you play as a literal satan, and brind apocalypse on world, fucking up angels and shit.
Also includes Dante from DmC.
>>375744019

>>375743859
Nocturne is the Dark Souls of turn based JRPGs
>>375743859
You punch out demons and angels and Dante from DMC is a party member. What's not to love?
>>375744139
You mean trial and error shit gameplay? Beacause, yes it is
Because it's baby's first SMT.
In retrospective it's just ok, it has good turn based combat but.. that's pretty much the only thing it has to offer.
>>375743859
Good atmosphere: aesthetic, OST, demons, NPC's and the dungeons itself's quirky personality
Simple gameplay that's easy to understand and utilized, but still enough challenge to force you to git gud

How does this game not get shit for being that edgy?
>>375744446
It was edgy before being edgy was bad
>>375744446
You don't have to do that though.
>>375744446
Because that sounds fucking awesome.
>>375743859
It's not. Play superior in every way Digital Devil Saga.
>>375744531
>actually wanting a wurld of still

>>375744423
It's the only game in the series that bored me to death other than SMT I. I couldn't even finish it, I think I was at the Pixie Maze part and it was just awful. 40 hours in.
>>375744379
IMO this is the best OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPFORdup_as
>>375744534
The second part is right. No JRPG parties can tank DDS Demifiend's Gaea Rage and survive
But Nocturne is mid-tier dungeon crawler as best
You can make a party full of skeletons and roam the wasteland.
At some point you get to steal Loki's wallet in order to sneak into his shagpad.
>>375744446
there's nothing wrong with being edgy

>no fusion
Sorry senpai.
Should I play nocturne or strange journey as my first smt game?
Why was Dante only in this game?
>>375744802
sj is better, but play nocturne first
Great atmosphere, fun combat even though most of what matters about combat is in the preparation, great soundtrack and an enjoyable story, even though it takes the backseat to everything else in the game. If you want a lot of what make Nocturne good but with a bigger focus on story you can play DDS, so i personally think DDS is one of the worst Megaten games. It's still good though.
>>375744804
Dante is in plenty of games.
>>375744804
It was a trade off. Kaneko did the devil trigger designs for Dante and Virgil.
>>375744802
Unironically Persona 3 or Digital Devil Saga.
>>375744802
probably nocturne.
strange journey is incredible, compared to nocturne, but almost every other smt after uses the Press Turn system, where SJ has the co-op system.
Both are great games, however.
>>375744379
Wish Dante's theme would be used in DMC games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMX09FSyHqs
>>375744776
Who needs fusion when you can become anything.
>>375744804
It was a weird deal where some dudebros at Atlus would design the demons in DMC3.
Dante should have been a mainstay for SMT.
It's a very stylish game that builds hype well
it also has a great buttrock soundtrack
>>375743859
it's like... alright.
but it's no Persona 4, it's no Dragon Quest 8, and it's no Final Fantasy X
it's a Tier under those PS2 JRPGs
>>375744567
Eating people is wrong! We should humanely just kill them!
>>375743859
It isn't,unless you enjoy being lucifers sex toy
>>375744802
They're both perfectly fine choices. I'd say that if you like 80s Sci-fi movies, then go with SJ and if you're either indifferent to them or don't like them, go Nocturne.
>>375744804
He was just the re-release guest character. He is to Nocturne what Marie is to Persona 4 and what Not Yukiko will be to Strange Journey.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhAdOURUPU
>>375745256
It emulates very well, I believe. There's some motion blur when you move and the sound quality isn't great, but that's just how the game is, whether you play it on a PS2 or PS3 or emulate it or whatever.
>>375745382
Nocturne or IV
IV:A is a direct sequel to IV

I totally forgot how fucking tedious reloading for a good skillset was like p3 and p4.

>>375745382
>Futaba
You should start with Devil Survivor 2 or SMTIVA, it would suit your shit taste.
>>375745382
Nocturne or SJ, and play IV before IV: A. It's not the best SMT, but it's still worth playing if you're going to play IV: A
Praise be to *record scratch*!!

