Last thread: >>99850271
I'm wanting to beat Lucifer in DeSu Overclocked and here's the team I've come up with based on the demons and skills I have available.
Bishamon: Samerecarm, Deathbound, Holy Dance | Fire Repel, Ice Drain, Phys Repel
MC:Holy Dance, Mediarahan, Deathbound | Phys Repel, Mana Aid, Extra One | Blitzkreig

Do you actually expect help or advice in /smtg/? We just talk about how shitty the games are.
>>100051609
You keep asking all these questions like you want your hand held through the whole game.
>>100052237
>>100052508
Sorry, my bad. Overclocked is shit.
>>100052590
Could you? All the demons are scary.
>>100051609
Take that Sraosha, register it, grind up a shit ton of macca, then buy like 10 of them. Run up to Lucifter turn 2 and blitz him down with Holy Dance
>>100051079
7th for Spess Marine
>>100053201
But you can only have 8 demons!
>>100053365
Then buy 7
>>100053365
>>100053406
Ignore my last post, just buy as many as you can so you have backups.
>>100053802
Suck my cock dude.
>>100054659Man, I'd like to fill Juno too, but at least take it to /d/.

He thinks you're a faggot and that you should kill yourself.
>Playing Nocturne on hard
>Beat Matador with no problems
>Get stuck on Thor due to no Elec resistance for Demi and having Uzume as my primary healer
>>100061712
I'm (streamer here) in the same boat. I need another healer. Matador was easy once I stopped using lunge.
>Unicorn is also weak against elec
>>100061712
Yeah, it's impossible to null electric on Demi-Fiend at that point.
Last time I played Nocturne I used Koppa, Minakata, and Kikuri-Hime. That was on normal, though.
>>100062783
Fusing my Uzume into Kikuri-Hime is the strategy I'm going with at the moment, but I need Demi to level up before I can do it.
>>100062750 here
I just fused Kikuri-Hime, it has Diorama and Media
>>100065276
>Diorama
>>100065276
So you got both diarrhea and media on her? That's pretty good.
>>100065276
>Diorama
Does she have paper mache and gluesticks too?
>>100065276
Fuck this guy. That is all.
>>100067843
Just use elec. He's kind of a dumb random fight but it shouldn't take you more than a couple of tries to burst him down

>>100057908
Stop posting your stupid screencaps and stop trying to stir shit up.
Fuck off.
>>100069698
Take it easy, I just thought it was funny. I make fun of all alignments, I just like to joke around.
>>100070042
Are you trying to talk back bitch? Fuck off or else.
I like Heat.
I don't care if it's 4 pm. Wake up.

English version of Maniax Chronicle when?
>>100071782
Can we still say 2011? I wanna say 2011.
>>100071782
No English maniax chronicle, but Nocturne HD with Donte

>>100071714
>>100073013
Holy shit, you're right.
I'm playing Nocturne for the first time. Is there a fan favorite ending to aim for or should I just be a Neutralfag (my personal preference)?
>>100074931
The TDE is usually regarded as a favorite because it's the most comprehensive
Just another peaceful day in /smtg/.
>>100070473
>There will never be a version with both Raidou and Dante chasing you down.
>>100074931
True Demon Ending has the true final boss and overall the most content. Plus it's pretty damn cool. I think all you need to do is beat all the Fiends and finish all the Kalpas in the optional dungeon which is called the Amala Labyrinth if I remember correctly.
>>100076097
Demi-fiend looks like Dante's fuck toy in this.
>>100076329
They're just broing out, man. Not everything has to be so sexual
>>100076384
>They're just broing out, man
Is that how friends act?

Profound sadness.
>>100076517
Yeah
>>100076590
Do you have a single fact to back that up?SMT x Deus Ex when?
>>100076517
You don't act like that with your friends?
>>100076792
I love Deus Ex. It practically already has alignments

No.

