Hey /v/, what's your favorite Shin Megami Tensei demon?
For me, it's gotta be Barong.
Will we have Fuse-able Dagda in SMTV?
meh whyfu
>>375513174
Barong is shit.
>>375513174
PRINCE OF LIES
LORD OF THE FLIES
Claimed
I hope he comes back in SMT V
>>375513174
>That one boss who forces you to git gud if you want to keep playing.
I like all the skeletons
>>375515357
yeah me too
I had one of these guys in DeSu 2 who wrecked face, kept him on my main team for way longer than I should have
>>375513174
Angelic perfection.
>>375515603

OG Beelzebub had them too.
only thing P5 did wrong was not having this guy in it
>>375516202CUTE
I honestly don't understand why I like Mara so much
>>375516202
Well he was technically fused with mister Armstrong.
>>375516350
>I like Mara so much
We all know why, anon.
Beings made out of Paper are always the coolest.
her P5 model and animations are so great
I tend to use him and Surt/Thor a lot at the middle/end of a lot of SMT games.
>>375516631
I still don't get why the fish and the dinosaur are on her design.
>>375516475
i hate how stronk he is in p5
For me, it's the McChicken. A crisp chicken patty seasoned to perfection, with fresh lettuce, a tasty bun and just the right amount of mayonnaise. The perfect fast food sandwich.

>>375516752
Wendy's crispy chicken is better. After McDonalds stopped selling the Southern Style, I stopped eating their chicken.
The only figure I ever bought. 50cm and 500 yen.
>>375516879
Why is she so perfectly THICK?
WHOEVER DESIGNED THIS IS A GOD.
>>375516945
Post a pic anon
>>375516752
What alignment is the McChicken?
>>375513174

best fucking redesign in the history of smt
>>375516202
he would be a persona if shido was a persona user
>>375517004
Am at Uni but it's probably pic related. Though my bad, posted too quickly, it's not 50cm at all I'd say it's perhaps H15xL30 ?
Best duo
>>375516475
This guys always been my favorite. He's still in my party at the end of P5 too.
Best girl
>>375516350
it's okay, anon. I won't tell your parents or anything
>>375516879
Thank god they didn't keep the concept art, she got so much more interesting.

This was my fucking guy in early SMT IV and DeSu 1.
Why did Nocturne used the old "le purple naked man" design for Loki, when you have this classy motherfucker?
>>375516350
There is literally no r34 involving Mara.
One day I'll be able to put Morning Star on my goddessfu.
>>375518570
Fuck yeah, cheesy dick was GOAT in P3.

>>375519410
What the fuck is his problem?
>>375519753
Funny enough, Dagda's japanese VA is the same as Shido's. Dagda is one of those few characters who had great voice acting in both languages.
>>375518286
I love his design, but he's so shit in game always
>>375518312
OINGO MEGIDO BROTHERS
>>375519783
Thoth explained it there. Joker can't get his dick wet so he takes out his frustration on shadows.

I'm enjoying the undubs of IV/IVA and DeSu a lot. Miyuki Sawashiro has the sexiest voice ever.

>>375520683

>>375520683
Meh; I was kinda disappointed with him
When I was playing strange journey and found 3 humanoid demons with the name "ki", I knew they would fuse into something, and I thought it'd be this super badass mind-blowing thing but then it turned out to just be another humanoid ki-monster but edgy.
Nigga carried me through Devil Survivor 1 endgame
>>375520904
he is though
>>375519774
Maybe more
Imagine
>>375520683
>>375520904
P5? He is in there.
>>375518312
I can't help but imaging those shitty fb memes when I see its name.
>>375520934
He was a fun gimmick boss in Nocturne that can be incredibly easy if you fight at the right time when kagutsuchi is shinning brightest.
>>375513174
Seiryuu and ongyo-ki.
I fuse Seiryuu any chance I get. I usually try to fuse Suzaku and the other 2 as well, but I always fuse Seiryuu.
>>375520749
>Miyuki Sawashiro
Literally the best VA imo, can be much more dynamic than most others. I fell in love with her voice ever since I heard her in Danganronpa.
>>375519460

