Shin Megami Tensei is not the true Megami Tensei. We should only talk about the Famicom games.
Seriously though, do those still play well? I've only played Kyuuyaku and I'd imagine that probably had a good amount of improvements.
>>126278751
>Shin Megami Tensei is not the true Megami Tensei.
No matter how many times I see jokes like this I still crack up.
>>126279290
Thing is, I bet some retards actually unironically think that.

I really like that keychanI'm a yuropoor so, it'll never be a preorder bonus here
In Nocturne, once you reach the station you're told there are four Onis to defeat. Can you do it in one run or what? I keep getting kicked out by a "strong power behind the door" which I assume is the fourth or third Oni. NPC says that the fourth one only comes out once you defeat the other three. Should I just keep looking or what? I feel like I checked everything.
>>126281493
>>126281928
Oh and if I need an item or something don't tell me, I'll try to figure it out.
>>126281789
>implying we're gonna get Final at all
>>126282461
Don't even joke about this.
>>126281928
Its optional so you can always leave it for later, aniways defate three onis and that door will unlock.
Also pic related.

I second this request. I can't make heads or tails of the fucking kanji they used.
why are they so young this time around
SMT's Law, Chaos and Neutral system, though cornerstones of the mainline series, are actually completely retarded TBVH tetrafamaton.
They're watered down portrayals of alignments lifted directly from DnD (which are also considered limited/unuseful and they actually have more 'depth' with the additional good/evil/neutral axis) and always portrayed in-game in a cartoonishly stupid and extreme fashion with cartoonishly stupid and extreme story paths/endings. It's no wonder that Neutral is always the best path and usually considered canon since they have more subtlety than "1984 megahitler angels" vs "lucifer creates the world of hokuto no ken/violence jack".
Part of the reason Nocturne is considered the best game in the series is because it handled the alignments in the best fashion. The Reasons draw influences from the various alignments but don't copy them outright (except for Chiaki, but she is full retard) leading to choices and endings for the demi-fiend that are actually interesting.
first world problems
>>126285961
Eh, I personally really enjoyed how Nocturne and DeSu handled the different routes/endings/factions/whatever. Tying it to a person and ideology is a lot better.

>>126293239
Some couple were interviewed and the guy said something corny and the girl covered her face, which led to an internet meme.
Hey gang.
I have finished 6 or 7 megaten games, and decided to try persona 4 golden on hard. I finally, just barely, managed to finish Yukiko's dungeon after playing for the last 5 or 6 hours. I think its because I decided to give it a go with one day before she gets murdered, so I couldn't leave to heal or anything.
Any advice beyond what's in the starter guide?
>tfw too retarded for Pyro Jack minigame in Nocturne
;_;
The worst part is that I'll have to start over if I quit so I must finish it somehow. I just want this shit over with and get on with the game
>>126291865
Halleluja. At least they appear together in a screen, using a skill named Bauba of Prevention
>>126293451
it's the only Megaten one I've seen
>>126293710
Are you asking about advice for P4 or SMT games in general?
>>126293712
Set up a laptopnext to you and finish that mini game in one hour or less. There's some guy who made videos on how to clear all the levels.
>>126293408
>>126293638
I like it.
>>126294027
But I don't want to use a guide.
>hour to finish WITH a guide
The Whites were right. There's no end to suffering.
>>126294027
P4, but to be honest I figured you guys would have better advice to give than the Persona general. I can post over there if its more appropriate.
>>126292573
SMT 1
>>126293712
>Not using a guide
I used a guide when i realized that it had more than 5 levels and that i would lose my progress if i left.
>>126294169
Eh, I tried clearing them but it's like 30 or something levels. Multiply that by at 3 minutes each it's 90 minutes to finish that shit.
>>126294210
Nah, it's fine dude. I really don't know how to advice you though. P4 is pretty easy, even on Hard. Just remember to keep fusing Personas, conserve SP as much as you can and that Chie is basically useless by mid game, Yukiko is the best healer and that Naoto is awesome for Mudo/Hama'ing normal battles but terrible for bosses. For SL, always have the Persona with the corresponding Arcana and remember to leave the Fox's requests for a rain dayalthough with Golden you can finish all SLs in your first playthrough if you manage your time correctly.
>>126294575
Yeah I googled how many stages are there to know how close am I to the end
>there are 20
>I'm in the 8th
I hope the reward is worth it.
>>126295016
>implying it's possible to finish each in 3 minutes
I think I've been trying one of the puzzles for at least 20 minutes.
>>126294210
If you read everything in the tips and tricks pastebin you should be good to go. The game isn't really that hard.
>>126293971
There's a bunch of Persona and Devil Survivor ones
>>126295285
It's amagatamana. A good one.
>>126295285
>3 minutes
The first 5 levels are easy as shit. 3 minutes is all you need for each.
Starting with the 10th level or something, shit was getting annoying since it took like 20 or something minutes for each.
>>126295607
>Gets cucked by his younger brother from another dimension.
>>126295607
>>126295623
Yeah I assumed it is because the kid said it's a bug thing. But it might be one I won't feel the need to use.
>>126295687
Sure the early ones were easy but then bam, can't figure shit.
>>126295801
And so on.
>>126295851
Neither could I. That's why I gave up and used a guide. The last 3 levels were a nightmare even with a guide.
>>126295607
where do you find these
>never played a persona game
is 3 a good starting point? ps2 or psp?
>>126296158
Start with P1.
>>126296095
Just quickly pixiv'd 特別な気分 and other keywords of the maymay with Megaten game names.
>>126296095
Not him but there's a ton onknowyourmeme
>>126296158
Start with whatever you think it's better. P3 is a good starting point but you can also start with P1 or P2 Innocent SinEternal Punishment is P2-2.
>>126296158
Persona 1 or 2
>>126278135
So does this mean more than a year has a passed since the beginning of IV?

