I absolutely love Nocturne but the difficulty is pretty disappointing. Once you get past the first candelabrum boss fight you'll steamroll pretty much the rest of the game. The only fight I had issues with was Mot, because I forgot to bring any demons with zio.

>>257791263
Honestly it depends on how lucky you are. It can get insanely difficult at times, with random encounters finishing off your MC before you even get a single turn. I believe it doubles the damage you receive and also makes enemies crit you more, lowers your chances to hit/crit/avoid and makes running away from battles next to impossible. Strange Journey was certainly very easy compare to my run of Nocturne hard mode, but there are people who didn't have that much difficulty in it.

The great thing about PCs is that if it runs like shit you can lower the quality.

But no I played it on a shit rig and it was fine.

goddamn you fuckers are whiny babies.
This game is the first turn-based rpg i've cared to play for more than a couple hours (I normally play fighting games), and I am not finding it rage-worthy at ALL. The only part I got stuck on so far was Matador and I grinded for a bit, fused demons, and kicked his ass. This game is challenging, sure, but damn. I fucking love this game. Go play Pokemon or something.

also change the EE/FPU advanced compiler settings to nearest it fixes everything being transparent and fixes a game breaking bug

DDS was great too but I really don't see myself replaying it anytime soon.

Compare every shin megami tensei game to persona 4.

I need to know if all of them is shit I don't care about: the game

the slice of life, the cringy dialogue, the waifu simluation, the boring repetitive dungeons (with the saving grace being that combat is somewhat tactical), the doing same shit every day for different days to grind stats (because grinding dungeons isn't enough), and I just hate the tone in general, it feels like a game made for kids (the best comparison I can think of is shounen vs seinen in anime)

And before you reply with "you don't have to grind", I mean that it feels like a grind the first time through, I don't mean replaying parts over and over to get stronger, the base game does that for you.

And then here's the part that irks me the most. I fucking love giant bomb right? To the point where I have seen every quick look, every live show. So why couldn't I sit through them playing persona 4? I'm on part 69 and I'm almost ready to kill myself.

I feel like there's something I'm not getting because people seem to love these games, and being that it's a JRPG genre I should be all over that. I don't want to miss out on a great series.

>>257794364

I really wish I knew about that beforehand. I was poor as shit as soon as I got Iron Stomach.

Persona 3 and 4 are probably the most character-focused games. You could say they're 50% talking, 50% gameplay. Other MegaTen games are usually something like 80% gameplay, 20% story.
If you don't like them, shit, try out literally any other PS2 MegaTen game. Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, even Raidou games (although those are kinda different). Try Devil Survivor if you like SRPGs. The second one is fine, too, although it does have more dialogue and shit.

Nocturne is kinda similar to Persona 3 combat (you basically get an extra half-turn every time you hit a weakness instead of knocking the enemy down) and has a lot of dungeon crawlan. Devil Survivor is basically a SRPG where every unit is a party of three and combat is just one or two turns of everyone doing shit.

You have to decide for yourself.

That reminds me, how often is a physical build actually the best way to go? The only time I can think of is Nocturne, I played DDS and even though physical went okay, I was a bit annoyed to find out that magic got god damn Null Element.

It's the theme that plays during battles. Either way, the random encounter theme is better than the one in Nocturne.

it depends whether the copy is a first or second run. my copy of is a 1st PAL run and it displays DEAD during the final battle like other regions, but it also unfortunately has a bug that causes it to often freeze during specific enemy formations in the amala labyrinth. 2nd run seems to have fixed that issue and made some minor changes, like a couple of typos, couple of enemies AI that they messed up a bit and changing the DEAD to MUTE for some bizarre reason.

Currently playing SMT4 for the third time, trying to get neutral. I've played a bit of Nocturne before, but never finished it. If I have the disk still, can I emulate it with relative ease, or does it not matter? I'd love to go back and finish it.

I forget exactly where I left off, I remember doing the tower thing with the weavers, and maybe beating the fiends that are available around that time.

>>257805571
I'm emulating Nocturne with a laptop, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

>>257805571
it's pretty easy to emulate, I don't think having the disc really matters, using an ISO would be the same

What's the point of "route splits" in Megaten when Neutral is the absolute best in every single game other than Nocturne, in which the best route in True Demon which also makes "route splits" pointless?

>>257805765
for fags that wanna be different

>>257805856

No press turn combat is a big deal.
Along with non cuztomisable party members that can't be switched in battle.

>>257818345
You're right, there's no press turn. You just get extra turns for exploiting weaknesses and crits, and so does the enemy.
