In DDS, does the Red Key become available to grab from Harley's room as soon as you clear Svadisthana? I'd rather grab it now than forget about it and have to get it at end-game.

>>79215406

No you get the blue key from Harley's room. The red is obtained in a sewer maze that's behind a yellow wall

>>79215457
Ah shit, that's right. Well, can I go grab it ASAP? I just finished the place off.
I kind of wanna make this NG+ playthrough fairly brisk because I know Noise farming is gonna be time-consuming.

>>79215406
isn't the red key in that water maze

Which games don't have English versions?
Thinking about getting into all of this once I finish off some other RPGs I've been working on.

>>79215647
Majin Tensei series. Most of the Devil Children series. Devil Summoner 1, Shin Megami Tensei if...

I think that's all.

>>79215613

It's in the svadhisthana waterways. IIRC you want to look behind a waterfall not too far from the Cereberus boss fight.

You need the red key to fight a bunch of optional bosses anyway.

>>79215790
You forgot Giten and NINE. I think most of the Last Bible games aren't in english either, but I doubt anyone cares about those.

>>79215790
Thanks.

>>79216009
Yeah, that sounds about right.
I just had a look for myself and it seems as though you can't get the Blue Key straight after clearing Svadisthana. I kind of figured as much, since I didn't encounter a single random battle while backtracking to Harley's room. When I got there, the NPC that hands out the key wasn't there either. Oh well, onwards.

Is Nakajima his first name, or his last name? I seriously can't tell.

>>79216105

How is Giten? I know nothing about it other than the fact that it's a PC game.

>>79216429
Family name.

>>79216429

Both. His true name is Nakajima Nakajima

>>79216105
The Last Bible series had the Bible as the final boss in Another Bible.

Both it and Revelations: The Demo Slayer are the only ones in english.

I'm sold. I was just thinking the other day how I wanted to see more games with a Middle Eastern setting.

>>79216616
Oh and I mean Aeon Genesis translated Another Bible.

What do you think a second Golden Playhouse game would be like if one was ever made?

>>79216852
The first game is the only one where Lucifer is the final boss. The twist is that him and the other Gaia masters just want to protect the monsters. Except Mephisto who is a dick and kills one for power.

>>79216878
third bible in english when

Why hasn't the Last Bible or Devil Children series been translated? It seems like they would be something that would be easy for even an amateur translator to pick up and get done since they're Gameboy games.

>>79216607

Imagine a live action Megami Tensei movie.

>>79217210
That's the one where the human bad guy turns into a crystal lizard thing right?

>>79217317

Lack of interest I'd assume.

>>79217317
Actually someone has translated the story and certain details of the game for Red/Black/White/Fire/Ice. Not completely though, and the names for demons that they translated looked like they went through google translate.

Sound fine with me.

>>79217454

Well the way I see it is, there's only so many untranslated Gameboy games in the world and plenty of amateur fan translators out there who might want to get some practice on something smaller. Also, the MegaTen franchise is somewhat successful now and it's only getting more popular. Makes me wonder why I haven't even heard of any efforts to translate the Gameboy MegaTens.

Does starting with the worst demon in a race, and then going backwards using an element to get the best demon in a race still work in SMT IV?

Woah, that was fast. I want to use only 1 tag per game, and then add aliases to redirect other searches to those tags, so that nothing gets missed.

Next one is switching all demifiend to demi-fiend

when will the downloads pastebin be updated with the proper prepatched roms?

>tfw no element absorb passive to go with phys absorb
Damn you, DDS.

Next is shin_megami_tensei_iii_nocturne to shin_megami_tensei_nocturne

It's a short one

>>79222273
or maybe just make it "nocturne"?

>>79222789
Nah, it's already finished as shin_megami_tensei_nocturne

nocturne by itself will be an alias.

Next is changing strange_journey to shin_megami_tensei_strange_journey

If a post has both, delete the strange_journey tag. Thanks again anons.

So Im playing Nocturne and Im torn between making a Physical/Buff/Debuff build or a Healing/Light/Darkness build. Any odd builds that are fun?

