How could you compqre them when they are totally different genre? It's like saying

it doesn't make sense.
That saidRonde > Jack bros.
I'm playing Nocturne for the first time and I just beat matador, but could someone explain why there are now mobs of 5+ enemies that are more difficult to dispatch of than that boss? I'm losing mp and quickly, I don't have near enough chakra drops to compensate either. At the same time, the woman in black wants me to find a save point and go to the labyrinth of amala.
>>144439021
Ignore them and go straight to Ikebukuro.
>>144439021
Listen to anon and try to avoid them, but which enemies in particular? The ones after skeletor aren't that much tougher are they? You should make it to Ikebukuro pretty quick.

Never played an SMT game before. I read the starter's guide in the OP, but I was wondering; would it be worth my time to play all the main series games starting from the beginning in release order? Have the older games aged well or are their systems outdated?
>>144444118
I want to take Nekomata home
>>144444972
Those hips goddamn.
>>144444972
>tfw i fapped to this thinking it was male
>>144444924
I haven't played Megami Tensei I and II yet but SMT I and II are great.
>>144444924
Yes. I'd even recommend it. The old games really aren't outdated but there are people who say SH is outdated, so if you're one of those don't bother playing anything before last year.
>>144444924
I disagree w/ the starter's guide recommending DDS before Nocturne. Fusion is really one of the hallmarks of the series and playing a 50 hour game without it feels wrong, as great as DDS is.
Nocturne, P3FES, or Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei (MT1 and MT2 packaged together) since you seem keen on the older games.
>>144445227
>>144445630
>>144445673
Thanks for the input guys. I enjoy getting into new series and starting all the way from the very beginning and it's always disappointing when the older games either play radically different from the other ones or just are a pain to try and play. I'll look into KMT right now.
>>144445673
DDS is recommended because it's a more traditional RPG and get you used to the combat and terminology.
Why is the regular battle theme for DDS2 so lame.
Why only Nekomata, what about the other demonfus?Not that I'm complaining

This guy fucking rocks. Is it viable to keep a character throughout the game or will he become a benchwarmer for the rest of time after a while?
>>144452443
Use em and lose em unless you decide to go through the tedious process of mitama fusion, but it isn't worth it just because you liked the RNG of negotiation that one time.

what games should get sequels using the new engine? outside the inevitable SMTV-SMTVI and possible half-mainline game?
>>144468820
Raidou 3.
Something entirely new but not Persona-ish.
>>144468820
I'm not sure I see them going to PS4 - the 3DS (and the PSP and PS2 before it) are attractive to middle market developers like atlus, because they have a big userbase and you can get away with having somewhat lackluster graphics on them.
Then again, I can't imagine them making all those new demon assets for Persona 5 and only using them in one game. Atlus doesn't roll that way.

MT 2 is the greatest game of all time desu.
>>144444924
They are outdated. The first couple of entries have dungeon crawling that was primitive even at the time. Not only that, they're really punishing. I'd start with Nocturne on the PS2, just so you don't turn yourself off the series forever by stumbling over the old games.
>>144462540
I'm glad you're getting into it and sharing these same great experiences. You've found a good home here. Also, MT2 is even better.
>>144475378
Just made it into Bien, fighting a skeleton. I cannot wait to get to MT2. There's so much to explore and things to find, and all the music is catchy as heck.
>>144477067
Bien was a really cool area, actually. Playing KMT more than any other game in the franchise got me really into dungeoncrawling. Also, if you love the music in that game, MT2 will be a blast.
This belongs here

