first for smt is gay
What makes SMT girls so tasty?
Why is there an actual studying function in P3. What the hell.
>>126946142
Why wouldn't there be? You gotta be real smart if you want to eat burgers with Mitsuru.
I remember a lot of people complaining back a year ago that they kept getting lost in SMT IV.
It's actually pretty simple and I only got lost once looking for some domain before I realized half of them are random. Are people just dumb?
>>126945827
OP why you gotta start the last thread of 2015 with such an abomination? You dick.
>>126946660
People got lost while searching for the Heavenly Kings.
>>126946786
I feed on your suffering.
>>126946660
>Are people just dumb?
Do you have to ask?
>>126946849
>implying
There are retards on /v/ who got lost as soon as they exited the Tower
>>126946660
To be fair who the fuck would think to go back to Fujiwara to progress the neutral route?
>>126947078
Well I got lost while searching for Jikokuten.
>>126946142
You need academics for some social links
>>126946142
For getting good grades, duh.
>>126946142
You go to school.
It's not nearly as stupid as drinking coffee at night to charm people with.
For the sake of future generations that get to play a patched SMT IF... I'd like to offer this advice.
There will be a time in this game where you'll be thinking, it can't be that bad, right?
This game should be getting better, not worse, right?
There's no way the developers would do this to us, right?
I'll just spend hours in fusion trying every combination in order to get Estoma, and turbo mode through this, right?
Adorable.
The Atlus' programmers, in 1994, foresaw the invention of emulators with turbo functionality, and programmed their step/moon phase counter to not track steps taken in turbo mode.
Yes, you'll have to pace those mines in real time. For six months. In a dungeon designed to teach you to stop procrastinating and work hard.
I legitimately hate this game.
>>126948858
>For the sake of future generations that get to play a patched SMT IF...
So, for no one?
>>126948858
>and programmed their step/moon phase counter to not track steps taken in turbo mode
How is that even possible?
>>126949156
Upon further experimentation, I have discovered that the route I was sprinting up and down in turbo contained an NPC, as most do. The area is littered with them to force you to skip through repetitive dialogue as you pace.
And some reset the counter on your current moon phase. They're densely packed enough on some pacing routes to indefinitely reset your current moon phase.
Sorry, gave Atlus too much credit. Game is more broken than I thought.
>>126948858
>>126949648
If...is shaping up like a clusterfuck of a game.
Can't you just use some sort of cheat to bypass that part or something? Like a 2x Moon phase speed?
>>126950324
Sadly, a clusterfuck would be preferable because things would actually be happening. Every dungeon has been extremely short, sparse on detail, and designed to waste as much time as possible through mob/boss/gimmick difficulty.
I already dug through a Japanese site listing PAR codes, but I don't know that anything like a moon code exists. I've used PAR codes on SMT 1 before when I was ripping background assets for a phone theme and disastrous, game breaking results followed. I think the coding is just too convoluted.
>>126950908
I still wanna play it though. At least to see how bad it is.
Is the story anything noteworthy?
>>126951152
The story is Megami Tensei I tier. That might be unfair, because I at least found MT1's world to be interesting (dungeon layout, a flyable city, sea of flames, etc).
>Evil student sends school to the abyss
>Warp to tiny, compartmentalized dungeons to fight a monster and get key to next dungeon
>Repeat
This isn't someone saying "oh in Strange Journey all you do is fight a monster to get key to next dungeon repeat hurr durr". That's omitting a lot of details and character moments.
I'm actually being totally descriptive here. I really hope something happens soon, maybe some huge twist will come along but it's not looking good. If I get through this without murdering a single friend I will lose my goddamn mind.
>>126952217
Oh don't worry anon. Soon there will be murder.
>>126952217
