If I missed any updates to the OP from the last thread feel free to remind me replying to this post so I can update my paste.
DEVILSUMMONER
When you're playing IV and you're going for a MA hero, is there any point in buying new swords/guns ?
>>123090236
I did play the DS version and again dont remember they adding honorifics.
Maybe they are spare or is a RB thing.
>>123091172
No. I haven't bought any weapon since the beginning. Just equip whatever you find.
>>123091172
Guns yes if you need to hit a gun weakness, swords, not so much until the end where they get really good and you need to autobattle a lot.
>>123091172
They can prove useful in a situation where you are out of MP/ vs magic resisting enemies and some even have cool effects. It's a matter of trying out and seeing if it comes in handy or not. Mine did once in a while.
>>123091295
It's the next new hot thing, sensei. Atlus is going to put honorifics in every game from now on senpai. Don't you just love it, anon-chan?
>>123091385
>out of MP
To be fair, if he's running a Magic build he must have the MP restoring App. There's no way you run out of MP with that one.
>vs magic resisting enemies
Attacks do jack shit anyway if you have 7 St/Dx. Just pop a Hama/Mudo or let your physical demons do the job.
>>123091172
Take the insta-kill bullets.
>>123091126
the updated tips n tricks isnt there
http://pastebin.com/bd3Bgfj8
so I'm playing smt 1 and somethings bothering me is it just me or does it seem like it's impossible to recruit any demons, wven when i get the prompt to pick if i want them to join me they just attack anyway but the game seems to imply i should have demons to fuse this early in the game should i kill myself?
>>123091736
What's your INT?
>>123091708
Thanks. Fixed and will be up next time.
>>123091736
INT?
>>123091453
Did IV had them?
>>123091736
Put some Int and then from onward the negotiation will be the easiest shit ever.
>>123091552
Yeah, I knew something was off about Yamato's response without even have played the Japanese version.
>>123091736
Fix your crippling IQ first
>>123091853
>>123091898
I thought INT and MAG was worthless since the main character doesn't seem to ever get any MP or magic.
>>123092065
INT makes your negotiations go better, try to have 10 or more
So I just finished 4 on chaos and will prob play neutral till I can pick up another game.
With that what other games should I look into picking up, Strange journey looks good but ive also heard good stuff about soul hackers too.
>>123093295
SJ and SH are a must. Devil Survivor Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 Break Record if you like tactics RPG mixed with turn based combat like in Bahamut Lagoon.
And then there's SMT IV Final.
>>123093295
There's only like what 4 others
>>123092065
They are for the most part but you do get defensive bonus and negotiations become easier as far as I recall.
>>123093295
All of them.
are there any smts you can play forever and have endless content and are random?
>>123094276
>>123093295
Is that your first SMT?
>>123094276
I feel like SMT IV is the closest we have. The fact that there are so many demons almost guarantees that each run will be different. Also you can toy around with builds easily and actually be viable, unlike SJ or SH.Or SMT Imagine
>>123094478
FUCK PERSONA DELETE THIS NOW
>>123094478
Ow, the EDGE
>>123094674

