apocalypse but it had by far the best gameplay in the series and I hope SMT V plays similarly.
the best SMT game.
>phys costs mp instead of hp
>best gameplay
Same way in 4, my man.
What do you want to see in SMT V?
Nobody is arguing that 4 has the best gameplay.
Nah the lack of real dungeon crawlin really hurts it and the map is a mess, and its really easy
for it to release
I was fairly bored and quit halfway through. Gameplay + story didn't appeal to me
It may be futile but I'm really hoping for a third.
you are a mess
What order do I use these in?
>Rakukaja
>Rakunda
>Tarukaja
>Tarunda
just get war cry
Dungeons
a retcon of the lore introduced in 4a
go to shibuya
Same here
I hated navigating the map and I thought it ended kind of quickly but it was a good game, think I liked apocalypse more
They were so good, but Nintendo seems to have just killed off their handhelds now that Switch is a thing. I don't wanna buy a switch.
Which is a shame, really. I would kill for a Desu 3
I don’t get this picture.
>oh fuck I'm dying what do I do
Rakukaja and Tarunda
>fuck you demon time to die
Rakunda and Tarukaja
>Noble Voice: FUCK YOU
Debilitate
>t. pussy who didn't go the naoya route
In one of the endings, you can have Betatron send you a passive aggressive email about how he will smite your ass if you step out of line and shit and blah blah blah. You can also fuse and have him in your party while he does this, which is pretty hilarious.
>Betatron
kek
leaked footage of SMT I Remake
youtu.be
SMT I REMAKE WHEN
Play 4a its better everywhere and playing 4 first will make 4a worse because you go through some areas again
For mage you want conc antichton all elements besides mudo (carry mamudo/mudoon stones) This leaves 1 move open for any skill you want. Other builds you can go with 5-6 supports iirc
why do they look so retarded when they're dancing?
>Law reps end up being Law by following their beliefs
>Chaos reps end up being Chaos by completely abandoning their ideals for a really stupid reason
I wish I could play SMT 4 for the first time again....
Where are you suppose to find the pc, wires and all that?
fucking hugo
shit choreography
now THIS youtube.com
is how you dance
>Kiyoharu and Kenji never appeared in IVA
This is the thing that angers me the most about IVA's plot.
I want to play these games but I can't fucking stand first person RPGs.
>Luster Candy
>Luster Candy
>Luster Candy
>No Minotaur even though he was the best guest design and you play as the reincarnation of his master.
Those are only the first few games. The other ones introduce third person view and models.
Something great. I'm nearing the end at last and all I can think about is starting over.
I wish we got the real IVA instead of this failure of corporate meddling.
Don't worry, they'll bring him back in V, r-right?
Is he really Mohammed?
stop being a faggot and learn to love them then you faggot
4 isn't
At least we got toki
>Toki
Get out.
no
new combat is kind of busted imo, and some of the new demon designs are questionable, but overall a good game
A bit on the easy end of the smt spectrum
Do you prefer pretty Oberon or old man Oberon?
There's apparently zero r34 of Asahi which I find bizarre.
best boss theme
A slog that becomes a complete faceroll if you actually do side content.
Seriously, the part before you see Tokyo is the hardest part of the game because your resources are still limited. Once you get down there, unless you beeline the main quest you'll accidentally become overleveled then stomp the shit out of the rest of the game.
Theres at least this
source
FujOberon works better with both designs of Titania.
Santa Oberon looks okay though.
Kaneko back in character design
Wish I knew, was hoping someone else would.
Atlus Superstars 3
I just got to Minotaur. Should I finish off Wu Kong first, or after?
thank you so much user
Nemissa's game best game
cute
>Mastema was one of Akira's demons
>Did nothing in either game
par for the course for neutralfags
>tfw you will never read shoujo with monkey
>Her favorite stories involve Joan of Arc
Is Isabeau a Fate fan?
