I want to fuck Haniel.
How about capital letters, OP?
You really look like a faggot if you can't into capital (i.e. Tokyo).
>It's been October 30th for 9 hours and 40 minutes now

we'll get it today, r-right guys...
>>84914096
Four hours, my fellow bonglandian.

>>84914136
Interestingly enough, it'll be midnight, in other words october 31st, in 3 hours 45 minutes here in australia.
>>84914267
S-straya strong ;-;
>>84914267
If you're an eastern state nerd, I'm getting it at 10
>>84914317
You lucky son of a bitch.
>>84913230
Why? Not porn.
I really want to fuck Mirai unlike some other lying bastards who just want to piss others off and be famous on a non e-mouse imageboard
This is for you, christian janny who is allergic to shimapan. I hope you are not offended by this image. I really put some effort in there just for you, my friend.
>>84914990
I would masturbate, but then again she is like 6.
>>84914990
>being this butt obliterated over your shitty image being deleted
>>84915037
To avoid misunderstandings: with effort I meant going out of my way to search an image suited for that pussy of janitor. Obviously I don't have that much talent, uf I had, I'd happily be the resident drawfag.
Nothing wrong with masturbating, buddy.
>>84915098
>doesn't care about SFW images getting deleted on an imageboard where everyone has to be over 18 anyways.
sasuga retard. Not like we need images, amirite?
smt4 will be out before If... translation. Don't know if happy or sad...
>>84915318
You should be happy that there are "new" mainline games getting made.
CHIAKI bEST
>>84915315
>being THIS butthurt
I request the hunger chart! Should it be updated considering the recent and upcoming translations ?
>>84915427
Mah nigga.
>>84915545
That chart is stupid, and you're gay. Fuck off into oblivion.
Are there any smt games where the chaos route could be considered Chaotic Good rather than Chaotic Evil?
>>84915887
Devil survivor 2 its pretty good in.
When does the 3DS eshop update in Europe? I finally want to download SMTIV.
So once I get SMT IV what should I max first?
Is the "glass cannon" max magic build still an option?
>>84916331
DeSu2 doesn't use the typical alignments.
>>84916426
Thank you. I totally did not know that from playing it. Tell me more.
>>84916454
Well if you've played DeSu2 you should actually know that it doesn't follow the alignments at all.
>>84915534
Good arguments, man. Fully convinced me there.Are you the janny? If so, nice work. I hope the payment is worth it.
>>84916530
Holy confrontational paranoia, batman.
>>84916394
Never.At all.
I actually woke up three times last night, always had to check if I could download it now. God, I hate Nintendo. And Sony and Steam and Microsoft and the other digital download platforms as well.
>>84916508
*tips vagina*
>>84916414
>Is the "glass cannon" max magic build still an option?
No. Why the fuck should it be? Yuropoor version is completely different. You can't rely on those infos linked in the pastebin, you have to ask everything you're not sure about here, we'll gladly answer it.
>>84916331
>>84916426
So DeSu2 is the only one that has a "Chaotic Good" route in it?
>>84916698
Is it? Do they talk with bad english accents, and laugh like french faggots?
>>84916638
>this much mad
>>84916394
2 hours and 50 minutes
>>84916614
Are you schizophrenic? Do the voices tell you about that holy confrontational paranoia, batman? Because I'm sure sane humans don't know what you're trying to say.
I've spent 10 fucking hours watching chris chan videos while waiting for this fucking games. Why am I doing this.