>You will never beat the Axis Mundi
>>123095342
Not without a partner.
I just heard there was an anon here who decrypted his SMT IV ROM and dumped some stuff here. My firmware is too high, and I don't know anyone with a lower firmware, so I can't generate the XORpad necessary to decrypt it.
If that anon is here, would you mind putting your decrypted ROM up for download? I've been wanting to explore SMT IV innards for months now but to no avail. In return, I can post some pictures from any of the SMT IV Japanese guides, manga, or OST that you want to see, though I'm afraid I don't know how to speak Japanese that well.
>>123094674
Nah.
>>123094723
I never got that tetris syndrom that so many people talk about. I only got traumatized about the baby in hard mode at most.
Joking aside, Catherine surprisingly has a shit ton content and challenge. I am yet to speak to someone who has 100% the game counting gold trophies on hard, Babel, and Rapunzel.
>>123095342
>tfw never tried Babel mode
Getting the endings and shit was enough for me.
>>123094552
Yeah it was, I guess ill just get em all like other Anons said. I think I saw nocturne on ps3 store so ill prob get that when I have a large break.
>>123095553
I told you he was dead but good luck. There was this other anon asking for more info from that on dumping anon but as far as I know he never got a reply.
>>123095582
>I am yet to speak to someone who has 100% the game counting gold trophies on hard, Babel, and Rapunzel.
Is that necessary for getting a Platinum Trophy? If yes, there's a ton of autists who did that. Just search the net.
>>123095650
Okay, this is the route you wanna take.
SMT Nocturne + DDS1/2, then SJ and SH (keep in mind SH is a blast from the past) then have fun with Raidou games, maybe DeSu. If you wanna play the very old games, then SMT1, KMT, SMT2, that order.
>>123095520>tfw you and your gf still can't beat Axis MundiShit will only cause more relationship harm than benefit
>>123095696
Aw damn it. I might have more success if I post in the thread right near the beginning, as more people are likely to see it. Hopefully he's not like me and didn't just disappear from /smtg/ for a few months.
Was it the decrypted ROM he posted, or just stuff he got out of it?
>>123095968>tfw have a GF>she sucks at gaming outside of Sanic or beat'em ups
>>123095650
>>123095845
I'm a different anon who got into smt recently but I've been hopping between console and handheld as to not get tired of one format. Got through IV,P3P, Nocturne, SJ and currently going through DDS.
>>123096063
Just a couple of stuff he found out, he never dumped the Rom as far as I recall. Good luck anyways anon. Despite not being interested in emulation, this kind of stuff always peaks my interest.
>>123096373
eren :vD
>>123096623
yeah I like Attack on Titan too friendo
>>123095828
Yeah I meant average people, not YouTube wizards, trophy whores and the like.I want to be one of those autists, but Catherine is too strong.
>>123096373
jesus these things get worse every year, whatever happened to quality control
>>123097081
>meant average people
The thing is, average people would never touch a puzzle game much less a hard one and even much less on anything other than a tablet or ipad.
I understand what you meant though. I just have too much backlog on my PS3 to try to get everything in one game.
>>123097168
Whenever an op tries quality control people some fags flip out and call censorship. No mosaic will ever beat the Monster Hunter 3U HD case in shittyness.
>>123097168
>get worse every year
Every week you mean. I still haven't saw a good one this entire year.

>>123096351
I'm not interested in emulating it either since I already own it, but it's fascinating what you can find in ROMs.

Still hoping they implement those Legion Skills in Final.

That one is kinda nice. I don't usually go to /v/ though. Just go there from time to time and if I bump into one of these I stick around and see the final thing.
What's up with the 100TARO battle message that pops up from time to time in Soul Hackers?
![1429304301_ushiro-no-hyakutarou[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HRFwSLx.jpg "1429304301_ushiro-no-hyakutarou[1].jpg")
>>123099735
Never played Soul Hackers, but I assume it might be referring to this, a horror OVA.
But I don't know for sure.
Should I go neutral or chaos in SMT? I'm at Yama's trial and I liked chaos in SJ but I don't see a very clear enough goal to help my decision here.
>>123102629
Neutral. It sucks to have your party options neutered by alignment.
>>123102629
I should add that Isamu's reason was my favorite.
What's /smtg/'s opinion on elements? Is physical/gun and agi/bufu/zio/zan/hama/mudo the perfect element balance? Or should Atlus recover some other dropped elements like nuclear and split physical ala Persona 3 (slash/blunt/pierce)?
>>123106220
I think how it is now is fine but I want to see earth make a return
>>123106220
Earth needs to return, diversify Death and Expel spells like DDS did.
>>123106353
>>123106471
Why earth specifically? Just to have all the basic elements represented?
>>123107056
Yes, because Nuclear is retarded.
>>123107056
like in DDS, I prefer both Death and Expel as insta kill though personaly
>>123107332
Nuclear was retarded but Gravity was cool.
>Earth elemental
>Electric skills
Why?
>>123108038
Earth is a great conductor for eletricity.
>>123108038
because Tera- skills only exist in DDS
>play SH
>I'm the kind of fag that likes to explore every little thing

Am I the only one?
>>123110625_No
>>123106220
Give me more Expel and Death skills that aren't one-hit kills. Having the one-hit kills themselves exist is fine, but then you get to enemies whose only weaknesses are Expel or Death, and the only way to exploit that is either a spell that's otherwise so inaccurate as to be worthless or a special move that only comes on one demon that's either six levels above where you are right now or that you haven't gathered all the fusion components for yet. Meanwhile, having Violet Flash and Radiance in Nocturne made it possible to exploit demons' weakness to Expel while still having them be somewhat useful spells against demons with neutral resistance.
>>123110625
No i make sure i map everything, i remember clearing heroine mind in SMT 1 but then near the end of the dungeon i noticed a missing tile near the end of the dungeon and i returned to map it.
Was fun in SJ that gave you an achievement for mapping all the dungeons.