Why is he thinking about Pascal the dog?
>>126953117
Because Pascal the dog is not there.
Should I get Soul Hackers digitally or the physical copy w/ CD.
That digital sale is tempting.
>>126953362
>physical copy w/ CD.
Why would you want a CD with a pair of musics? Just get the digital version or buy a normal physical edition.
>>126952460
Good. The students are just starting to finish their shafts and I killed a fat guy so I think I'm finally about ready to move on in one more cycle.
Last 2-3 dungeons better be pretty stellar to make up for this shit.
What did they mean by this?
>>126955385
>the one on the left
You're welcome Anon.
>>126955914
Why is Seraph art so bad?
>>126955385
I want this meme to fucking die so badly.
>>126955975
Not sure if bad or they wanted to draw a dick
>>126956395
I mean that the face never actually looks anything like Seraph's face.
is DeSu OC supposed to be grindy? or am i just shit at 1337 strategy
>>126957352
use free battles
>>126957724
that's what i do... alot. that's why im wondering if it's meant to be grindy
>SMT IV Final
>Endings are determined by your relationship with your partners
>most of your partners are cute girls
Where were you when the age of waifus came upon us?
Also Dagda's design is cool as fuck. Not convinced about the protags though. I think the punk hairstyle is a little over the top.
>>126958292
I hope they can make the endings satisfying. I've never really cared for the alignment system, largely because of how biased the series is towards Neutral. Nocturne's system has always seemed better to me on a conceptual level, but none of its endings/routes had enough variance/their own identity, they were all very samey compared to the games that used the alignment system.
>>126958292
>Implying I would ever use anyone except Isabeau, Nozomi, or Hareruya/Hallelujah
Most of them are about 15, strangely. It's like everyone's either almost-20 or in their 40s.
>>126958487
According the developers, ever single ending is a different form of Neutral. Your actions and your relationship with your partners determine which ending you get.
>>126958618
That's not really weird. I mean, the foundation rose 20 years ago, and it would be the people in their 20's who'd have the best chance of survival. Whereas most of the first generation born after the Foundation would be around 15-20.
Also
>not going with based Toki
>>126958654
>ever single ending is a different form of Neutral
And Reasons were supposed to be different from the LNC system. I'm seriously wondering how they're going to make Peace and Anarchy different from Law and Chaos on an appreciable level.
>>126958968
They'll probably go the Devil Survivor overclocked route.
>>126959082
Overclocked had law and chaos.
>>126959829
But they were both heavily tinged with Neutrality, what with Abel actively defying both demons and angels to get a better ending for humanity.
>>126960404
They were pretty clear cut m8
>>126960593
Compare them to basically any other Law/Chaos ending in mainline and tell me they aren't much more Neutral in nature.
>Autism demands I map the whole dungeon
>Trap floor tiles god damn everywhere
How soon until I get I sub app that at least reduces damage? Or float balls or something.
>>126961352
Nurse, medic are those. You get them around erindanus. and status-protecting rings help against status traps(don't get inflicted)
>>126963062
Looks like I'm just gonna suck it up and map. I hope this doesn't fuck me over.
Bufula or Ice Breath? I can only keep one. I know Bufula does more damage but Ice Breath is multi-hit even if it's only 1 target.
>>126965219
Bufula.
>>126965265
thanks, thought so
>>126961352
Just control your autism anon. Tell it to fuck off and ignore mapping the dungeons.
>>126964375
Wait til erindanus, there's also a side quest to map floors, and getting Macca in general for mapping, wait then.
>>126948858
Stop being so slothy
I see SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked is on sale on the eShop, should I go for it?
>>126971102
Sure. There are cute girls.
Finally got neutral path on SMT IV, now to do every single thing I didn't and get the 2 fiends I need to fuse my favorite whore.
>>126971523
who might you be referring to anon?
>>126972153