>>79224937
Physical Buff Debuff, is as standard as you can get in Nocturne

>>79224937
Depends on which ending you plan on doing. If you're going for the True Demon Ending you'll want to go physical. Otherwise you can do whatever you want, but be warned that Curse/Expel magic won't work on bosses at all.

How good are Soul Hackers? I've played Nocturne and liked it, I'm guessing SH doesn't use press turn. Also, how are the fusion mechanics?

Ok so why the fuck does KMT have a way better interface then smt 1? like it actually gives you item details and shit, the game in general feels way more polished but i thought it came out before smt 1... whats up with that?

>>79230390
KMT came out after SMT1. It's a remake of the original Megami Tensei 1 + 2, which were on NES.

Not sure about SMT4 but it sure as hell does in Soul Hackers 3DS.

>>79230330
SH is great, but doesn't use press turn. Instead it has a demon loyalty system.

>>79230330
SH is pretty nice, the combat is standard and the fusion is somewhat annoying. Its a lot like smt 1 with its demons and fusion mechanics.

>>79237158

That screenshot is "real", though, but I added the accents in Paint because I didn't modify the game's graphics.

As far as I know, there are only Chinese and Orden's Spanish fantranslations available. No one else wants to bother with SMT.

For non gamepad guys here, what does your set up look like?

>>79249047
I haven't actually tried it, but it shouldn't be too difficult to get something that works. Depends on your preference, but you could try having the right analog to the mouse, the LMB to X, RMB to O, then WASD to move. Square is the map and pass turn button, and Triangle is the auto battle and rearrange skills button, so pick what you think is appropriate for that. R1/L1 are used for switching between character status screens, and can also be used to control the camera, so for this setup, Q/E would be good.

Do you mean YHVH or the Great Will?

YHVH, as the manifestation of god is clearly not omnipotent and the Great Will only oversees creation. In fact the Great Will's existence more or less implies that even lawful worlds will come to an end.

Chaos can't even handle the extremes of their own ideology, hence why Hikawa was considered a heretic.

Besides the Great Will is not omniptoent either. The idea that it might be is just as wrong as YHVH being omnipotent.

You literally would create world were a peaceful, honest, happy and simple life would be impossible, and also, praising God, an almighty being that wouldn't do us any harm as long as we are faithfull to him isn't as stupid as you think since the world is overrun with demons and gods, praising God and receiving prosperity, safety, justice and eternal rest after death is a pretty good deal, even better, everyone born in a lawful world would have this rights, it's by far the best option for humanity and the future.

>>79256271
At the very least the world would be peaceful and happiness would reing while the world lasted.

>>79257341
It's only natural that chaos would disagree amongst itself. That's what it means to be an entity of chaos.

>>79257432
>eternal rest
You'll just be reincarnated at some point. The cycle continues, and you might reincarnate in a world where YHVH isn't the supreme power. Like how the Four Archangels of SMTII were reborn as humans in the world of Brahman, and the Atma virus allowed them to overwrite their human self to eat humans and build the thousand year kingdom in His world.

Because there's no point to distinct between them. That's why Catholic Churches, and only Catholic Churches in King Abaddon are places where people worship the Great Will.

Even in Nocturne a NPC calls Metatron a servant of the Great Will.

>>79258535
>Because there's no point to distinct between them

Grammar aside, sure there's a distinction. YHVH is the manifestation within the physical world and due to the way the conception works it is probably heavily influenced by the Reason that goes into the creation of the world.

This is why the angels and YHVH are presented differently across the series when they would otherwise be immutable.

>>79257971
You can be part of a group and disagree with someone, while also not agreeing with the rest of them.

Minako in IV had plans to place Astartoh as the RIng's King, and when that failed she ditched those bunch of psychos to make Tokyo fertile by reviving Ishtar. She was still part of the chaos alignment regardless.

Though at least she doesn't have to become Ishtar on Neutral since the dome will be removed, with life returning just fine without that goddess.

Only the strong willed will be allowed to live in the world of law. The weak willed, which is most of humanity, shall be purged, and those that remain shall praise God for all eternity.