>>123090941

P E R F E C T
Are demons edible?
>>123112703
It would seem so, you get succulent pork drops from those pig demons in IV
>>123112703
>>123113182
In 2 they have some kind of cow demon farm.
>>123112703
In II they were raising Demi-Nandi for human consumption, so I'm assuming that you can, in fact, eat demons just as easily as they can eat you.
>>123112703
SMT IV talks a lot about having to eat demon meat to survive. In Toyosu/Tennozu (always mix those up) a few hunters talk about how strange it is that the residents managed to survive without being able to kill demons for their meat. Of course, that's because their meat came from... other sources.
Once you realize that Tokyo can't grow food/livestock due to no sun, and that they have to kill and eat demons to live, you don't see demons as all that bad. Traditionally, even in SMT, demons were always the "scary evil human eaters" but when humans are doing the same back it seems like demons do it not because they can but because they have to.
>>123106220
Persona 1 levels of elements or go home. Keep press turn also.
>>123112703
Duh
>>123113805
Is it because humans are a magnetite/magatsuhi/whatever source?
>>123115602
I would think so.
Speaking of magnetite/magatsuhi, is it safe to say that 'mag' is something like solidified human emotion? SMTIV has reds, which are farmed from people's brain matter and supposedly give a kind of kick similar to intellectual stimulation, neurishers in Infernal Tokyo supposedly give out more food if their emotions are worked up, and demons themselves pretty much come from the human unconsciousness.
>>123117297
Well, if demon summoning relies on having a source of strong emotions, it would make sense. And it explains why Magnetite is unnecessary in the first Devil Survivor: the Internet's emotions, already stated to be key to the summoning process, would form an endless pool of Magnetite, so the individual summoner wouldn't need to go out and get any just to keep his demons summoned. This would allow any the summoners gain to become a bonus, to strengthen the summoned demon by letting them learn new moves.
>>123118372
>shitposting allows for unlimited demon summoning
>>123118372
What about in games like SMTIV? I don't need to shell out MAG or punch a straw through my head to keep my demons happy, and there's a lot more than the 12-demon cap.
>>123121395
/smtg/ would actually have an advantage in the eventual demon apocalypse.
>>123121525
Mag was a gameplay mechanic that is now abolished, don't think too much about it.

Almost up to law-route in SMTIV, after this I'll be able to 100% my compendium. I always end up doing this in any SMT game, filling the compendium. Even if it means dillydallying in the final dungeon. I also started trying to get one of every armor for fashion purposes.

>>123137905
I don't see Demiurge as an angel. He's a deity from Gnostic tradition in almost direct opposition with YHVH, and in SMT is more consistently portrayed as a shard of YHVH.

>>123138108
Demiurge isn't God, the entire point of Demiurge is an flawed and or evil creator, he's thought to be the devil most of the time, people do refer to him as Satan for some reason.
>>123140249
I meant in the sense of the SMT series, especially after doing the SJ mission involving him.
>>123140529
>especially after doing the SJ mission involving him.
So then Metatron doesn't belong on the list either.
>>123140872
Metatron is an angel, Demiurge is never considered one, and is considered to be a malevolent creator who just wants beings to worship him.
>>123140872
Metatron has much much more precedent for being an Angel rather than a chunk of god. See most of his appearances in Megaten. Besides, the SJ mission isn't the only time Demiurge is considered a part of God. There's also the SMTIV sidequest.
>>123140973
>and is considered to be a malevolent creator who just wants beings to worship him
Wait a minute, that sounds familiar
>>123140973
>Demiurge is never considered one
By the fact he is largely considered the devil, a fallen angel, you're wrong.
>>123141127
You sure about that?
>>123141250
Yes, I am.
Want me to show you a 2 sentence summary on Satan talking about how he's the devil?
For fuck's sake, they just announced for the next SMT game a plot point about how Lucifer, Satan and Demiurge are considered the same being and how they will interact in SMT since they are different beings in that context, how are you this stupid?
>>123141484
You're basing off that information with a non-translated piece of Famitsu (no, Google Translate is shit when it comes to translating something with the right context), so I'd rather wait until someone fully translates that piece instead of making that assumption.
I bet you thought Dagda was Walter as well.

