I'm about to beat SMTIV for the first time, what route did you guys pick?

Does Apocalypse have the same routes?
>>
>>344703571
I went law first then chaos and finally neutral.
Apocalypse happens during the neutral route.
Like right before you go to the final 2 dungeons.
>>
>>344703989

But does Apocalypse also have Law/Chaos, or just one ending? I've heard something about Anarchy?
>>
>>344704119
Yes Law/Chaos give you a game over while the two neutral routes continue on

I never go into these game with a route to take. I always accept the one that my natural choices give me. That being said I landed on neutral my first go. It was a long time before I finished it cause of all the side quests I had to do. But well worth it.

I got chaos on my first playthrough, I tried to go neutral after killing King Kenji but I was too far into chaos by then for a single law choice to balance out into neutral.

Started a new playthrough a while ago, kind of stopped playing shortly after reaching Tokyo. I've been thinking of getting back into it but at this point it might be better to wait for Apocalypse

Just started Strange Journey though, that should keep me going for a while. I had tried SJ as my first SMT months ago after getting into Persona 3, but was initially turned off by the first-person dungeon crawling and had stopped before even reaching the first boss. This time I'm actually playing through it for real, and it's pretty cool.
>>
>>344703571
Finally bought SJ like three days ago after playing through it on emulators for years. I chose chaos the first time around but this time i'm gonna go neutral to see the "true" ending.

I feel really bad I never played it until now, I'm really fucking enjoying this game. Music is 10/10 for me.
I've made it up until right after the Black Samurai was executed.

The only thing I dont really like is that the enemies pursue you when I want to explore, sometimes I just want to look around the areas and take it all in.

STR only affects regular attacks which is pretty useless since you'll be wanting to use either physical or magical abilities during battles. Invest heavily in DEX or INT based on which you prefer. Stick a couple of points in other stats every so often.

You WILL die a lot early on. Don't worry. Until you build up a full team of demons early battles will be tough. Don't be discouraged.

It's great, but some of the dungeons are a bit shit

Nocturne is actually very much an odd one out in the series, it's very different in tone and setting to most megaten games. It's a lot less sci-fi and has a much more unique feeling to it than the others. It's hard to describe but even though I hate the dungeons in Nocturne I find myself drawn to it for other reasons.

It'll still whoop your ass even on normal. Nocturne is brutal. It can be pretty frustrating, especially with mudo and hama skills. Still, if you like the setting, go for it.

Just remember that fiends (skeletons with candelabra) are completely optional (unless you're going for the True Demon Ending) and you can just avoid them by choosing "No" when the candelabrum starts flickering, and sometimes you don't even have to go to where they're encountered to advance the plot. I made the mistake of not realising this until after I had died to Daisoujou about twenty times.

Ok, fuck this game's alignment point bullshit. I play pretty balanced, not being a fucking douchebag to people (or demons) just for kicks, not going for the Luxurors' and angels' bullshit either.

The cynical old man says people can't figure me out, or something like that, when I talk to him.

Great, I'm going neutral, baby!

Then I pick at the binary choice, make it the rest of the way through the dungeon, and find out I'm locked with Jonathan, and Isabeau is going to kill me for all the right reasons.

Ok, I guess I didn't get the neutral route, even though I've been playing neutrally? So I reload on the other file, make different choices, and get the "destroy the universes" ending. Uhm, I guess that's neutral, in a way, but not really what I was looking for.

Ok, guess I have to pick Walter, because it's the only option left. And, wait, I'm fucking chaos routelocked. Uh, what? And Isabeau wants to kill me, again, for rerasons I completely agree with. So then I look up a guide, and see the true fucking face of this game's horseshit.

THIS FUCKING GAME. IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING NEUTRAL, YOU CAN ONLY PICK LAW/CHAOS, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE ANYWHERE NEAR ZERO ALIGNMENT POINTS, WHATEVER YOU PICK PUTS YOU SOLIDLY IN ITS FUCKING LOCK ZONE. FUCKING CHRIST.

To get neutral, you have to play one alignment enough to get your points high/low enough that you can pick the other option at routelock. Let me repeat, if you are ACTUALLY FUCKING PLAYING NEUTRAL IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE NEUTRAL ROUTE.

De-fucking-fend this.