GUYS HOLY SHIT
I was looking around an old shelf and realized I'd left some Dreamcast games on that shelf behind some stuff years ago and I just fucking found this
I don't even remember owning this game, I must have gotten it when I was four years old and completely forgotten
I was talking to a friend about this game like two days ago and here it is

Overclocked without a doubt. DeSu is the best spin off series.

Both.

Does /smtg/ like the demons featured in the SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI games and spinoffs?

Wait, aren't you supposed to map every dungeon in SMT games? So you don't become underleveled.
>>126976118
>Wait, aren't you supposed to map every dungeon in SMT games?
No but i always do aniways.
>>126975914
But the only right way to play it is to get all the medals.
>>126975969
Demons aren't that different from humans in SMT. Some are nice, some are jerks trying to fuck you up, and others want to fuck you just like real life.
>>126976264
>mfw i'm mapping every dungeon in SMT1.
No wonder SMT1 is so easy.
>>126976549
Same. It was really easy for me because of that and going neutral.
>>126976323
You have been playing too much of these shitty WRPGs, demons are just tools, the ones you have shall be used and the ones you don't have shall be destroyed.Except Pixie, Pixie is special.
Does smt4 take place after strange journey? Continuity doesn't matter but with the whole amala network going on, where do you anons think it should be placed?
>>126981349
I feel like we would've gotten some sort of callback to what happened during SJ in CDF logs. I think it's just a parallel with a few similar things, like the Demonica.
if i dont merge monster am i fine?
>>126960839
what about SMT2's Chaos ending, which is just a better version of Neutral
>>126981349
My idea was always that SMT IV takes place after SJ, since it's made clear in SJ that the Schwarzwelt will inevitably reappear. Makes sense to me that it would eventually come back, and without Doomguy around to shut it down again, the CDF became a thing but eventually failed anyway. It would explain why they use Demonicas, considering they'd been useful in the past.
>>126981349
I recently came upon this image. Is this even plausible?
>>126982773
It's bullshit.
>>126982773
But that timeline doesn't haveany of the cell phone games
Or SMT Nine
>>126982773
I'm about to sleep, will look harder into that in the morning, but it is pretty close.
The only thing that I see that I would correct is Raidou. He would be in the center, kicking off a bunch of universes.
>>126982773
The lineup of SMT1/if... to Persona/Devil Summoner, SMT1-SMT2, and DDS1-DDS2 are the only ones significantly supported by in-game material. The rest are fairly speculative but not entirely without basis. For example, the claim that SMT3 follows from the SMT1 Chaos ending is based on a quote from Kaneko that said something like "the artistic and moral sensibilities of the world in SMT3: Nocturne essentially draws more from the SMT1 Chaos route than any other source". But that's not the same as saying it's a sequel of that, of course.
>>126982773
It's nonsense. Just look at the bullshit it has to pull to integrate Nocturne into the chart. This is what happens when fans take references and easter eggs more seriously than the developers.
The simplest and most consistent explanation is that there is a megaten multiverse and occurrences in these universes can bleed into each other through supernatural entities, but there is not a strictly linear time relationship between universes
>>126983447
A lot of speculation are confirmed on Raidou 1, but people did not give attention ( or fucks for that matter ). Game was too cluncky for most people's taste.
Raidou 2 confirmed a few others, literally joined a bunch of stuff, and solidified Raidou the 14th as one of the biggest, strongest characters in the multiverse ( which people usually don't accept ).
Worth to note that Raidou is literally Kaneko's favorite child, by far. Both Raidou games were passion projects, stuff that he did how he wanted, hands on and etc.
> tfw when would give up SMT IV for Raidou 3, because it means Kaneko is on the house
Before I go, here it is a fairly recent Kaneko picture.
>>126984446
I would give up SMT4 for Raidou 3 just because we never got a full on kill your friends mode for the raidou games and Radiou 3 was shaping up to be just that.
Reminder that SMTcucks parrot the opinions of the amazing banana fucker, Rasen, and Thunderf00t
>>126985962
Who?
>>126985129
>we never got a full on kill your friends mode for the raidou games
You get to kill waifuAkanein the law route and friendDahnin R2 though.

I got SMTIV for Chrimbo, do I go law or chaos. Can I romance Walter? Is there any way to warp out of fucking Naraku or do i have to keep doing back and forth? Pls help, I've never played an SMT game before in my entire life.but I have played P3FES for 100+ hours.
>>126987363
There's no tumblr agendas in Japan, in general.
>>126987531
Try for neutral unless you have a hard-on for one alignments already, if you don't you'll just be disappointed. You cannot romance Walter but he's the Chaos hero if it makes a difference.
>>126987531
>law or chaos
Answer questions honestly and see what happens, especially since this is your first SMT.
>can I romance Walter
No.
>is there any way to warp
There are locations you can warp to and from, but they don't become abundant until you're almost out of Naraku.
>>126987645
Besides the ones the UN is trying to force over there.
>>126987531
do a blind runor nuetralno you can't romance walter.

>>126976118
I did this in MT1 and ran out of MAG, the game became almost impossible, since I was in the Sea of flames and almost all enemies don't give MAG, so I remember I managed to solo the dungeon with only the two heroes. At least in MT2 I could grind for MAG and have healing points nearby.

>why do cu chulainn and setanta look so fucking ugly
You play the game called suicide, faggot.Nocturne if you really like it. DeSu: OC if you want something more character focused like Persona.
>>126989057
>>126989153
I don't mind if it's character focused or not. Just which is easiest for me to obtain. Does Nocturne have a digital ps3 copy?
Also, I just remembered I have a copy of Raidou vs The Soulless Army as well, so maybe that should be next.

I don't know, you guys just seem to take offense to having SMT compared to less-serious games like Persona.
The general mood in this game until this point was relatively serious as well.

