I don't wanna try to fight this love.

You forgot to link the previous thread

Oops, thought I did. My bad.

Nice, I also wanted to have DDS in the next OP.

Thread's theme:
youtube.com/watch?v=LOuxOvYV_CU

Russia apparently got rangebanned from the site. Not sure how long it will last.

It's already over.

This must be the work of an enemy DebiSama!

What is your favourite SMT game and why?

If we mean real SMT, Nocturne because I like Press Turn and I don't like handhelds.

If we mean anything, DDS2 because futa.

The first one for setting, plot and characters.
FINAL for gameplay and fusion.
SH and SJ for dungeon crawling.

Nocturne. First SMT game I ever had, barring Persona 3 FES. Still have the original PS2 CD with instruction manual. Still have my original PS2 next to me too, from 2002-3ish.
Still works like new. Haven't used it in about a year now, maybe two. Use it several times every couple years.

Also DeSu 1/OC for characters and plot.

Who here is Christian? How does that affect how you play SMT?

>Christian
DEMI FIEND'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE

Don't summon anyone

I don't really care because it's not actually God.

I'm just afraid my family will interpret "Devil Summoner" as something else and send me to a mental facility.

My first runs are always law

Wake up

CAN'T WAKE UP

SWEET DREAMS!

Guy who started the series at Megami Tensei, just beat Lucifer and am headed into MT2. Is the normal strat of "Vit/Str for Male Hero, Int/Spd for Female Hero" the preferred way of going about this?

I think it's applicable for MT1 - SMT2.

bump?

I'm a Muslim and a neutfag.

I don't think they send you to mental asylums for heresy these days.

My priest said it was OK as long as I realized it was just a game and didn't let it shake my faith, and he said that when I told him about SMT II. Including the final boss. So I don't worry about it.

Damn son, you should've recorded that shit because that would've been some quality cringe content

No bullying. Please respect everyone.

ONE MORE GOD REJECTED

ONE LESS THREAD ARCHIVED

welcome to my virtual reality
do you like it?
I made it so you could die here

...

...

I'm glad he was so open-minded about it. I feel like Christians shouldn't get triggered by SMT just like with the Golden Compass.

...

...

I'm an atheist and I don't care.

Oh shit

...

I'm really digging this final boss in Raidou

What's better, smtiv or devil survivor for 3ds?

In terms of overall story, character development, and demons etc

Killed a failure of a god and beat Raidou. I really want to finish DDS2 next, but I still have to beat the special bosses. Should I beat the game, save in a clear slot, then go back to previous save and beat the extra bosses? Or should I beat the extra bosses then beat the game?

I'm thinking of playing DDS next too
If I was you I'd take out the special bosses after finishing the game

How do I beat Mot?
I don't have any electric pokem-- Err- Demons.

Pic related is DDS2 optional bosses. Spoilered because spoilers.

Get some digimon with Zio then.

Do I need to fight Vishnu and Shiva before I can fight Seth? Completely forgot Seth was a boss

Yes, both

Time to start grinding, I guess

Zio

Overall story
SMT IV 1st Half > DeSu 1/OC > SMT IV 2nd Half > DeSu 2 Septentrione Arc >= FINAL > Triangulum Arc

Character Development
DeSu OC > SMT IV >= DeSu 2 Septentrione > FINAL > Triangulum

Demons (story-wise)
DeSu OC >= FINAL > IV
DeSu 2 might be better or worse depending if you like aliens

Demons (gameplay wise)
FINAL > IV = RB > OC

Fusion
FINAL > IV > RB > OC

Gameplay
RB > OC
FINAL > IV
Depends if you like Press Turn or Extra Turn and Grid

Gameplay Length
RB >>> FINAL > OC >= IV

>DeSu OC
>Character Development
The characters end the game exactly as they started

Sarmati sumoning when?

How does FINAL rank with all the games?

...

I accept God and recognize his existence, but that doesn't diminish the hate I feel for it, so I go out of my way to punch God in the face

Use the Magatama that gives you bolt storm

>no extra boss in the neutral route

Lul

>having a religion
You guys should really consider doing the White Ending.

Does Avenge work on Wu Kong?
He's already immune to Physical so I don't know if it would ever even activate.
Like, How can you counter if you aren't even affected?

Forgot the pic

Counterattack skills don't work if you don't actually take damage, no.

Avenge kicks in against all Physical-type skills, whether they deal Phys damage or not, meaning that it can counter Surt and the late-game Almighty-based boss normals.

With that said, I still don't recommend replacing anything there with it except Brutal Slash

>tips fedora

I want Chaos Hero's coat.

>Not law hero's so you can start your own fight club

I understood that reference but I haven't seen the movie. Law Hero a shit anyway.

>wants to a school shooter coat

>either you tip your fedora or you have a religion
Both are gross.

Who doesn't?

Posting this OC for no reason.

Very epic, thank you.

>never forget

sorry forgot pic

>when they say that, characters in SMT IV is souless but never played a game of the main franchise before

>dying

Congrats, you got why it's on the pic.

MT2 because the pacing, story, and music were to perfection.

>implying most of those are not true

...

But they played Persona 4.

>liking SMTIV
Shit taste.

M-Muh OST

What are you currently playing, /smtg/? Post your progress.

>not being Neutral
You brought this upon yourself, user.

Traumatized, even the same amount as you.

This list really needs an update though.

It's too late now. You gon get your ass whooped.

I'm basically at the end of Nocturne, but I haven't met any of the Riders yet
Am I missing something?

Did you go to the third Kalpa?

But that place sucks!

Fine, manchild. Enjoy not meeting the horsemen.