>>375745410
Sounds like something out ofPersona 4
Basically, it was the first mainline SMT game to come out in America/Europe and a good first introduction to the series for a lot of people. It had a excellent artstyle and one of the best soundtracks in the series, and the demon fusing was a lot of fun.
I bought it at launch and it is a damn good game. Very outdated if you played more recent SMT games, but still enjoyable.
Nocturne has the best memes.
>>375745382
God. Her way of sitting is really fucking pissing me off. Get your dirty boots out of my couch bitch.
>>375745702
That's IV
>been into SMT due to the art style and whole story of the games
>bought DDS 1 and 2 years ago when I went through my PS2 collecting phase
>tried to play nocturne but couldn't emulate it at the time because of a shit PC
Should I play through DDS or try Nocturne again. Also, should I buy/emulate SJ or wait for the 3DS version?
>>375745137
Dante's role in Nocturne was beyond minimal when compared to Marie and probably discount Yukiko as well.
Maybe they can remake Nocturne too?
>>375745439
Ah, okay, I though Apocalypse was an enhanced re-release.
>>375745537
Way to out yourself as a retarded faggot, I bet you like Ann
Anyways thanks anons, I'll probably download Nocturne and an emulator and start IV or SJ while I wait for that

Go for Nocturne to learn demon fusion
I'm so glad negotiation skills were dropped. It was annoying seeing them again and again during fusions.
>>375744567
Just started this, is pure Strength the best route for Serph like it is in Nocturne? I just finished the Maribel base part and I've been putting everything into Strength and Vitality.
Also when the fuck do I get Gale and Cielo as party members?
>>375745848
>your bitch teacher is a demifiend

>>375745864

>>375745802

DDS and Nocturne are nothing alike apart from the Kaneko artstyle and graphics engine
>>375745864
Because it plays like the old ass games that everyone on /v/ just pretends to have played so they can make post their YHVH memes
>>375745850
>way to out yourself as a retarded faggot
but you're the one who likes futaba
>>375745802
DDS for a more traditional JRPG, Nocturne if you want the pure Demon busting experience.

Sounds more like Raidou to me, but I guess P4 and Raidou 2 sound a little similar anyway.

>>375746131

Serph and Heat have been doing everything and Yukiko is fucking useless outside of heals, that's why I want Gale or Cielo.
>>375746180
>How do i get into SMT?
I don't know? You fucking pick one and start playing?
>>375745864
Personally hated the combat which automatically ruined the dungeon crawling. Rest of the game was good, but that was a deal breaker for me and I had to force myself to finish it.
>>375743859
You punch Satan in his big dumb face.
>>375746229
Nah the only legitimately hard thing in Nocturne if you're familiar with Turn Press is this fucker.
>>375746180
Play smt iv then apocalypse then play nocturne, DeSu or SJ
It's a pure RPG.
The only way you're not going to like this game if you don't know what makes a good RPG (or a video game in general, for that matter).
>>375746360
Gale and Argilla are your best party members in DDS1. Towards the end of the game magic becomes much more useful than physical attacks.
We know! We know the best way to kill humans!
Nothing is more efficient at slaying humans than humans themselves!
>>375746430
Mot did literally nothing wrong. He was the only boss that understood how to play the game.
>>375743859
It's just mediocre.
>>375746180
Name ONE turn based jrpg with combat/mechanics/atmosphere as good as Nocturne, SMT4A or SJ that's not a part of the SMT franchise.
>>375746430
You are out of your mind if you think Mot is more difficult than Puzzle Boy.

