IT HURTS

Remember to follow the rules.

>we'll never get a detective game featuring Katsuya, Kurosawa, Dojima, Sae, and Adachi
>we'll never get another MegaTen with 30+ year old party members

>>we'll never get another MegaTen with 30+ year old party members

I hate it so much. So much. I am so sick of 'teenager saves the world with other teenagers'. Also sick of

>character art looks about 28
>lol no 17

Fuck you, JRPGs.

How old are the characters from Strange Journey?

20 something

Not sure if we ever got a firm number, but they're all highly trained professionals so I'd say end-20s early 30s at the least. Gore must be 40+. The rest of the crew varies in age a lot, going by the sprites and their ranks, that's a nice variety.

Yeah some of the crew have kids.

how do i not get my shit kicked in by wendigo in DS

git gud

Grind some more and fuse demons that are strong to his attacks.

You can't. You are fated to die on that day, remember?

Get some Ice resist demons from the auction and bring lots of Agi.

Fusion isn't unlocked at that point, user.

Ah, sorry. Then is right.

are we still mad about this?

youtube.com/watch?v=TipJaOXW1nc

Well, I am.

I wish there was a loli ouji sama route.

Yeah. I'll buy it anyway since it's probably the last SMT we'll get on the 3DS not counting PQ2.

I wish I could already start this game already, I still have Naoya's 8th day left in DeSu

I hope SMTV will be multiplatform.

Why are they waiting for so long to announce the platforms anyways

>that OP
the state of this general

we are anime now

I thought it was going to be a Switch exclusive?

SMT 2 Item quantity swap
* Fill up your inventory with items like Ointments (All slots must be filled to the point you cannot buy anymore, be sure to have items you want to duplicate: Like Bronze box for example)
* Save the game and reset
* As soon as you load, select ITEM->Reorder, head to the bottom of the item list after choosing reorder, you will see 2 attack knife weapons, go below that, first select the item that has only 9 in quantity and then select the other than has 1 in quantity (9 Ointments->1 Power Incense = 9 Power Incense).

You must not choose any other option than Reorder. This can be done multiple times to max out the quantities of many items as once. Save and Reload if you want to copy more items

It must be the 2nd list only (After the 1st 2 attack knives side by side. It keeps going on to about 4 or so), put the items you want to duplicate at the top of the list and the quantity of how much you want to copy below it.

It is possible to turn items into other ones completely, or even increase the numbers of the items duplicated to Hexadecimal for easier cash if done differently. Do note that you shouldn't go all out with the incenses as you can lock out your game if you do not have enough slots to level up with.

Does help if you want to get a 2nd Hinokagutsuchi or Jipanium gear set.

>Look up Red Rider and what he does

>Pic related and still didn't get him
I feel burned out for wasting my time. Have the RNG gods forsaken me?

nibba I fought 2 fiends and they each only took me a day (fuck fighting them all tho, who has the time?)
git luk

God I hope not. I have a tv from 1990.

I'm going to buy if for the lulz. Original DS version will always be superior, but thus looks fun enough. At least I can enjoy the super shitty art.

P4 or Golden? I think the requirements differ depending on the version.

why is he bald and why is there writing on his head?

use stronger/weaker demon that doesn't have required skill

Reanimated corpse using both technology and rituals. Yuji (Law Hero) dies at the hands of Nebiros but is brought back to life.

He was the first candidate for the SMT2 Messiah project.

How tall is Inanna? I always she was above everyone's eye level, including Krishna

I hope not.

She is a big girl.

...

youtube.com/watch?v=L9abSKWg1ZE

So what do you think about Alex's theme and what route do you expect she will be as?

So who composed this?

I like the theme, but that's because it is so damn derivative of the original ost. It's pointless, just like Alex is. I'm guessing she'll be a variation of neutral route.

she will be the neutral dark or massacre router to gore's light or bonds route

Where do I find Inanna in that game?

user, that's so lame it physically hurts me.

So it'll probably happen.

Any Japanese speakers played this yet? Is it any good as far as an SMT clone goes?

She will become your goddess waifu in the game's massacre route.

I'll kill her the first chance I get.

She probably won't be as bad a female Yamato though.

Kasumigaseki region, construction site.

Un alpha...

Un elephante...

Un DANTE FROM THE DEVIL MAY CRY SERIES

...et Raidou...

Un ange digne de confiance

>IV:A trailer has more animation then the entire game
nani?

Does she show up again later?

Welcome to Atlus games, enjoy your stay.

I love their jankness desu, it's charming

All of the budget for animation went into adaptations for Persona games. It never occur to no one in Atlus that IV:A would sell more copies if they bothered to make a OVA, 24 episode anime based off the game.

Me too. I kinda respect that they are still surviving in a world where other JRPGs are producing whole movie segments. You don't need much flashy stuff if you have a good game.

Hell, the early Etrian Odyssey games had even less animation.

Only once.

Outside of Final's cutscenes I've never felt any Atlus game was that janky to be honest. All the PS2 Megaten games are still beautiful.

I dunno, did that work for DeSu2? I remember people hating that.

They aren't that bad in that regard, but ps2 era aside there's always some very visible shortcuts and limitations that make it more special

I just defeated Babel on Naoya's 8th day, can I keep this nice cloak it had on the ending?