What's with them being drawn like that? Nebiros only has a passing resemblance and Alice doesn't even look like herself.
Famitsu polled Japan for their most memorable games per console. Any games you think should have ranked in the top 10? Anything weird?
5th Sega Saturn: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
3rd PlayStation 2: Persona 3
9th Xbox: Shin Megami Tensei: Nine
5th Wii U: Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE
4th PSP: Persona 3 Portable
1st Vita: Persona 4 Golden
5th DS: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
4th: Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
7th: 3DS: Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse
>>144481267
Nocturne should've been on P3's place. Or DDS. Or Raidou.
Nips and their shit taste as usual but at least Nier was first place on the PS3 ranking.
>>144477868
"...and I'm really into computers and I like books on the occult."
>>144481425
I think when it comes to the PS2 SMT had a REAL hard time.
FFX, DQVIII, Yakuza, MGS3, KH, Ace Combate 5, Drakengard. Thankfully Persona 3 got recognised, it's the Evangelion of video games, so I'm happy it got on the list. Twice even.
>>144477868

considering how bad the game supposedly was, what are the chances they did it as a joke because they were having trouble thinking of exclusive xbox games, which would make sense seing as most of Japan doesn't care about the Xbox at all
>>144487620
I think it's because Japan love JRPGs and the Xbox didn't have a lot
here are their top 10 Xbox games:
10. Shikigami no Shiro
9. Shin Megami Tensei: Nine
8. Otogi: Myth of Demons
7. Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller
6. Panzer Dragoon Orta
5. Steel Battalion
4. Ninja Gaiden
3. Dead or Alive 3
2. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
1. Halo

Good evening smtg
What level should I be around to fight Medusa in Megami Tensei I? I got her close one time but the whole battle is a huge struggle for me.
This is real, right?
>>144481267
Strange Jouney is very...strange and surprising because DS has lots of interesting games but I guess you don't find another jRPG with the same premise. Mind that SJ didn't perform too well.
Also PQ? Really?
>>144488658
Can't blame them for loving Halo. Have you seen what a Japanese FPS is like?

Are you implying that more than 1% of the western players even know what mainline is? A lot of those who do were disappointed because SMTIV wasn't a true SMTPersona game because no social links.

>>144491740
Nier is a meme game at this point, anon. While I enjoyed it, the quality is really overblown by /v/.
>>144509493
If I remember correctly you need to present a demon to the doors with a high stat.
>>144507231
There's a fangame called 幻想少女召喚プログラム DS小悪魔, but I haven't tried it yet. The artist does a good job at mimicking Kaneko's SFC spritework style. If anyone could rip the sprites, that would be much appreciated:
http://www1.axfc.net/u/3562565
>>144510549
But I opened the Str one with 40 fucking Str
>>144510991
Not him, but thanks. Sounds cool.
>>144509493
IIRC, you need to have minimum of 20 Strength, Magic and Luck to open the three main doors from the main hall, and 25/30 to open the other doors you will find inside.
>>144511007
There's no fucking way you require 40 I can tell you that much.
>>144511167
Does it have to be 20 base Mag? I have 12 base and 20 with magatama but it didn't open so I guess it is
>>144511975
Yes, only base stat points count.

Don't worry, used Incenses also count.
>>144523143
Any idea where to get Ma incense?
Does anybody have any of the images of the devil survivor comp start screens or the logo for communication players? I'm struggling to find them.
>>144524132
You can try winning one at the Junk Shop. I forgot if you need to spend 500 or 1000 Macca to get a Lucky Ticket, but what you want to do is get 9 Lucky Tickets, walk around until it's about to get Full Kagutsuchi, save, and get the 10th Lucky Ticket on Full Kagutsuchi. The shopkeeper Manikin will let you pick one of the three treasure boxes, and one of them (the middle one, iirc) has a random Incense. If you'll get the Incense you don't want you can always reload your save file.
Is there anyone trying to gather up phones with the MegaTen cell phone games on them now that they're no longer being sold? Is there any way they could get the game files off of them? I'm worried that those games will be completely lost to time. Some of them sound really cool and I'd love to be able to play them.
>>144462540
What I liked about Megami Tensei was that you can go to the map screen and see your end goal and how much more is ahead of you right from the start. Twists and turns are certainly entertaining but having a simple end goal the entire game also has a nice charm to it.
>Is this how the games are like cuz this is rad.
You're in for quite the ride, my friend.
>>144475378
I kind of want a 3D remake of the first two MegaTen games cause I want to see the MT2 MC in more than just the world map. He's so fucking cool.
>>144529381
>Nakajima
>cool
He's a huge nerd. And an asshole.
>>144529381
No one is other than the guy whose girlfriend had some Persona ones.
>>144529902
The MC of MT2 is not Nakajima, shitlord.
>>144529381
One of my biggest fears is that we'll never find them.
>>144462337
I'd totally play a romhack of Megaman based off this.
>>144530018
I wish companies took game preservation more seriously.
>>144530018
Woops, misread that as MT.

