So, what are your thoughts on Shin Megami Tensei 4?
The gameplay is kind of a mess. It feels like they didn't have time to balance certain aspects of it like the fusion system.
The new demon designs don't match at all with Kaneko's.
The OST is mostly fucking great but it has some annoying or boring tracks.
Exploring Tokyo was fun, fuck casuals.
Isabeau a shit.

Isabeau is great.
Hardly any real dungeons and a handful of demon designs(outsourced to guest artists) were god awful, but overall entertaining

Dumb neutralfag with a stupid haircut.
Remove Isabeau.

Honestly if you think about it the entirety of tokyo is one dungeon.
>no defense
>demons hp and mp are based on builds, not stats
>don't keep costumes in ng+
>fundraise grinding for macca
>stats are too high, mc does 5x more damage than his demons

It didn't really feel like one. I'm talking Lucifer's Palace quality design.
Supposedly Final fixes this somewhat but everything else about the game is a big turnoff

I hate this. Fusing demons with tons of MP but little HP is gimping yourself because they can get destroyed in one hit from a normal enemy. Not only you're a glass cannon because no VIT but every single enemy hits like a train.

>cost 80 mp
>has 100 mp
Walter was a fucking idiot.
>At no point does Isabeau or Flynn step in to diffuse the obviously brewing tensions between Walter and Johnathan.

I liked it enough to hunt all of the 1/256 fiends and do two new game pluses to accomplish it. Pretty damn fun, nice atmosphere and OST, decent story from my POV. Beginning is a bit slow though, and it shows even more on NG+.

I remember Isabeau trying to calm them down sometimes. Flynn didn't do shit because she's a silent fuccboi aka you.

Soon to be irrelevant due to SMT IV FINAL

>shaking down demons for every penny in their little demon pockets
it was fun the first run, but fuck whoever thought to put Nekomatas with Wastrel Beam in Ginza.
The real shit was having no way to check your current alignment after Ichigaya. I had to redo the whole game, again, because I was too far law at the route lock.

Nyarly please go back to Persona.

Nyarlathotep has always been in SMT, just as a lesser demon.

Yeah I know.
