Flawed perfection.
This is THE reason to own a 3DS.
Call it a mobile game or whatever, the quality of SMT shines through handheld limitations.

It can have horribly inconsistent art, wooden characters, a retarded difficulty curve and more problems, but what this game does right, it does masterfully.

Discuss.
>>
I have never actually finished it but I love it. I think it's a great entry in the series and I don't understand the buttfrustration over it. (Besides the SMIRK shit.)
>>
>>333654671
it's the little things like the UI that really shine
>>
>>333654810
The UI was actually what got me to pay attention to this game, as I had previously written it off for not being another Nocturne.
I've since played a lot more games in the series, and am no longer what many refer to as a Nocturne baby.
>>
Agreed. The setting, atmosphere and soundtrack are fucking great.
The difficulty curve was retarded and I didn't like all the the new shit they added/changed to the Press Turn system.

Just beat it the other day, got the neutral route by complete accident. Fucking incredible game, immediately one of my all time favorites. If I didn't have so much on my backlog I'd have been tempted to play through it again right then and there.

The world building is amazing. All the details and backstory you get by talking to NPCs and running around is on point. Also reading the descriptions for the relics never gets old. Music is 10/10. My only real gripe is no Kaneko and thats only because we havent seen him do literally anything in so long. Well outside of the DMC4SE cover but I dont know how that is supposed to work.

>Also reading the descriptions for the relics never gets old.
"Women's Toy" cracks me up every time. Skateboard's funny too.
>>
>>333654671
What does it do masterfully then?
I though it was alright, but I find it hard to enjoy turn-based JRPGs because they have a problem with non-boss encounters being pointless speed bumps/resource dispensers and nothing more.

From what little I've played of Nocturne, it seemed to buck this trend to some extent but SMTIV does not do this at all, it feels regressive in that way.
At least you can pretty easily ignore said encounters after they're no longer useful to you and hence have no purpose, though.
>>
This is the only SMT game I've finished or put more than a few hours into. I loved it. What SMT game should I head to next, given that info?
>>
>>333658996
Strange Journey is closer, Nocturne is great as well. Branch off to other games from there
>>
>>333658996

Would help to know what SMTs you've tried already. If you're not fond of dungeons and prefer focusing on combat/story, Devil Survivor Overclocked would be fantastic. If you want more dungeon exploration, Strange Journey (or Soul Hackers for an easier start) is also good.

Then why play a game in a genre you aren't a fan of? Complaining about a gameplay type that you don't enjoy seems silly. It doesn't invalidate your opinion, but it certainly makes it less credible since it's biased.

I miss the alignments, though. A single yes/no choice deciding your ending is a bit underwhelming for SMT.
Unless you count those token Law and Chaos endings that make practically no sense and come out of nowhere.

Playing it right now, just got to the part where Walter joins Yuriko and Lucy. There are definitely some major issues (physical skills costing MP is fucking stupid, some demon redesigns are shit, side characters are as badly written as SMT3s and other mainline ones were) but the boss fights and grinding feel quite rewarding however it can drag on like SMT3 did but at least there aren't illusionary dead ends all the time popping up.
>>

There's some weird about XP curve in this game.
In IV. I wandered around a lot, constantly got lost and experimented with fusions all the time. Also got the neutral route which meant even more fucking around. I ended the game at level 75~.
In Final I was going straight after side and main quests (I really appreciate the change in side quests being sent directly to you when you meet their level requirement) and still ended up hitting 99 halfway through the final dungeon.
>>
>>333668778

I'd love to play a game that basically takes SMT's general attitude (especially the negotiations) and mixes all types of art media together to make a weird bizzarro world, but that thing didn't belong in IV.

well since yhvh is level 100 I guess they wanted you to be max level on purpose

I guess it's something new since you'll rarely come close to 90 in any other title unless you've been grinding

Merkabah and Lucifer in IV were 99. It's basically the same with YVHV, except he's 100. It's just for the show.

fair enough. Most end bosses are level 99 in other games too now that I think about it.

Maybe they just wanted you to actually get to use the end game demons, since in other games you'll finish well before you get access to them

The difficulty curve isn't retarded the game is easy as fuck after the first boss. Also the art is inconsistent because they didn't have Kaneko do the demon design.

I doubt there are people like that. No matter how much you hate their tone, you can still get your fix of megaten gameplay from P3 and P4.