>>127000250
I do not comprehend.
So with the Nintendo exclusivity deal now finished and the last Atlus game on a Nintendo platform, SMT F being made what does this mean for SMT?
Will it return to being a Sony series? PlayStation/Xbox multiplat? Sony/PC?
What do you think?
>>127002876
i'd like to see consoles die after this generation and i think it might be possible

>>127004358
If that happens they move to phones, not PCs.
When do you guys think SMT IV, DeSu 1 and 2 and Persona Q will be ported to PS VITA?
>>126993769
He never wanted to kill Beth, she sacrificed herself to protect you. Daleth thought that Beth was being manipulated. He's really not a bad guy, just ended up on the wrong side of fate.
>>126982773
Here's the official Atlus approved one.
>>127002876
Chances are they're gonna milk the shit out of P5 first and then reuse the assets.Hopefully.
>>127004358
SMT games in my Steam store? Unthinkable!
>>127004803
Probably never. I don't dislike the idea but I'd rather they use the time/budget for new mainline/spinoff games.
>>127005032
come to think of it, SMT2 is still the farthest into the future that they've gone, isn't it
maybe DDS is farther
>>126993769
When playing through the full story (SMT1-2), you are presented with a nonstop stream of death and despair. The stupid Infidelity Sap arc is the one bit of comic relief you get for the whole ride. Enjoy it while it lasts. Or don't and take it out on Puck.
And yeah, Daleth shows up later, at least on the Chaos route.

Personally, I hope I can finish all mainline games before 2017.
>>127016659
Get off my lazy ass and beat DeSu Lucifer and DDS2 Satan.
>KOWASHITAI idol group sings the Fire Emblem theme before the final battle
YEAH I GET IT. No need to rub the salt into the wound, Atlus.Honestly I might buy this game when it comes to the States because it could potentially flop here and it'll be a nice rare game to keep wrapped up. I don't even own a Wii U, nor do I have the intention of buying one ever.
>>127016856
Why would you wanna waste your cash like that? It'd have very little collector's value, you know.
>>127016856
Physical games still have value down the line when people can just buy digital copies or pirate the shit out of everything?
>>127016659
100% SMTIV, Overclocked and Record Breaker. Still got plenty of routes to tackle.
>>127016969
Same reason why I bought SMT NINE. I can't play it technically, but it holds meaning to me. I like to own things that failed when the makers had ambition for it.Who am I kidding. This game will probably sell more in America than it did in Japan because the Wii U is starved of JRPGs.
>>127016659
Finding at least one more Fiend in SMTIV.
I still haven't beat Law because I'm on my Neutral save trying to find the damn things.

Nah, NINE at least has value value as an SMT game. Kowashitai has none.
Don't think it'll sell just because of a lack of Wii U JRPGs.
>>127017213
You're probably right. Seeing as how not even FE and SMT fans want nothing to do with this game, the only demographic is a different one and it'll be difficult convincing those weebs to buy it, I think.
>>127017365
I've said it a few times - it's the game nobody wanted in the guise of the game a lot of people wanted. I mean, the game was practically destined to fail as soon as it dropped off the radar entirely for as long as it did. It's a real shame, too. I get sad thinking of what could've been.
>>127017678
It will be fun if they release some concept art of their previous ideas in inevitable artbook.
>>127018408
If you enjoy feeling bad over what could have been maybe.
>>127018408
There's...literally nothing good that can come of this game, man. Hurts, but it's true.
>>127017678
I'm not so sure that a lot of SMT players would have liked the original idea anyway, since it was meant to be a fantasy SRPG.
I mean I'm sure you guys would have liked it more than this game, but it would have mostly appealed to FE fans or SRPG nuts like me, most likely.
I'll spend the night with friends eating a lot and watching anime instead of shitposting with you guys like during Christmas, so happy new year a bit early!

I was looking at some English patched physical copies of KMT, SMT, and SMTII. Apparently they're sold on eBay, but they won't answer which translation they're using (Orden fix, for example) or if the auto mapping patch for SMT1 was included.

