Just started playing pic related for the first time, any pointers? So far I like the dreamlike atmosphere.
Remember what demon you fuse pixie with.
What difficulty are you on?
If you're on Hard then don't let the beginning hours let you down, it's RNG that mostly fucks you.
Remember that Chiaki is best girl.

Remember that it features Dante from the Devil May Cry series

It will always be the demon in the first slot unless you release her. It's just simpler to not even fuse her anyway. Just level her up to a Queen Mab and use her as a heal slut until the final kalpa.

This is if your going for thetrue ending
>>345270650
Literally pour stats into strength and endurance
Also get fog breath on demifiend
Make sure you are getting the superior experience by emulating it.
>>345270650
Buffs. Buffs everywhere.
>>345270650
Never let the boss get free moves. If you find yourself at a boss and have demons weak to his element it's better to just fight a man (or two) down.

I am, seems to work pretty well so far. Love the music.
>>345270650
do the kalpas
>>345270650
Uninstall and play the superior game, Digital Devil Saga 1. Don't play 2 since its dog shit.

Be warned. There's some sort of glitch from emulating and you can't get any farther. Have to change your emulation settings. Some puzzle with elevators or something.
>no internet for month
>emulating game, can't get out of dungeon no idea what the fuck I'm doing wrong
Remember to exploit enemy weaknesses whenever possible.
If you get stuck on a boss, then fuse some new demons. Grinding almost never works.

Aw fuck, I remember that. It's in the Assembly of Nihilo. If you can't go down a ladder, go to Config - Advanced, and set Round Mode to Nearest.
That's the only emulation problem with the game as far as I know.
The atmosphere might be the best in any game ever, plenty of cool locales coming up.
Music too shares a composer with the rest of the games in the series and is all just great. Like anon said above DDS is a nice second game if you want more.
Buffs and Debuffs are your best friends
Just enjoy the game. If you get in a bind, rethink your approach and fuse new demons. The agility raising buffs and debuffs (sukunda, sukaja, fog breath) pretty much break a lot of the boss fights (IIRC) if you want easy mode

Oh shit, getting it now.

I love DDS for its story and design but Nocturne has much more fun combat and variation.

Also, how do I get more lifestones?
>>345281725
>>345283331
Just kill demons, they will drop some
>>345270650
Get ready to punch a lot of demons right in the head.

>dreamlike atmosphere
Nigger, if Nocturne was a person It'd be the new Anti Christ.
>>345283873
Didn't mean it was a pleasant dream, hah. Just the weird post-apocalyptic setting and the environments totally devoid of people. I dunno, there's just a lot of stuff that feels like dream-logic in the game?
>>345283771
The normal attack animation is so satisfying
I even like the menu sounds.
