Dagda wanted to help humanity, he just believed that to get rid of YHVH for good, the current universe had to be destroyed and everything else with it to create a new one where humanity can live without over relying on gods for power. Nozomi was just lucky to have Tokyo-chan on her side, and won't send messiahs to take down her fairy kingdom.

There are plenty of reasons to side with Dagda. He's pretty much 100% justified.
>>375778653
Wasn't it Stephen, the neutral representative in the game who sent humanity to their deaths in Massacre to test Nanashi's resolve? There's no way that Skins and Fujwara could've known unless someone told them.

>>375779501
>Dagda wanted to help humanity
Stopped reading after that. Dagda wanted to help humanity just as much as Krishna did, but guess what, they're solution doesn't solve shit really and the only big change is that people die. Dagda's choice just replaces one Tyrannical ruler (YHVH) with another (Nanashi). The path is made with good intentions but it's still a bad choice. Stephen even tells the protag that he'll have to lead other protagonists to this universe to deal with him. You know, like how he leads Nanashi into YHVH's world to kill him if you choose the other route? Nanashi literally becomes YHVH's replacement and genocides anyone who doesn't agree with him, which he did. Like YHVH, HE chooses what's right because HE has the power to force it on others, regardless of what the masses want. I don't know how much more I can emphasis the fact that Nanashi becomes an alternate YHVH in this route and the game blatantly beats you over the head with this fact.
>>375779759
Stephen clearly didn't agree with Nanashi's choice, so he was giving humanity one last chance to stop them. Of course he knew it would end that way but it was still an option given to them.

Stephen is true neutral, he isn't biased and just presents things as they are.
>Stephen even tells the protag that he'll have to lead other protagonists to this universe to deal with him.
The Goddess is looking for Messiahs, Stephen isn't doing shit. He just tells Nanashi he's a fucking super being now that has the ability to enter the conflict regarding other universes just like himself and there will be those that oppose him.

But was he redpilled? Yes.
>>375780330
Its just like Krishna said, "you have a different view on death". Yes everyone in the old universe died but they were all reborn in the new universe.

Nanashi recreates humanity like YHVH has done many times. The game says nothing about reviving old friends. That was the whole point of choosing one partner. The fact that you have flynn and the waifu (or dude) you chose as mindless puppet allies who agree with everything you say with you proves how much he is like YHVH. They are no different than YHVH's angels.
>>375784195
The friends were used to build the new universe but the rest of humanity has been reborn and are no longer prisoners to YHVH and have their true potential unlocked. It has never been said that you'd turn everyone into mindless slaves worshiping you 24/7. Dadga only made Flynn and your chosen goddess be your puppets was because he knew they would both resist and wouldn't go with your route on their free will since they're bondsfags.

Again, you're missing the whole point. Nanashi is just another self-righteous replacement for YHVH. It's the whole reason why Stephen flat out tells you you're going to have to fight other messiahs who he'll transport into your universe to stop you. There is nothing about their true potential being unlocked. All they did was mass genocide humanity and have Nanashi create a new one, with dagda claiming he solved the problem. You also seem to miss the whole thing the entire game, especially the DLC, was trying to beat the player over the head with. No route the right choice, and not because of some morally grey BS. They aren't the right choice because NOTHING solves the whole YHVH problem, ever.
White Choice: Erase humanity, YHVH still lives in his own protected universe to just make another gen of humans and start the shit all over again.
Chaos: Wars, same shit, diff people. Weak people will pray for a savior, thus creating another YHVH to combat the demons.
Law: YHVH's temporary peace until the inevitable corruption of a single person occurs and resets the game. This will always happen. YHVH cannot simply make a humanity that cannot think for themselves because then they will not truly observe. This means he will never be able to abuse the Axiom with them. So he's FORCED to create a humanity that can be corrupted, only able to trick them.
Neutral: Only temporary peace. You cannot change ALL of humanity and so long as some people suffer at any point in the world, they will always wish for someone to solve their problems. The bad people will always create demons, etc.
>>375786098
POO
>>375786486
Krishna: Dude! Let's nuke ourselves and turn everyone into weird sold things. This doesn't stop YHVH from just creating another humanity since Krishna and Dagda have no idea how the Axiom works and what can actually stop him. This is proven when Dagda realizes that YHVH can only be harmed by observing and denying his divinity during the actual fight.
Dagda: Just replaces one YHVH with another. If Nanashi is smart he'll create a humanity of pawns who can't think for himself and not risk them revolving or creating other gods/demons, but it puts him at risk when other protags from other universes come to stop him. He will not have the axiom clause to make him immortal since he doesn't have humans believing he is. If he chooses to make a humanity with free will, it just means they'll make demons and gods again, causing another war.
There is no solution in the SMT universe because every result just resets the clock for the inevitable. The only true way to make a change is to make contact with the Axiom itself but even Stephen doesn't know how to do that, which is why he keeps going to other universes and guiding protags, in hopes that they ascend themselves. Stephen's goal is the end this endless paradox and help ascend a humanity that TRULY does not need demons or gods. A humanity that will not yearn for their existence and ultimately stop their creation for good. Nanashi becoming YHVH does not solve this problem.

