/smtg/ - 真・女神転生/Shin Megami Tensei General

I apologize if this has been asked, but I've been trying to figure out this damned dungeon for a few hours. Sadly, I'm still in the first brane. Does anyone have this translated? My moonrune studies didn't go past one semester and the only kanji I can read in that damn thing is power.

Which demon has the most health?

in apocalypse

Just use jisho, man. Most of the kanji don't matter too much though.

力 = St
技 = Dx
魔 = Ma
速 = Ag
運 = Lu

You can sort by any stat. Satan, for HP.

not that user but think i'll save that just in case i' try to play smt if psx.

Same, that was fucking great.

Doing 16k damage with one Hell Thrust almost made me cum

It'd probably be more useful to remember the order the stats are in desu. Although knowing the kanji removes any doubt.

Do only special fusion demons get exclusive skills or what?

Sometimes they have unique skills like Occult Flash from Masakado.

Is it okay to like smt4a and hate vanilla smt4?

When Asahi is in critical health even after having her awakened power, she's still stuck with using Dia on herself. Meanwhile Gaston gets power boosts to all of his attacks when he gets Gungnir. Okay.

Plot-wise, what is the best mainline SMT game?

yes i hate smt4 too

It's okay to have opinions.

Nocturne

Unless they're different than mine.
Because then I'm gonna kill you.

If you coul;d make a party to travel with with any 5 Megaten characters, who would (You) choose?
They don't have to start with combat knowledge either.

this is why i dont like smt:a

kant more like kunt

I was going to ask if it was possible, since I want to play SMTIV:A and hated SMTIV

If Dagda is able to take control over Nanashi's body and make him release Krishna even if the player chooses not to, shouldn't he also be able to prevent him from siding with Merkabah/Lucifer or going Bonds?

If Dagda can just bring Nanashi back to life at no cost, why can't he just give him infinite HP and cut out the middle man?

Dagda doesn't have full control of you at all times. He has to exert force to do that. What's more, his plan involves needing you to side with him explicitly. Early on he can ignore you disagreeing with him since he still has time to convince you, and in the immediate sense what he needs is to release krishna. At the point where you straight up make a final decision there's nothing he can do other than try to get revenge. When you side with lucifer he makes you into a demon. Dagda can't sap your life energy so he just leaves. And if you side with merkabah, he can try to kill you most likely, but by the time he would you're dead anyways.

Ok so I'm trying which game I should play first in this series and I have narrowed it down to either persona 3 or Nocturne. I'm leaning towards Nocturne because I know nothing about the game, while I know a shit ton about persona 3. Like I kind of know the ending and that certain a character backstabs you, and I already know what most of the characters are like. What do you guys think?

Also I'm not considering persona 4 because I already pretty much know literally everything about the game. The only game in the series that I have actually played is persona 4 arena. It's probably one of my favorite fighting games I have played.

You obviously dont play many fighters then.

You don't have to play any of them. Just play the one you want to, if any. Both P3 and Nocturne are good games.

>persona 3 or Nocturne
Just another bitch ass messiah, start with SMT I or Soul Hackers like a real man.

Persona 3 if you like high school life sims, trying to stop the apocalypse, socialising with friends, etc. Nocturne if you like more minimalist storytelling, a darker atmosphere, or interesting dungeons.

If you haven't played any MegaTen then Persona 3 -> Nocturne eases you into the battle system more since it's easier while still having a lot of similarities.

>interesting dungeons.
>nocturne

Something funny motherfucker?

Any Megaten game has interesting dungeons compared to Persona 3.

Boring, repetitive mazes are le true SMT XDDD

>Go for str with some mag build in IV
>First time really giving a shit and aiming to beat a SMT game
>Realize I have absolutely no fucking clue what I should do to git gud
>mfw get past medusa and just then realize after googling that I should be putting more into dex than str
I have NO idea what I should be doing but with a lot of grinding I think I mgiht make it

I know that, but the game itself it never happens, thus while it's something they wanted once it's not really applicable. Especially because Krishna never says otherwise even when Odin brought it up right in front of him, and he trusted Maitreya and Odin directly as his right hand men, who were both acting behind the scenes to see the Powers rise.

Also that's incorrect. Infernal was heavily associated with Buddhist and Hindu demons as the Chaos realm, which even an Apsaras mentioning the big names were planning on making Tokyo Bay into a Soma plantation.

Blasted had the heavy association with Aztec and Norse deities instead. Indeed out of the three Odin is the least cruel, sadistic, and all around lawful compared to Krishna's Salvation. He doesn't even get his godslayers consent to fuse like any being who fuses in IV/IVA did.

He even manifested in the past as a Buddhist incarnation of Shiva.

White Book did it way better. Ride a mafic kite to different islands on Wind Dem/Makai planet.

Disappointed they removed the portals and put some cheap ass bridges connecting each mini-planet.

i'm still early on but i'm enjoying the game i'm already at center town.
i didn't play the other devil children games yet so i don't know.
i think i should demon grind and feed gale

>when you lie on the bed and close your eyes, a gentle sleepyness consumes you.

Just restart, you've barely scratched the games surface. In any SMT game, you're gonna want to be minmaxing hard, so pick either DEX for physical or MAG for magical (no mixing, and ignore STR outright because it's broken in vanilla iv) and pump the fuck out of it along with Luck and Agility.

You don't have to optimize to beat IV, especially since he's beaten Medusa already

I've been putting most into luck, should I be putting much into agility too?

Post your favorite megaten battle theme

All of them desu

I can't choose one. Why are they all so fucking good.

How the fuck do I beat him? For some reason I always do a physical build so my MC is basically useless against him, think I will try a magic build in the next game I play. I've been using Io to try to damage him, got Arioch on her for Evil Wave and Take-Mikazuchi for Matchless. Got anti-most and null phys on her to negate damage. Every time I go to engage him he hits 2 megidos and she dies, I can't even get a hit off on him.

I think he's the hardest boss I've come up against in DeSu. Ookuninushi in the first game seemed like a breeze compared to this.
