Can we take a moment to appreciate the art of various demons appearing in SMT?
I'm with you anon. They're seriously so cool
I want to appreciate Scathach'sthighs with my penis!.
Will she ever be in another game?

I've never played SMT or Persona. How do I get into the series?
Not a demon but still fuckin cool

Watch the OG digital devil story anime it's on yt. Then play the smt games in order if you want.
Soul hackers and Radio are fine to.

If you into emulating you can start from Shin Megami Tensei for Super Famicom (never released in US but there are fan translations). If you're a normal person you can start the mainline series with Nocturne for PS2 and move on to IV and so on. You won't be lost if you start with any of those.
The spin-offs like Persona have little to do with the mainline games. All the Persona games have been remade for modern consoles. If you have a Playstation Vita or PSTV you can play all the Persona games in order. Once again you don't have to but I recommend you start with Persona 3 if you want to skip the older ones.P3 and P4 are both on PS2 classics on the Playstation store but they're the vanilla versions.
There's some other series like Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner and Devil Survivor. DDS and Devil Survivor are worth playing and are for the PS2/DS respectively
Why is all the fan-art of SMT of the shitty humans instead of the based demons.

That's basically how mythical creatures work. Look at the Egyptian gods, for example.
>>343372638

So Japanese people of today are less creative than Egyptians from 5000 years ago?

It seems like you will never understand humans in general either
Do everyone a favour and say hi to pic related
>>343372882

But in all seriousness this creature is actually a part of Japanese folklore and they even parade with it
>>343372882
That is accurate to whatever the fuck the story of Mara is from
He rode around in a garish chariot wearing the guise of a massive dick to try and distract the Buddha and prevent him from reaching enlightenment
>>343372830
There were no dragons posted m8
How about half-demons?
>>343372983
Seriously ingenious design. Was this Doi or Kaneko's work?
>>343372830
>not Sun Wukong
That IS Sun Wukong.
He's known as Sun Wukong, Wu Kong, and Seiten Taisei
>>343372882
Kaneko loves his dicks
>>343372915
Because the word used to be a catchall for any type of supernatural entity.
>>343373040
Well what do you think a demon is supposed to resemble?
>>343372952
"A giant man made of wicker used in human sacrifices by druids of ancient Celtic descent. The sacrifice was held inside, then the wicker man would be set ablaze. Some tales describe the passerby stumbling across the remains wondering how they got burned. Other druid methods of human sacrifice included drowning men in barrels of water, hanging men from trees and shooting men with arrows."

>>343373450
No, but not much has changed. He's hunting the Demifiend much like Dante was. The difference is unlike Dante, Raidou is not worthless and is worth taking into the end game.

"A demon based on a conspiracy theory concerning the trail of clouds made by airplanes. Also called contrails, these trails of cloud are produced by the water vapor released by hot exhaust of airplanes at high altitudes where it is cold, which produces these trails of clouds. It is theorized that some lethal or intentionally placed chemicals are put in the trails for unknown purposes kept secret from the majority, such as to increase global warming or ruin the land. "

>>343375160
I'm pretty sure it's a special fusion.
>>343375160
Yes, she's a special fusion at level 76
>>343375232

>>343375253
>>343375254
Excellent, even if that's hours away I can't wait. SMTIV is my first SMT game, I've never been able to play through games like before but I just sat down and went for it and I'm loving it.

>>343375345
The music and the world building is amazing to add on to why I'm enjoying it.

Currently running around Tokyo, finished up some stuff around Ueno. I almost feel like starting out in a castle/medieval society and heading down into Tokyo might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a game.

thank you anon
Lucifer and Satan should get updated artworks already, for being two of the most important demons in the series I can't believe Kaneko never redrew them.
>>343375623
I just got ripped apart by that guy because I didn't expect to get thrown right into another battle right after the last pack of demons.

maken
>>343376195
Haha, so I purchased the game at release then left it in a box up until a week ago so that's probably the reason. I didn't pay attention to any of the marketing and just went in completely blind, I had listened to the OST a few weeks ago and was shocked at how good it was and knew I had to start playing. When I left Naraku and realized I was in Tokyo I just sat there floored at how fucking cool that was.

Go chaos for your first playthrough, it's gonna make shit a lot less painful

> Fighting the boss (no spoilers) after you choose to be Chaos
Neutral route is the easiest to go through. For his butthurt though? Probably Chaos.
>>343380227
>Game uses classic Kikuri-hime, classic Nekomata, or Soul Hackers Thor instead of their Nocturne designs.
I hate it when they do this.
>>343380692
>Neutral route is the easiest to go through
Bruh
>tfw you gotta fuse your hot demons for fucking ugly beast things
It's not fair man
>>343380593Not that anon, but my first run through the game I went Law, killed Gore after struggling with him for a good hour, and then saw that it basically consisted of mindbreaking the entirety of humanity. One reload and a few dozen hours later, M A happened and I just fucking dropped the game forever. Who thought either of those bosses were a good idea?

Mem Aleph is one of the hardest JRPG bosses I've ever fought
>>343380764
Yes, but you have time to grind and prepare for the rapefest. With Chaos and Law, it just throws the shit at you with no warning. And at that point, you don't have the strongest demons in the game.
