Surprising, but nice.
>>
>>122789486
well first thing comes to mind is how Jon breaks his character to get fucking pissed sometimes like when he has that guy by the throat and says "Our fellow is the only reason I dont cut you down where you stand" and how even he doesnt agree with Tayamas version of 'Law' he thinks there must be a better way.

What depth of that level do any of the other characters have? I love walters personality but his actions have no clear motivation. Like I get it hes a casualry but thats not enough of a motivation for him to want to literally destroy his home kingdom.

Also Isabeau was just as much of a luxuror as Jon was
>>
>>122790157
In general I like both Walter and Jonathan and I could get their reasoning until the point where both went whack. Jonathan wants to keep Mikado safe but he doesn't want to hurt Tokyo either, and Walter abhors the caste system and wants people to be recognized for their skills and actions instead of being bound by position and birth. And then suddenly Jonathan is okay with the destruction of Tokyo and Walter goes full Darwinism.
I'm looking forward to the Neutral endings of Final, I hope they still have stuff leaning Law and Chaos, but that they're executed in a way a reasonable human deal with.
>>
>>122788863
Jonathan was cute, but his motivation was literally "fuck off the monastery can NEVER be wrong". I still liked him, but he wasn't as likeable as Walter was before hoyboy went full retard. And then there was his response vs. Walt's after getting their asses kicked.

It seems like the plot of SMT IV happened at an extremely fast pace. I fell like with time Johnathan would have grown to the point where he would have refused to help destroy Tokyo, but he hadn't had enough time to grow so he deferred to authority even if he didn't like the message.
>>
>>122666662

The text mentions that Krishnah is building an Ark somewhere in Tokyo and gets Sukuna Hikona to protect it.

>>122678862
>Who are those guys then?

Complete speculation... Maybe the white guy is Jesus, then? He has a big cross on his outfit in spite of Mikado not having any, and there's some imagery where Michael carries the lance of the crucifixion, which could explain why Michael's name is there.

The official blog for IV F had a section about Satan, Lucifer and the Demiurge in mythology. It ends mentioning their roles in past Megaten games and tells the reader to read up on them and look forward to IVF. It's basically the closest thing they could get to saying "Satan and Demiruge will be in the game with story roles" without outright saying it.

Please? We at Atlus have the game already localized but in bad English. We used new 3D graphics engine to help bring demons to "life" but the problem was to make the humans look "better." Japan was a test to see if the game would sell a lot. NINE's sales exceeded us at ATLUS with an amazing 20 sales of NINE. We plan to have LEGION and MARA demon playable for Playstation VR.

Am I doing something wrong? I've been running a neutral team most game 'till I decided to waste some sources and mess around with a chaos team with Asura and King Frost. Right after that I get Law so now I'm trying to build a law oriented team and all the demons suck.
Did you guys grind for demon sources sometimes? Seems like the best way to get decent fusions going on.
>>
>>122859431
Near the end of the game I would deliberately summon demons with sources I wanted to handle random encounters, as to naturally obtain sources without grinding. Other than that I really didn't bother with them too much.

You might be relying on alignment co-op too much. I really only worried about it in Sectors E and F. Even then, it was sometimes okay to just have all three demons one alignment, and the MC another.

People seem to burn themselves out trying to maintain a solid party alignment at all times, but it's really only necessary for a few DPS race bosses that heal frequently. I like to view co-op as something to fall back on when shit hits the fan, but otherwise play it like SMT 1-2.

How many people are neutralfags here?
>>
>>122862843
I would normally consider myself neutralfag but it really depends on the game. For example, neutral in SJ happens without the human population actually meeting the demons/ being held accountable for their bullshit. It would fall apart so quickly because I doubt they actually learned anything. In SJ I actually prefer chaos, because the weak, sheltered humans in SJ wouldn't maintain a good world very long.

In games like IV though I definitely prefer neutral. Unlike SJ all the people in Mikado and Tokyo have met with demons and dealt with great of hardship, especially those in Tokyo. People like that are more likely to be grateful for the opportunity that they've been given and pass down what they've learned so that at least a few generations of relative peace ensue. It will still totally collapse in, at most, a few hundred years like with most neutral scenarios, but it would definitely last longer than in SJ.

Why does SMT get shit on so much? I'm playing through it, just finished the police station, so far it's fine other than the encounter rate being retarded, but it's not like more recent games like Nocturne don't have that problem.
>>
>>122871025
It becomes kinda dull to travel from the same looking corridors, encounter rate its not only too frquent but they have many enemies and many back ups.

Nocturne encounter rate is lower, rarely enemies get back ups and few enemies in it.

Still i enjoyed my time with SMT 1 more than 2 even with the latter better encounter rate.
>>
>>122871025
It's kinda clunky.
>>
>>122841556
helps with the tense atmosphere, increases the difficulty and reduces the grind in the case of DDS
I don't mind it in SMT specifically because the menus are almost always incredibly fast and the animations brief, so you can smash through a lot of battles in a short amount of time

I don't know, I think it's pretty great. The problems caused by the high encounter rate is a million times worse in say, early Persona + Soul Hackers because autobattle takes so fucking long and can be dangerous thanks to tons of damage types/retarded AI. I've played through KMT/SMT 1+2 multiple times, but can't bring myself to finish a lot of spin-offs because of the sheer tedium involved in their battle systems.

Also, I've heard from a few people that they prefer the more recent MT titles simply because they're much more forthcoming with visual details/cutscenes concerning what's happening in the plot- unlike SMT1+2 which require your imagination to fill in the gaps and bring the scenes to life, much like a book does. I massively prefer the 'fill in the blanks' approach to earlier games since it allows the player directorial control and therefore is a more unique, personal experience that complements the multiple path system found in the games nicely.

I prefer Strange Journey overall, and recognize the superior gameplay design of Nocturne, but otherwise SMT 1/2 are my second favorites in the franchise. The sheer sense of scale SMT1 lends to 2 is staggering. Combined, they are one of the best video game stories of all time.
