Playing SMT IV. Only about to go after the Black Samurai in Naruku so not that far in. Any advice on what I should focus on? I'm going full magic. This is my first SMT game and going to try out the other after.

I started playing Nocturne some time ago, just beat Dante and so far I'm still not that impressed with the game.

It feels so lifeless and the plot is moving so slow, but I'll keep pushing it since I always had this shame of never playing it before.

if you beat the minotaur you will have no problems with any of the other bosses.

just make sure you can buff and debuff and you will be fine.

Funny I actually beat him. Wasn't that hard but right after I got ambushed by demons that both used mazio (for whatever the group zio is) and one of my demons was weak to it.

But that's alright, since they lose a turn to do it.

>>255020189

It's your fault tho, you gotta think with caution and not set every party member tactic to attack. Or if you do so, be carefull and give them elemental based weapons, such as the fire sword to Junpei. That way, even if the attack is reflected, nothing will happen to him

You know, I used to be a rabid SMT fan but looking back, the persona series is just more entertaining. I've played through SMT 3 and IV and watched playthroughs of 1 and 2. 1 and two are boring as shit, the only SMT games that are actually more entertaining than even PErsona 3 and 4 are SMT IV and Strange Journey.

Strange Journey was fucking brilliant; the pacing wasn't slow as fuck and there was always a tense and eerie air about the schwarzshit.

SMT IV felt more like a standard jrpg, because it wasn't so damn lonely, you always had either the law or chaosfag following you around. The story was pretty good the first time around.

Strange Journey and Persona 3 and 4 just keep me coming back to rewatch scenes all the time.

Dude, is story everything you care about?

>>255029662
I'd recommend Nocturne more due to all the fusions and optional stuff, DeSu might feel a bit stale after a while specially during battles.
>>
>>255029662
They both play completely differently.
If you want to ease in with a more animesque world, go with DeSu.
>>
>>255029662
DeSu is very different from other Megaten games since it's an SRPG, but it's still very good.
Nocturne's battle system is more similar to P3 and P4, though less forgiving, so it makes a good transition game as well.

I like a good balance of story and gameplay and my gripe was that SMT I and II were overtly weighed in the direction of gameplay. Usually that's not bad. I can take a game that's mostly gameplay and little story if it's fun. But the gameplay just consists of walking through bland ass corridors and grinding

From what I saw, the guy had to stop and grind a bunch and fast forwarded those parts.

Also, you can't tell me IV was harder than I and II. IV was BABY tier shit and I beat it before any completed guides were even around

Nocturne wasn't even that bad, either.

I'm speaking of the normal difficulty though

I agree, I went into the game expecting to get sodomised the whole way through and it just never happened. Even Lucifer wasn't particularly difficult, just a ridiculous damage sponge that took ages to kill. The hardest boss I've yet fought in an SMT game, Persona or otherwise, has probably been Shadow Kanji.

Raidou 1 and 2 have real-time combat instead of turn based. Instead of negotiating with demons you capture them in these little tube things. You can also have your demons accompany you in the real world and use them to do certain things, such as having them fly to reach areas you can't get to, read minds, etc.

>>255031127
I actually got it for a really good deal on Ebay. You still might be able to find it for pretty cheap.

>>255031406
At the moment, it's Raidou 1. The combat is not good but everything else I like, especially dem pre-rendered backgrounds. Though my opinion may change since I still need to play Soul Hackers, SMT1/2, both Devil Survivor games, and Persona 1 and 2.

You probably won't like it, it isn't a VN with shitty dungeon crawling.
Strange Journey is glorious.
Nocturne is a very solid experience.
SMT 1 and 2 are really damn good once you get used to them, really all that's aged are the graphics.
>>
>>255031658
DDS is a smaller and easier entry-level game than Nocturne, play both.
Strange Journey is great, but you might feel intimidated by the mechanics, environment and stuff. It's more enjoyable when you already know what to expect from the series.
>>
>>255031658
They are all really good. Some people feel 2 is the best if you can get past a few issues. If you want to play something new both Nocturne and IV are good. DDS is basically babies first SMT but still really good. And Strange Journey is amazing. Really just pick one and try it out. Like Persona buffs and debuffs rule the world.

I raised a Parvati up to about level 80, I think. Although it wasn't just that I was particularly fond of her (although I kinda was by the end), it was more that she had a great complement of buffs and debuffs and I couldn't find a fusion that preserved all the ones I wanted to keep. Eventually fused her into a Mithra, though.

Scathach is the fucking cutest, and probably my all-round favourite demon in general, but I wound up evolving her into Skadi because the boss lead me to believe she voided physical and I needed something that did at the time. She's still with me as High Pixie, though.

All SMT/Persona games are hard at the start. Since you don't have any spells or abilities to really help you. Once you got to the point where you have a larger selection of demons every game is easy if you know what to use.

Either you're wrong or SMT I and II were piss easy and I'm very inclined to believe the former.

You can fucking CHOOSE which skill demons inherit. The game is inherently easier because of this simple fact alone.
If you put all of your points into MAG you were an unstoppable juggernaut. You must have put shit into STR.

Both are nice choices. I say DDS 1 and 2 to get a good handle of the Pass Turn system. It's also one of the easiest games out of all of their games. Since you can switch abilities and other things whenever you want outside of battle. Just takes a while to get them. Focus on Hunter skills first and get the ability to stop stomachache and you should be fine.

Runs at about the speed of my PS2 version which is obviously slower where I hear it's supposed to run at the speed of DDS2 which had a 60Hz mode.