Boss theme is pretty good. What a waste.
I can tell you if Final was announced at the same time as SMT x FE was reintroduced, the reaction would have been very different. There is a good reason why FE fans were less angry: FE If was on the horizon and got a new trailer during the same direct. If new FE wasn't coming there would have been twice as much butthurt.
Anyone have a hard time remembering chingchongy names
>>127020743
Depends. There are some common names that are easier to remember.
>>127020743
I remember a name pretty easily if I see it enough, but the ones that are hardest for me to remember are the ones with really weird names like the Aztec demons.
Japanese ones aren't really THAT hard to remember, if I do forget some of them it's probably because so fucking many of them are in the game.
>>127020743
It's pretty easy when you have some Japanese knowledge. I doubt I could memorize Kasumigaseki or Chirijiraden or Kikuichimonji if I didn't knew the kanas.
>>127020743
During my run of SMTIV, I kept mixing up Shinjuku and Shibuya and always went to the wrong one whenever prompted. So yeah, I'm pretty bad at it.
>>127020743
Nah, but I've been a weeb since middle school so I'm used to them.
Well, SMT If... was shit. Vague, minor spoilers below.
>Tiny, linear dungeons with high difficulty + new Guardian mechanic to encourage heavy grinding. The final secret dungeon in the "true" route is seriously just one floor. Clearly designed to minimize developer effort while maximizing user play time.
>A dungeon entirely dedicated to making you pace up and down some corridors for 8 in-game months. It's not a puzzle, an NPC flat out tells you what you need to do. Really. Just pace for hours on end in an area with an encounter rate that puts SMT 1 to shame. Good luck fusing a specific demon with Estoma using the SNES-era fusion system!
>Garbage plot. The villain is a (somehow) less competent and more obnoxious Nakajima. The true manifestation of /r9k/. He's super powerful though and sends you and the school to the abyss by way of... uh... never really explained, and then makes you fight a boss to get a key to fight more bosses and so on. Generic Persona 4 dungeon-tier events happen on the "true" ending. I think Akira's route is slightly more SMT in nature, but hell if I'm playing that again to find out for sure.
>NO FRIEND KILLING. Unless you somehow considerCharley's attempt to cure Stone statuswhich you have the choice to partake in.
Things SMT If... did right:
>Some character routes have exclusive dungeons, encouraging replay. However, you have to go through that horrible fucking pacing dungeon every time, so just look up the endings online instead.
>A few nice dungeon tile sets, specifically World of Wrath.
>Saxophone Unicorn boss
I loved Kyuuyaku and SMT 1+2 so I'm pretty gutted by this. Don't let me discourage you though, if you have more tolerance for sheer tedium or crippling autism you might almost enjoy this game.

STOP BEING SO SLOTHY
>>127026105
I can't wait for this game to be patched.
>>127016659
Defeat Demi-Fiend in DDS1, I fucked it up last cycle by giving Cielo 99 of Luck.
>>127026105
>Saxophone Unicorn boss
who?
also what version of Chefei did you fight?
>>127028849
>he doesn't know
>>127028849
That's the fox that changes depending on how much you took right? Never got the chance since I picked Charley. I just read the translation for the girls' routes, not going through again for that boss, even though it sounded like a neat mechanic.
>>127004358
Never ever.
The casual market will always prefer to plug in and play, even if that means moving to mobile. But that as well is very unlikely, because mobiles don't allow you to have proper multiplayers or online play.
Even if consoles need to change, they are going to stay relevant.
>>127031386
Not being able to sit in front of the computer all day doesn't make someone a casual.
SMT x Kamigami no Asobi
Wake up desu.
>tfw don't own a single physical copy
I don't even know where to begin
>>127035531
Easier to find ones like SMT IV aren't bad starting points.
>>127035771
Checked gaming stores and general pawn shops with gaming sections, haven't seen any mention of any SMT games except Persona Q
>>127036112
Amazon or Craigslist.
>>127036218
>SMT:IV Currently Unavailable
>No image
>No information
I.. don't think they sell it.

If you want physical copies I think you'll have to import, and then there's region locking to deal with too. I should've figured you were a Yuropoor from the start.
>Only physical copies are P4G and Record Breaker because I pirated everything else
....Oh YHVH I am the highest form of pleb.
DON'T OPEN IT
>>127037183
I pray Persona 5 is released in Europe.
>>127031539
And that is my point.
The people who can go out of their way to build a PC is lower in comparison to the people who just want to plug-in and play with their friends.
PC gaming may be "superior", but I don't see consoles dying anytime soon.
>>127037447
There are services that build you a PC based on the parts you request. If sellers can avoid ripping off consumers, prebuilt PCs will keep getting more popular too.

I still think he looks like a lesbian in cosplay
>>127037414
To this day I don't understand what people see in Yasuda's art.
>>127037805
I think Atlus' exact words to Yasuda were: "design an otome game character".
>>127037880
He panders to fetishes, that's about it.
>>127038004
He looks sort of similar to Shizuru from Phantasy Star Portable 2.
>>127038004
Makes sense.
He acts like one, too.
>>127037414
Thanks for the gift.

i'm hesitant to ask what's happening in this image.
Is Soul Hackers supposed to be oddly easy?
>>127039889
it's not too difficulty
More translations.

It's easy. Only the last boss will give you trouble.
