Your opinion on Shin Megami Tensei 1
>>344596910
Never played it and I dont think I should, I usually get turned off from games that haven't aged well.
>>344596910
Has a good port on mobile
>>344596910
Playing it right now but still near of the beginning (defeated Gotou), this one is the PS1 version, right? I wanted to play this one because the soundtrack sounds more rad, but there's no translation.
Also, fusing Pascal (your dog) with a demon for Cerberus is pretty cool, I played the NES ones first and I like how Cerberus keeps being a important recurring demon, does Pascal/Cerberus sacrifices himself in the computer after the doctor boss fight or he just fuses with the machine? I didn't get this part.

The game flows pretty well, in my opinion only the first Megami Tensei in the famicom is extremely inconvenient and almost impossible to finish without a guide, Megami Tensei 2 and SMT are much more playable.
And Shin Megami Tensei if...
I want to like it, but as with old school dungeon crawlers, it's just too hard for me to get into. I get lost too easily, even with guides seeing that I have bad spatial awareness and tend to get lost quite easily.
>>344596910
Played maybe 5 hours of it, thought it was awesome. Not sure if I should just play II at this point.
I have the English patch on SNES through an everdrive on a CRT, but honestly I'd probably rather just play it on my phone.
>>344597256
How do you know it hasn't aged well if you haven't played it?
What was their problems?
>>344598531
My thoughts on SMT If is that it'll never get translated because Gideon fucking sucks
>It's been FOUR YEARS
>F O U R Y E A R S
>Since he announced that he was working on If...
>>344598531
>"If..." has ps1 version
Now this is new to me.
>>344598824
>Being able to play in the original hardware and CRT for full experience
>Still wants to play in a phone
Literally "Why: the post".
what does this guy say he won't let me go through
>>344596910
Massive number of random encounters. Getting to a boss is more torturous than fighting the boss.
>>344599332
Autobattle?
>>344596910
Breddy gud.
I'm sad that only the Sega-CD version had Pascal as a recruitable monster instead of Kerberos.
>>344596910
OP watch t out that dog is staring right at you! It doesn't even have a collar!!
>>344596910
I don't think it's a very good game. The combat is extremely boring even in boss fights, the random battles are annoying, and overall it just feels like a chore to play. I like exploring in some games but in SMT1 I just felt like I wanted it to be over ASAP. The story was interesting but I felt it was too sparse to make the player care about the characters. There are definitely some good ideas and some good songs on the soundtrack but overall I didn't enjoy it.
>>344596910
Why do you keep asking my opinion on these SNES SMT games? The gameplay sucks. The game just bombards you with encounter after encounter, and there's almost never any threat and very little strategy to it.
I keep wanting to like it because the concept and setting is nice, but I just feel like I'm wasting my fucking life playing it.
The one thing I like about it is that status effects are useful and can allow you to win fights almost or completely unscathed, which doesn't really demand that much thought or anything but feels much more satisfying than just taking enemies with your bloated HP pool.
>>344599642
Don't you dare badmouth Pascal the dog. He is a good dog.
Ok I really like the SMT games but never played the first
The two faggots you encounter In your dream, are going to be a part of your party or only if you go with their rutes?
(Law and chaos as you know)
Also, how should I name them?
Official name?

>total progress 80%
>for 4 years
>last update oct 2014 titled "part 1 of 3"
Will we ever wake up from this nightmare?
>>344596910
I just started playing it today
Need to play and actually beat it. Along with II and Kyuuyaku.
>>344598531
It's not fully translated yet.
Wanted to make a question but I don't want to start a thread just for it.
In SMT3 Nocturne the Hard mode is good for a first time playing it (already finished some others megaten games) or it's just too insane? Like, is something like Persona 3 Normal and Hard modes?
No spoilers, please.
>>344599231
I guess "zz" is your name.
He won't let you pass because it is an emergency situtation and he is just following orders/rules as a member of... Fuuki (the name of the school?) I guess.
I loved SMT1

There aren't many archaeologists browsing /v/, anon.
>>344600626
Damn, not "zz", it is "ここ", disregard that. He is just saying "you can't pass through here".
>>344596910
Weren't you supposed to have the option to take the dog with you? For whatever reason I didn't get the option to.
>>344596910
I wanna fuck that dog
>>344596910
It's the easiest mainline game just because of how broken ailments are and the UI is clunky and confusing. Other than that it's pretty good.
>>344599959
What's the name of this again?
>>344600970
Date Ariane
>>344600786
Afteryour mom gets eaten by a demonhe will join you (if you say yes), he doesn't appears in your party or anything, but if you go to the Heretic Mansion he will appear as a option to fuse.
>Mom just dies
>Try not to be too upset
>>344601126
btw the result of using Pascal is always Cerberus.
>>344599137
>>344599959
Can't we just say we're desperate for any news related to it? Would that be something.
>>344596910
Best translated version to play?
Or should I just stick with the old SNES rom?
>>344596910
I dropped it somewhere at the point where you fight Werewolves and Gorgons as random encounters. I respect it for what it did, but fuck the game was REALLY badly paced. I constantly had to grind not for levels but so I can have higher tier demons.
>>344601214
How would you feel if your mom died in front of you
>>344599208
I know, it's me being lazy I guess.
If I was a frogposter the self hatred would have been apparent.
>>344601445
SNES is the only option you got if you dont speak jap or have an apple device
>>344601529
No it's what the Law Hero says to you which the Chaos Hero reacts with outrage (rightfully so).
>>344601852
Law truly is the worst. Which reminds me, I need to finish up Kyūyaku since I never played the updated versions.
>>344596910
A masterpiece, just like every other MegaTen game.
>>344602050
>Law truly is the worst.
Nah he's a bro. So is Chaos. It's just that they both have VERY different ideals from each other and even you if you choose to go down the Neutral path. SMT 1 had the best characters IMO.
>>344602056
Even Ronde?
>>344602502
Even Ronde.
>>344600605
No, It multiplies store prices x3 on top of increasing the number of random battles and limiting the amount of times you can escape
