I don't remember. I think something stops you.
Step the fuck up, faggots. Majority of the images posted aren't even /smtg/ related. I know OP (who is a faggot btw) provoked you with his image but come on, at least post some nice images.
>>85321684
Don't mind that faggot. It's objectively best spelland Arisu objectively best girl.
my favorite physical skill is occult flash
>only get it from a late game, neutral path only demonalso, P.S.
light and dark means more about if said demon is either revered or antagonized in its native mythology than if it's mean or benevolent in practice.

SMT IV was why I asked.
>>85321974
>>85322045
She gets mad at you for not literally dropping dead right there on the spot and then exactly the same thing happens as if you'd picked no. It was disappointing. That's the SNES version, anyway, don't know if it's different in other versions.
>>85324519
Yes. No specific information to support the claim, but it seems that it has an effect on whether the demon gets mad or not with some of the answers.
I want to fuck Mirai
>>85324681
Same with PS. Pretty unfortunately actually. Don't forget that Arisu is very happy at first but Hero is a fucking asshole and doesn't keep his promise. Poor girl.
>>85322754

Do debuffs happen in an add/subtract or a complete removal?
i.e. let's say enemy is at +2 Tarukaja. I use Tarunda three times. Enemy uses Dekunda. Is he back at +2 or is he sitting at +0?
This nigga is literally using Chaturbhuja and I haven't gone past +2 on myself or -2 on him or used any healing spell whatsoever.
I survived it this turn but shit son.
>>85326797
you probably have some sort of resistance that he doesnt like
>>85327009
Just defeated him so I guess it's fine now. But that was still some BS. I guess he still has a chance of using it, I barely survived that shit though even at +2 defense jeez
>>85327317
IIRC he only used Chaturbhuja when you used Almighty skills and healing didn't count. I had no problems beating him and he never cast that spell.
So time for Seth. I don't know what the fuss is about this Pain skill but surely it can't be more BS than Chaturbhuja

What are your top five SMT endings?
Hey guys, just started playing Soul Hackers on my 3DS. A friend said you can change the difficulty to what it was in the Sega Saturn ver. of the game, and that the 3DS options are easier I don't see that option. Was he bullshitting me?
>>85325549

Nocturne TDE
DeSu1 8th Day Edgelord
SMT2 Law
SJ Neuter
DeSu2 meritocracy
>>85332315
Alright
>>85331128
in no real order:
DDS2 (fuck you I liked it)
DeSu1 Nayoa route
SMT1 Neutral
TDE
SJ law
>>85332751
>SJ law
If any of those deserved a "(fuck you I liked it)", it was that one.
>>85332905
I like how conclusive it is. The other law endings just tend to pussyfoot around the issue of the longevity of the peace, but SJ's assures you that it'll remain forever. Or something. I agree more with neutral but I like the conclusiveness of SJ's law
>>85333036
it doesn't make sense though
what's the point of humans existing if all they're going to do is mindlessly praise god forever
>>85333614
That's what they were originally created to do though
>>85333664
so basically god is so much of a self absorbed prick that he has to create an entire race just to praise him
and its not like god is perfect too
>>85333664
Did you play SJ? They were created to live free and worship their natural paragons, the Gods. YHVH meddled with Mem Aleph's souls.
>>85333664
Might as well make a billion loudspeakers if that's what you want. Fuck YHVH, Lucifer and company are dicks but at least they're not this fucking boring.
>Just gotBlack Samuraiarmor in SMTIV
We Strange Journey now.Can anyone spoiler-free tell me whether or not the two are connected? Or is the design of the armor just a nod to SJ?
>>85334275
I guess IV is after Strange Journey since Demonica's exist
>>85334275
Black Samurai is Ryan after undergoing a sex-change operation due to trying to distance himself from the traumas he underwent in the Schwarzwelt
>>85334275
The CDF took a lot of their tech from the Schwarzwelt teams
I guess at one point demonica designs went public
>>85334716
I wonder, do they reference the Schwarzwelt in IV?
>>85335030
Nope.
>>85335030
No. The demonicas are all you get. Actually, Ashera does show up so maybe she has some oblique reference? I forget
>>85334275
>>85335030
You do see a statue of Mem Aleph in the Ring of Gaea's HQ

>>85335895
Out. Now.
>>85335786
Yeah but only in NG+ and only if you do the chaos route
>>85335895
Like anon said, out now. This is Yukarifag territory, no Chiefags allowed.
>>85335953
You just had to ruin it, didn't you. On the other hand, maybe SMTIV will be the first SMT I will actually bother to do NG+ on.
>>85335895

Atlus really should start ditching some demon design permanently or at least get Kaneko to redraw them so they don't look like it is scanned from a book from the 80s
>>85336473

>He looks likes a dragon ball alien villain who would act high and mighty then get his ass kicked within secondsthats why I like him
>>85338267
>how does this fucker move around
I think I've got it
The wheel is on the ground, and he sorta drags himself along with the big arm
>>85337717
shit you are right. They could at least redraw it on a computer.
>>85338520
thats dumb, but more than likely true
>>85338660
its so bad, did anyone think to say no to this shit?
Do you like the special edition, european friends?
>>85338267
He's chaos incarnate, the laws of physics mean nothing to Sanat
>>85338084
Look at this guy, he's also a guest design but he doesn't look like he's from a different franchise.
>>85338997
>>85339048
did they tell the guests to draw however the fuck they wanted?
if anything they shouldve done their take on kanekos style
>>85339048

