its called persona

It's called Devil Survivor and it's better than all those shitty SMT/Persona games.

Stop posting pictures of the devil

I love all three but Devil Survivor was my first Megaten game and I will always love it for that.

I guess devil survivor is more what I'm looking for. Persona doesn't take place in the post apocalypse.

I wanted something that took place when the world is already fucked like in 4 but more focus on its characters but not in a sloppy way like 4A.

Persona & Devil Survivor are what you're looking for

Personally don't want this. I think the strengths of SMT games lie in it's gameplay, exploration, player input and customization. It does this better than any JRPG.

Overlord, of course.

Persona isn't after the apocalypse. I wouldn't mind Devil Survivor if they removed the time limit and had less anime tropes in it.

>removed the time limit

A week isn't enough time to create life bonding relationships.

Shin Megami Tensei must change. Its inevitable. Nobody wants to play edgy, hardcore dungeon crawler again when every other company can make a better one. If they insist, then it needs to be repackaged, hence why Persona is the mainline series now.

Also, update your lesser known demon designs you lazy fuck.

That’s because DeSu 1 has a focus on survival. DeSu 2 had more of a focus on that kind of stuff.

You're forgetting the oppressive atmosphere of SMT.

>Persona is the mainline series now
>he actually believes this

Yes it is. If you went through the apocalypse fighting demons with a small group of people, you'd be pretty tight with them after the fact, even if it only lasted a week.

Devil survivor 1 uses characters to represent a particular viewpoint or kind of person, rather than actually being independent characters. And 90% of the plot is just wandering around aimlessly while nothing happens.

Not entirely true. I’ve played through DeSu 1 and you’re always having to deal with shit
>demonic outbreaks
>gang warfare
>police brutality
>military conspiracies
>demonic possession
>societal breakdown
And even then, the routes are still pretty damn character driven.

I don't know. You don't get to know too much about Walter, Jonathan and Isabeau. You do know more than in previous games but I was hoping for a more tighter connection so the alignment change would hurt a lot more.

4A tried to have a focus on plot and characters but it was paced so fucking fast the only character I really was attached to was Asahi.

Yeah smt fans are really really paranoid about mainline "becoming too persona-like" and fear signs of lightheartedness. It was a bit annoying that it dominated the discussion during IVAs release. Asahi to me was like Yuzu but if she was endearing, went through some pretty harsh suffering as consequence of her actions and you could let the good old fashioned megaten grimdark continue if you just picked the worthwhile ending. Making her the megami was kinda cute.

That he did. I felt it was way too fast though. I think the game needed more side content so we can have more downtime with the cast.

>Life bonding relationships
Devil Survivor is quite literally about surviving, though. While it has more focus on bonding with people, that's not the core premise.

Does emulating Nocturne and DDS still have this

Attached: 1542910204945.jpg (960x720, 73K)

That's why I said remove the time limit. I want a story about a group of people trying their best to reach a goal in a world that doesn't allow them.

I actually really like Apocalypse. If only the pacing wasn't so lightning fast, it would be probably one of the top 3 for me.

There's certain aspects of SMT that I'd like to see change, like
>Using other settings besides Tokyo, maybe Kyoto or Osaka
>Different alignment representatives instead of Lucifer, or an avatar of YHVH
>Different ideologies and mythologies being explored, instead of the usual alignment business
Otherwise, SMT doesn't need to alter much. I'm sure SMTV is going to do well, or at least bust a million sales. The series will be fine, truthfully.

Then it wouldn’t be Devil Survivor, dude.

Yes, if you use the wrong settings.

I thought about removing the time limit once, but that'd be a bit much. I like DeSu because you build said relationships and struggle together in impending doom in the short span of time that you do have. Maybe boost the time by a week or so, but anything other than that, and you might as well be playing Persona in an apocalyptic setting.

This. I think people often underestimate the series, or are overly pessimistic about its success. IV by itself sold over 600k. Imagine how much V will sell since it's not only back to full 3D like Nocturne, but is on another console esque system that already has some successful JRPG's, on top of being in a drought for games?

Not to mention the popularity boost from P5.

Pokefags are disappointed by Gamefreak's fuckery and are jumping onboard the Megaten train.

I'd rather they just make a new Digital Devil Saga rather than fuck around with what makes SMT unique.

>Gamefreak's fuckery
user, you aren't dumb. Right?

Pretty based for once, Rape-Kun.
The IV Duology did this, though. I'm not exactly opposed to the characters present in future games getting more characterization, or outside of that better world building, but it shouldn't be excessive. On the contrary, I don't want the story to be overly minimalist like games prior to IV.