>>100084069
Why do pirates feel the need to propagate their piracy on the internet?
I mean yeah be a retard and refuse to buy the games you want to play and want to see more of all you want but this is a little bit strange man. At least you didn't try to justify piracy yet.
>>100080321
http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=58590.0
Download from here and use desmume emulator, i had no problems with this.
>>100084069
This is why #FE happened.
>>100084630
There is nothing wrong with piracy.
Also
>Implying i wanted more DeSu 2.
>>100084796
Otome does seem like the type of woman to like reverse cowgirl
>>100084870
Yeah but DeSu games are shit anyway.
>>100085084
Thats because she is very different when in lewd mode.
>>100085084
Stop sexualizing the mother, please.
>>100085021
There is something wrong with it if you want to play more games like the one you download. If you don't want more games like DeSu2 there really was nothing wrong with it. Also I did never claim that it was theft so your pic was unnecessary.
The problem here is that you smear your shit onto others with the buying games maymay. I want to know why.
Please tell me.
>>100085021
"It's not theft so it's okay" makes just as much sense as "It's not genocide so it's okay"
It's not theft, but it's still a crime.
>>100085913
How is it a crime? Is burning a CD your friend gave you a crime? It's not a crime.

>>100086000
Nice trips.I want to burn them.
>>100085678
I wanted another Growlanser and i actually bought a copy, i pirated DeSu 2 and it got a port/sequel.
Because ATLUS doesnt care if you buy those games, they care those who buy Persona shit so giving money to ATLUS is just contibuting on the cancer.
>>100085021
Then don't play it.
>>100086404
I played it and beat him so people dont say i didnt gave DeSu 2 the benefit of the doubt, it sucked.
>>100086404
Well he can play it, but he shoouldn't buy it if he doesn't want more.
>>100086352
Are you retarded? Do you really think you're the only guy buying games? Obviously there's a social-link craving weeb audience you have to fight against
Do you vote?
>>100085336
Moms need love too
>>100088278
Yeah, from her husband and not a bunch of perverts that obsess over penis monsters.
>>100088370
She's not married. Her daughter is adopted.
I wonder how much Atlus tweaked the translation of BR.
I know that the localization messed around with what characters called each other and now parts of Break Record put emphasis on what characters are calling each other (last name, first name), so if they don't fix that and keep it consistent there's going to be confusion and misunderstandings.
On that note, I wonder how they'll handle the "Miyako-chan" bit.
>>100056927 here
I beat Dante, easy as fuck that I got Focus and Zouchou
Why did they make the beginning scene in DeSu unskippable? They should at least let you skip it on NG+.
>>100090010
That's because saying last name before first name is done in japan but not in the west. people say first name then last name.
>>100091010
That's not what I meant. At all. I'll give an example:
In the Japanese version, Makoto consistently calls Yamato "Chief Hotsuin" or just "Chief", never once "Yamato". In the localization, she's inconsistent and says "Yamato" a few times. So if they don't fix that, her being disgusted with and struggling to call him "Chief Yamato" in BR so he's not confused with Miyako isn't going to make sense.
There's a few other name situations they were inconsistent with and none of them are due to culture. The localization was just careless.
