I'm playing through Strange Journey for the first time, and it's so much more engaging than SMT IV was. Despite being seven years old, I think this is my GOTY
When is the game getting hard, though? Right now I'm in sector D, yet I'm breezing through it with my perfectly aligned party. I can't remember dying more than a couple of times

Many people had problem with final boss in Eridanus (though I managed to beat him after 2 tries). F throws some nasty shit, but nothing too hard if you're playing smart.
G is... G is hell. It was really exhausting, you really had to manage your resources. Yeah.
It's gonna get harder
>>336003476
Is there any reason to use demons outside of your alignment? Coop is so broken.
>>336003836
Final boss of the neutral route has a move that returns demons of specific alignment to your stockwhich she never used on me once.
Other than that, no.
>>336000532hi
Help me, I'm stuck at the last boss.
The demons in the last area give shit exp and the team that carried me this last part aren't doing so good.
Any foolproof advice? I dropped the game about two months ago, but want to finish it properly.
>>336005009
Remove demons from your party and solo grind somewhere close to a heal and save spot.
That's what I did when I wanted to fuse Shiva.
>>336005668
God bless you anon, I had this game on the back of my head all this time.

>>336005009
I grinder with Surts in the area near the last boss as I can just press auto battle. I went from 70 to 90 very quickly.
If you want to try something different, look for a password for an Alice with Jihad.

>>336005009
Get low level demons that reflect all elements.
>>336006854
Haha, I remember this. This is very cheap.
>plan to go law
>realize it's shit so switch to neutral at the very last second
>realize that training up a new party is going to take forever
Oh fuck me. Now I lost all will to go on.
>>336007331
>training
Just fuse some shit nigger
How is SJ as a first SMT game? I bought it along with Nocturne a few days ago and I don't know which to start with.
>>336007413
I don't have a particularly good stock for fusing neutrals. Although I suppose I could look up a guide and go from there.

i really like the beginning of the game. i felt very engaging but the music and combat is pure shit so i never finished it
>>336007513
I prefer SJ to Nocturne, but Nocturne was nice for its time. They're not really that related story or setting wise. The fusion system is easier to manage in SJ, that's for sure, so going back to Nocturne after doing SJ might feel like a chore.
>>336007513
SJ was my first SMT discounting P4 but i've never played Nocturne. Just start on which ever appeals to you. Be prepared for tedious dungeon crawling in SJ though.
>>336007647
wow you really showed us
fighting stuff that's meant to be fought around 50 with a level 99 demon that you bought
>getting my dick kicked in by Asura because he makes my party fight amongst itself
>fuck these assholes I don't need no PHONY GODS OR DEMONS to do my fighting
>he may be huge but that just means he has huge guts for me to rip and tear
>solo him
>it goes remarkably well
>fighting ouroboros phase 2
>not doing very well
>decide fuck it, healing these assholes is taking too long and they die as fast as i can shove revival beads up their ass, they go all out on damage and I do the same
>it goes remarkably well
doomguy ain't as independantly capable as demifiend but damn if he can't get shit done anyways
>>336008524
>bought
lmao learn to fuse nigger
>>336008592
dumbshit
the demon is higher level than the MC in that video
>>336007513
>played SMT1 as my first SMT
I regret nothing. Autoing all battles with nerve shells was more fun than constantly fearing getting smirkstomped in IV.
The Neutral Path's story in SJ was fucking amazing.
I feel like combat was more engaging in SJ than SMT4 because SJ actually fought back a bit. SMT4s notorious easyness made it dull after awhile even with Press Turns around.
Thank god the battle music was killer or I might have been in trouble with completing it.
>>336003836
Final boss of Neutral and Law will destroy you with a move that returns all demons of a specific alignment. That's it though
I've considered picking up strange journey in the past however I didnt like soul hackers even though I liked every other SMT game I played.
I prefer third person SMT games, should I bother with this one?
>tfw no fan translation of the sega cd SMT ever
>>336009751
Was it specifically the 1st person that bothered you? I know some people dislike the game for feeling 'archaic' in some ways because it was originally a Sega Saturn and PlayStation 1 game.
>>336009751
IDK if this will help but i'm in the same boat as you, i've loved mostly everything but soul hackers and I think SJ is the best SMT. SMT4 I was pretty lukewarm about.
>>336007513
Both SJ and Nocturne are great. Start with SJ if you prefer first person dungeon crawlan.
>>336000532
you don't understand what GOTY means

>tfw smt NINE will never be finished

I didn't care for the first person but the combat played a bigger role in why I didn't like it.
I felt like I had little control over what goes on during combat and the MC couldnt use any magic.
>>336010465
I loved SMT4 personally the combat is really fast paced and fun.
>>336010162
Gameplay is garbage.
