Only one more to go.

The Medusa Boss fight in Final is pretty easy compared to the one in IV. She doesn't rape your party with Snake Fangs or lightning magic.

Abe's Succubus and Lilim both lust after Hallelujah's D.

SMT is for casuals.

That's because she's not a gatekeeper like Minotaur was. She's a boss at a point in the game where you've got good demons, good skills and know how shit works.

I've seen people bitching about King Frost and that one deity on a boat where you open the ark but both of them were easy as fuck.

Pascal the dog is here.

>People bitching about first person combat because "I wanna see my demons"
Does this feel like petty bullshit to anyone else? Sure it's cool the first time you do a big attack, but by the 500th time you won't give a fuck.

I prefer the combat in IV/A the way it is because it keeps battles fast.

Did I travel back in time? It feels like people would have made this post for IV.

SMT4 combat is shittily designed but certainly not for THAT reason.

It came up when IV came out, and now with Apocalypse it's coming up again.

Maybe they could have made that another DLC.

That's why the way to go is being a true MT fan.

You mean DeSu

First and third person combat in RPGs are both equally fine.

Desu

Is DemiKids worth playing?

I tried playing 10 minutes and dialogues are just dumb.

PERO QUE COSA MAS TREMENDA, CABALLERO

Anyone else doing a meme build run? Sniper Nanashi is actually fine the high MP consumption is annoying tho

pure luck

I miss Burroughs.

I don't.

Fucking why? She murders the end game tone. Starts out waifu as fuck, though. Too bad she can't into feelings and atmosphere.

AI is autistic.

what? there is no burroughs i apocalypse?

FUCKING CANCELLED

How's ~FULL MAGIC~ for Final cuntboy?

The Little Girl appears, but no Burroughs.

Post SMT final builds
>str/dex/lu
>mag/agi

It's bullshit and I will never understand how this series of all things attracted grafixfags.

>end game tone
What end game tone? There's no tone there to begin with.

Burroughs and "Let's hope we both see each other ALIVE again" are the only things I'm going to miss from the shitfest that was SMT4.

Gibberish/FULL MAG/Gibberish

2 dex 1 agi 2 luk

Nobody who came here played the first two smts.

You're also going to miss the Minotaur, Yuriko/Lilith, and Tayama. New guy who runs the Asura Kai thinks he's hot shot.

Should be 2 agi 1 luck shitter.

Muh crits.

>missing those fags
Nope. Lilith has no characterization to speak of and Tayama just reminds me of the awful red pill plot.

Tell that to Yurikofags in the Ring of Gaea who are still loyal to her while the others moved on to become Maitreyafags and get hooked on Bhudda weed.

3luck/1str/1ag

Is there any reason not to report the dead bodies you find?

If you don't report the dead bodies, then you don't get AP points.

That's what I'm saying.
If there's never a reason to not report the bodies then why even give you the option?

>"Let's hope we both see each other ALIVE again
I'm fairly bartenders other than in Kinshicho say this. The thing I miss is "Make sure you bring more MACCA next time"

Not reporting is edgy as fuck bro.

As someone who wants an rpg that isn't pokémon on my 3DS and never hearing of this series before except persona 4, will I enjoy this?

Does anyone know how to tell your alignment in smt4a yet?

USA Apocalypse CIA (not region free but should install fine on most CFW anyway): mega.nz/#!ro4miKDS!O4Xp3Fo4gdNQkG5yPjrGakenKOqQ16jv42giYX4Yy5c

No, now fuck off back to /pg/.

Apocalypse? Maybe. The problem is it's sort of a sequel to the original SMT IV.

hmmm idk what build I want to do but my stats right now with equips are

level 31

where do I go from here?

The most common (and only partially true) comparison is that it's like "pokemon for adults". For me at least, it fills the same hole that Pokemon did, only it doesn't talk down to me, and it's much cooler seeing monsters based on various mythologies than on sandcastles.

Pirate it. It's worth a shot. Decent fun mindless RPG. EO is better, but it's a lot harder and requires some thought in builds.

There's no alignment in SMT4a. You are a neutral drone who must choose between siding with Danu in preserving the universe, or Dagda in destroying the current one and building a new one.

Made me laugh really hard

I-it was just an example
I'm talking about SMT4
pirating is hard, and its only 20 bucks on the estore in europe atm

So it's a choice like the white ending in 4 and not based on your decisions?

Sure, give SMT IV a go. Just be aware it's ridiculously hard at first, so save every few battles for the first hour or so. The difficulty lightens up quickly.