>Law rep is Rabbit

>>126286034
>regular editions
>>126296158
Start with Persona 1. Persona 2 is a direct sequel, with characters returning. Persona 3 and 4 are more of their own thing, but are set in the same world and timeline. You'll see mention of the Nanjo Group (from P1 and 2) in P3, and also some cameos here and there.
>>126296268
>>126297675
>>126307065
>>126296373
looks like i'll be starting with P1.

This is my first time playing and I feel like I fucked up, you guys.Naoto just showed up to tell me they found a high-schooler as a suspect for King Moron's murder.
How badly have I fucked up my social links and stats? Is it still possible to get the perfect ending?
>>126310063
>Highest SLink is Dojima
Is it worth using Brionac over Morning Star?
>>126286347
I got Utimax for free
>>126306687
>SILLY OLD SON OF BEAR
>>126310063
It is kinda hard, but not impossible.
Just do the s-links from the people you like the most or the ones with your favorite arcana. Although you should give priority to Dojima, Nanako, Marie, Adachi and the Death S-link.
Also, you really should pay more attention to the Fox, work on your courage and start the best girl's S-link, aka:Ai.
>>126310063
Work on the Fox SL, they don't really take time to do aside from turning it in. And you need to do the job boards.
>>126310063
True ending is not based in social links. Marie dungeon requires you to max her link, though.
You look fine. You have lots of time left.
>>126310063
Save that shit for NG+. Just enjoy the ride for now.
>>126309081If you feel its outdated play 3.
>>126312971
>replaying P4

Chironuppu and Hallelujah are cute.
I also like that the jacket fits well with the suit underneath.
Shame there aren't any translators who can mention what's in the scans.
>>126300107
Time flows differently between Mikado and Tokyo.
>>126278012
Damn I hope this guy isn't a lawfag even though he is in the Ashurai-kai.
>>126316573
There's Gaston who mentions Merkabah-sama, he could be the Lawfag. It'd be fun if the Lawfag was the outright asshole instead of the uptight prude for once.
>>126316373
That would explain why Flynn is still said to be 18 in the Famitsu scans while Gaston is a new Samurai.
Does Nocturne have any emulation problems throughout the game? I booted it up yesterday and while everything ran perfectly it crashed out of nowhere while I was running around the hospital. Just would like to know some things before I dive in and get fucked over losing progress.
>>126317108
I know the European version has issues, is that what you're playing?
>>126317108
Mine lags when battles start but that's probably my shitty computer.
Otherwise I've had no problems.
Compared to SMT III keychain, this one is pretty pathetic. Anyone can easily do one like that for like 3 bucks.