Ok, well, I guess Walter's a cool guy, saying the chaotic things that make sense, calling out the angels on their bullshit without being a total douchebag to everyone. Maybe the chaos route isn't going to be too bad. And him having sexual tension with schoolgirl Satan along the way is gonna be kinda funny. NOPE. Walter gets nomm'd and I'm stuck with asshat no-fun Lucifer.

Fuck this game.

Unless you're using a guide, keeping neutral from 'Go with Walter/Jonathan' is pretty difficult. According to the people have have enough time on their hands to calculate the shit out, there's not much slack by that point.

>>344727227
>Walter is such a poorly-written character
I liked that he was actually pretty reasonable for most of the game, instead of being a standard chaos douchebag.

He's pretty good, up until it's time to go full chaos, you're right. Someone falling into extremism from seeing the legitimate problems with a fucked-up philosophy makes sense, but it's a big jump from "man, the angels are being control-freak dick, and this class system's kinda fucked" to "STRONG RULE, WEAK DROOL, LET'S SIP PINA COLADAS WITH SATAN WHILE GIVING POINTERS TO DEMONS ON HOW TO RAPE PEOPLE!" They could have done his character arc a lot better.

Unlike the alignment system, fusing demons is easy, once you realize you can eventually fuse anything into anything else, given enough dosh.

You're not wrong, but that completely drains any sense of playing a character out of it. "I need to be a dick to this lady who just wants to see another human face before she dies, because I gained too many law points on that last sidequest / by following the plot" fucks any sense of immersion I could have. And once I lose that seense of being invested in the characters and the choices, there's really no point except fusing better demons to get bigger numbers.

It's the same issue Mass Effect had: there aren't really any neutral choices, just switching between Law and Chaos like a frenetic schizophrenic.

By contrast, Devil Survivor's choice system felt really good, and never had the "now you're got to make this choice that doesn't make much sense, just so you can get your alignment right".

They're usually very strong if you get them as soon as they become available. But some of them have a special skill as their last unlock, meaning they're not top tier until you level them out a bit.

I think the game directly addresses that by having Stephen say that your choices had to fit a bizarre pattern that the first hero made, but I see you point. When I did neutral I had already played my natural instincts and gotten law and then purposefully went chaos before making a specific plan for neutral so i didnt really care much for immersion

I've only done one go round of DS so far but isnt the choice system just showing up for the right events over the days?

I literally played through the game being a nice guy, and made the choices I felt were right or necessary. Was pretty immersed. I ended up neutral.

Maybe you just think about it too hard and should just play out what your gut tells you and have fun, then just look up a guide or youtube if you want a specific ending.

>just showing up for the right events
Yeah, prettymuch. i think there are some dialogue choices and stuff in the battles that make differences too.

It's not complicated, but I like the fact that you obvious pursue certain characters' stories, and have to try to juggle who you really want to save/see succeed once some of them start turning on each other.

It feels a lot more honest because of the simplicity. You know if you go for a Haru event that you're going to get closer to saving her, or get more of her story, that kind of thing. You don't have to deliberately alternate choices to try and hit some small middle ground - even the characters with routes that interlock at least give some hint they're related.

>>344729501
>just play out what your gut tells you and have fun
I tried, but it's just not fun to be told "yeah, you were too nice to people, now you have to help the angels genocide Tokyo" or "yeah, sorry, you didn't like the idea of the angels mind controlling your country and preserving its broken system forever? Let's kill everyone in Mikado, and sit on beach chairs while demons rape everyone you've ever known!"

I'd like to see a neutral route that isn't just alternating between the two shitty options, or having to pick something to balance out something else you did. Fusing demons and battling is where I want to have to think about crunching numbers in long-term strategy.

It isn't a parody anymore, or rather, it isn't a good parody if you're half doing it to make parody and half doing it for the sake of pandering to said trope itself. It's like the Kill La Kill fanservice argument. The outfits and all that is parody but it still has real fanservice for the sake of having fanservice as well as extremely obvious scenes meant to pander and stimulate past the parody side

It's also like "ironic" shitposting. People who just post shit like q:^)-|-<0: because it's funny "ironically" are still shitposting.

For those rare few that have played final/Apocalypse

Is the difficulty curve more even? It was a hard-ish start, then became piss easy in normal 4. I would love if it remained hard or at least elevated

Someone was working on a SJ.wad, but I think they had to stop because of texture issues or something.
