How will the Switch game take advantage of HD Rumble

A few years ago, there was this site for SH and SMTIV that allowed you to enter demons into a table and you'd get every info on spells and stats, but it died a while ago. Is there anything else like that out there?

SMT 1 soon.

WORLD OF STR

If they start locking down cities I'm dying my hair blue and moving there

wow, i just started playing SMT IV as my first (not counting tokyo mirage sessions[/spoiler[) entry into the series. it is really fucking good, and from what i understand, it only gets better.

i'm playing SMT4A next, then what? Soul Hackers or the Devil Survivors?

fuck my dyslexic ass

devil survivor 1 is my favorite SMT game
There's just something about the atmosphere and characters that blend together so well

i heard that DS2 is not really a direct sequel, at least not in the way that apocalypse/final is. if DS1 is your favorite, then what is DS2?

Well yeah you could play DS2 first, it doesn't really matter. I'm actually playing through DS2 right now for the first time. Every battle feels a lot more difficult than the first one but that might just be me. Dialogue can also get a lot more silly since the protag seems autistic
On the other hand this one feels like it has a lot less tension. DS1 would be more Biblical demons while DS2 would be more alien demons. So whichever one sounds more attractive to you.

Not him, but DS2 is completely unrelated story wise

It's also way more lighthearted than DS1.

SMT x ARMS when?

Actual SMT x Fire Emblem when?

I already know it's fucking never

>start playing SMT Final again after a long time
>don't remember where to go, what I was doing and what I wanted to do with my demons

ye olde problem of starting on an old save
the worst part is when you start a new save and then when you get caught back up to the same part, you check the older save and realize you were better at this game in the past

Desu

Fucking Atlus. What could possibly possess them to make SMT x Fire Emblem a game about idols?

The Yakuza

It's literally Not!SMT

It's TMSxFE for fuck's sake

Read you messages. They constantly send you what you just did

did the eternal punishment translation for psp ever get finished?

nope, you'll have to play 7th dragon 2020 instead

iwakuraproductions.wordpress.com/2017/02/08/a-status-update-or-in-the-name-of-all-thats-holy-i-swear-nothing-is-cancelled/

f-fug
thanks dude, that gives me some time to play through all of the smt games Im stocking up on

>up to day 3 in devil survivor
>all game overs have been due to escort kills
What's up with that?

You are a bad bodyguard

Kek, I had the same problem. That fight where Keisuke summons Yama for the first time was hell.

Holy Dance + Drain made the following days so much easier.

This is your average real shun megamay tenssay player.

what does his wife's son think?

He's only wrong about persona deletion though.

>Shitty as fuck about LGBT issues
? I mean, i don't care about that sort of shit but what is he talking about?

>You can't dismiss personas in this game
But you can?
>bwaaah I had to fuse Arsène
Your fault for not recruiting a bunch of Personas that you could've easily gotten back once you're back in the dungeon. Why are people so bad at video games?

should be called persxna

No gay romance option in CURRENT YEAR

...

>being literally this mad about a video game in the year 2017

Good, not everything should have to appeal to every audience, sometimes it's fine to make something aiming for specifc groups of people

But I want to fuck Goro.

>Holy Dance + Drain made the following days so much easier.
why is the OP build so fitting for magic based MC
it feels so stylish and cool to do almighty damage like that and never run out of mana or health because you steal it

So how do the powerlevels for demons actually work? Nyx is summonable as a normal demon in Nocturne and others but is made to be a literally invincble cosmic abomination in Persona 3, to the point they say humans created all the other gods and demons as a psychicical and psychological defense against her.


Same for Izanami in P4. She's powerful in other games but not on the world-destroying levels she was on that one.

It is abiding to the rules.

Nocturne so you can catch up to all the memes.
But DeSu is also a good idea, I would also recommend you Strange Journey, but you might as well wait for its rerelease.

should I play through smt4 before apocalypse or does it matter?

Is there more than one fusion tutorial?

By the point I reached the tutorial I had like 4 Personas already, and I fused a Pixie and Pyro Jack.

Apocalypse is very generous with the amount of information it gives you about the previous game, but it is obviously underwhelming in terms of how the game presents it to you.

In the end it doesn't really matter, but IV is a decent game, and you might as well play it first.

>/pg/ is finnaly starting to see that P4 is fucking trash

wew

Thoughts on P5 lads? Great game imo. Seeing demons in HD is noice

>powerlevels
>megaten

I think Fateshit will better suit your tastes.

I got it a few days ago and the game fucking took like 5 hours to get started.
And all the memes I read about Morgana limiting your time are making me hesitant.

But I'm still too early in the game to judge, so I hope it picks up.