>all this persona itt
Since when you fucks are okay with persona being discussed in here?
did smt:final make you faggots less grumpy?
>>126327359
More like a bunch of dumblrites took over this gen.
>>126327632
Well I propose a merge with /pg/ then
>>126327719
Why.
I don't mind the discussion of Persona here, but /pg/ is nothing but waifu and art posting.
>>126327719
denegated.
>>126327921
smt discussion would help to dillute all the waifu posting, besides waifuposting is what happens when /pg/ got nothing to talk about
When /smtg/ got nothing to talk about they hoypost to death
>>126328074
I don't know.
Look at /v/, they make daily Persona threads just for waifu posting.
I'm certain that at least some of the /pg/ users are there first and foremost for waifu posting.
Even if there'd be a lot of good discussion generated by inviting them here, there'd also be tons of garbage too.
I'd say keep it the way it is.
Encourage discussion of anything SMT related, discourage shit posting.
The anons that talk about Persona usually talk about the gameplay or demons/lore so i'm ok with it. I guess /pg/ isn't helpfull when it comes to actually playing the games.
SMT x FE came in early
>>126331281
nice
>>126327359
Better Persona being discussed than Atlus x Idolmaster
Dead as fuck
>>126337539
Maybe we should consider that /pg/ merge
>>126337667
We've been over why that's a bad idea.
Nothing wrong with a slow general.
A slow stream of good posts is better than a torrent of garbage.
>>126337773
There's still a good amount of garbage posts, it's just slower. Same shit different speed.
>>126337773
And a slow stream of garbage is also preferable to a torrent of garbage.
I miss slow /vg/. No need to bump the thread every forty minutes because cancerous /v/ threads can't stop spilling over here.
>>126325392
Fuck Walter, kill Jonathan, marry Flynn.
>>126337539
>>126337667
/smtg/ has always been slow.
Isn't Nanashi Japanese for "Anonymous"?Probably the 999th person to ask this.
>>126340071
I think it's more like "Nameless"
>>126339703
This wasn't a problem when generals could last for many hours without needing to be bumped.
>>126340523
>>126338774
Shame is it's only going to get worse as 4chan gets more and more popular.
>>126340193
Just checked, and that's how the anonymous posters on 2chan are signed: 名無し
So I guess it is "Anonymous" in a sense.
Anyone seen pictures of those abandoned parts of Fukushima? Why aren't we seeing similar aesthetics for Blasted Tokyo?
>>126340523
The merge is a still dumb idea.
Most of /pg/ doesn't want us, and most of the people on this general don't want them either, just from looking at the latest replies.
In fact it is a very good thing that there is a place where you can talk about all the other megatens, without Persona waifu discussion getting in the way.
>>126340797
No, wanna post them?
>>126341656
My pleasure.
>>126342381
>>126342381
Also, the reason Blasted Tokyo didn't take notes from this is because Blasted Tokyo got nuked. Fukushima was a leak from a plant. Nonetheless looks very cool and I imagine Tokyo itself was in a similar state of disrepair.
>>126342514
Imagine sticking around this place after dark! I have a picture for that too but I think someone posted it elsewhere.
>>126342637
Yeah, that's true. Still would have been rad to see a Tokyo almost reclaimed by nature, though. Like a large scale Nakano in Imagine.
>>126342682
>>126342862
Ah, yeah. I think plant life does well in situations like that, but if I had to guess maybe Pluto's poison was fucking them over too. A shame, but Blasted Tokyo still had a good impact.
>>126342862
>>126343072
True, certainly kicked the shit out of me in my first run.
>>126343072
Verdict on this place? Domain or a place to pick up jobs?
>>126343241
>>126343427
>>126343650
That's all I got for now.
>>126344005
Huh, why would people throw away TV sets en masse like that?
>>126344168
Because CRTs are for suckers and Melee players, though it's easy to mix to two up.
It is always interesting to see abandoned towns.
Thanks for dumping, anon.

>>126278092
According to the scan's text, Chironupu (romanisation unclear) is the Ainu word for 'fox'/kitsune, and Hareruya (the 15 year-old kid in the suit who works for the Ashura-Kai) is very attached to.
>>126284789
>>126285604
It appears to be this:
>ミカエルの槍・閃(やり・セン)
>'Spear of Mikhail (Flash)'
The second kanji, 閃, is used in 閃く(ひらめく), which can refer to flashes of both physical things like lightning and abstract things like inspiration.
KABUTOMUSHI
>>126347839
So a direct reference to the spear he's wielding. I wonder if there will be weapon specific attacks? Also thank you for the translation anon.

All of them, to be honest. You guys complain about every single fucking SMT game.
But yeah, special mention goes to DeSu, SJ and IV.
Also
>DAN?
No one in their right mind has DAN as a favorite.

Well played, kek.
I don't know what time it is everywhere in the world so better say it now: merry christmas!I'm all alone today so I'll spend christmas eve on /smtg/ today, I love you guys but I feel a little bit pathetic.
>>126360551
Don't feel bad anon. Christmas eve doesn't mean anything in non-anglo countries so you're not the only one. I'll be playing SMT IV on my parents' couch tonight.
>>126360551
Merry Christmas, anon!
>I'm all alone today so I'll spend christmas eve on /smtg/ today
Don't worry, you still got us. And to be honest, it's better to spend Christmas alone than actually going to a family dinner where everyone doesn't care about the others.
Merry Christmas Hee-Eve, hos.
>>126360551
Sometimes alone is better. Just make yourself some sweets and eggnog and enjoy the night you've got to yourself. I'll be getting wasted with you in spirit.
>>126360551
Have a good night, anon. Get drunk, eat junk and candy.
Just started playing IV.
Someone please help with this map. I'm incredibly lost.
>>126362990
Google a real map of real Tokyo. Really, do it. It will help you immensely.
