Isn't Kudlak good enough?

Hey, you. Yes, you!

What megaten game are you playing?

Kudlak is cool and all, but how can you not have mother fucking Dracula.

>you will never get to fight Dracula while having a Kresnik summoned in your party
Why live?

Digital Devil Saga 2,

Just stuck at fighting this monster, But I was close on killing him on my last attempt

...

Anyone have cool fanart that has demons only? I've been wanting more demon art as I feel I have too much art focused on humans and not enough demons.

You guys ever suddenly just "get" something and start to like it a lot, in this case demons? I don't know why but this week I took an interest in Siegfried and I really like him now. Before I felt nothing for him, design seemed basic and he was a famed that was in only a few games, but after reading more into his lore and background I really like him now. I hope he's in SMTV.

Alright, it's time to post Demon Only fanart.

Thanks user.

Don't know if you saw it already, but this folder contains two subfolders with demon-only art:

drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6eaH-yZwLHaeTZpQ0xiN2Yyc0U

I've always had a thing for Fiends.

Apocalypse.

On the Cosmic Egg third stage.

Did i overlevel too much?

Im level 90 and i swear i didnt grind but i equipped the intellect ring, did that ring really gives that much experience?

Damn, thanks user, great stuff in those folders.
Who doesn't? Fiends are fucking great, I have a whole folder just for them myself actually but it's pretty dad at not even 50 pics.

Finally done with KMT2, the journey was really frustrating at times, but I can't say I wasn't excited for the last boss fights. Satan's sprite looked really cool. I hate how the late game items costed a goddamn fortune, just price this shit properly, instead of making me grind.

I might have to play some goddamn Pokemon as a palate cleanser before I go into SMT1 and 2.

You're pretty much expected to be level 90+ for the final dungeon anyway so it doesn't matter. In fact, the closer you are to 99 by the time you reach the final boss, the better.

Female demons are a thing and they get lots of fanart.

Im much more of a fan with the protag chilling out with demons.

Oh boy, get ready for ailment bullet and zio spam if you're moving on to SMTI and SMTII. SMTII is actually worse then SMTI as the gameplay is barely improved and the game has a lot of backtracking making it a true chore to play honestly.

It's really a shame as both have great concepts and overall narratives that hold up really well today but they're just not too fun to actually play.

>You guys ever suddenly just "get" something and start to like it a lot, in this case demons?

I really like Dionysus for some reason. Never used him much, but I still have some weird attachment to him. Sadly couldn't find any notable artwork of him, so have this Arahabaki and Momunofu.

>Im much more of a fan with the protag chilling out with demons.
So you mean pics like this? I always a fan of a good pic of just some dudes and some demons just hanging out and having a good time

Congrats. SMT 1 especially will feel more archaic in some ways since it came out three years before KMT.

That's how I felt about KMT too, the music, atmosphere and the whole concept with demons is all good shit, but the game really tests my patience at times.

>will feel more archaic in some ways
Jeez. Any idea why they didn't remake KMT/SMT1&2 to something closer to today's standards? They seem to like upgrading games, like the NDS titles into 3DS ones, why not remake one of the really old ones? Is it just because there's less work and people will eat it up anyways?

Basically.

Or them doing stuff with other humans.

>that quality
user, take this.

sometimes i think a remake of MT1 and 2 would make a really good handheld game but atlus probably lost the rights to those

as to why atlus hasn't ported the PS1 remakes of SMT1 and 2 to modern platforms, i'll never know

They already did that for them, on PS1, but those versions were never translated, thank Atlus USA's jewery as usual.

Does Yomi-Kugutsu have art?...

Have another one then!
Thank you kindly, son of man!

Technically they sort of gave us modern versions in the ios version of SMTI since that was based on the gba version. I think that they just don't have faith in them selling well. Someone once asked if Atlus USA would bring over SMTII and they just said it's "not a priority".
Sadly no, some demons from Raidou have no official art unfortunately. I really wish Oboroguruma had art, such a cool demon.

At least they're in the background of some art. I just wish someone could draw one in it's own full on glory.

i fucking hate the GBA version man

modern phones could easily handle the 3D dungeons of the PS1 games

Getting around to starting Horologium in DSJ in a few hours. Is the point where you get locked into a route obvious?

...

Yes, very obvious. If you are doing law or chaos then prepare for a tough boss battle around the start of the area.

In Soul Hackers, is there any benefit to turning demons with max loyalty into items?
My Jack Frost requested I take him to Goumaden and now he wants me to turn him into a pair of Candy Boots.
What does it mean that children will always talk while I have the boots?

Pretty sure I saw some hentai like this once or twice.

What do you think of adding a Cooldown/Limited use per battle mechanic to certain moves in SMT?

Gun

I unequiped the ring because im plenty overleveled, i dont plan to use the level cap DLC until i finish the game legit first.

What demon/monster/deity/etc do you want to see introduced in the next game?

If anyone has something they'd like added to the pastebins, reply.

About half way through SMT IV on hardmode, only thing i brought over on this cycle was my compedium. Pretty surprised how far i've made it through just scrounging weapons and armour from quests and what i find, because there's no way in hell i can save money to buy anything.

Did you guys pick up Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology?

mega.nz/#!VxE2BA6Q!eVuarmxOrR_pFtGKOC-CJqjUcLEtmzOACQ6ks2TzhpE

End game save file for SMTI, on neutral route.

I pirated it.

Spring Heeled Jack as a missing Jack Bro.