She was /mygirl/ in SMT IV because of her learning Luster Candy really early. Shame she wasn't in P5.
>>375516728
But I know why the bull is there ;^)
>>375521545

IV:A's fine dude. IV also has some good designs here and there
>>375521716
Oh. Those crazy Ebons and their slang.
>>375521545
Hot damn those clocks
really loved the emphasis on miniboss fights in P5. the battle themes for them felt right out of Digital Devil Saga.
>>375516130
That's a Flynn.
>>375521315
byakko/bai hu was always my favorite of the ssu ling but seiryuu is pretty up there too. genbu tends to get the short end of the stick of the four tho
>>375522180
>genbu tends to get the short end of the stick of the four tho
I'd give Genbu my short stick
Tie between Seth and Hell Biker
>>375521823
Almost everything posted here looked like this before IV.
>>375522180
Genbu is my favorite outside of smt, but Genbu is usually not only the worst of the 4, I really don't like his design. Needs more emphasis on the turtle part and less on the snake.
>>375521769
Sorry about that anon, I forgot to add the image and to remove the quote
Praise Jeanne
>>375520749
What's this image from?
This is my dude. Is he in P5?
I really liked Black Maria after using her in SMTIVA. Anubis also.
>>375521545
Those look great, it would catch anyone's eye.
>>375521936
Never played a SMT before, and the first time this fucker showed up left me speechless. Ended up playing IV:A, Nocturne and DDS, and I plan to continue with a few 3ds more games. What a cool design, easily my favourite.
>>375522446
Unironically the only female demon design that turns me on. She is so ridiculously attractive, which doesn't make sense to me because I usually like bigger breasts.
>>375522491
Hi Mastema
Nobody ever talks about Soul Hackers. Is it good?
>>375522620
I love soul hackers. It's just fundamentally different than most SMTs, because of double row and 6 demon parties. Fantastic game with fantastic music.
>>375522491
Wow, this angel looks really, really trustworthy.
>>375522620
Too retro for nintenbabies
>>375513174
>demon
Aren't they called Persona?
>>375522554
He left me speechless because he kicked my ass several times before I neat him.
>>375522731
>>375522709
Well I wanna heckin try it dudes, is it THAT different?
>>375520495
Vishnu-Flynn was the shit, hopefully it becomes fuseable one day
>>375522729
where does this meme come from? I suppose that he end up betraying you or something, in what game does that happens?
>>375522620
SH has the best angel in the franchise
>>375522439
I believe it's this or from some other random Kaneko artbook.
https://www.amazon.com/Shigaijo-x304-Jiken-Inside-Apocalypse/dp/4061821849
>>375522792
in the persona series yes, but in mainline SMT they're demons
is jesus in any smt game?
>>375519018
Teebeeache, her design is ugly as fuck, but I need me some of that sweet Reflect Phys
Also, is it worth getting a 3DS for IV/Apocalypse and the upcoming SJ remake?
>>375522798
He´s there basically to teach you how to use the press turn system and most importantly, the smirk system. And it works, at least for me.
Why has no one posted the giantess that's covered in a black and white zigzag like pattern
>>375522804
It's extremely different. But it's definitely worth trying at the least.
>>375522446
Why the skulls, though? That one guy is even doing the Constanza face.
>>375518754
Mara already is r34
>>375522124
>p5 camera wont let you rotate her all the way
>>375521452
his IV:A design was dope too, and they incorporated his lore into the plot well
>>375522929
No but there is the generic Messiah in Persona 3
>>375522804
It has a really charming setting and characters, the first person dungeons are also quite fun.
It's just the battle system that's a bit clunky and barebones but if you like exploration and cyberpunk you might enjoy the whole package enough to go through it.
>>375522929

>>375523045It does if you use the action button.
>>375522929
Yes
>>375522804
No, it's simply more like the older games, so first person dungeon crawling, larger active party including humans and that fucking magicite mechanic.
Otherwise a great game though.