>By the fact he is largely considered the devil, a fallen angel, you're wrong.Also, stop being so mad senpai
What role do you guys think Flynn is going to have in SMT4 Final other then being polytheistic alliance's bitch
>>123142132
Deep Neutral exclusive ally
>>123142073
Not him, because I'm not mad as fuck and apparently have decided to substantiate his claims, but he is mentioned as an angel once in the Gospel of Judas.
Also the Apocryphon of John says he's synonymous with Samael. This is all obtained through wikipedia sources on the guy so take it as you will.
It's not enough to convince me that his SMT iteration is angelic though.
Vs. Poker is infuriating.
>>123142552
He's always been defined to be a creator instead of an angel, and how he's described in Gnosticism fits well with how YHVH acts in SMT. I agree with you.

I don't know what's worse, the fact you're claiming angels didn't create and you're using that as "evidence" or the fact that you are refusing to acknowledge Satan and the Devil as angels.

Definitely gonna change the wing color on Meta but for now it looks good.
Also I'm currently playing Strange Journey right now once I'm done with that should I move onto SMT 1 and 2 or Soul Hackers?

What was our ultimate sin?
Hi /smtg/. I don't come here often, maybe never, I can't remember. I was wondering what are the chances of another Devil Survivor being made. I heard there was a DS2 anime in Japan, and obviously the 2 remakes. Does this seem like a spinoff series Atlus is still high on? What is the Devil Survivor crew currently developing?
I LOVE SRPGs and after playing the 2 Devil Survivor games over the last 2 months it has quickly jumped to the top of my favorites.
>>123151592
They're working on #FE right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they kept on making them after that inevitably bombs. They've got the engine and assets working on the 3DS already after all
>>123151592
I wouldn't put it out of the question, but I also wouldn't get your hopes up too high.
>>123151592
I'd say there's a good chance. Devil Survivor is easy to continue because there doesn't need to be story connections, and I'm under the impression they sold pretty well.
They'd probably wait until the next generation of handhelds though.
>>123151691
Oh so they are the ones behind #FE. That game seems so wasteful for an Atlus release. Unless like >>123151756 says, they are biding time until NX and those Wii U assets transfer over.
>>123151864
Putting a JRPG on Wii U is wasteful in general, even if it is very good.
>>123151934
The Wii U could be great for first person dungeon crawlers, especially EO. It's too bad no dev wants to touch the tablet
>>123152041
The issue is that the audience isn't there. JRPG players are on handhelds and PlayStation.
>>123151934
Well yeah, that is what I mean. Atlus traditionally uses assets again and again. #FE is the first console 3D RPG since what, Persona 4 in 2008? Why put it on a console with a definite dead end, unless they know that the work will translate easily to NX.
>>123152041
I'm not talking, mechanically. I HATE playing RPGs with a single screen now. Wii U is perfect for RPGs, but financially seems like a fire-pit.
Isn't Nintendo funding Hashtag Eff Ee anyways? Might as well use their (Nintendo's) money to try make Persona 4: Nintendo Edition to get some sales.
>>123152089
>the audience isn't there
Not only is the JRPG audience not there, there's no audience. The Wii U is a stadium filled with maybe 50 people in a venue that's supposed to hold a 1000.
>>123152168
>#FE is the first console 3D RPG since what, Persona 4 in 2008?
Holy shit has it been that long? God damn.
>>123151592
I want to like the Devil Survivor games, but there is something about the flow of the game I'm not understanding making it unnecessarily hard I think.
It might be from not cracking enough, or the right skills at the right time through the free fights, I don't know.
>>123152412
I'm pretty sure Raidou 2 came out after P4, but I think that was still 2008.
Atlus' only seventh generation console game was Catherine, I think. They otherwise skipped the whole generation and went straight to handhelds. Obviously I'm not counting collaborations like P4 Arena.
>>123152412
On the plus side, the game could end up being a surprise hit and become a long series. YHVH knows Fire Emblem has enough material to riff off of.
