Is this game good? I'm looking for a dark and edgy JRPG and I heard this one was the king. Is it worth $10 on PSN?

It is definitely the king of dark and edgy, 10 bucks is good but the PSN version isnt the best framerate wise

Oh yeah, the gameplay is god tier. It has some goofy dialogue here and then though, it's not 100% dark and edgy.

I unironically believe that P3 and/or P4 are excellent entry points.

The problem is with how many anons sink into these games, deny the existence of everything else, and spend the rest of their lives waifuposting and whinning about how other games don't have compelingâ„¢ dating sim mechanics and a calendar system.

4 is easily the weakest game story-wise out of the mainline SMT, I'd go as far as to say that even P3 and 4 has a better story than IV.

The writing for IV was pretty good and took a steep dive after they settled in Tokyo, there were some cool moments but its pants on head retarded most of the time.

I know this is a hard concept for someone with patrician tastes like yourself to grasp but....a lot of people enjoy looking at their games and there's not a lot of eye candy in ancient menu based shit.

Yes it's a good game and yes I have played it but the average newcomer is not going to be wowed by a wall of text dotted with sprites that barely move. The furthest I'd ever recommend going back with this series is Persona 2.

>Demon negotiations lead to me never getting a new demon without huge investment
Not all demons will respect you if you give them whatever they want. Some will actually like you better if you say no. You sometimes get into a battle with a demon asking you a question or outright joining you. Sometimes before you kill a demon they will give up and ask that you take them along instead. You might not be able to get all of the demons without spending money/items but you can easily beat the game without giving anything. While the game don't hold your hand it pretty much always toss you a demon or two every so often assuming you fuse enough. You can't get more demons if you have a full party and if you already own a demon of the same name they can't join and just give an item instead even though it would been a guaranteed join otherwise.

No, you are the one who needs to get better.

Use buffs and debuffs, and don't be a beta who gives everything the demons demand.

My personal rule of thumb for giving money/items for negotiations. If the money is something I can get in like one good battle then sure why not? If the items is something I already have like 60+ of (you get flooded with life stones even with min luck stat) then sure why not? If they ask me for more money than what the battle is even worth then I will tell them to fuck off, if they ask for a soma or something then they can easily fuck off. Sometimes demons will still join even if you repeatedly tell them no. I think it increase the odds just slightly honestly depending on the demon.

Also always answer the question as you would really answer it. That way you can remember what choices you had made. Only select the other choice if you want to see their other dialog. Giving the answer that "they want to hear" never works, it is completely random and they will have an excuse to not to join you regardless of the answer.

Art direction is a huge part of gaming. You play games as an escape from reality and part of immersing yourself in the game's reality is being able to appreciate the art. There's not a lot to appreciate in smt 1.

SMT is a story-heavy JRPG, yes, the graphics are dated. But it paints such a clear picture of what's going on that you can fill the blanks with your imagination.

If you think that SMT is a bad game because there's no pretty pictures, then it's clear you're a fucking idiot that can't read anything but picture books.

You say it as if SMT didn't have a godly art direction.
Take into consideration that all the demon designs from SMT are the OG ones, since they were first drawn as sprites, and then turned into concept art for future games.

You just need to say this out loud to save you the bother: "this game looks old to me, so I'm not gonna play it".

What?

>>336182782

But I did play it, arguing this doesn't change the fact that the game looks horribly dated.

We're not arguing what people who have played all the games and liked them think....my point is that the newer ones would be better recommendations for someone entering the series because (gasp) dated art is a turnoff to some people.

>>336182909

They have other things (like the attack animations and voice acting) to back them up.


That said it is kind of depressing that we haven't gotten a full blown 3D mainline game since 3. I want to see >>336182794 cast death flies in HD please.

The point of this thread is to help someone who wants to get into the series though....you're actively fighting that.

There's a reason the newer games are considered "entry level". It's because you start there and then play the old ones if you liked what you saw.

2-3 hours if the game doesn't grab me and I have other shit going on.

Yet the CD audio on YouTube doesn't. Go listen to it

Either the game limits sample rate to 22.1 KHz vs the CD 44.1 KHz, or thy were just straight up retarded.

It's a game where you can punch nearly every deity out there in the face. With zero fucks given. It's also the first SMT game that was translated, so it holds a special place in a lot of people's hearts.