Please consider increasing board quality by ceasing to write only in le greentext.
Is there a reason that there so many Neutral guides for SMT4? Is it especially hard to get or the most rewarding or something like that?Law all the way, no matter the game
>>84917131
it's hard to get onto
>>84917161
I see, thanks for the answer.
One more reason to stay with Law
>>84917131
Not really, it's just much easier with a guide. You have to be between -8 and 8 at some point near the end. Knowing about how much answers affect alignments is more than enough though.
Yes, unfortunately the most rewarding like (almost) always.
>>84916786
Depending on your interpretation, SMTII can arguably be said to have a kind of good one. And nocturne's "reset" ending despite being neutral has lucifer congratulate you, so the game vaguely treats it as chaotic.
>>84917321
But anon... infinity + 1 is still just infinity.
>>84917131
Along with having your alignment balanced you also have to finish a bunch of specific side quests. The game doesn't tell you which these are, so even if you manage to get enough points for neutrality, if you don't finish those quests you still get stuck on law or chaos.That's what happened to me on my first playthrough while attempting to get Neutral
Is this what Beelzebub does in his spare time?
>>84917583
What quests are those? The only time I cared about quests was after alignment lock, still got neuter ending.
>>84917626
I'd say I thought he did your mom, but those weren't maggots coming out of her vagina. It was just you.
>>84917678
>>84917583
Just looked it up, apparently you can do the quests after the lock, i guess I just messed up the alignment on my first run
>>84914096
NZ denzien here, I stayed up to midnight and I wasn't rewarded for my efforts. YHVH fucked me over.
Bit over an hour and a half left.
>inb4 it's full of bugs they left in just for us
>>84919884
If it's like Overclocked I'm going to throw a tantrum.
>>84913663
Die heretic
>>84919983
Just a tantrum?
I'm gonna shove the 3ds up my ass in protest.
Then kill myself.
>>84919983
>>84921136
Having never played it, what happened to it?
>>84921369
4 bugs (2 major) upon release that took them months to fix.
Just imagine getting the game nearly 2 years after everyone else and than you get an unplayable version because it freezes all the time.
>3. The "Accident" message in the auction house, when a demon lied about its stats, throws you out of the game and resets the system.
>4. Using the 'Summon' command, no matter in what situation (dead demon etc.) will freeze the game. It will unfreeze after some time if you feel like waiting 5 minutes.
I actually had it written down.
>>84921529
Oh wow. Makes me really optimistic about SMT now. And I thought Bethesda was bad. At least their gamebreaking bugs can be easily fixed by the community.
>>84921529
Uh what? Switching out demons was never a problem for me
>>84921529
They also reversed your first and last name.
>>84922591
Yep. It's rumoured they used an earlier version based on the japanese version or something where the names would be switched.
Almost there bros
>>84923426im edging now, gonna cum as soon as the DL finishes
Pixie for best demonfu.
So SMT4 is released when in europe ?
>>84923868
hopefully in ten minutes
>>84923949
awwwww right
But why eshop only
When were we informed of this bullcrap
>>84924049
A few months ago. I don't remember. It's been a long, strange journey
>>84924049
A few months ago. June, I believe.
Just how difficult is Nocturne hard mode? Would it be better to play it on NG or NG+?
>>84924049
Overclocked didn't crack 10,000 units in europe, SMT sales here are non-existent
Whether that's because it's because we don't like the games or because Atlus are fucking dicks to us is hard to say but the way things are I can understand them not wanting to risk a physical release.
Honestly we should be happy that Sega/Atlus are actually localising a game for once
ONE MINUTE
>>84924170
>strange journey
>tfw no eu release
WHERE IS THE GAME NINTENDO.
WHERE IS MY GAME AT
It's there, get it!
It's here and my SD card is full of course
IT'S OUT IN AUSTRALIA
>>84924508
It wasn't on a region locked console, though
Britbong here, it is out, I am downloading now.
>Coming to Nintendo eShop