>>375517982
Not really a demon anon.
>>375522942
Isn't the Citra working okay for people who don't have a 3DS yet?
Otherwise yeah IV/IVA each have their good points amid the bad, primarily one of the best soundtracks in the series. DSJ also looks fun unless the save anywhere mechanic brings the dungeons down.
>>375523357
shame he was a weak as fuck mid-boss in the cosmic egg
>>375523398

God is there a demon more fucking useful than this bitch in the entirely of SMT?
Me and my friend were talking recently about how good Randa is in SMT and when I got around to playing P5 she stayed in my party right up until the final day.
>>375516648
What did this mysterious warrior mean by this?
>>375522942
3DS is pretty good for SMT. It's got IV/A, Devil Survivor 1 & 2 remakes, Soul Hackers remake and Persona Q.
I may be biased but I think it's worth playing IV for the boss theme alone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cSbof7Pik
>>375523639
this guy carried the mid-game in both DeSu games
>>375523568
Yeah, Vishnu and Odin always seemed like decent people in Megaten games to me and this game wanted us to see them as comic book villains for some reason.
No reason to just force Dagda or Persona down your throat and not even hint at a middle Divine Powers route, had so much potential.
>>375523858
I hope a Divine Powers style organization becomes a staple in SMT, it'd be fun to side with a team that isn't filled with angels or demons. Plus Krishna, Maitreya and Odin were pretty great, he just wanted to save us all man
>>375523792
SMT IV's OST is god-tier. That and the voice acting make your butt clench while playing an almost static 2D turn-based fight.
>>375523983
Since Odin will be big in the new SMT that would probably be a kind of Wild Card Route
>>375524138
I loved the dub in IV and IV:A. Atlus did a really good job with those, and from what I've seen it they're better than P5's dub too.
My first SMT wasDemikids
>>375516752
mcchicken has no taste, it has no style, crispy chicken shits all over it
>>375524138
and IV:A added some great tracks, like the one that plays against Satan and Vishnu-Flynn, and both YHVH phases
>>375524150
I heard some people speculating that SMT V could have Ragnarok as its main conflict, since Thor and Odin were both at the front of the demon pack
>>375521936
This is genuinely my all time favourite
>>375523792
This theme is the standout for me, especially the part @1:15. those bells
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMSmi8ZOSno
>>375524263
imo Dagda's English voice was better than his JP one, that Irish accent was smooth as fuck

Oh please, yes. Something different from the typical judeo-christian lore. They can still be there but a different setting would be great.

yeah, them featuring Odin and Thor in the trailer gives me hope for a Ragnarok conflict, plus it gives them the chance to pad out the Norse line-up and give them official artwork and shit
>>375524397
Dagda's JP voice is a generic strongman voice. I'm so glad they went with his raspy accent in English.

I remember making him in P4 at Mistuo's dungeon and keeping him with me for the rest of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj0i56WYuwU
>>375525482
This was great in the scene it first played, how it incorporated Krishna's flute etc.
>>375525482
everytime this theme came on it gave me chills and fit perfectly.
>krishna coming out of the ark
>flynn getting fucked by the divine powers
>that pre-battle krishna scene
>right after the cosmic egg is formed and odin and krishna come by to gloat
>krishna turning into vishnu-flynn
probably one of the GOAT villain themes honestly
Welp, my outburst inspired me to make a quick edit...
>>375525848
they did a really good job with the Divine Powers in general, I hope they become a recurring group. My favorite part is how within the group they all had different ideologies, but were allied for the purpose of taking out YHVH. Like Maitreya was obviously a chaosfag
>>375526104
I liked that a lot too.
>krishna wants all souls to be one with him
>odin wants all souls separated equally among gods
>maitreya wants all souls to undergo enlightenment
>then you have fags like quetzacoatl who are just in it to kill people
The only problem was that you couldn't ally with them, which i really hope means they or a faction like them returns
>>375526030
>>375526573