It didn't work because the anime made DeSu2 dark and gloomy, and Break Record was delayed for years.

>Then what about humans themselves?
>Pretty indifferent to them. My parents owned a sushi store, so I was able to see a lot of customers coming and going – monks, yakuza, teachers. When I was in primary school, I saw my teacher doing lewd things to a young girl. I saw the strength of the yakuza. I guess I grew pretty indifferent after seeing all that. There’s also this service industry. Here’s a strange story: even if I take my subordinates out for fun, I have this habit of making great efforts to make them feel good. It’s like all my efforts come to naught. In the end I return to my old self, but wishing deep inside for sincerity makes me feel lonely. Perhaps that’s why I’m so cold towards people, since I have no expectations.
Kaneko is too pure for this world
>dijehtranslations.wordpress.com/2016/10/31/the-other-face-of-the-demon-artist-kaneko-kazuma/

I want to hug him and tell him it will be okay.

>his last game as a character designer flopped
>only oldfag left in the company
How do we save him?

>>his last game as a character designer flopped

Was that SJ?

Guy who requested it last thread, thanks.
I would probably just cry if of all SMT games fucking SMTIV:A got an adaptation. I love the game but the story and cast are just shit.
Yeah SJ was his last work as a artist on a SMT. He actually made the initial concept for SMTIV as Mikado and the samurai were his idea.

Yes, it flopped because Nips didn't like hard sci-fi and the fact that SJ didn't take place in Tokyo. Why do you think Loli Demeter, Tit-cow Anahita exists while Zelenin was drawn to look more qt in DSJ? It's to pander to casuals who didn't buy the original game.

Anahita has smaller tits than Asherah though

>make one of the greatest games ever
>instant flop because normies

This stuff makes me want to go full Chaos and massacre everyone.

Just kidding, I just feel crippling depression.

It's fine user the re-release will sell 30 more copies.

I know this feel, make sure when you fight him if you are not ready you have a lot of macca, at least enough to get revived by Charon. If you die and don't get revived you have to literally spend all that time finding him again. If you get revived you can then save the game and go fight him whenever you want. I just got done with matador, I don't know for certain if you can leave the area and then go fight him though.

He's a dumb lawposter.

Normies don't care that YHVH turned his wife into a gigantic tit-cow.

rate my matador
why no one told me about smt this games are so fun and frustrating

God I hope the stats in V go only into the 30/40s instead of IV's 999 crap. I already have Disgaea for number porn, the less the better.

Nice. Are his stats naturally high or did you incense the shit out of him

mitamas up his ass

youtube.com/watch?v=KWX0EHUdBrU

I want Hibiki's phone and Makoto's headphones.

>My parents owned a sushi store

Right, I forgot about Mitamas, been playing IV too much. If it's your first SMT game then enjoy your stay, you cannot escape your hunger

i fucking love mitamas and something tells me their use is a little important to no get my ass killed

Eh, you can get through the game without Mitamas basically, but it's incredibly fun to build your own super demons with them

In SJ I have all the forma needed for Solomon Ring, except the fucking option to buy it.
I looked up the chart and there are three rings missing:
God Ring
Gaia Ring
Solomon Ring
Do I need to unlock them through an Ex-Misson or what's up?

page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f230880721

How do I buy this. How do I get it shipped to the US. How do I convert money. I just want nice things.

found on gamefaqs

Yeah, you have to make them.
Solomon Ring:
AC Horolite X x3 (Forma Search C in Horologium)
Vile Prehnite x4 (Samael drop)
Vile Bone x 3 (Seth drop)

God Ring:
AC Horolite X x3
Eerie Cornet x 2 (Trumpeter drop)
Kishin Hammer x 4 (Thor drop)

Gaia Ring:
AC Horolite X x3
Reaper Tablet x 4 (Mot drop)
Enigma Tusk x 4 (Kangiten drop)

The ring is NG+ only.

Well shit I found out it's only NG+
This is what for looking up equipment online.

forgot the last part somehow, its NG+ only

I want to protec him

The literal only reason atlas said SJ wasn't called SMTIV was that it didn't take place in Tokyo. It is still mainline even if they deny it. Hell, the demonica has a pretty big appearance in IV and IV:A.

Forma carries over, right? At least I will be OP during my second playthrough.

What does /smtg/ think about the Digital Devil Saga duology?

Personally, it is my favorite PS2 megaten.
I struggled to get into it at first, but I liked it quite a bit as it went on.
Hard mode for DDS2 is also super fun, I'll have to replay DDS1 one of these days.

I'm ashamed to say I still need to play it.

>Forma carries over, right? At least I will be OP during my second playthrough.
Yeah, only thing that does not is
>sources
>levels
>key items
>Subapps
>ccurrent summoned stock
Hnnngg

I really don't care about them, pretty boring for the most part.

DDS1 is one of my favorite games. I still need to beat DDS2, since I got to the sun and stop playing and haven't gotten the drive to pick it up.

>Tit-cow Anahita exists
>he says where we get Maya, Tiamat and Ashera
If anything the DFC of Demeter should be ringing alarm bells motherfucker, Modern Men are a fucked group.

Please do not eat Sera!

is it even out?