>>375745382
For all the "what SMT do I play first?" questions in the thread, here's my vouch for Strange Journey.
Despite the name, it's the most grounded approach to SMT in the whole franchise. Every other game just takes the whole society coming to an end at the hands of demons thing way too well, the SNES games have fun stories but shit dungeons, whilst Nocturne is the philosophy major dropout of the game: fun to hang out with but you need to be able to tolerate bullshit.
In SJ you take a squad of professionals lead by Hal 9000 driving the Mako and fuck shit up. Characters feel natural, key themes from the series are explored well and each dungeon offers a new mechanic that keeps it fresh and provide a challenge without becoming tedious to overcome.
Despite the name, Strange Journey is the most normal feeling of the lot and is the best to jump into.
>No Nocturne costume/ost pack in Persona 5
trash
>SMT has only had 1 or 2 chaos gals
They really need to step up the waifu game
>>375746737
Dark Souls is the Persona of Megami Tensei
>>375746518
DSJ better get localized or I'm going to be very sad.
>SMT
>Hard
Can we stop perpetuating this meme? Only post FFV kids think SMT is hard. Remember, even dragon Quest fags, the casual JRPG players of japan, know buffs and debuffs are important and that's all you need for SMT besides finding the enemy's weakness
>Want to play SMT: SJ since goyim tells me the game is good

Post rare Walters.
>>375746507
Western RPG includes role playing, which means in depth world-building, character-building, and dynamic plot
Japanese RPGs usually includes lots of character interaction and standard story development
Nocturne is pure dungeon crawling with a simplistic story and character developed purely to represent the choices you make at the end. So no

>>375747068
You fight Samael on top the Diet Building in P5 as well.
>>375746861
Remake is in the making so you might as well wait and play other smt games in the mean time.
>>375745864
Because everyone else is an entry level scrub who hasn't played it.

This and pixie being the first demon you recruit. That started being a think after nocturne then again in SJ and in the DeSu games and now P5. I don't remeber pixie being the first demon you even see in SMT 1 2 or KMT 1/2.
>>375747463
That ain't happening and you know it.

Because edgy has nothing to do with story elements and visual design, and everything to do with tone.

The difference between an SMT women giving a PersonaChad a blowjob is the fact that during the act, they are constantly salivating at the idea of taking such a big cock in their mouths. This never happens with a SMtbeta, the mouth is dry and her motions repetitive and wanting to get it over with. This is why SMT girl on SMT boi blowjobs rely on suction while PersonaChad ones are more slippery, sloppy and primal.

I downloaded this game and played it on an emulator. Got to the Amala Network before I deleted it because it was too boring.
Press Turn is a shit battle system. Why should critical hits be rewarded with MORE turns? It makes no sense, as critical hits ARE already a reward by themselves. Adding an extra reward to them is just inbalanced crap, especially when it's completely random.
Also I didn't like the MC. Too much teenager power fantasy. I don't find it believable that a teenager living a typical normie life can adapt so easily to a post-apocalyptic setting and act all badass around it.
Bad game.

This is in all RPGs, if you were one of those fuckers that were going "OH Shido was so EASY on 5, so pathetic" but fought the guy at level 85 with Metatron and the 4 great angels, you're a dick.
Nocturne is supposed to take you for a challenge, not for you to spend 600hrs leveling up to have an easy time.
>trial and error
This is more bullshit than anything, your character stats are important but you can easily beat the game by Min/Maxing, balanced or anything you want.
Now granted, I know a lot of people are going for Nocturne after P5 or 4 popped them into SMT, but don't go blaming the game for your inability to play an RPG that doesn't hold your hand every 5 minutes.
>>375747658

>Hey Demifiend wants me to drain all your mp and instant wipe your team
>>375757732

