Have you guys seen Pascal? I can't find him anywhere.

I fused him with a demon then he ran off into this terminal.

Would Mastema have been a bond or massacre representative in Apocalypse?

...

Hey anons, I've been digging through that huge ass fuck rar file that has all of the voices from SMTIV in the pastebin, and Im wondering if someone's done it already for Apocalypse. If not, Im willing to learn how and ripping all the voices for everybody.

Probably bonds.

Neither, he's law

People aren't immortal. Krishna tells you people die and reincarnate and the Axiom CANNOT be overturned. And all souls will be shared amongst all gods, most of whom are evil. What Krishna planned to do is make a temporary afterlife where everyone becomes one with him.

The White are human suffering in general. They didn't want a solution that didn't involve permanent non-existence.

And Jon and Walts mangas were planned, unlike IVA, so one revealed the Demonic Gene and the other revealed a Fallen turning into a proper angel and try to activate the Demonic Gene on God's Orders afterwards, which we see with a brief Demonic Hope. IVA did leave out a bunch of shit, but other shit was already there and it answered it horribly.

Oh and Spookyghost/Blackman Flynn being implied halves of White!Flynns soul split into Law/Chaos.

Mastema opposed the Archangels and their plans to build the Millennium Kingdom in IV. He was just holding Tokyo down long enough for a solution to come up. It's highly unlikely that he would support Merkbah's plan to destroy Tokyo, or even align with the Divine Powers since they're a threat.

Bondsfag according to those anons some months back who mentioned him, Minotaur, and Asmodeus/His Zoroastrian version being Akira's demon.

And since Apocalypse actually has random encounters be fucking more relevant/proper to where they are fought Mastema's a mass produced angel too as we see in the Egoverse.

I'm pretty sure that Inanna would be too attached to the people to let them be killed off and their souls equally shared with the other gods.

"Most" wasn't there for nothing.

Inanna will just get new kids to give birth too instead. It all works out. Kids dienafterall.

Would Mastema have been a better Bonds representative than Nozomi/Danu?

Most likely. He'd also be honest and actually get more demons to help, including ones that can keep Nanashi alive.

One of Tayam's thugs implied that he did almost all deals with demons when they learn Yuriko is one.

Not he also wouldn't pretend to have some moral high ground because I can see him and Dagda having pissing contests.

Mastema and Dagda having pissing contests sounds like a missed opportunity.
How would he have handled Toki being possessed by Inanna?

Probably lock her up till she learns to control it, because fuck Nozomi's "We're all besties cause we fought together" retarded mentality. Probably have Minako return instead of dropping her and have her absorb the Aether instead.

Anyone have a good screenshot of YHVH's final form from SMT4A?

nocturne is in first user

I'm just glad those are the only thing I had to buy that made a difference, at least until late game to fill out the compendium and make all those super fusions I wanted.

...

Minako would have already been turned to Ishtar by the time Apocalypse takes place. All absorbing the aether will do is make Ishtar transform into Inanna, making the whole thing a bit organic.

You realize its the same survey every time right? Guys just making sure we have everyone.

I'm purposefully not voting.

SMT x Fate

She only becomes Ishtar on Chaos user. She herself made a bet on becoming Ishtar by absorbing related demons.

The same can happen with Inanna, but that the chance of becoming a related demon made her Inanna instead.

>Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne would never take advantage of our innate gullibility
Gets me every time.

Im self replying here, but after a few hours, I've decrypted and decompressed the english SMTIVA rom and I now have all of the sfx/voice lines which is about ~6300 files. I'll be uploading it soon after I clean it up and convert to mp3 and stick it on to MEGA or something.

Can I get some help? I know I'm missing some skills, I only saw them in the lilith battle on some humans so I couldn't nab them will I find them in the skills dlc? Also is there a list of all the demons in ds2 rb, I'm at 96% compendium without the final two bonus bosses.

i let the demons out kojiro

Is ATLUS USA trying to sabotage itself? Maybe the higher ups are secretly working for Square Enix.
Otherwise I don't see the logic behind the ATLUS tax.

How's the SMT1 port for the iphone? Never played the original

I remember someone linking to an autist who made around 3 full blog posts complaining about how awful it was, but I can't recall which aspects he was criticizing.

>Otherwise I don't see the logic behind the ATLUS tax.
Have you even played one of their "localizations"?
It should be pretty obvious that they are a bunch of retards.

it's genuinely bad

not only is it based on the worst version of the game, but it somehow has less features than the super fucking buggy AGTP translation, it doesn't even let you input lower case letters for your name

WHY THE FUCK IS APOCALYPSE SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE

Why YHVH wanted people to be half demon again? People bitch about him being 'cartoonish evil' in FInal but how else would Atlus explain the convoluted mess that was the SMT IV plot

The demonic shit was basically a countermeasure against rebellion. Basically, if people started to realize that they were being exploited, they would get turned into demons.

It still fucking retarded couldn't he just brainwash people or something? Not only that but didn't the samurai supposedly lack the demonic gene for being descended from the hunters? yet Hope becomes a demon...

They could have ignored it like they did with Mastema.

Which then caused them to rebel harder, only now as vicious superpowered monsters capable of outfighting the constabulary.

Also,
>being given a demon free paradise
>exploited

Only 10% lack it. Most Samurai, not all, are descended from CDF members.

That was their brainwashing method. They become YHVHs thralls whether they're Fallen or not. Demonic Hugo became one with his Universe afterall.

So you mean they became MORE extreme and thus easier to control?

Mikado's not natural to a Millennium Kingdom in the first place, I'd just write any of it off as thanks to King Akira's interference, same as the entire social structure in general.