Nice lucifer with boobs, faggot.
I have $3.93 on my 3DS, what DLC should I get for IV?
Alright /smtg/, I'm atInfernal Camp Ichigaya about to get the Nothingness ending.I want to have a sort of last hurrah before I stop playing for a long time, since this will be my third cycle. I intend to play on Master difficulty and get the Neutral End next time but had considered reincarnating with nothing aside from the compendium.
Any thoughts on what I should bring with me into my last session?
>>85340517
Ancient of Days or Sanat DLC.
>>85340517

There's such a thing? Oh man is it NG+ only?
>>85340903
Giten is on a whole new level.
>>85340903
Giten was pretty graphic
>>85340710
Both Clipped Wing's?
>>85340710
Have the small bastard at level 90. I want the game to be a challenge at the start again, should have specified that.
>>85341080
Yeah, you only get it when you beat the game the first time.
>>85337270
Kaneko loves you too.
>>85340536
>Any thoughts on what I should bring with me into my last session?
Fuse an angel and take it with you, and level it up all throughout the game until it becomes a Cherub.

>>85341480
>kaneko is swimming in arioch
>>85342176
I dunno. That's just something you could do upon starting the game.
>>85342268
oh, yeah
hurr

>test
>>85342268
>>85341503
>>85340710
Alright new plan. I'll blow all my money filling out the compendium, sell off everything I have and reincarnate without anything but the compendium. First thing I'll do in the new cycle is fuse an Angel, and I'll try to keep her with me the whole game until she becomes a cherub. Sound good?
>>85342873
If you're going neutral, get a neutral demon.
>>85342873
get a slime.
let him become your new best friend.
>>85342990
I'll do that too, anon.
>>85343023
What purpose would that serve?
>>85343112
The slime should always be in your party.
>>85343257
But why?
>>85343257
>slime
why?
>>85343415
because is a slime
>>85343763
No thanks. I will get the angel though.
Alright, I'm gonna do it. Wish me luck /smtg/?

>>85344426
> Doing my best to fill out my compendium as I play through SMT IV
>doing this on your first run
why? that's needless suffering, and i don't believe that it has a concrete reward since you can buy compendium discount apps anyway.
>>85344620
I fucking LOVE demons.
It makes it worth it when I have a sexy fucking huge compendium to scroll through and the ability to get comfy in bed and read through all my new demon profiles at the end of a day.
I just fucking love demons.
>>85344426
get any fusion accidents yet anon
>>85345143
Yeah, one while making a Basilisk.
It turned into Dantalian.
Annoying as fuck because I needed a Basilisk for Medusa and had to shell out MORE cash to get my Basilisk.
>>85345282
At least you get early access to both -karn spells
>>85345091
that's fine, but it's not worth the trouble on your first run... unless say you have decent luck and won't have trouble recruiting as many demons as possible to binge fuse, as long as you're just interested in compendium entries over skill-sets
>>85345710
I feel I should clarify, I'm not actively trying to max it out, but I'm making the effort to fuse every special fusion as I reach the level requirement as well as recruit every demon I can as I encounter them.
I use them until I get their demon whisper, register them and then fuse them with another demon at the same point, always for a new, unused demon.

That faggot anon from the last thread lied to me, Gate isn't cancelled, the dev's just coding for other shit.
That's still basically the same thing as canceling it, but I'm hopeful yet.
Okay. I think this is a reasonable first setup for now.
>>85351151
>Gate on hiatus
>Devil Cortex dead
It's not that God doesn't exist. It's that he doesn't care for the subhumans (or nowhere near as much, at any rate, as he cares for the humans). That's why he leaves their prayers unanswered. For humans and subhumans have always wanted exactly opposite things: We want war, death and destruction recurring eternally; they want what every childish self-indulgent female wants: "peace", "holidays", and a lot of sleep. We ask for no quarter, and give none; they are constantly begging for handouts and their "equal rights". Even if God wanted to grant everyone's wishes, he simply couldn't, and given that he has to pick a side, it's only natural that he would choose ours over the plebeians'; for as Sabatini points out somewhere, "the gods themselves are all aristocrats".

>>85353636
He's a challenge quest boss on the Law Route.
>>85353726
They just learn whatever skills the evolved demon would have at that level. You can keep whatever skills you had before if you want to.

why does it matter? if you'd ever consider being magic on tde, you'd be better off fusing other demons with pierce and having demi be support and vending machine
>>85355027
>why does it matter?
I was only wondering, since it's affected by physical resistance, right?
>>85355112
i honestly have no idea. other anon said no.
it just seems like an awesome skill to use if you have reasonable expectation on when it's worthwhile.

>>85357713
Tell that to the four Heavenly Kings in DeSu when they side with God and the routes where you don't fight YHVH, side with the Mothers in SJ, and side with Neutral in IV.

>>85358508

Trumpeter is a servant of God, and is welcoming the age of Chaos in Nocturne by Demi-Fiend becoming a True Demon.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are also His servants, and got sealed in Infernal Tokyo by Belial for that reason.
And the despair of man summons them in the Infinite Abyss thanks to the system made by God called King Abaddon, alongside His other servants the Apollyon and Ophanim.