>>79258856

It's not about agreement, it's about not being a bunch of pussy bitches. Hikawa was the strongest in the cult and the rest of the cult of hypocrites turned away from it. If there was anything to their ideology at all, the conception wouldn't have been so easy for him to accomplish. Easily manipulated, easily killed. Chaos likes to talk about strength but when it comes down to it and their nuts are in a vice, they're always too weak to win.

>>79257432
Would rather die young in a world where i can do and believe whatever the fuck i want then die old in a world where god restricts everything i want to do or think

>>79258859
Sometimes chaos is about just doing what you believe in, even if it hurts other, and when you fuck up you actually try to fix shit. Like Dahn in KA.

Others just want to oppose God, and the way they go about it determines how much of a dick they are. Like Naoya's two 8th Days.

And others just want true freedom, without going world of STR.

>>79259253
Mem Aleph is actually pretty STR, including some demons.

Plus the supporters of their alignment change between games as well. The Four Heavenly Kings were on chaos side in SJ, and the Mothers did beat YHVH when he was weak.

Not all of them are weak bitches, even Kaga was able to make a demon who thought she was invincible thanks to her magic get weak enough thanks to a stomach ache that the Samurai could beat them.

While those weaklings as Tsukiji basically mocked her when they couldn't even handle a couple demons coming from the Reactor in Ichigaya.

Though there is some irony in that Koga Saburo slaughters the lot of them on Walters route, when he's a chaos demon who a hunter thinks likely wants humans to get STR so they can survive when the Red Pills are no longer useful.

>>79259745

They are chaos, because chaos is defined by hypocrisy.

>>79259913

Yes but when the earth is threatened by rot and decay she will rise up and become a champion of STR.

The Schwarzwelt shows her when man has reached the point of no redemption as the negative energies of the rotting earth transform it into the state seen in the game, while the beautiful positive energies make it a place of beauty when life is overflowing.

>>79260239

They say nothing about having a strong will.

In fact, there's an angel in Grus who defines law as subverting the individual will for the whole so actually it's very much the opposite.

>>79259964
>because chaos is defined by hypocrisy
That's a pretty stupid thing to say. Why did you come to that conclusion? Oh, right, because in Nocturne they aren't acting like true Shin Chaos guys would act.
Also nothing can be defined by hypocrisy alone, they first have to pretend to be something and that something is that something regardless of faggots who can't live up to it.

>>79259745
Being hypocritical is part of human nature, its helped us survive for ages so shut the fuck up before i kill your god

>>79260525

Then why do the true chaosfags not worship the strongest god?

YHVH already won in the wurld of str contest. Chaos should acknowledge that.

As the strongest, he's allowed to do what he wants with his wurld of STR.

Also the demon endings in nocturne are chaos.

>>79261643
So nobody can try to be stronger? What the fuck, do you even get what wurld of STR means?
If some kid with long hair kills the faggot in charge he'll be the new one. Nobody would care about that yellow fuckface anymore.

>>79261643
The normal demon ending seems more like the worst aspect of Neutral. To cowardly to not only pick a side, but also too weak willed to try to change things by becoming a True Demon or restoring the old world.

Even Kagutsuchi doesn't think you deserve a battle to the death, and I honestly feel like Lucifer is mocking you with his dialogue about the thousand year kingdom for the demons and his blessing when he abandons that world to go somewhere else.

>>79261946

>>79260492

That's what having a strong will is. Chaos gives into their impulses. You can define their impeccable never giving up as strong willed. But they have to give their everything to do it. Law is even stronger willed. They get the same results without roaring or even breaking a sweat.

Yeah unless you solo things for amazing exp I guess.

And then there's new game plus which is so trivial as to not really be worth mentioning in terms of difficulty.

>>79266378
>>79266717

Just regular mode SJ? What makes it so difficult? Was gonna play it when I finish SH

Not that I'm complaining if its hard, I wanna be doom guy

>>79266931
The random battles in SJ are pretty trivial, but it has some incredibly hard mandatory boss battles and some pretty sadistic dungeons

>>79267054

What can make SJ hard is the fact you don't control your stats, so it's possible to end up at the end of the game as some fucking 30 str gimp and just get rocked by every real bossfight. By which I mean, avoid magic support demonica. Even elemental gun damage is determined by your strength stat.