New Odin's pretty mediocre. Odin designs include
>gold and blue sentai hero (with a spear and crow so you know it's Odin and not any number of other mythological figures; seriously it's so tenuously Odin)
>naked purple man with eyepatch, cape and helmet (surprise surprise, one design of Loki is nearly the same shit)
>a bearded, horned helmeted eyepatched man with a cloak who is made of PURE FUCKING KNOWLEDGE
The last comes the closest to being a good Odin but naturally it's the one that never gets rendered in 3D.
I think Doi is pretty good but he can be very hit-and-miss. It hurts reading his design notes on Dagda because he pretty much admits he had to ignore 4/5ths of Dagda's actual mythology to make his role in the game work; he had these designs with fat Dagda that would fit in perfectly with any other mainline SMT, but ended up with skeltal edgeman.

>White Choice: Erase humanity, YHVH still lives in his own protected universe to just make another gen of humans and start the shit all over again.

http://eirikrjs.blogspot.com.au/2016/08/apocalypse-artbook.html#more
>>375788965
No, I call it the only design that comes close to being good. It's got a better connection to Odin than "blue and gold man". It at least incorporates the idea of Odin being wise and the sacrifices he makes for knowledge by removing his body and leaving a cloak full of runes (Odin traded his eye for a drink of water from a well that granted knowledge, or some shit).
>>375788889
It's not head canon. The game indirectly explains some of this in the Stephen DLC, as well as putting two and two together. For example, the white erase everything in the universe but YHVH lives in his own protected universe, outside of the protagonists. We're only able to even get there Stephen, someone who is known to travel to other universes was able to help us get there. As for the krishna and Dagda thing, didn't I literally just point out an instance in the game where Dagda is surprised that human observation is what is needed to kill YHVH mid fight? Are you shitposting or just retarded?
YHVH is the original avatar of the Axiom, and therefore one of the very first beings in existence. The only people who know of the Axiom is YHVH (who remains intentionally ignorant of it) and Stephen, as well as a few others who have actually ascended past materiel form and can travel through other timelines at will. The game's explain this, the DLC flat out tells you this, and the entire series indirectly explains this in conversations that reference these characters or their existence. The closest thing to the Axiom Dagda knew about is that somehow people believing in YHVH is what continued to recreate him, and therefore he had to genocide their entire race in hopes of creating a new one with no knowledge of him. The issue here though is that it just makes Nanashi the new YHVH to bend humanity to his will if he so chooses.

It's fitting. Phones are so pervasive in modern society that if you were gonna make something that let you summon demons, you'd make it iOS and Android compatible.
I mean, shit, in SMT1 there's the expectation that barely anyone outside of nerds had laptops so even with Stephen sending the program out to everyone, so few people would have a practical way of using it. Imagine the poor fuckers with a desktop computer, or at the library using a book database computer to try handle demons. SMT1 Hero is part of a tiny venn diagram of "knows how to use computers", "downloads suspicious shit" and "has a reasonably portable computer".
Devil Survivor's setting is "Tokyo on lockdown" like the start of SMT1, it might as well be "what if these games took place in the digital age".
>>375778251
>>375778413
>Nozomi is bad meme
So does SMT have a connected canon story or are they all individual games?

