Do i need to play smtiv to understand this One?
>>341025723
Yes. This game starts towards the end of SMTIV then branches off from that
>>341025838
But The settings looks completally diffent!
>>341026071
Dunno what to tell you anon
>>341026071
No it doesn't
It's the same fucking setting
What are you smoking
>>341026071
It's the same setting and characters from IV return. Might as well play it while you wait for this one to come out.
>>341026550
>>341026505
I'm guessing he's hinting thatMikado is featured prominently in the first 6 hours of SMTIV while Apocalypse features Tokyo from the get go
>>341026641
I see. OP you idiot leave the thread now.
>>341025723
Not really, but you should anyway
>>341026641
but the back of the box shows tokyo
>>341027249
And?
>>341027249
>Digital copy
that's my guess
Of course its like a direct continuation of the neutral route
>>341025723
You don't have to, but it's recommended.
>>341025723
No, but you really should. SMTIV doesn't cost much now, and it's a fantastic game with a couple rough edges. You'll get a lot more out of Final if you play IV first, and will appreciate the improvements to this entry.
What difficulty to play SMTIV on?
First time, first mainline SMT game (played Persona)
>>341028681
Master
>>341028681
Normal difficulty, try to not give up during the first couple of hours till you get to Tokyo, after that the game is ez pz
>>341028681
Normal for the first few hours because of the jarring difficulty in Naraku
Switch it up when you get past that point because otherwise it'll be shallow
>>341029689
You cant switch it up first playthough
Hoy
>>341030389
Yes you can
>>341028681
>first mainline SMT game
Hoy anon. Drop the zero and come play with the Hero
>>341028681
Normal the whole way since you don't unlock hard until beating the game.
>>341030891
>DS game
Into the trash
>>341031015
nice bait
>>341031015
Not him, but if you don't like SJ, you ain't no friend of mine
>>341030891
Strange Journey is great, but IV is the best game to ease into mainline.
>>341031015
>Ds game
>Into the trash
Hey faggot, did you just imply Strange Journey, Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor 2 are shit?
>>341031015
DS is the best platform for SMT games after PS2
>>341031234
3DS, you mean.
>>341030570
You can only switch it down for the first time through after you die twice. I can pull up one of my save files to check if you don't believe me (Or if you know I'm wrong.)
>>341031319
3DS is the best at this point.
>>341025723
>cant side with the polytheistic alliance
One fucking job Atlus
>>341031530
Oh shit, that was what I was thinking of
Looks like SMT has embrace waifus
>>341031659
>inb4 SMTV takes place in high school
>>341027249
FUCKING ATLAS DIDN'T GIVE ME THE OPTION OF A PHYSICAL COPY YOU FAT CUNT FUCK YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>341031715
This would be perfectly fine if it unfolds like Nocturne and you get a good taste of the normal high school schtick before shit gets fucked.
I just hope they'd actually make the characters more developed than Isamu/Chiaki
>>341031593
It's really stupid that they did it that way, because even if you do start a new game as fresh as possible the fact that you start off with some apps unlocked already makes it easy. Obviously more so if you choose to carry over as much as you possibly can.
>>341031909
I feel like Walter and Jonathan hit the sweet spot for presence that's needed for alignment reps. I just hope their descent into faggotry is written better in V.
I know Final has character arcs and shit, but I don't want that stuff in SMT. The games were never about the characters. They were always about what the characters represented. Leave that kind of thing to literally every other JRPG.
>>341031715
If it's p2 style highschool I'm all for it

>>341032235
Yeah, I agree. I just think Isamu and Chiaki are way too bland even for SMT characters. They're both inane cunts and don't really amount to much in the grand scheme of things
>>341032357
I agree with you there. Most of Nocturne's endings were quite bland as well. People say IV's were unsatisfying, but holy fuck even if I liked the premise behind some of them they were so underwhelming.
>>341032608
I will say one thing. Nocturne was a fucking fantastic "world-building" game. I feel like most of its focus was on the world instead of the characters.