Smt1 took me a bit to actually play through too.
>>375745382
Start with Devil Survivor. It feels more like a Persona game than any of the others. From there, either IV or Strange Journey. IVA is a sequel to IV, so only play it if you like IV. I think IV and IVA are great, but /v/ disagrees. Nocturne should only be played if you like IV or if you like PS2 era RPG's. Aging mechanics can make games that were great at the time feel overhyped.
>>375757461
It is Preta, he was the demon who killed some dude I just recommended SMT 1 to a friend who wanted a SMT game on the go (he is playing dds1 at home) But I did not know only pixie is recruiting in the first area. Cool beans
>>375757732
But SMT2 is the best SMT...
>>375746861
what flashcard fag saves fine on mine
>>375743859
it has better music than persona 3?
>>375758147
sadly no
>>375745864
I played it and thought it was great. Got it for free with that SMTIV and FE:Awakening deal.
>>375746031
Nah fuck you SMT 1 and 2 are good games only problem is that the combat is a bit slow but just fast foward that shit and you are good to go
>>375745864
Because it didn't age well.
>>375758227
Nocturne has the best battle themes in the franchise, but I gotta say that not all of the area themes hold up
>>375758227
Different types. I prefer most of Nocturne's battle theme though

>>375753963

>>375758006
I actually thought SMT was worse in the encounter rate post Ginza. 2 had more safe spaces.
I also fucking hated the goddamn last dungeon on my neutralfag run because the game wanted me to run all the way from top to bottom in that shithole designed by lawfags most retarded architects. I even had Estoma and it took for-fucking-ever to get from point A to point B in that clusterfuck of a building. Are all the actual building designers dead in SMT? Did they just find one guy who said he could do it and have him build the whole fucking thing?
I like SMT2 more on the whole, though, so it might be that me enjoying everything more made some of the bullshit more tolerable. Backtracking is a big problem in it, yeah.
>>375758091
It's tied with SH for me as my favorite if they both probably aren't technically the best overall.

SMT1 & 2 have some of the most radical settings and atmosphere of old school JRPGs.
Do not try playing them without the convenience of x10 emulator speed and a walkthrough though. They will still be rewarding but you'll be glad if you know where to go and can mash autobattle on the way there.
How would you guys rate the SMT games? Also does anyone have that templete photo used to describe ones feeling with a game and each game in the series? One of them was "Our God is an awesome god" and another was, with rainbows gushing our "Thank you god this is fucking perfect"?

Is the fusion in nocturne like the fusion in persona 3?
I played smt 4 first. Trying to fuse in persona 3 after using 4's fusion system made me hate life.
>>375763781
yes
>>375763329
the actual dungeons don't have level design. they're just branching corridors that seem randomly generated.
>>375763781
Yep so rev up those rerolls to get what you want. On the bright side, the -kaja and -unda buffs and debuffs affect every target so there are no "ma" versions to worry about, just stronger versions that cost more SP to lay down for a faster layered effect like Fog Breath being two sukundas on every enemy in one turn.
>>375763956
The dungeons follow the same rules as any other dungeon crawler, but they've even got more to them in the form of puzzles and events popping up. It helps that the god-level art direction makes it very immersive.
>>375763781
Say what you will about Persona 4 Golden, adding that new fusion mechanic was the best thing to happen to the series in a decade.
>>375759854

>>375765179
>best thing to happen to the series in a decade.
Too bad P4G is the worst thing to ever happen to the Megami Tensei franchise.
>>375760806
My complain is that the MC is just a kid who had a normal, non-fantastic life before the events of the game, and when all the magic begins, instead of being shocked with all the new stuff he's like "oh okay now I WANT POWER AND KILL GOD". Such mindset would've been considered autistic in human Tokyo.
Imagine an effeminate high schooler teen who probably never experienced the atrocities of life and adulthood coming up to you and saying "NEITHER HUMAN NOR DEVIL, ALL BENDS TO MUH WILL" while doing a cool pose. That's how I see Demi-fiend.
>>375765334
Then it's a good thing persona isn't megami tensei.

>>375769404
Another pro tip, give him null phys, give any and all demons null/repeal or drain phys to make the Stephen boss fight alot easier. He is loads of fun 2nd hardest boss fight in all of SMT and fighting together with Hero, Aleph, Demi-fiend and Flynn is really fucking cool.