Haven't played Shin Megami Tensei yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I've played Persona 1 and 2 which were nice, the first is my favorite though 2 had a pretty interesting story (at least, Innocent Sin did). Trying to play Persona 3 right now, but it's boring me. I'm hoping something will click later because I've been looking forward to the fourth since everyone seems to love it so much. If I can't stand 3 though, I probably shouldn't play 4.

After that though it's SMT time which I'm pretty interested in.
>>
>>333671047
>I doubt anyone sane would grind 3000 on those.

This is the entire point of the DLCs, I can't even imagine the time that I will have to use to grind everything from scratch to 99 level, even if you have the app of taking macca from demon fully upgraded it will take you hundred of hours to achieve what you can get from about 30 minutes of grinding.

The DLCs are mandatory if you are one of those min/max autists, thankfully if you just want to see the story content they are largely unnecessary.

I actually like running around Tartarus even if it isn't great. Not really enthused with all the stuff about that school tournament in August, but hopefully it'll pick up later. I know people seem to love the social links and I honestly haven't done a lot of them yet, just Kenji, the guy in the sutdent council, working on Chihiro and... I think that's it, I should start some more of them. It's definitely not like the old Personas, but that's why I'm interested in SMT, I've heard that Persona 1 and 2 (especially the first game) is fairly similar to SMT. I liked the dark music and plots and even the first person dungeon crawling.

Is the Demon Summoner games the Japanese only ones where you play as a detective? Or maybe that was Devil Summoner? I've heard that the first Devil Summoner was pretty interesting on paper but pretty shitty when actually playing the game, though Soul Hackers is apparently fairly good.

Looked it up myself. There was an anon who posted about the English name, Japanese audio-only release, and other changes before the game got re-revealed in a Direct. It mentioned that Atlus is localizing, but not publishing.

One of the most retarded difficulty curves in any game I can think of. At first it starts off a little rough, as one might expect in a SMT mainline game, and then you have the fight with Minotaur that teaches you buffs are important. Then everything after that is a cake walk.

Nice to have an SMT IV appreciation thread and I agree, it's definitely a flawed masterpiece.
It has minor problems like demon designs and annoying battle tweaks, but the setting and music are really something special.

I started with persona 4 but this game is what really got me into the series.
Would recommend IV as a good starting point to anyone interested in SMT.

>a retarded difficulty curve

I've never played an SMT that started out this brutal in the beginning. I'm just trying to experiment with my monsters and the first area is just slapping my ass with monsters one shooting me. And I'd like to save up money for more equipment, but they barely drop cash and I end up having to waste it on beads and other healing items just to kill some monsters a few rounds so I can get some exp.

Am I doing something wrong?

MH is mediocre if you delved into the series previously. It can only fasinate for so long. Still good, but really pays tribute to the lack of action and quality on the 3DS.

That's normal. After the second major boss, the difficulty starts nosediving.

It is though. Its a below average grindfest because Japan cannot into MMOs.

It simply has too much repetition and shallow gameplay when you get deeper into the game. Its just an action game that overstays its welcome. Each iteration is a lower experience than the last.

I sort of wish there were a fourth, bad ending where you actually do escape after Oroborous is killed. Obviously, that would leave the rest up to Jack's Squad and almost certainly wind up destroying the world, but it'd be a neat addition like the Dragon ending of Cave Story. Also, it would stop a lot of crew from dying or becoming demons.

the problem with /v/ is that when you think a game is total shit the board will just think you're trolling / shitposting, but...

I really did think SMTIV was total shit and if it hadn't been for the dedicated fanbase telling me 'it gets better' I would never have pushed on to the ending (got neutral by chance)

the press turn battle system is about a decade out of date and was never good. it's nothing but trash.
>>
>>333654748
SMIRK and all battles being hyperoffensive fests since there is no defense stat. A few new designs are also absolute shit, like Asmodeus. Other than that it was great, especially the voice acting?

Was this some of the best voice acting in the previous gen? The demons were fucking unnerving, as they should be.

Gameplay is entirely one dimensional. Hust hit an enemies weak spot and win. The waifus are ok but dialogue gets repetitive fast. Your children have a set level cap though so you constantly need to have more kids to replace the capped ones who can run out of use. All in all I'd rate it a 4/10. Its not a "bad" game but it certainly needs improvement. Like >>333684684 said pick it up on sale if you want it.