But can you crush rocks with your bare hands?
>>375791069
Yes. A lot of the beginning threads about the reveal were talking about "why isn't she in a Demonica?"
I think reception here wouldn't have been as bad if she was shown to be in a Demonica suit.
>>375778410
I just want an actual Polytheism route after IVA cucked me by saying we'd have a "deep neutral" route around its announcement but then we only have Peace/Anarchy
I would have loved a Divine Powers route.
>>375791043
The SMT universe is better off as one of those "don't worry about it" kinds of things, like the Zelda timeline.
>>375791043
None are connected unless directed stated like SMT I to II.
>>375791229
Reminder Peace route is the only route to go in Apocalypse.
>>375791043
Most games are pretty separate from one another, just keeping references. The timeline is total nonsense and almost impossible to follow as well.
Games like Raidou, DDS, SMT4 don't follow this, the other games are pretty much direct sequels. Generally most games with 2 titles should be played together, except Devil Survivor for some reason.
>>375791176
I forget, did none of the sectors have breathable atmospheres suitable for humans or did they just keep them on out of habit of being in an alien world
>>375791069
I know I would, shit makes no sense it is really of putting. That and IV:A females are very very tropy.
>>375791270
Pretty sure Raidou, depending if he fails or not, leds to SMT if... or SMT 1 as scene in the ending scene of the first game. Also Satan mentions Aleph, another who fought *record scratch* but DDS and SMT 2, I can't see how they are related
>>375787337
>blaming Raidou
Over the line son
>>375791023
>meme
nah.
>>375791069
That's basically what Jack's Squad are already. I think Alex's whole thing is going to be she's from a 'previous humanity', since the Schwarz comes around whenever Earth's life gets too destructive.
If her outfit was more explicitly "alt!universe Demonica" it'd be easier to swallow. Doi kinda halfheartedly gives her some abstract pulpy sci-fi elements with the drill-laser gun but then she's just in a skintight outfit with a bizarre collared cape. It'd fit better with the whole sci-fi bend of the game as well.
>>375791297
From what I remember, they stay in their suits most of the time unless they got transformed (Zelenin and Jimenez), it's been a while, but when you encounter other strike team members in the Schwarletz they're in the Demonica at all times.
>>375777176
Too bad he wasn't at least DLC for P5. He's cool.
Hell, why didn't Joker summon THIS Satan instead of Satanael?
>>375791297
They needed the suits in order to even walk in the sectors .
>>375791043
Well it's been established definitively in IVA that every ending in every game is its own alternate, canon universe. if Nanashi were to decline Dagda's offer at the start of IVA it leads into the normal, Neutral route finishing as it should in IV.
So really the timeline is
>YHVH makes universes to worship him and goes insane with power
>Great Will is like nah fuck you
>creates "messiahs" made to take him out (SMT1 Hero, Aleph, etc)
>you kill him I guess
>>375791043
Some are connected like how Majora's Mask is explicitly connected to OoT, but it's mostly just the demons who stay the same. Big players like Lucifer always have some agenda but usually demons are just being demons.
>>375791508
Because Satanael is the gnostic equivalent of Satan and as per SMT rules, it makes them entirely different entities.
Just as Belberith is made of several different versions of Ba'al. Bael, Ba'al and Belphegor (Ba'al Pegor)
Just started Nocturne on hard for the first time. What am I in for? What stat should I pump early on?
>>375791508
Because the Satanael he summoned gave free will to humanity during his rebellion. Fits the theme of the game far better.