>>100056927
>>100090452
No one gives a single flying fuck, you attention seeking faggot.
>>100090010
It's Fatlus USA. They probably fucked it up even more.
>>100091969
>her being disgusted with and struggling to call him "Chief Yamato" in BR
I can't help but feel like this is a jab at the anime but maybe I'm just too bitter over how bad it was
>>100084870
Supporting DeSu allowed the director to be trusted with a bigger project, namely #FE.
>>100094593
It's not like he's the one writing it. Highly doubt he came up with the concepts of either games.
Blame whoever came up with the ideas and told him to do them.
>>100094698
Gotta blame someone
>>100097363
People should blame themselves for getting their hopes up for nothing. Just the concept of "SMT x FE" has trainwreck written all over it. There is no possible way for that to have ever been a good game.
>>100097689
It's pretty easy to say that now
>>100097791
I've been saying it since the beginning. It's a retarded crossover.
>>100097940
Hindsight is 20/20
>>100099968
I can't see anybody thinking it's a good crossover idea unless they're a blind FE fanboy.
Sup guys, I'm coming to Nocturne from SMT IV so I have a couple questions.
In SMT IV, knowing what demon to fuse next was really easy, because you could sort fusion possibilities by level (and there was the recommended fusion list), so I'd just pick the highest level possible demon. In Nocturne, that's obviously not the case. That being said, how do I know what demons to fuse to make the strongest possible demons given the point I am in the game?
>people hate atlus now
why...
>>100101074
No dual audio
>>100100853
You don't really. A good rule of thumb is that demons of a higher level than the ones you have are good
>>100100853
git gud.
>>100101132
Don't reply bumblefuck
>>100101137
So I guess I'll just be spending tons of time fusing random fodder until I find something high leveled then.
Anyone have the picture of Serph licking that ice cream cone?
>>100103676
But half of the games are on the ps2, shitposting-kun.
>>100103905
Why do you acknowledge him, why do you give him a reason to live
>>100104030
The general is moving pretty slow.
>>100104087
It's always moving pretty slow. Unless someone brings up alignments.Law a shit. Neutral is for losers.
>>100104186
Agreed.
>>100104186
This is objetively correct.
>>100104087
But that's no excuse.
>>100104087
Then post about how you hate SJ
I can't be the only one who noticed this.
>>100104432
>>100104572
My brethren.
>>100104858
>ZOMG!
So tired of Atlus putting memes in their games
>>100105004
White hotpants are gods gift to mortal men.
>>100105120
Atlus USA must have told them people love it.
>>100105242
It's more of Japan's obsession with foreign words and phrases. A lot of teens over there wear clothes with English words on them even though they have no idea what they mean
>>100105318
And the same happens in Eastern culture.
Is Makakaja a thing in SMT IV, or does Tarukaja buff magic as well as physical?
Also what stats should I pair with magic? Luck and a bit of a agi?
>>100105361
>>100105318
Western, I mean.
>>100105318
At least they're not getting random words tattooed onto them.
>>100105432
Tarukaja buffs up magic too, so Makakaja is not present in SMT IV.
>>100105432
I think Tarukaja does both. And yeah, you want Agility mostly. some luck is alright too
>>100105432
It buffs both magic and physical.
All your points into luck.
>>100105504
They do that too.
>>100105654
So is she on sale or?
>>100109372