>>375516475
Lol he's never left my roster ever since I got him in P5, nulls physical dmg.
Rangda is also good. Reflects physical damage. I managed to beat Shido with it by the skin of my teeth... Everyone wiped even after Futaba replaced them, MC last one standing, Shido in last form, at last 15 percent of his health, MC has half HP remaining... Used Life Stones for 5 turns while having Rangda out, he literally beat himself to death. I lost my shit when his HP heart finally smashed after it reflected his first attack. God damn it felt good.
>>375527595
why he has fire arms?
>>375516202
Technically Samael was Shadow Shido, you know. The guy you fought on top of the diet building.
I don't even know why, but this dude is my favorite. What does everyone else think of him?
>>375527782
why wouldn't he? justice is not an easy game
>>375527749
His last attack*
>>375528003

yeah but Shido didn't have the cute face sticking it's tongue out

why not?
>>375516631
What demon is this?
>>375528068
>>375528130

>>375528342
Maria/Virgin Mary from SMT Nine.
The wiki has her as appearing in Deep Strange Journey for some reason.

So Maria is in but not Jesus
Are Magi Kings in ..?
>>375527371

>>375526886

>>375523079
I love it when these three are the recipe for fusing Norn.
>>375528767
Doesn't stop you from looking up the image itself nigger.
>>375528953
Good taste.
Terminator is really rad, but I doubt it'll ever show up in a game again.
>>375519460
Having a "correct response" for negotiations is faggotry. Atlus shitting up the place yet again

Besides I'm pretty sure there are atleast a good couple of always fixed answers per game, which are usually more unique to the demon or type of demon.
SMT4 and Apoc still worth getting?
Making my way thru DDS rn after finishing P5.
>>375529749
yeah they are
>>375529749
Yes. They are good games
>>375529749
Yes.
>>375529685
Nocturne had amazing negotiations
>>375529749
My favorites SMT
Apocalypse god aliance is god tier
>>375522124
Beat me to it but Cybele

I hope the next SMT game applies logic to demon conversations, like Persona 5 did. It's disappointing how random it is most of the time in SMT IV, for instance.

>>375530519
>logic to demon conversationsPersona 1 and 2
>>375530519
A middle ground where it's not the same answer every time would be the best.
Like bring back moon phases and if its 4 or less or higher it leads the demon being in a particular mood to change the answer up, just more factors like that.
FUCK YEAH BALDUR
>>375530629
Haven't played those, why didn't SMT follow Persona's example? The randomness can be infuriating at times.
>>375530665
Isn't that how it's calculated in most games anyway? Nobody just has the nerve to remember it all.

The negotiations in IV:A were quite good too. I remember once when I tried to talk to a female demon who was supposedly communicating with the Expanse and didn't pay attention to me. One of the options was to scold her, so I did and she was like "no one ever did that to me", blushed and left. Afterwards I talked to another one of those and it was her saying "hey uh...can I join you?".
I loved it.
Kind of simple but I just love gummy worm snake.

Messiah is an amalgamation of all messianic figures across religions in human history. It's not strictly Jesus. It even says in its profile that it's "a universal figure, appearing in myth around the world." Jesus is just one of many messianic figures that the Persona embodies.

Pleb who's only played Personas 3-5 here, What are some good smt games to jump into?
I've been interested in it for a while now since demons seem to be commonplace in the smt universe and not in some special dungeons only highschoolers can explore.
>>375534750
Nocturne, IV or Strange Journey
>>375534750
>>375534750
Gameplay or story?
For story you should give SMT 2 a spin. It's really good, but the gameplay is very archaic. On that note Soul Hackers is also fun, but has the old style SMT gameplay.
Gameplay, Nocturne, Strange Journey, Raidou 2, DDS1 and 2.
>>375534728
we're here for your waifus, chuck
>>375534750
Nocturne emulates really well on PC and IV/IVA is cool too. Strange Journey and DDS after those. Devil Survivor whenever, it's the most similar to Persona concept wise.
Yeah talking to the demons as what they actually are in their mythology is what drew me to SMT from Persona. They are the best enemy designs in any game ever IMO and I like getting to know them/having full control over their movesets.
>>375535007
>but the gameplay is very archaic. On that note Soul Hackers is also fun, but has the old style SMT gameplay.
What the difference between the new and old gameplay?
Skadi or Sati maybe.
>>375535269
New has press turn, old is based on agility only, and you can have 4 demons alongside you and your partner. In old games you also don't learn magic, and physical skills are in the extra menu instead of the skill menu, just a heads up. iirc in SMT2 the demons don't level up, you fuse and negotiate to get what you get, same for SH.
>>375535269
First person dungeon crawlan mostly, no press turn or equivalent.