Included in a Persona 2 guide or something. Just a fun image.
>>375792108
I usually use buffs in persona since theyre pretty good, so once I get some I'll be all over it. Sure I wont need luck or vit? Im assuming luck is crits and demon talks, and right out the gate demons are doin crazy numbers on me.
>>375792198True Demon Path gives you Freikugal, the strongest Physical skill in the game which is also Almighty. Pierce is required for the few things that have Almighty Resist
>>375791508
Sataneal is more lucifer then Satan
>>375791712
boost strength
Buff and Debuffs are important
If you're using an emulator don't be afraid to use save states to save having to walk long distances after dying
Don't be a bitch and overlevel to beat bosses.
>>375792061
Peace on the other hand.
What's the best game to start with to get into SMT?
>>375792329
You are a stupid nigger.
>>375792198
Pierce is given on TDE.
Freikugal is from a magatama you buy way later on.
Hope you enjoy triple the cost of items, including Magatama
>>375792351
Satan, Lucifer, Helel, Satanael, there are fucking dozens of names for an entity that may as well be the same damn thing. Just go with it.
>>375792462
>triple the cost of items
Who thought this was a good idea?
>>375792410
Digital Devil Saga
Should I wait for Deep or should I just play the original?
>>375792464
No you fuck wit
Satan is God's Judge
Lucifer is the fallen angel
In Catholicism they do not make the distinction but in some religions do, hence why Satan is a lawfag and lucy is chaos. Helel is Lucy before the fal and Sataneal is the dude who told the Demiurge to fuck off.
>>375792513
3x the price ruins Nocturne hard. Its fun but fuck that noise
>>375792538
Play the original, they'll just fuck up the original story with Deep.
>>375792606
Your explanation is going to fall on deaf ears.
Satanael is also considered to be the Demiurge in some Gnostic teachings, it seems they went for the 2 son interpretation for P5, so somewhat works thankfully.
>>375792538
I don't think we have enough information about DSJ to say anything yet.
>>375792141
Yeah I meant more like the "lore"/history of the religion not the rules and tenets. I could sit and study that shit all day long since it's so interesting if an actual job like that even existed.
>>375792513
>>375792606
>Who thought this was a good idea?
it encourages the player to make choices, which is one of the cornerstones in nocturnes design
stuff like "do I sell this rare item to buy a magatama or do I save it to bail me out of a potential bad spot later" "do I roll with this demon that isn't as good at fighting but has skills that can get you lots of money", stuff like that
if you don't bother with stuff like this you'll general only have enough macca for one magatama at each new store and have to come back for the others, again meaning you have to choose which is the most valuable right now instead of just getting everything and not having to think at all
>>375792697
>they'll just fuck up the original story with Deep.
If anything adding Yukiko will make it better.
>>375791069
I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised if she ends up being Lilith
SON OF MAN
>>375776154
Doesn't TMS play like a mixture of SJ and DDS?
>>375788818
IV:A Odin's design is good, just not a good Odin design
>>375792538
There's little information on Deep, so that's a impossible question to answer.
any reason why Greek gods haven't been touched a lot in SMT?
So what's your excuse for being a lawfag?
How viable is it to keep low level personas in your party in nocturne? I always kept pixie since shes usually the first demon you get in persona and shes a qt, will it gimp me later on?
>>375793129
No one wants to let Zeus near the demon waifus.
>>375793170
>low level personas
>nocturne
>>375793170
In SMT they're demons, not personae. Two different things.
You can keep Pixie as is or fuse her, just maek sure not to kick her out or sacrifice fuse her. Whatever she gets fused in will always be in your first slot.
>>375793229
please no bully, its my first smt game. Its hard to shake the habit.
>>375793170
>low level personas
>>375793170
First, call them demons, and secondly, yeah it will gimp you a lot because they level up very slow, only learn skills and evolve up to some point and until mid game it's better to replace them with better ones most of the time
>>375793256
>>375793320
all right I'll keep her as long as I can, theres nothing like skill cards in smt is there?
>>375793265
Hearing that makes me want to play it, but I sold my Wii U a long time ago and I really don't think I should subject myself to the story just to see if the gameplay is fun.
>>375793048
It's SMT x FE but it's actually Persona x FE Awakening
>>375793129