What would be a good number for an Atlus RPG that isn't Persona? 150,000 in Japan, 500,000 world wide?
>>123152636
>the game could end up being a surprise hit and become a long series
On Wii U?
>>123152776
Wii U isn't without it's million sellers. It also will have some Nintendo marketing, E3 Treehouse, Directs, probably some Adult Swim/Comedy Central commercial time, maybe a buy both get some eShop credit with Fire Emblem Fates again.
It's not likely but it could happen.
>>123152928
NoA sure as shit isn't marketing it.
>>123152928
3/4th of those million are casuals/kids. It's not gonna sell a lot, and will die stillborn
>>123152963
It's already been in directs and E3 treehouse. If they gave Bayonetta 2 tv commercials why wouldn't they for a Fire Emblem related game? Especially if Fates is as popular in the West as Awakening was.
Well, who ya got?
>>123152928
When is it gonna release anyways? Is it going to compete against any other big game?
>>123153584
December 26th in Japan
"2016" in US
>>123152928
Nintendo of America don't even advertise XCX, even though Xenoblade broke a million through word of mouth alone. The thing with games like #FE is that all the desperate weebs who will buy it already know it exists, since they spend all day on the internet. Advertising isn't really going to benefit that kind of title.
They blew all their advertising budget on Yokai Flop anyway.
>>123153910
But the advertising for Fire Emblem Awakening and cross promotion for SMT IV very much did work for those titles despite the 3DS weak sales. Both sold more than their previous hand held entries on the immensely popular DS.
>>123154064
The 3DS was starting to move units by that point, and that was a single platform thing, while Fates and #FE are on different platforms.
Although it feels strange to say this, IV has a much more broad appeal than #FE does. It's a fairly traditional RPG, light on anime tropes and the difficulty thing isn't as off putting as it used to be after Dark Souls made everyone want to be hardcore.
#FE is even more weeb than most of the Vita's library, I guarantee that kind of game will never sell a million units, no matter how heavily it's marketed. I honestly don't think Nintendo are going to bother marketing it.
>>123152636
>the game could end up being a surprise hit and become a long series
Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of Fire Emblem fags, SMT fags and even Persona fags don't what anything to do with the game right? Also, it's on the Wii U, which none of these series actually have a game in that system, right? More: the game is an extreme weebshit game. With or without advertising those that plan to buy the game already know about the game. We're talking about an idol JRPG with some elements of FE on a console that is nearly ded and whose users are 90% casuals and normies who only play Mario or some Sports games or whatever. I seriously doubt the game is gonna move a decent amount of sold copies. It's gonna flop HARD.
Everything is possible though, maybe it ends up selling a million, only time will tell. I, for one, highly doubt that.
>>123158030
plus it's localised by NoA who is the villain of the week for changing two post-game costumes in fatal frame, which this game's target market are up in arms about

They're both cute, but idk cowboy looks cuter.
I didn't even know that was announced for NA. Or PAL, I guess.
>>123159157
The problem is censorship. And that's gonna make Nintendo and SE lose some potential buyers.
Also, this is just one thing, dunno if they'll end up censoring anything else in BS. Although it's not a good sign for #FE.
Anyway, /v/ is already going insane with this so let's just leave this topic die in this thread here.

There are more people in Kowashitai threads than in IVF's on /v/, in the last weeks there were almost no shitposters in it (read, in the normal threads, not localization or pure shitposting ones), it's audiotory is basically 1/3 of P5's future auditory which is quite big, also most of the /feg/ neutral or positive on the game.

Please, half of #FE and IVF threads are shitposters or faggots samefagging how IV/#FE are shit. #FE threads are having less shitposting though, that's for sure, since everyone just wants to forget that shit exists.
>also most of the /feg/ neutral or positive on the game.
If that's positive I can't imagine what's negative.
>Wii U is jailbreaked