>>84924685
Or not.;_;
ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!
>>84924718
But it is.
>>84924718
Reset your 3ds.
>>84924301
Lack of money and frequent back-attacks will be your bane early game and there's a real chance you're going to die horribly before getting out of the tutorial zone.
Downloading now
This seems like it may take quite a while.
IT'S FUCKING HERE.
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.
At this rate it's going to take like 2 hours to download. Holy shit.
Any ideas how long the downlpad will take?
>>84924683
Downloading for ~8 minutes now and not even 20%. Yeah, great work again.
Out in Greece!Like anyone that isn't me cares.
>>84924749
Oh shit yes. When I typed my message it was still saying "available soon".
Happiest day of my week.
>>84924924
>greek
>able to afford a $26 game
>>84924914
How the hell do you tell the percentage for this stuff?
>>84924914
Why do you see a percentage? That always bothered me with 3DS downloads, you never see any progress.
>tfw my card doesn't have enough room for SMT IV unless I get rid of practically everything on it
I'm not fucking getting rid of ALBW when it was the main reason I bought the 3DS XL in the first place. FUCK. Looks like I'll be waiting till the morning...
>>84924913
Fucking nintendo servers...
>>84924973
When you download it by closing your 3DS, and then when you open it, it's shown on the menu.
Welcome to a year ago yurop friends!
Have you managed to stay away from spoilers or just don't care about it? Seriously though, I hope you enjoy the game.
>>84924987
>>84924973
The icon fills the more it's downloaded.Unless I'm horribly mistaken
IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE
>>84924987
If you go sleep mode download and then click on it on the home screen and press Y it has a new downloading bar which is better.
>>84925040
Successfully avoided everything, so I am hyped as fuck.
>>84925108
your friends die
>not having a 32GB card in your 3DS
>>84925121
That is different to pretty much every other SMT main or spin off game...how?
>>84924987
When things are downloading don't they show it as a little box being filled? I guess anon is just assuming the percentage from that
>>84924972
19.99 euros.
And we're not as poor as our country honestly.
Some of us anyway.
>>84925121
A YEAR AND A HALF, WASTED!
>>84925108
Same. Also tfw 3% ;_;
>>84925040
I read some spoilers when it came out, lost interest for about a year and got interested again when I heard it was actually coming out soon
>>84925159
5 for me.
Slow wi-fi FTW.;_;
>>84925157
Hope you enjoy the game we paid for you anon.
I guided Eridanus for my second run of SJ but that sector still critically saps my desire to play the game. I should go back to it, at least Ouroboros won't be such a pain the second time 'round.
Is the DLC at least included?
>>84925243
Shut up, you're not my parents.
>>84925361
They said it would be but Atlus are fucking liars
>>84925368
Are you sure?
>>84925301
Same here, that fucking maze killed my motivation to continue playing. And fucking Ouroboros is a pain in the ass since she regenerates health. Any tips?
>>84925159
I'm at 11, slow as fuck.
>>84924310
I bought overclocked
God this game is so slow
159
>>84925453
Thanks for ruining europe again nazishits
NOT EVEN 10% FUCK
>>84925440
If you reverse "ATLUS" and change a few letters, it's read "SATAN", of course they're liars.
>>84925471
USE AGI SPELLS AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TEAM OF SAME ALIGNMENT DEMONS
>>84925159
8 minutes later I'm at 5%... great.
>>84925153that's the joke
>24%
Bloody hell
>>84925453
Yes.
>>84925602
>>84925484
> Tfw 33% ish.
>>84925471
Fuse your demons.
Sorry to say that IS the only real tip. You need a strong team that can hit its weakness and resist the instant death attacks.
Having Debilitate and Luster Candy does wonders.
If you're lazy you could always summon a few password demons if you have plenty of Macca to spare. Downside is that you're blowing a bunch of cash in demons that will probably only be useful for that fight.
>>84925652
Carry on then son.
>>84925715
>mfw 50%
>>84925796
I dun believe you.
>>84925796
>mfw below 15%

>>84925715
>>84925796
>stuck at 32% for 10 minutes now
Get your shit together Nintendo
Had to delete fucking everything, but finally it's downloading, slowly.
>mfw 0% because no money
I do not attach a face because I do not have one. I am dead.
>>84924681
Are those actual comments made about the game?
I'm feeling sick just reading them knowing how good SMT IV is, they're that mind-numbingly stupid and idiotic.
>>84924691
You're not the only one who finished all his exams, Anon.Gen Chem I exam was fun as hell.
>>84925471
Yeah, see >>84925594 and >>84925724
Spam Agi skills (use Randall's Flame Shot on Space Marine) and debuffs/buffs (only up to +3/-3 or she'll use Silent Prayer and null all stat changes), and be sure to have some resistance to electricity and light. Make sure to have a whole team of demons the same alignment as you to repeatedly spam Co-Op Attacks, to overcome her passive HP Regen.
When you see her use an attack on her second form called "Wave of Death", or the attack "Disaster Cycle" on either of her forms, be sure to tell us how badly it went for you.
Because you WILL be salty as fuck.
Also, congrats on SMT IV, all those who live in Europe!
>>84925849
>>84925991
That looks more like 40-45%ish.
>>84926034
I'd say 46.
>>84926034
If it was it jumped to 50% just now then
>>84924681
I only played Nocturne halfway but wasn't there pretty much the same Law/Chaos stuff in there as well? I get that people are too dumb to realize this is not a Persona game but that seems like someones just spouting nonsense.
>download stuck on 12%
>>84926105
yeah that was what the image was made about, a whole bunch of reviewers were fucking retarded and thought that mainline and persona were the same thing
Seems like their servers went to shit.
Stuck at 30% for quite a while now.
>>84926105
this is 4chan, and moreover this is /vg/. The chances that people are spouting nonsense on any given game is essentially 100%, if not more.
>>84926420
I can't imagine the whole 10 smt fans bringing the store to a halt
>>84926356
Persona players are shit, anyway. We should burn all of them.
I'm off to work soon, if only the servers don't crash again, it might be done by the time I'm back. I fucking hate getting those error codes.
> Just over 50% in half an hour.
Heres hoping I have it on by 3 ish.
>>84926515
Legend tells of people who play Persona AND SMT games who aren't obnoxious waifu faggots and actually realize the difference between SMT and Persona games.
It's cute how excited you europeans are getting.
I hope you enjoy it!
>>84926607
Thanks Ameribro.
I assume.
>>84926607
>>84926684