But seriously, are you saying he had an actual reasoning besides trying to look like Hikawa?
>>144536682
Right, we'll deal with this quickly~
>>144536798
Yes, most of the other lawfags during the shitstorm had as well. Neutralfags were a bit unlucky because they had the most retards on their side. I can only remember one guy who actually tried to argue for Neutral instead of just shitposting "law=Nazis", "muh genocide", or shit like that.
The White were right.
I need fanart of Isabeau/Bobo being shot while protecting Flynn in a corner of a wall.
>>144537181
That's fine and dandy but why was that guy obsessed with wearing Hikawa's beads again?
>>144537482

>Duel
>4 on 1
Is this ever acknowledged in-game? I know it's just one of those gameplay/story loop-holes.
I think I remember the same thing when you fight Thor in the Mantra jail, the dialog makes it sound like Demi beat him in single combat when clearly he didn't, this being a turn-based jrpg and all.
Has anyone read this? It's apparently related to/about If...
What are the best and worst MegaTen games that currently don't have English translations?
>>144538273
I'm gonna grab the nip copies since I have the if... manga it's a sequel to. All is translated into French but only two were published in English.
>>144538591
Best: If..., Majin Tensei I/II, Giten
Worst: Ronde, NINE
>>144539039
This, even though I still hate If... for the World of Sloth.
>>144539039
I don't know much about Ronde. Are the mechanics actually bad or is it just how slow and shitty everything looks?
>>144539293
The mechanics themselves aren't terrible although they are a step down from Majin Tensei, mostly it's just how awful it looks and feels that puts people off.
>>144468820
>>PS4 is likely next
>>144539039
Ronde and Nine are relatively cheap since I guess nobody wants them. I'm kind of tempted to pick them up for shits and giggles.
Is there any webm of Nocturne's True Demon Ending?
>>144488658
Maybe it was pack in, so everyone got to play it.

I think it would have been cool to have Izanamai as a playable character. It could have the characters react the opposite of how they do usually. As you do well they would react negatively and when you fuck up they'd be positive.

My friend told me I should watch out for a move which could return all my demons of the same alignment, so I thought I could be a clever bastard ane go all phys with demons of different alignments. What I didn't know was that this fetus reflects both physical and gun attacks, and now I don't know what to do. My demons aren't all that hot, either.
>>144558794
get better demons
>>144559082
But then I have to grind again, and there really aren't many good demons available at level 68. Most just die in one hit because I can't have resistamces to everything. I guess I don't have a choice?
>>144559280
I didn't play SJ yet, so I honestly can't offer proper advice. I'm sorry.

I've been playing Nocturne for the first time and just got to Asakusa. I was wondering if it would be better to fuse my Sarasvati into a Kushinada or if I should wait until I can fuse it into a different demon.
The stats that Kushinada has are fine, but themoveset she lears is lacklustre while being weak to death spells is a big red flag.

What are your alternative demons?

While this isn't the moveset I've been trying for, it does show her weaknesses and stats.
Sarasvati is god tier so far, but I could see that dropping off as the game progresses.

Remember you can always use the compendium. You can have both Sarasvati and Kushinada if you'd like.
I personally always like having a Mana Refill demon or two in my stock with healing skills so I can freely heal throughout the game, so make sure you keep that.