Fastest is SMTIVA where she's a level 51 fusable demon so like halfway into the game.
In Strange Journey she's a boss fight about 70% of the way into the game.
In IV she's a boss fight in NG+ so even further.
How does Pixie feel about Demifiend using her as an onahole?

The other archangels come from the classical interpretations of them, Metatron is from Kabbalah, so he's allowed to be more esoteric. The -tron probably influenced a mecha aesthetic too.
Melchizedek is from Gnosticism as well, so any esoteric text is heavy free reign.

>>375539861
I'd say a tie between SMT2 (it's my benchmark for what I consider SMT) and Strange Journey ( I love the sci-fi setting). Although Soul Hackers has by favorite setting because I love Cyberpunk. While I hated SMTIV, I do like SMTIV:A. Also while I didn't count it, I did play Imagine for years so I think it's worth noting as a favorite.

Yuzu's tits are amazing
Shame about the rest of her though
>>375543612
I just never felt really invested in it, the progression was very slow, the story was bland, the menus were hideous, and the fights were very anticlimactic for a lot of the story bosses like the Beldr fight you mentioned, and overall, it just bored me.
>>375543863
Agreed
Weren't it for the text boxes blocking her chest I literally could not play that game.
>>375543612
My main problem with DeSu1 was that there is a ridiculous difficulty spike right at the end of the game for the last fight. Apart from that, I felt that the fights were great and very tense. I hated the Beldr fight the first time, but then decided to take a more agressive approach and it worked. Felt great in the end.
>>375537205
Seriously though, why? I never got why people were so obsessed with STR attacks costing HP. Making them cost a low amount of MP and giving physical attackers smaller MP pools makes WAY more sense and also allows more variety in STR demon stats since they don't all need a large HP pool to be able to even use their moves.
>>375543752
Rei Reiho bestho
>>375544237
Makes MP management less of a chore. I personally don't find it an issue, since you're supposed to be juggling resources constantly.
>>375544237
At that point it just means it's more profitable to go magic and ignore strength/dex. Why waste MP on strength demons when I can exploit weaknesses with magic and rape everything like that. It's poor design.
HP cost is based on your overall HP,, they don't have set costs like magic skills, you don't need high HP pools to use them, except for rare exceptions like Heat Wave in Nocturne and skills like that because those skills need high HP to do good damage. You just needed good strength to make the most out of physical damage for most skills.
Dunno why but I really like Doot Doot
Musical skellingtons are cool I guess?
>>375544639
with affinities in SMT IV, physical oriented demons barely have to pay any MP to use skills

>At that point it just means it's more profitable to go magic and ignore strength/dex.
Except that's really stupid to say about a game with press turn where some demons are weak to phy/gun and only physical attacks can crit and there is support for getting crits to trigger more frequently.
>Why waste MP on strength demons when I can exploit weaknesses with magic and rape everything like that. It's poor design.
Because you shouldn't be able to rape everything with magic and in the only games where STR skills cost MP you can't. There are plenty of demons throughout IV and IVA that resist magic and not phys or are weak to phys. Your strategy makes no sense when you can hold TONS of demons. You would be stupid not be ready for every situation and have both MAG and STR demons.
Furthermore even if being able to rape things with magic was an issue the solution is simple, add more demons who resist/repel/absorb it and more demons weak to physcial. The supposed problem you came up with doesn't exist and even if it did a much better way to fix it would be to add more demons weak to phys, not make physical skills cost HP in some convoluted attempt to magic worse.
>HP cost is based on your overall HP,, they don't have set costs like magic skills, you don't need high HP pools to use them
Yea HP costs are, incoming damage is not though so it doesn't matter against certain enemies and bosses. Especially against certain bosses it's risky to let your HP stay too low which creates situations where you it's not worth the risk to spend HP because then you waste one more turn reviving.
HP costs are just MP costs but your healer pays the MP instead. The new system requires more management on the part of the player, allows greater variety of stats for physical demons and any downsides were fixed by apocalypse where they balanced the costs and mana pools better.