Not him but a while back, I found myself growing out of Pokémon and decided to jump into SMT and never looked back since.

I don't know what you're implying, but Gamefreak is to blame for the mainline titles being the way they are. The lack of effort is why Gen 6 felt so unfinished, and why Gen 7 was borderline awful. Railroading up the ass, no sense of exploration, overly plot heavy games, and other issues. It wasn't good.

Is it true that a story/setting like SJ was supposed to be a one-time thing? It was nice having a game that had nothing to do with teenagers or Japan

Any pipe dreams for the series?
>reboot Megami Tensei II but they allow you to continue on the side of your bro instead of forcing you to go with some thot
>make something like Nine again but good
>hope they learned their fucking lesson with the failure of the gacha game and not release anything that garbage ever again

Oh I thought you were talking about today's announcement. So many dumb anons were blaming gamefreak for Pokemon Home and Pokemon Sleep and I'm just thinking if they graduated high school.

Not sure. The director of Strange Journey said he wanted to make a sequel, one of these days anywho.

How do I remember fusion formulae for good races like tyrants?

A new Raidou. it's been over a decade.

>Devil Survivor 3, except you can control your demon units seperately in a Fire Emblem fashion
>More enemies on the maps to compensate for the above change
>Better map design in general that requires actual strategy and thinking
>SMT II remake one of these days
>Another spinoff with a similar feel to Digital Devil Story, except it follows Egyptian mythology and other philosophies

There's a Fusion Calculator, if you google it. I think it has fusion results for each game. Speaking of that though, it just occurred to me a few months ago, that the different demon races excel at specific roles. The Megami Race for example, excels at offensive Magic and healing, but have weak physical attacks.

How does this even happen to a person?

Both P1, and the P2 duology did in fact. Until the new generations of games directed by Hashino were released, anyway.

Yeah, I got him on my first try too. IIRC I didn't really bother trying to buff/debuff there and just outdamaged him.

What if SMT V starts out all lighthearted and gets progressively darker the closer you get to the nukes going off. Then the last two thirds of the game are full on Shin Megami Tensei.

Yet here, you got people acting as if there aren't wondering demonic rape monsters around and are jusr doing their normal rounds in this world.
I wish they would go through with that sort of idea in a later game.

The Expanse is connected to Tokyo, though. I don't think we'll see an American setting anytime soon.

Mikado and Tokyo in IV, were a lot like Valhalla and the Tokyo Millenium in SMT II. Basically you had this giant pyramid like structure above the ravaged state of Tokyo, where a lawful society called Holytown thrived and took control of everything. The Samurai are basically the IV equivalent of Templar Knights. In general, there's a lot of references from I/II in IV.

Honestly I’d even settle for an Ameripan like Ace Attorney
I just want to see more settings than just Japan
I’ve seen the same overused maps of Japan so many times when I went there for vacation last year I recognized everywhere like I was a local

>Without summoning demons
I don't think that is possible considering that one boss who actively blocks non-demon attacks. But beside him, I would say it is possible but you are gonna need to have every skill and be a pretty damn high level.

Don’t exactly know but I’m hopeful that it’ll pop up soon. Gives me more time to catch up on my backlog.

Though I also want that sci-fi setting from 2 again in another entry.

Doesn't Persona 1 have retardedly hard final dungeon and boss?

Have fun, dude. I finished SJR not too long ago, and it was nice. Eridanus and Fornax are annoying, is all I'll say.

Yeh

That could work. I heard they they originally wanted SJ to take place in New York, or something. Basically any modern city would work.
It's true, we do need to leave Tokyo. It seems that the higher ups are stuck on it as a setting, though. They gotta at least let us travel through the Expanse again. I loved how Sci-Fi SMT II was.

All they would have to do is set it somewhere else besides Tokyo. A weird hick setting in Hokkaido, Pick one of the major fishing cites. There are other things to do in Japan. Tokyo is getting stale in general as a setting. Same thing as New York or LA.

It's the most solid package out of 3-5 but 3 has better highs and 5 is just depressingly average

English (is your) second language

This is true. At least expand to other locations in Asia as a whole. We have Hokkaido, Kyoto, Osaka, unironically China, and various other places. We could even go to the Middle East..

I am playing it for the first time and it's a big issue. The first 20 minutes in a new sector is (less) easy but then it's just snowballs until i run into a bad matchup

Nah, persona 4 beats it in everything

More than you think
People who played SMT before Persona constantly complain about non existent difficulty
Hell persona fags complained Persona Q was too hard despite the 1001 ways you could completely break the game

I played SJR on Expert without using passwords, and I'm getting my ass handed to me, left and right. I might hit the Womb of Grief and grind some levels, alongside fusion sources. I did Chaos the first time, so I'll slide through Law this time around and see how things differ. I wish the dialogue options weren't so dumb, though.

dae think digital devil sagas gameplay is boring as fuck? instead of interesting fusion and skill management you just get a super slow mantra grid and the games feel so repetitive. in smt mainline the strategy changes constantly as you get better demons and that keeps the game interesting to me.