SMT has a tradition of awesome hat wearing characters.
>>100110786
Nah his hat is lame, only rivaled by Noah´s hat.
Someone post the head wear tier list.
I want SMTV to be a first person dungeon crawler.
>>100112236
Since it will be on handhelds there is a high chance for that to happen.
Find a flaw.

Has a fucked up scar on his arm
>>100112236
I'd like for there to be an option from the beginning of the game.

>>100116183
>IV wasn't first person though
Doesnt means that the next one will not be though, by that logic i wont be hyped for SMT V if its dungeons are as lame as SMTIV.
>>100119265
What are talking about man? There were no dungeons in SMT IV.
>>100119265
I'm just saying that it being on handheld doesn't mean it's going to be first person when we know they can do and have done third person.
Why is Beelzebub harder than the last bosses in SMT:IV?

I personally thought Asherah was the hardest fight in the game. Holy shit she fucked me up.

Did I get a bad rom or something? I'd try again but all my DS emulator stuff is gone and BR releases in three weeks so I won't even bother.
>>100120926
If you already beat the boss, why not just watch the last scene on youtube?
>>100121038
Cause I wanted to get the other endings and do the optional bosses.
You raise a good point though, but again, I'll just wait to play the BR edition.
>>100120926
This happened to me, the cause was the version of the emulator i was using, i downloaded a previous version and worked like wonder.
>>100110001
Hasn't paid his debts for years. Probably makes terrible coffee.
>>100122930
Also, in the entirety of Raidou 1, I didn't see him actually do anything useful. I wasn't sure whether the game was implying tat he helped the investigation, but I just didn't see, or he was actually nigh worthless.
Do you think Demi-fiend's dick has glowing tattoos as well? I need to know for scientific purposes.
>>100123364
It probably looks like a glowstick.
I take it this "Defeat Ares" challenge quest in SMT IV is given to you way before you can actually do it?
>>100123918
You can do it if you have the right team, but yeah, there's no shame in putting it on the backburner for a bit until you're ready
>>100124001

>>100127484
This is real...right?
Which MegaTen character was the biggest mistake?
>>100129801
Teddie.
>>100129939
Any answer other than this is factually incorrect.
>>100129801
Yu Narukami. Like ATLUS basically made him originally a blank slate and then decided to give him a full name and a personality. Like WTF ATLUS? Make you characters player inserts or full characters, fucking decide what you want.
>>100130017
The only one that even comes close is Marie.
>>100129939
>>100130102
He said MegaTen, you goofs.
>>100129801
Dante from the Devil May Cry series
>>100130102
Its sad he doesn't even have a consistent personality.
Do you think Walter is actually afraid of fish, or was that just the crazies talking?
>>100130140
Is this bait or do you really not know the difference between MegaTen and SMT?
>>100130128At least she's supremely fuckable.
Teddie's appeal lies squarely with the homos and fujoshi, two sects of the MegaTen fanbase that have been helping destroy it.
>>100130140
Megaten=Every ATLUS RPG revolving around demons/deities.
>>100130152
Its just all strange. In P4G and PQ he is just labeled P4 Hero but then they make shit like ARena and Dance and gives him a name and a personality. Im not sure what goes into ATLUS head.
>>100130253
As a part of one of those sects I can't really tell you where the appeal lies. He's annoying as fuck.
>>100076942
The original sure did.
>>100130253
As a homo and a light fujoshi (it's been years) I can cleanly say that Teddie is a fucking scumshit. Especially since Persona Q, I want to drown that motherfucker in the ocean.
>>100086000
>burning CDs
What year is this thread?
>>100130216
I like to think that he really is afraid of fish. It falls in line with him not wanting to keep up with the family business even if you can easily chalk it up to him thinking fishing is boring or something like that.
>>100130352
>>100130461
You KNOW you've fucked up when even your target audience hates the character.
>>100130548
Its okay, they still love Adachi and Yu having homolust for each other.
>>100130585
Watch the projecting there.
>>100130654
>3DPD
No thanks.
>>100130626
Hey, that's really true. You would not believe how many of those banshees ship Adachi/Souji. It's kind of disgusting.
Is there a reason why they didn't make Flynn's past life playable? SMTIV could have been split up into two parts and it'd be cool as fuck.
>>100131464
Maybe SMT V will be just that.As much as I loved IV I really hope this isn't the case though.
>>100131562
I reallyREALLYwant to roam around in Tokyo that isn't fucked up.