What's convoluted about SMTIV's plot anyway? The only issue I had with it was how the major Law/Chaos alignment choices didn't match up to the Law/Chaos you ended up with.

Mahou Shojo themed SMT when

Gabriel never sought to remake the kingdom until after Lilith defiled it as mentioned in the artbook.

13 Years. Mikado, its social structure, foundation, etc. had been set in place for 13 years. Then after seeing it as a rousing succees the Archangels then tried to destroy Tokyo, which lead Akira and Mastema to turn on them directly.

The only system set in place that could actually bring change to the kingdom is the Samurai as K notes if you talk to him through the game and he mentions only a Samurai could end Mikado.

Ironically despite being a CHAOS END, Mikado is left untouched and Tokyo is forever separated from Mikado in Demonic Gene due to the Sky Towers obliteration.

Would Mastema put Inanna in her place if she stepped out of line, or went all "I'm Mother of All" on him?

Throw Danu/Nozomi at her as a completely and totally willing sacrifice that was completely okay with being ripped to shreds by her raging element attacks and would definitely not curse Mastema.

Then she jooins us and at full power she probably gets Null where her resists use to be and likely no longer becomes weak to certain elements.

I imagine that would be one option. The other is too kill her and rob Danu of stealing more of Inanna's power (Dagda) and the shittiest option of Danu and Nozomi stealing it for muh fairies.

;_;

What's wrong, user?
Are you becoming attached to your demons or your friends or something?

>first playthrough of Nocturne
>completely ignoring magatama thinking their temporary stat buffs
>just finished Ikebukuro
>only realizing now that they were permanent and interchangable and gave you stat bonuses

How badly have I fucked up?

Not that badly, just go back and buy them from shops.

Are the bonus stat increases upon level up that I missed important though? I could've had the strength magatama as far back as Ginza and that was probably 10 levels ago (I'm 25 now) and that's 10 points I could've split between vit/agi.

Also does the game get plot heavy at any point? I'm enjoying the gameplay very much so far but feels as if the plot is unfolding very slowly (don't care much for plot in games just curious).

Wait, I think you're understanding magatamas wrong. You don't get any permanent strength from magatamas, just a temporary buff over your base stats. As for the plot I'm only about halfway through so I can't really say.

I thought the extra stat point you got from one upon level up was permanent?

That's just chance luck. If your magatama acts up you have a chance to get a random stat increase, but that happens with any magatama so you aren't missing anything by just having the default equipped. All you really missed was some skills.

The game will have some explanations later, but Nocturne never really gets plot heavy. Most of your time is spent punching demons in long dungeons.

thanks bro, time to collect audio files for posterior uses

And all the backstory plot was added in Amala in Maniax, the version we got.

This is really disgusting

I can't seem to find the comic of demifiend threatening the manikin at the arcade with google or on the booru, can someone repost it?

Also, is the magatama I get from doing the game actually worth the effort?

Merry Christmas, faggot.
Also IIRC, the magatama gives healing spells, but nulls light.

Hoy.

Dumb question but can magic proc crits in Final?

While Smirking. There may be a passive skill that enable magic crits without Smirk.

Oh well darn.
I was hoping to do a MA/LU run.
Guess I better but a few points into ST then

'Twas the morning before Christmas, when all through the general.
Not a demon was stirring, not even a shitposter;

Hoy.

>toki says she'll follow you anywhere
>doesn't follow you on the edgy path

...

I figured. I've kept some of Odin and Krishna's lines for personal reasons and a friend's, but I did find Toki's lewd lines from when she was posessed by Inanna and when she was plugging the jars so I guess people will enjoy that stuff.

Ill be uploading it by the end of today as I have to get Christmas stuff done, but there was some files that even when I had the proper plugins and rips, it ended up unreadable/corrupted, but im gonna guess its small sound effects.

>most of the manchildren on /smtg/ are getting dragged out of their beds to worship Dionysus today and tomorrow
Guess it's my duty to save this general in His name.

It not only jeopardise the kingdom safety but it makes even more people have strong burst of emotions and becoming demons themselves... pretty much any other method would be better the demonic gene shit it's so beyond retarded that YHVH being evil incarnate and using law and chaos to have fun is the best explaination they could come up with

Happy Devil Summoner Day.

Merry Christmas /smtg/!
I got the files all together, But here's all of the voice lines (I believe) from Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse. This does not include music, sound effects or DLC music or sounds.You can just get the soundtracks on their own and in better quality than a 3ds rom rip's.

Here it is: drive.google.com/open?id=0BwLSE_5XM2m1VXZ0LTV4UUdGb2c

I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

>obtain SMT IV:F for Christmas
>whats the game about user??
>all eyes on me

Whats the edgiest thing I can say /smtg/?

it's about sucking dick

I do like Odins redesign in 4A.

>"Killing god."

Like, now.

You murder god as a crossdressing faggot by forcing your fat green cock down his throat until he dies.

>heh. you dont even wanna know
>teleports behind grandma

accurate
SMT x Utena when, fuck sailor shit

ONE MORE GOD ACCEPTED

This OP is not Christmasy enough.

You have failed the general, you bitch ass messiah.

This game will allow me to awake to the futility of friendship and relying on others. And it will let me get rid of ---- once and for all.

...

Let me show you...
youtu.be/WiUZ-Taprow?t=1m10s

So like, I'm upgrading my internet from 1mb/s to 100mb/s and will be able to actually stream now. Anyone interested in a MegaTen stream all night/morning? I have all the animations, and I'm pretty close to beating SMTII.

Sure I'd watch.

What's with all the black upper lips?

It's a jojo reference.

It's a game in which you punch Yahweh in his fat stupid face.