I've always found it much more boring personally, mastering mantras feels nowhere near as fun as recruiting and fusing demons. I enjoy them but they're not like Nocturne or Strange Journey where I feel like I could start up a new file at any time.

I'd really enjoy an SMT spinoff, set in Europe. I imagine it'd have a similar feel like Raidou.

It could be very, very based. There's so much potential to tap into, but developing games is so expensive these days. Shame. I hope we get another era of spinoff titles though, due to the assets they'll be able to reuse from SMTV.

It would have been interesting, if you and your party could transform into specific demon races. It wouldn't be the same as the mainline, what with the fusion aspect and all, but you would have had more freedom to experiment. Although the Mantra System does let you experiment with moves, it's just not the same.

Am I retarded, or did DDS take place in America? Ah well, at least we weren't in Tokyo.

I want another demon companion in future SMT games like Pixie. It's gotta be a mascot figure though, or something badass and humanoid. Any suggestions?

People always say DeSu teaches you how to play mainline, but I don't see it. It replicates the fusion aspect nicely, but the combat is completely different. If anything, something like DDS would fit better.

Why'd you spoiler the SMT Thread text, when you already mentioned "Shin Megami Tensei" directly in the OP

Its mostly the fusion stuff it teaches you since press turn is so much more different than DeSu's system. The individual quirks of each game can be figured out but being adaptable and using fusion is what is really important with SMT

>but the combat is completely different.
You're still encouraged and rewarded to attack enemy weaknesses and to fuse smartly to cover your own.

Hmm, true.

I also want to mention that since you level up so quickly you're always encouraged to keep demons up to date

So I wouldn't mind if they gave the alignment reps more development so you can understand why they go off the deep end and actually make you sad when you have to kill them.

You aren't suppose to go there yet. Go to Yoshima Station, it'san undergroumd train station near Yoyogi Park, and some stuff with Sakahagi play out.

Sakahagi was so pointless.

I'm currently at the Astro-Space dungeon and my only issue with the game is that Magnetite management fucks me over.

Any advantages the new 3ds has over an original 2ds if I only want to play SMT?

the improved 3d is kinda nice for a minute until your eyes get too strained

I'll also never use the 3D

Trust me, it gets way better around the midpoint of the game. Keep getting in battles, and your Magnetite will always be great. You shouldn't keep a large party of demons, either. At the most, 2 extra.

I guess being able to natively play the SNES games is kinda cool if you hack it.

Where do I go in Megami Tensei 2 after Balaam?

then go 2d

Ah, thanks for the tips. I'll try that out

>original 2DS
don't do this

Why not?

you're aware that original 2DS refers to this garbage right?

Yeah but it's way cheaper and I thought it was the same as a 3DS

first of all, it can't fold

its fine because you can get them for so cheap

That doesn't look too comfortable to hold, I was also considering getting one

yeah you're better of getting normal 3DS or new 2DS

doorstopper-chan is cute!! also lewd!! her SD slot is easily accessible!! making piracy a cinch!!

>That doesn't look too comfortable to hold
Literally one of the most comfortable portables, as long as you don't have tiny ass hands this is miles better than a regular 3DSXL, I just wish it had a bigger screen.

>le smt doesn't have a focus on plot meme

Aside from that one boss (which your starting pixie can solo) the original game is pretty easy, no additional battles required. Can you think of any potential obstacles in the 3ds campaign?

it's just because there's a lot of kids whose first megaten game is devil survivor, since it was the first smt on the ds and 3ds. there's nothing actually good about it, and while it is easier than a regular smt game (sad considering srpgs are supposed to be more strategic) it doesn't really help you in mainline smt because you can't effortlessly spam holy dance to beat real smt games.

>there's nothing actually good about it
Shit taste you got there lad.
>it doesn't really help you in mainline smt because you can't effortlessly spam holy dance to beat real smt games.
You're right, mainline is even easier to break.

>tfw I'll never play another game that will match the atmosphere of SMT IV

why even live

>You don't get to know too much about Walter, Jonathan and Isabeau
yes you do. you don't get their backstories crammed down your neck but their characters are very pronounced. except for maybe the monkey.
Just cause you're not sticking your dick in the characters doesn't mean they aren't there