It will pick up for the second palace, but then it'll be another 6 fucking hours of visual novel. Not even kidding. Pacing in this game is broken beyond P4-levels of bad.

In the world of Persona humanity places a ton of power in them, as they stand for abstract concepts like death or desire, because God fucked off from that world, or at least is very lenient compared to SMT YHVH.
And in SMT they only adhere to how many people believe and worship them as a mythological figure.

To be fair, the writting is good.

>'lets give a lesson 2 da shitty adults XD!! Wassup' Pewsona!!'

They did good with explaining capeshit and palaces, but lets be real - it's still the same personish plot as always.

But it's good, has great characters, atmosphere, music and visuals. Not everything has to be an edgefest like Nocturne. There, I said it, go freikugel on me.

It's mediocre, characters are bland (especially villains, they're straight up cartoonish), atmosphere is the same, music is trash and visuals are annoying.

>music is trash and visuals are annoying
This is just wrong.

>worshipping latex capeshit for teenagers
>calls other games edgy

Okay /v/tard explain to us whats so edgy about Nocturne exactly?

>Wassup' Pewsona!!'
thats the shitty translation team lets be fair

>, atmosphere is the same, music is trash and visuals are annoying.
Wrong the atmosphere is no where near the same as P4 or P3 the music is great and the visual style is amazing what are you on about?

>characters are bland
I mean its all opnion but they go through their own troubles and become better people becuse of it. Its proberbly one of the best cast in SMT since P2.

>(especially villains, they're straight up cartoonish)

Rapists, politicians and gang leaders are actual real things in real life. I dont see them in my kid cartoons. And Goro is one of the better villains as SMT on a whole.

Stop arguing with /pg/ shitposters.

I disagree about the music and visuals, but yeah the villains were pretty silly. To be fair, part of the plot was that their vices were dragging their personalities into complete extremes. On the other hand it did feel a lot like a Saturday Morning TV show when most of the bad guys would just give up after being beaten.

What would you have them do then? Its not really "them" but their "subconscious" or whatever.

I just dont see what they can do after losing and having their "heart" stolen.

That being said, guns and demons coming back is a good sign for the rest of the megatan franchise. Cant wait for SMT V or whatever it is on the switch.

>That being said, guns and demons coming back is a good sign for the rest of the megatan franchise

Can't wait to beat a bunch of lawfags with my toy gun and fellow shadows!!

the function of the gun is back which is what matters. Yes it would have been cooler if they were legit guns and legit demons but whatever. Relax you sperg

They actually give a decent explanation to shadows (demons from the Expanse, a dimension of pure psychic potential, twisted into a shape the palace's owner wants). Also they toy guns oddly make sense in the real world considering the characters have no powers there, in the metaverse where they can jump around and play anime their guns are lethal like Goro found out.

At least it makes more sense than in P4 where kids are implied to be carrying around swords and armor and shit in convenience stores. It's not that weird for a bunch of rebellious stupid kids to be carrying around toy guns,

Is "FUCK YOU" his canonical name?

No.

Yes.

it's ATLUS USA

Probably.

If there's ever a re-re-issie of Nocturne I'd love if if they featured Donte instead of Raidou.

I started the first Raidou game not long ago and I just got to level 12. I have 15 St and 5 Vi. Is it safe to keep pumping points into St or should I get my Vi up first?

The anime is shit and the game is shit but I gotta admit. it was pretty funny

youtube.com/watch?v=TImiQBxhz6Y

youtube.com/watch?v=SWe8fKZyiV4

Looks pretty cool.

It's Demi "Demifiend" Fiend or Hito "Hitoshura" Shura

It looks good but mostly the same. Gore and Jimenez look so bad though, holy shit.

>they didn't save Alex to use as the MC of SMTV
Why Atlus, what a waste

>Peeeeepeeeee posters are this dumb

Thought it went "Hito-Shura"?

>female
>MC

Let's not.

an option would be nice

>Female MC
>mainline series

I want to play as a cute Matador

>Matador
>not Trumpeter
Also Fiends SMT spin-off game when?

If

>Matador
>not 'MATADORI'

Wait, they use toy guns? Bwahahahaha!
'B-but w-wee wuz mainline and shit!!' my ass.
Fucking pathetic.

>MATADORI
>not MAJURO

alright, thanks my dude

Can someone explain the PERSONA HAS WON meme

Because it has?
Nobody at Atlus cares about SMT anymore, its a pill you have to swallow.
They don't know what to do with it.
Atleast with Persona they don't have to work hard anymore. P4 was when Atlus died.

I don't understand. Weren't they already doing this with P4? What makes P5 special?

Post SMT characters that could have been great godslayers