Becauae generally non jap non judeochristian entities have no rolea in the story. The polytheistic alliance was a first. The only other times I can think of was okuninushi challenging yvhvs messiah in devil survivor and ambassador thorman
>>375793170
Got to keep fusing them. If you really want a skill they'll learn, then you can justify holding onto them a bit longer, but grinding them up to higher levels will have little effect and take forever.
>>375793378
No. You can use Mitama to give certain skills though
>>375792409
Is clearly stated to be a temporary solution at best with Nanashi and his friends clearly at risk of suffering for eternity
>>375793394
I'm not seeing how it's Persona, just read up on the battle system and it seems like it has Demon co-op from SJ and fixed parties similar to what DDS had.
How is it like Persona at all?
>>375793378
No. Also you need to keep rerolling fusion for certain skills, can't pick and choose.
>>375793470
Speaking of Nanashi can we all finally agree that he is the strongest SMT protagonist to date? Aleph is the only one who could give him a run for his money.
>>375793476
they literally have personas but they're called Mirages.
>You may either annihilate Jack's squad or annihilate the demons
I'm a neutral fag, what do? I have to make an actual choice, don't I? is this where the endings change?
>>375793461
>>375793496
fug, I know already Im going to miss persona fusion.
>>375793476
It's a meme he's using to mock the story and setting.
Gameplay is Demon Co-op without alignments, new skills are learned from weapons which are crafted with drops from enemies. The upgrades to weapons is actually very linear and doesn't offer much variability, that's my biggest disappointment.
>>375793170
there are a couple demons that are worth keeping around for a while, mainly ones that evolve or that have a really useful bodytype for conversation skills but for the most part no
>>375793137
SMTV has new odin as the front man so maybe?
>>375793532
Demifiend was outright confirmed to be way fucking stronger than any of them. It's no contest.
>>375793398
Hindu and Egyptian deities get a lot of exposure as mid to high-level demons
and guys like Loki and Thor get a role in the story here and there
I guess what makes IV:A good is that non-Christian deities finally got bigger roles, hope it becomes the new standard and we see SMTV is about Ragnarök
>>375793591
Have you only played 5? 3 and 4 had archaic fusion as well.
>>375793532
Nanashi IS YHVH. Not even Aleph kills YHVH permanently and he's probably dying gruesomely as this is typed
>>375793476
That poster is just an idiot. You never step foot once in a highschool.
Out of all the mainline SMT protags, who wins in a knock-down-drag-out fight? Demifiend is the strongest physically I think, but I'm not sure if they're comparable in other ways.
>>375792697
>>375792714
>>375793085
Alright thanks. I'll just find the original
>>375793591
3 and 4 pre-Golden had that kind of fusion as well. It's not as bad as you think unless you really really wanna mimaxlike i did
It's fine overall.
>>375793662
I mean I get him. I think the ports of 3 and 4 let you pick your skills too, as do titles like SMT IV and IVA.
being able to pick what skills get inherited is way easier than backing in an out until you get what you want.
>>375793790
Oh yeah I wasn't defending that sort of fusion because it sucks just seemed like something odd to be surprised at.
Nocturne desperately needs a remaster.
>>375792012
I picked two of my subjects in high school (ancient history and religious studies) because I was really into Persona 4 at the time. I'm glad I picked them and I'm glad I got deeper into the MegaTen franchise as a whole. It's good shit.
>mfw I had no problem with the Shinto unit when everyone else had to come up with a mnemonic to remember whether Izanagi was the man or the woman
>>375793662
I played 3 twice, P4G, and P5, im just saying choosing skills is way more convenient.
Some of you chaos guys are cool.
Don't go to shinjuku tomorrow.
>>375792189
He underestimated the labyrinth.
>>375793729
If we're talking mainline only
Nanashi>aleph>demi fiend=flynn>Hero>Spess muhrine
>Ishtar in Megaten is usually portrayed as a good goddess and is one of YHVH's unfortunate victims.
>When in actual mythology she was a huge bitch.
>>375793831
>Nocturne Remake
>Persona 5 style models
>an actually not-shitty camera
Throw in some stuff like Kouha/Eiga spells for Light/Dark and we're good.
>>375793631
>can't even defeat Lucifer
He's one of the weakest and I don't get this Demi-fiend is strong meme. He would be demolished by Aleph, Flynn or Nanashi.
>>375793865
You guys are alright, come to school tomorrow. I did something cool in computer class, I think you guys'll like it.
>>375793889
kek
>>375775489
Fuck off bitch you look like you belong in Persona.