>>341032608
The endings aren't supposed to be very spectacular - you know what you're gonna get.
HOY
>>341031715
>>341031909
Niggers this already happened
>>341032791
I forgot about If. Blame Gideon Zhi and his lazy ass for not letting me experience that
>>341032691
Definitely, the atmosphere was great and so was the gameplay. Atmosphere/world-building is what SMT excels at I think. Atlus should continue focusing on that instead of making quirky characters and a story to match, because that's what makes SMT unique.I wish IV had more interesting bosses like Nocturne and better dungeons like SJ. It would have been perfect.
>>341032791
is if mainline
>>341032791
NEVER EVER
>>341032787
That's a new one.
>>341032984
yes
>>341026113
>>341032984
It's got SMT in the title where it matters.
>>341032984
just as mainline as SJ i guess. its also the branching that lead into Persona
Are you guys ready to doki doki the Toki?Sorry, but it's not a question. Toki is gonna doki you, and have many of your children. Whether you like it or not!
>>341033571
This is why I worry about the future of mainline.
>>341033657
meh its not that bad.not him but I already played IVFinal and the focus on characters just make it feel like Soul Hackers at most. I can live with that. hopefully it wont go full Social Links
>>341033657
Don't worry, it's only temporary. They were almost having an adult protag this time, I'm guessing they're saving it for SMT V so this game is more like IV.
>>341033657
>Implying there will be a future for smt "mainline"
>Implying persona isn't the true mainline
You are underestimating the power of weeb pandering
>>341033069
I love this type of images, got more?
>>341033841
>so this game is more like IV.
IV had an older cast than IVA though. That's not really what worries me anyway.
>>341033815
>hopefully it wont go full Social Links
After watching FE and Purseowner go full waifu pandering I can't help but feel uneasy about what IVA's done. Teach me how to be optimistic like you.
>>341034141
Adults automatically means less waifu- and uguu-shit, I'm pretty sure. Also, aren't they around the same age as Flynn and co?
>>341034467
No, Nanashi is Japanese middle school age (15) and Asahi, Toki, and I think Hallelujah are around there as well. Younger than any protagonist besides Aleph since they're usually high school aged (the samurai are 18 for example), who doesn't really count because he doesn't look his age I'd say.
>>341033657

>>341034923
why is breast envy so entertaining?
>>341034141
>Teach me how to be optimistic like you.
Well... I already played and finished all the MT games besides the online game and Digital Devils Story MTII because fuck that game, so im already accustomed to the series changing.It might not look like it but the tone from the first Megami Tensei to the latest once is way different, I also doubt they would turn mainline into full waifu pandering , since thats one of Persona's selling point (and I can bet my left nut they know it). And besides that. its not like i didnt enjoy FE Awakening or Fates or im not exicted for Persona 5. So all in all. ill just leave it to Atlus to handle it. if they fuck it up, its not like the older games are going to dissapear. and theres a shitload of Megami Tensei games to replay
>>341035230
>since thats one of Persona's selling point (and I can bet my left nut they know it)
Funny enough, that's what worries me. They know it works with Persona, so I wouldn't be surprised if they tried stuffing that garbage into mainline to try and get it to sell more.
>>341031909
SMT1 did that way better, where you actually got involved in apocalyptic stuff from normal life and progressed to a real apocalypse.
Nocturne's is really trash for a setup and setting compared to it.
Look how happy they look.
Why would you want them to kill eachother?
>>341035895
Because it's a SMT game.
>>341035895
God I can't wait to kill them all and make Nozomi my demi-gods breeding machine.
>>341035895
This is the future of SMT games
>>341037585
I embrace it.
>>341035694
I guess there's a reason they're kept apart.
when will smt use 3d models for demons?
>>341039658
Whenever they decide to make one for home consoles again
>>341037585
>>341039748
>This Epic is NOT Sweet
what the actual fuck did they mean by this
>>341040351
the other ending, i guess