>>100133625
What if Persona 5 is really SMT if, but realized it wouldn't sell as well so they just slapped Persona on it?
>>100131616
Maybe you're playing the wrong games.
Devil Summoner and Persona are for this pussy shit.
>>100105242
They were wrong.
Dead wrong.
>>100133719
I mean SMT style with demons and shit.
Would you climb the tower of apocalypse for your demonfu, /smtg/?
>>100134058
Did you even play a Devil Summoner?
>>100134158
But that's like Ace Attorney
>>100130253
He looks kind of cute, like the kid from Ouran or Fruits Basket. I haven't played P4 yet, so I only know the stories of his shittiness.
>>100133695
We all know that is Persona 0
>>100136119
If.. was really just a way to bridge SMT and Persona
Like, Dojima was canonically a character alive in SMTI.
>>100137576
And Yosuke plus Saki were in Tokyo Revelations.
>>100143047
The problem with Iv is that it did a bad job of making the underground malls actually look like anyone lived there. The rooms people hung out in didn't even have any furniture.
>>100143154bravo
I blame the 3DS.
>>100143197
But the 2d rooms wouldn't have needed more space to render furniture. They were just images. At least those rooms could have looked lived in, even if the hallways didn't. And realistically the hallways should too. Does everyone sleep and sit on the floor? In an abandoned city full of shit, there'd be plenty enough furniture to go around. Its not like the demons need it.
I also have trouble buying that the people in the tiny living spaces they literally have to stay in for fear of death "don't realize" that the ashura kai are the ones who made the deal with the demons that keeps them out. Like, this reality is the type of thing you'd expect to be an omnipresent reality in your life.
>>100143329
I was talking about the hallways yeah, they'd probably be a lot more crowded and detailed if it wasn't on the 3DS.
>>100143476
I don't need an insane amount of crowd or detail. Just enough to make the place look lived in is all. The drawn 2d rooms alone being drawn with furniture would have been enough.
Should I get Persona 4 and not P4G? I don't own a Vita and Persona 4 on PS2 is on sale.
>>100146218
Get it for PS2 to see if you like it.
I personally prefer the Vita version a lot more (minus a certain character addition).
I wouldn't buy a whole console for one game.

Its nothing like Ace Attorney.
>>100130253
How does he appeal to either of those groups?
>>100147802
i'm more curious about how either of them are destroying it, given that they're the reason Raidou got figures and pushing non-Persona merch can't be a bad thing.
>>100147739
But is it like SMT?

Never mind I thought you said Devil Survivor, sorry.

>Raidou
That's exactly the problem.
When Megaten panders to fujoshi full force you get garbage like DeSu and Raidou, and unneccasary pandering games like Raidou 2 and Record Breaker, and all manage to be even worse games than Persona 4. At least you can actually fuck the girls in P4 which saves it from being unplayable. The same reason makes Marie acceptable.
And Raidou doesn't need figures. There's no reason to add any more male figures to the market. If any of the faggots from any DeSu games get figures I'll kill myself.
>>100149030
That's some misdirected rage, dude. Perhaps Megaten isn't for you if you want a waifu simulator.
I still don't get how Teddie appeals to them unless they're furries, but you probably don't know either so I'll drop the subject.
Speaking of Devil Survivor and figures, has there been any news on that Fumi scale?
>>100149030
But Raidou 2 is funfrom what I've played.
>>100149282
He appeals to them in the same way DeSu 2 shoves Jack Frost down your throat.
Need that kawaii mascot for the whores playing games they shouldn't be playing.
So ignoring the fact its in the SMT universe, how is Digital Devil Survivor on a pure RPG basis? Been looking for a turn based game to rewind after stressful days.
>>100150123
Saga i mean, thats what happens when I am thinking about restarting Devil Survivor when asking a question.
>>100149030
>If any of the faggots from any DeSu games get figures I'll kill myself.
can't wait for the inevitable Yamato Hotsuin figure so you promptly do that.
>>100149817
not enough waifus apparently.
>>100150070
>playing games they shouldn't be playing
JRPGs have always deliberately appealed to both genders. you're thinking from a retarded western gaymer mindset, so the one playing games they shouldn't be playing is you. i don't see the problem with Jack Frost in that game either.
Why is hating Frost cool now?
>>100150806
Because our Atlus overlords have replaced him with Teddie.
Who is obviously far superior and not annoying at all.
>>100150806
Hipsters.
>>100150589
Who needs more waifus when you have Nagi?
>>100151860
Self-insert for girls.
>>100151914
Femraidou?
>>100152010
Nagi
>>100149487
We might get a prototype this summer wonfes.
I'm interested in how well she'll do. Both Io and Airi's figures sold like shit and binned hard, but they came out for the anime and said anime pissed a lot of people off.