>>84926970
>not posting the .gif version

are the little balls dropping into the box indicative of anything to do with download speed, suddenly less are falling in each time...
>>84926958
>Naming yourself Guns and going with a gun build
I like it.
>>84927104
I want a bed that can change color now.
>>84927187
That's what it means, yeah. You'll probably get an error code soon and have to restart the download.
It picks up where it left off though.
NINETY PERCENT.
>>84927196
>Not posting the full version
>>84926772
It'll be awhile before we get to that point considering it's not yet announced for localization here in the states.
But yeah those'll be fun times too.
>>84927052
It's not even in the eShop and I doubt it's included with the game.
>Download Finished
About fucking time, why couldn't they release it at midnight. Stupid one hour download.
It's here
So, apparently there are 2 free DLCs and one paid DLC. So much for them all being in there.
AT LAST
IT'S TIME
>tow still at 60%

Experience of the Afterlife [1,49€]
>>84927846
Just got in myself, confirming this.
>>84927846
Again.
That being said, what DLC is actually worth buying?
>>84927846
the White Samurai armor is great and can last you a long time as a fyi
>>84927975
Is it worth having on the first run? I don't want to spoil myself by having some really good dlc stuff for my first time.
>>84928072
Not that anon but sure, it's okay, I guess.
You gotta understand that you're still a glass cannon no matter what armor you use
>downloaded for an hour
>50%
>Karaoke party with friends in an hour
It's like the only choice I have is to kill all of my friends.
>>84928072
You're better off not buying armor for the most part as it's kind of hard to make money in the early parts of the game.
>Full bar
[hype intensifies]
>>84927819
So, are the DLC's worth it?
Since we got the game for 20 and not for 40 like usual I thought that buying them all would be okay.
But I dunno which ones are actually useful, and connected to the story, etc.
Any list somewhere? Or some tips?
>>84928418
But what if they're the same alignment as you?
What then?
>>84928594
I am also curious.
Also what is the experience of the afterlife exactly?
>>84928594
>Want to catch 'em all this time

REMEMBER NINE DAYS APART
>>84928705
It's an EXP grinding area where you grind EXP and some enemies drop items that give even more exp (but then require a battle to level up)
There's also a Money one (enemies drop rare expensive things) and an App Points one. Those are all about getting past a huge grind, especially with the first boss.
>5 PERCENT OF PROGRESS OVER THE ENTIRE HOUR

It'd be neat if that happened again but we'll see.

I don't really care that much but it's strange to see it gone.
Expat of a certain country living in 'Murrika, and wishing all you Europeans a wonderful first playthrough. I hope you all truly have a glorious time, that there are minimal/no bugs, and you enjoy the game as much as I did, dearest friends.So long as you choose Chaos.

>>84932693
Well....yeah. Still only gets me halfway.
>>84932643
I've been just as indecisive so I've been alternating between 1/1/1/2/0 and 1/1/1/0/2 until I decide what build I want.

So I guess eurobros finally got SMTIV? Happy for you guys, it's a great game and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe this will revitalize the general until we get more news about Break Record
>>84934706
and then they'll have to wait for Break Record to come out in EU. Thus the cycle continues
>>84934874

don't be completely accommodating.
also, avoid giving them macca, give them items.