Levelling up is also going to be tough on you if you keep a full party out at all times. Magnetite isn't in the game, but I strongly suggest putting one or two demons away some times regardless, to keep ahead of the enemies you're fighting.

Otherwise just keep fusing and don't get too attached to a demon that will be shit in 5 levels and you should be good to go.

Things that are close to impossible or impossible to avoid the first time around but trivial upon repetition are artificial difficulty, for example. Things that have one very specific way to do right that isn't hinted at well to the player would also fall into this category.

Tryhard shitters need not apply to game mechanic discussions.

On hard in nocturne that situation is possible to run into but I would say if you're dying in an ambush on normal, it's probably player error. Before the player starts finding enemies with mudo in the assembly of nihilo, NPCs around Ginza or Ikebukuro will tell the player that Nihilo has demons with those skills. There are other examples of this where NPCs indicate what kind of shit the player will be running into through the game, that's just the only example I remember specifically. Hints drop off as time goes on because the player is supposed to be getting better at skill selection and team building to be better protected from shit in the first place, but the inflated prices and deflated macca/exp make that harder as well.

A lot of the added difficulty in an Atlus RPG will be of the artificial kind, which is why those difficulty options sometimes don't open up until the game has been beat once, since pitting players against that shit the first time around isn't a way to create fun.

>>79274737
oh I see, when you wipe out the entire enemy formation before they can even take a single action, it's satisfying and nice

but when the same thing happens to YOUR team it's suddenly bullshit and a bad mechanic

>>79275339

inflated prices and deflated macca/exp on hard mode, that should say

>>79275425
>Comparing a player doing everything perfectly to computer controlled AI.

>>79275514

Depends. Did I set my team up to kill things in the first round in the area I'm in? Did I have the options and was I given the foreknowledge of what I would be up against in the the area to avoid having the same done to me?

Battles don't exist in a vacuum when determining if they're bullshit. The circumstances bear looking at as well.

>>79275543

>>79275713

It's not necessarily a double standard. You have to consider the map and the circumstances. How many battles is the player going to be fighting from one save point to the next? What are the chances they'll be ambushed? What can they do to prevent ambushes, in terms of items or skills? If a player who has taken every precaution available can be wiped out in one battle from full health/mana you're not really creating fun.

The player being at least a little stronger than your average group of mooks is a core aspect of most RPGs, otherwise why do we give a shit about our protagonist? What makes him special?

>>79275910
Hard mode only, which means unless you imported a DDS1 file, then it's NG+.

Clipped Wings 1 and 2 are pretty good, if only for the battle music.

Didn't really care for The Eternal Youth and Ancient One of the Sun, just a single boss battle and a look at the aftermath of the other Tokyos.

For the Past... For the Future is basically the game's Ultimate Boss, but finishing Clipped Wings 1 and 2 is essentially mandatory, since you need demons with the pierce abilities.

Or that one grinding DLC with Aeshma, that learns magical pierces which you can fuse into other shit.

So is the thing to free Izanami in MegaTen 1 artificial difficulty? I don't remember any hints as to what order you put the gems in.

I haven't played the game so I'm not sure. Depends on what happens if you do it wrong, like if it gives you a game over or if nothing happens and you are able to try it a different way.

If it's presented as a puzzle, those are usually designed with the idea that the player will screw up in mind so they'll usually make sure the player gets another chance to try it pretty quick. If there's no hints on what order the gems need to go in but there are hints that there are some gems and they have to be used a certain way to progress, that could just be the game testing the player's memory and process of elimination skills.

It means nothing. All games are artificial, therefore all difficulty is artificial.

If you don't like "artificial difficulty", then what are you doing in /smtg/? Literally every SMT game except Persona 4 is rife with it. It's part of the charm that we like about the games.

Well it kicks you out of the room when you mess up and you have to wait until the next full moon (or new moon, I'm not sure) to try again.

Not really. There's not actually that much on a given game's normal mode, and when it's there it's not really part of the charm.