Go for it. As a major pokémon fan, if you enjoy rpg's and edgy japanese shit mixed with mythology you'll like it.

aight noice thanks bbys

Tayama's VA was GOAT

I wouldn't say SMT4 is hard. That implies you can get good at it. There is stuff you can screw up and stuff you can get better at, but it is more incredibly swingy. Crits, misses, smirk massive damage bonuses. Almost any enemy set can kill you in one hit and most bosses don't last 3 or 4 turns. Everything dies fast.

Oh, and Strength is shit for the main character in SMT IV. If you want a physical build, go Dexterity/Luck/Agility and ignore Strength.

Magic is also good if you want to be a mage.

Neutral drone Nanashi can't make any choices. You can't even side with Krishna and the Divine Powers if you wanted. The plot makes sure that you are a good neutral drone.

Ok, honest question, how many of you chose "Walk away" whenever Asahi is feeling down.

>Fight the bigass snake
>Do fucking no damage, focus on buffing and healing myself
>He heals himself for 6000 and runs away
>9000 exp for doing fucking nothing
Well okay I guess.

>hold off on fighting it because I'm just a lil bit more than a level away from king frost
>fuse it
>disappointment ensues

Man, I wanna kick it's ass.

>side with Lucifer
>GAME OVER
>exit game

My work is done.

Does /smtg/ agree?
Apocalypse compared to IV:
+Slightly better world map
+Affinities
+Fiend hunting changes
+Smirk rework
+Harder modes available from the start
+Demon designs
+/-Partner system (change to be less random is good but they did other shit and made partners overpowered)
+/-Dungeons (YHVH's is actually big but it's designed in an uninteresting way, not a lot of the dungeons are actually all that impressive)
-Voice acting
-Writing (plot, characters, lack of subtlety, choice contradiction, etc)
-Choice matters less

Anything else to add?

Voice acting is a + if you're undub or only listen to Dagda in English.

>only listen to Dagda in English
So it's a -, and Asahi's JP VA isn't good desu.

The writing and choices were awful in 4 though.

I didn't say anything about IV being good though.

Are the harder modes good though? SMT4's hard difficulty was retarded.

Really, I'm looking forward just because I want to see what 4 looks like with less weak mechanics.

- too much shit is locked behind App Points, of which there's too fucking few

-OST

Not trying to shitpost but do SMT games ever get less "dry".

I tried IV and im trying Apocalypse now but i never get really far because the setup is always 2 hours of portraits talking to you and then when you finally get into the game you navigate menus to switch between hubs and talk to more portraits.

These games don't feel as meaty as Nocturne or a dragons quest, something like that.

SMT isn't really about plot or presentation. They are some of Atlus's weakest work in both those regards.

Buy the DLC, goyim.

I dont have a problem with writing but otherwise yes.

You're supposed to buy the DLC to fix that. Just $2.50!

is there a way to get USA dlc onto a japanese 3ds

or japanese dlc to work with a USA copy

Did Krishna ever do anything to deserve a choice? At least Dagda revives you.

>There are people posting RIGHT NOW that think Dagda's English voice isn't godlike

Explain yourself

Sun Moon are supposed be improving on that mow.

He's not wrong from the porn I've seen

his voice is good. I also think asahis english voice is cute

I think i just have to accept these games arent for me even though i always love the concept and the visual design.

I just cant sit down and watch static images talking at me for ages. It's like a visual novel.

Oh well.

He's good, but Navarre's and Nozomi's VAs are worse and bring the whole thing down. Flynn also should have never been allowed to say anything beyond "Burroughs" and a few grunts.

How is he supposed to be the Messiah if he's an autist that can't talk?

I'd play a SMT VN where demons murder you all the time and there are multiple ends but no girl wants your dick.

How am I supposed to keep pretending he was my self-insert if he's not autistic?

It's called real life. You're already playing, you just haven't reached your own Bad End yet.

This is real, right?

Don't download it it's the demon summoning program

...

DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS IT'S MUSTARD GAS

Do I really need to look this stupid to get some stats? Urgh, I want my sailor costume back.

Also where is my waifu hallelujah I'm already at Ginza I need him to make this game worth it

I don't know that SMT's for adults. More for teenagers, but you get the idea.

Neutral Drone Nanashi was the one who revived Krishna in the first place, even when Sukuna Hikona warns him of what might happen. Plus, Krishna is less of a villain and more of a pawn in Dagda's plans.

saw some nigga saying that the demon on the boat was easy. Hell no. I'm playing that shit on war and now I've got to distribute some zio skills to kill that fucker. First shot and It took him a little while to get me down but that shit got me angry regardless of that fact.

Just don't use it dumbass keep leveling up normally