>I really got into Sumerian culture while working on this, and found out that in their mythology there is a planet with an elliptic orbit outside the solar system, number twelve or so. It’s really popular among occultists and it is said monsters hail from there. Inaruna, who shows up in the final part of Devil Summoner was inspired by the Sumerian goddess Inanna. There are many mother goddesses all over the world, like Ishtar or Kali, but Inanna feels like the mother of them all. They all differ from region to region though, and it seems Inanna became Ishtar at some point too. If we put it like that, if feels like Sumer is the origin of God, so I paid special attention to it.
>Inanna
>mother of all mother goddesses
So it's confirmed that Kaneko is the mysterious "staff more well-versed in mythology" that consults Doi on his designs?
How did he fall so low, bros?
Kek
THIS GAME IS FUCKING DEPRESSING.
Welcome to SMT
It's not so bad, you get to kill all your friends and become a god/demon
Not really, killing your friends in SMT is like grabbing a coin in mario
>Hey here's a cool demon tower in the middle of the city.
>it's literally just like two staircases
Really hope they tune up the dungeon design for SMT5.
Why didn't Flynn take the humans from Blasted Tokyo to Regular Tokyo?
Why didn't Gabriel kill Flynn on the spot if she knew he was going to seal Uriel, Raphael and Michael?
Why did Walter and Jonathan remember the events of the Yamato Reactor differently?
>Why didn't Flynn take the humans from Blasted Tokyo to Regular Tokyo?
it was too dangerous and because Akira wanted to rebuild blasted tokyo on his own.
>Why didn't Gabriel kill Flynn on the spot if she knew he was going to seal Uriel, Raphael and Michael?
he's the main character
>Why did Walter and Jonathan remember the events of the Yamato Reactor differently?
either parallel universes or the white messed with their memories to make them despair, take your pick.
>Isabeau has never disappointed me.
That's my take on her as well. I think I love her.
it gives him more time to frolic and meditate
You misunderstood, I meant the mysterious "staff more well-versed in mythology", who takes Doi's actually good designs and turns them into shit.
Seriously one of the shittiest games I've ever had the misfortune of spending my money on.
I should have seen the giant red flag that is the school setting and fucked off then.
what the fuck are you talking about? It's not even set in a school you retard.
Wrong game, bruh.
>school setting
I think SMT1 Hero probably has the most depressing life out of the series
youtube.com
as he should
based fujodumper
>Mastema doesn't do anything in IVA despite advocating for Neutral in IV, being behind Archangels' demise, and apparently being Akira's demon
Gaston is the best character of your rag tag team of idiots
*steals your turn*
Despair.
Strange Journey is better.
Gaston was my Goddess.
Fucking loved the endings for Overclocked.
>Being so merciful in chaos even the lawfag goes "wait a minute, this is really gods fault!"
>Being so optimistic in law that you start redeeming people that god has marked as "unredeemable". Even Cain.
Frigg off Cryus
Demeter dabbing at em' haters
A HOYing good time.
I want to spread her lolibaba c*nny so bad bros
>steals your press turns
>acts like a petulant child when you steal his thunder
It's basically modern JRPG perfection but on an exceptionally shitty system. Console wars aside there's no way anyone can find the 3DS comfortable.
But the game feels like an evolution of turn based combat without turning real time like so many other franchises. It's very fast paced, challenging on rewards correct decision making. It also doesn't instant game over you when you go down the wrong corridor and get absolute fucked up.
Loved through the game but lost interest at blasted tokyo and haven't been able to actually commit to finishing it since
>dropping at the best part
???
A game that's a great JRPG but a bad SMT game at the same time.
One of the most atmospheric games of this decade. This game has a lot of high points, and an absolute mind-blowing soundtrack. Be sure to pirate the DLC if you wanna have a challenge later on, because it gets really easy at the end. Enjoy!
I keep trying to into SMT but something stops me.
>Pretty early into Nocturne liking it, but despising this cube shit in Nihilo.
>Couldn't get into SMT 1 or 2
>Really liked the OST, story and setting of the DDS games but hated the gameplay
>Played SJ up to sector H and it was fucking awesome, lost my save though
I really liked getting demons and reading about their folklore, the fantastic music, the interesting story, but the gameplay tends to annoy me.
Get IV.
IV and IVA give you a lot of QoL improvements that make the gameplay much snoother.
IVA especially has the best gameplay in the franchise