What's the point of this? That's something you can just put up on GameFAQs

Thinking of doing a NG+ run of apocalypse since I haven't been able to find a copy of DDS1. I'be been to three retro games stores and nothing. I might just do a anarcanarchyusing some of my favorite demons.
It may sound weird but my most wanted demon is the Flatwoods Monster. I'm American and cryptids are basically the coolest "mythology" we have. It's a cool monster and cryptids are quite common already with things like Mothman, the Jersey Devil, and Wendigo.

Other figures I want to see are Gilgamesh, Tessie, Nut, Fujin and Rajin, and a Kappa.

Any advice for fusing famed demons in IV:A? All I know is using a dead foul (mad gasser seems best since it's the highest level foul I believe) and to have a slime in my stock as then I can't have one be the error result.

Probably going to get a lot of scorn for this, but why exactly did Tokyo Mirage Sessions fail? A crossover between two popular series seemed difficult to mess up, but they somehow did it.

It failed because of the dogshit marketing. Seriously, look at this trailer. It looks like a totally different game
youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo

People expected Demifiend and Ike from the teaser trailer. They got idols and that upset a lot of people. Then the idols got censored and that upset the people that wanted idols.

Having the sick status ailment helps. You might already know this, but if you're aiming for a specific Famed demon, try fusing a demon in its level range.

>bad publicity, made both SMT and FE fans think it was a straight up cross over, went silent for two years, and then tyrned put to be nothing anyone could have expected
>was not only on the Wii U but was on the Wii U while it was dying
>in the West the censorship pissed people off
>while gameplay is above average the overall plot and tone is still idol weebshit and pretty cringy with a character named "Tiki=Waifu"
It had all odds against it user. It failed so hard Japan didn't even make any porn really, that is jyst a sign of complete failure when your waifu shit barely gets porn.

Thanks user. Quick question, can a fusion error change skills? What I mean is will the error keep the same skills as the demon meant to fused?

weird how this trailer implies that nocturne's heroine is chiaki

really the closest thing to that is yuko

It failed due marketing failure. The initial reveal trailer showed FE characters and SMT characters and people expected a cross-over starring FE+SMT characters.
Then the devs went into complete radio silence regarding the game until the reveal trailer of the finished product, an idol-focused RPG that used SMT-style battle mechanics and starred FE: Awakening characters as Perso-I mean Performas.
That and it was also censored to hell and back, some of which kind of ran counter to the messages the game was trying to send (commentary on the idol industry). The game basically ended up as Persona x Awakening and if you've ever seen FE-related shitposting you'll know that a lot of people have issues with Awakening.

This post is poorly formatted. BRB casting Hamaon on myself.

You mean the skills you select before you preform the fusion? It's been awhile since I played Apocalypse, but I want to say it'll keep some of the skills. If there's not enough room, it removes some of your selected skills. Not 100% sure since I only went out of my way to fuse two Famed demons.

Does anyone have a screenshot of that post someone here made a long time ago about how SMT games should have it so that when the main character dies, the game ends? It was really edgy

but user... that's how the games works already

Yeah I know, but there was some people talking about how in SMTIV, the game doesn't immediately end when your MC dies, and then the response I'm looking for was saying how the game not ending when you die is pussy shit and it was full of so much edge and angst that I need to see it just so I can try to tell if it was being ironic or not

>so that when the main character dies, the game ends?
That is literally the game over state of most SMT games my dude.

Marin Karin

Does this mean everyone starts saging until we die?

Is this a thinly-veiled White post?

I gotchu bro.
I wish I had more whiteposting material though. Paying the price for laziness.

No, it's a thinly veiled BLACKED post.

Playing SMT II. Daleth just got brainwashed by some fairy chick, I feel kind of bad for the guy.
Also I just fused a demon (Camael) with Estoma, Diarahan and some great skills like Akasha Arts and Deathbound. Guess I'm not dying again anytime soon.

Certain equipment is only obtainable through sacrificing full loyalty demons to the Gournaden. I'm not sure what they are, but the wiki probably has a list

Reminder your favorite Megaten is shit.

But my favorite Megaten is also your favorite Megaten

Is there any Megaten game where law and chaos aren't batshit insane and neutral is the only actual choice for non-sociopaths?

SMT II and DeSuOC.

My favorite Megaten is shit

I remember that. It must have been back in October. I don't have any screenshots though.

Well now nobody is happy.

DeSu has literally all the endings put humanity either ahead or have no change, besides the bad ending.

So TMS probably sold too poorly to have a Switch port? I'm tempted to get it before every copy has been trashed.

Eh, it might become a rarity in some years but I can't imagine demand becoming too high for it so whatever.

SMT II. Just beat the 12 generals. I think I'm near the end if the plot escalation means anything. Also the railgun eats everything so between that and tarukaja I don't think I have to worry about anything that doesn't resist gun.

Playing through Strange Journey so I can be one of the cool kids and complain about the new stuff in Redux. I'm in sector F so far, not as difficult as I thought it would be based on the word of mouth over the years. Really liking it though, it's a contender for my favorite SMT already.

isn't yhvh immune to normal gun damage

Are you immune to normal gun damage?

He is.

Dead thread, dead law rep

D-delete this!

Holy shit though.

>bleeding from her fucking eyes
That's pretty brutal.

How is this game so good bros?

It isn't. That said, I want to fuck Ayase.

It's literally the only megaten released before the PS2 era that has some semblance of balance, and it has great atmosphere.