>Except that's really stupid to say about a game with press turn where some demons are weak to phy/gun and only physical attacks can crit and there is support for getting crits to trigger more frequently.
If they're weak to phys you know there's a basic attack button right? That counts as physical damage.
>Because you shouldn't be able to rape everything with magic and in the only games where STR skills cost MP you can't. There are plenty of demons throughout IV and IVA that resist magic and not phys or are weak to phys. Your strategy makes no sense when you can hold TONS of demons. You would be stupid not be ready for every situation and have both MAG and STR demons.
You end up raping most things with magic anyways, there is no reason to use any advanced physical skills, you can beat the whole game relying on only magic.
Making physical skills cost HP instead of MP doesn't make magic worst, it makes it balanced because while physicals can at most, only crit, do more damage than the basic attack skill everything comes with, it's an easier resource to restore compared to MP, because there is an abundance of healing items compared to MP ones.
If they're both tied to MP, magic wins all the time, because they can hit weaknesses, inflict status ailments that turn the tide in battle, compared to physical skills, where physical skills have less benefit.
>Yea HP costs are, incoming damage is not though so it doesn't matter against certain enemies and bosses. Especially against certain bosses it's risky to let your HP stay too low which creates situations where you it's not worth the risk to spend HP because then you waste one more turn reviving.
What are buffs, debuffs, items, etc
The only management the system comes with is "hey hope you have lots of MP restore items, don't bother trying to have physical demons since they don't matter at all."
IVFs fixes were bandages on a bad system, them changing with what they had to work with acknowledges that.
My favorite demon
>>375546628
the basic attack is shit though. most of my demons were physical in both 4 and 4a and I did fine. you have a whole stock of demons to use and switch around during battles to use buffs and debuffs and everything if you don't want your attackers to use mp on them too.

>You end up raping most things with magic anyways, there is no reason to use any advanced physical skills, you can beat the whole game relying on only magic.
That's no different than tons of past SMTs, the change did not make this happen. Honestly dude I don't even want to talk to you about this because you're all over the place contradicting yourself. Here you imply it makes magic better to the point that it can carry you through the game. You literally say "you can beat the whole game relying on magic" as if that's a negative created by this system. Then further down you say:
>Making physical skills cost HP instead of MP doesn't make magic worst, it makes it balanced
If it doesn't make it worse then wouldn't you still be able to beat the whole game with magic? Your complaint with the system is that it makes magic OP then you fully admit reverting to the old system wouldn't nerf magic.

Funny how it is after P5 comes out that /v/ starts having some really good og SMT threads more frequently (and by contrast, some really shitty Persona threads).
It's time.
>>375550154
Eh, I'm ok with it, SMT threads are fun a lot of the time. I just hide the P5 ones.
>>375550154
So exactly the opposite to when IVA came out? Though the scale is on a whole different level I guess.

Throughout all of SMTSJ he's buttering up one of your crewmembers and passively promoting Law. I think the crewmember he butters up literally calls him 'trustworthy' at some point, but it's mostly joking about the way he seems to help you out for "no reason". Like "Gee, this guy definitely has no hidden agendas! What a reliable guy!"

Whitey please leave.
hey guys, I am in on fridey in my 1st DeSu2 playthrough
The story suddenly took a turn that I don't feel like playing it anymore. Besides I only like two characters the MC himself because of silly dialogue choices and smug faces and Otome because I think I have a nurse fetish.
Is it only me or the game gets boring at the end

I mean, as far as I remember he never was actually lying to you about anything or was he?
>>375550958
Nah, they just aren't for everyone. I felt the same about Overclocked but loved Record Breaker.
