Is this actually going to be good?
All the recycled environments from SMTIV and the fact that there's only 2 routes has me worried.

I adored SMTIV for its atmosphere; the game was by no means as good as Nocturne, SJ, and damned well not SMT2, but it had a lot of charm and a unique flavor to it.
Apocalypse gives me a very mixed and uncomfortable vibe and I'm afraid it might be spreading itself too thin with all this talk of YHVH, Flynn the Godslayer, and so on.

Sell me, weebos!

As someone who's first SMT game is SMTIV, when does this get good? I just beat Issachar last night, and I legitimately felt nothing when he died. I've wanted to start this series since the announcement of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, as the latter is my favorite game series of all time. Also, why have people told me to side with Walter when he's obviously a fucking villain? The opening told me that
>>
It is not good.
>>
>>342544828
>>342544849
There are 4 routes but two of them are basically early game overs like the White ending in 4
Also from what I've seen the game looks like it's gonna be pretty great. Someone post the map of the teleport maze clusterfuck that is the final dungeon please
>>
Its SMT 4, but improved

If you don't like 4 then you will not like this

Certain skills have additional effects when the user is under the Smirk status. For example, Light and Dark spells now primarily inflict damage which are effective against boss as well, but their instant death effect only activates during Smirk; "King Bufula", an all-enemy moderate ice attack which is exclusive to King Frost will debuff defense in addition during Smirk.

The negotiation system has been updated, notably the same demon who has abandoned the previous negotiation will take up where the talk has left off, instead of merely starting the negotiation all over again.

Demons using magic they specialize in will deal more damage or cost fewer MP, the resultant enhancements on skills are similar to ranking up skills of the previous protagonist via Whisper event.

Estoma now creates a barrier around Nanashi and has a shortcut to it on the menus.

User interface has been enhanced completely:
Ability to rearrange skill order of the protagonist or each demon.
Added an icon to denote if the enemy demon has been registered in the Demonic Compendium.
Fusion search can be specified to a range of levels. (1~9, 10~19, etc.)
Next destination of the quest is denoted in the map with a red flag icon.
Partner will recommend the player to persuade a demon who has not been registered yet.
Obtaining a relic will prompt its expected selling price.
Ability to zoom in or out in the overhead world.

Demons now hum or roar while attacking or hurt (similar to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne).

>>342545605
The characters are fucking boring in SMTIV.
You don't play it for character development, because in every single SMT game all of your friends die before you reach the final boss.

If atmosphere and mythology are not your thing then this game is not for you.

That's cool. The Persona localizations seemed pretty good from what I've seen, honorifics aside, so I hoped the SMT localizations would be good as well. Persona is actually one of the reasons I'm a bit burned out on playing in Japanese, they have so much damn dialogue (3 and 4 anyway. 1 and 2 didn't really bother me).

It's nowhere near as hard as SJ. the hardest dungeon in IV would be the easiest dungeon in III or SJ.

The overworld map is more of a challenge to navigate than IV's dungeons. The difficulty in IV comes from the enemies being able to hit so hard. Eventually you get to a point where that doesn't really matter either.

Yeah but that was because of getting smirked. From what I've seen the reviewers are having trouble with the actual dungeon puzzles (which SMT IV barely had compared to Nocturne and especially SJ).

It has the edgiest ending in the series.

>>
>>342558084
One okay ending doesn't make the other three endings disappear. And it's still pretty stupid and arguably presented in a way that makes it seem like the wrong choice. What with the glowing eyes, the parallels Nanashi has with YHVH, and all that. It really doesn't help that they also managed to make IV's chaos and law endings even less satisfying and more about wanking how special Nanashi is.

Final is fanfic shit.

Lol no

To be fair from what I've seen some of them aren't that bad. Two of them are in shelters with no enemies, so you can do it without being reasonably conscious of what you are doing. The rest are obnoxious though, especially chemtrail.

Raidou is not SMT.
Start with Nocturne, IV or DDSI-II.
Or with Persona 3 if you'll find yourself hard to enjoy random encounters at time.
Dropped Nocturne myself one time after shitsona because it looked boring to me at first. Tried DDS afterwards and it grew up on me in like first 4 hours.

Sorry I wont search for videos right now just to prove something to blind fanboy that will buy this crap on release dubbed anyway. If you're really interested then just lurk for pretty much any videos with Hallelujah and Toki or any cutscene with Asahi.

They're at least 60% of the game if not more. I tried giving them a chance, but they're just not my thing. Persona 3 and up are for people who want social simulators but don't know what VNs are.

SMT IV is best enjoyed as a love letter to the old games but still using modern hardware yet not having the actual lore or interest of the older games since the art direction and voice acting and story are complete ass in IV.