Leave it to me.
>>375793946
One of these days I'm gonna get around to watching the damn OVA.
Maybe after I finish Raidou.
>>375793865
was Chaos hero actually designed to look like a school shooter on purpose
>>375793928
Also scrap the White Temple and last part of Tower of Kagutsuchi because random teleport puzzles like those are complete crap and just flat out bad design.
>>375793865
>you recruit him when hes being picked om by a bunch of thugs
>has a mahcine gun on him
>doesnt use it and has you bail him out anyway
>dude strongest survive lmao
>>375790589
remember how he said the Old Gods such as himself have lost influence and power? I like to think that is what Dagda would have looked like if he was still top shit
>>375793986
Don't forget to watch the Tokyo Revelations OVA as well. It's equally 'good'.BLOOM AND FALL, FALL AND BLOOM
>>375793941
if we're going by sheer individual strength, Demifiend blows them all out of the water. All of the rest have to rely on demons, especially Flynn.
>>375793941
>I don't get this Demi-fiend is strong meme.
Also can we expect Nanashi super boss in SMTV?
>>375794059
I LET THE DEMONS OUT KOJIRO
>>375793946
>if /r9k/ could summon demons
>>375794003
it's funny that this game was made pre-Columbine because he really embodies the school shooter stereotype. Weak loser that just happens to be carrying around a submachine gun when you first meet him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vUOaNhEy6M
All I could find was the dub anyone got the sub?
>>375794003
92 was too early for school shooter aesthetic.
He's pure late 80s early 90s punk
>>375794159
The dub is glorious senpai
>>375793941
The lucifer of Nanashi's universe and the lucifer from nocturne's universe are two different beings. Also, Demifiend has been confirmed as the strongest in many instances, one of which being that he literally nulls everything but 1 in the DLC where Nanashi fights along side him, compared to you and the other protags on your team that null 2-3 at most.
>>375793946
>yeah dude you can tentacle rape my teacher
>not my waifu though
Nakajima deserved everything that happened to him. Cerberus was too goos for him
>>375793941
Isn't he the main damage dealer in SMT Apocalypse's DLC? He's a pretty big baller against Stephen while everyone else is just helping him pump through hits.
>>375794085
What would be a good team for Nanashi as a hidden boss? You know, besides Sphinx because Imposing Stance spam is a given
>>375794221
>kills his bullies
>haha guess I have to kill my teacher too
Why
>>375794203
he also does a fucking shitload of damage on his own, where people like Flynn are reduced to being the team's Isabeau. Support bitch.
>>375775489
I fucking love Strange Journey as it was my foray into SMT, but the devastation it brings upon the supposed fandom is hilarious. Is this just the most vocal part of the fanbase or is this really how these people think? That because they like SMT, it puts them somehow 'above' the average JRPG player? This is how people who liked Death Note in high school come off to me.
>>375794083
>All of the rest have to rely on demons, especially Flynn
? He does too. Doomguy can beat his optional boss all by himself.
>>375794159
The dub is fine, honestly. It's got some funny lines in it (President Ose is glorious). Fun fact, the script for the dub was written by Baofu's voice actor in P2.
>>375794221
Dumbass should've had better coding. He never specified an end condition for Loki's summoning.
>>375794235
SMT1 and Aleph are just regular guys with a comp. Flynn can learn magic, at least. Demi-fiend's the strongest protagonist in the sense he can go hand to hand with demons because he's one himself.
>>375793865
>>375794003
I'm still mad he took my best chaos demon and turned into a shitty ninja looking thing.
>>375794294
>it puts them somehow 'above' the average JRPG player
Nah, just the average Persona player :^)
>>375794294
Its called a shitpost anon. Sont take it so serious
>>375794351
Aleph is an artificially made messiah, so above a regular dude at the very least.
>>375794085
Is there any reason why Demi-Fiend was given those demons? Pixie is a given since she's the first you get.
>>375794351
Aleph is literally Jesus.
If you have not beaten stephen on War you have not really kicked his ass
He does not do crack code on normal and final is meant to be played on war anyways
>>375794392
>took my Lilim
Unforgivable.
>>375794392
Bad picture bud
>>375794425
Probably because this is the most annoying demon in the whole series.
>>375794436
What about Apocalypse?
>>375794294
I think SMT fans are overly cynical like most Dark Souls fans. So it's easy to look at something like OP's pic and without further information assume the very worst. SMT has some strong stylistic choices and people who gravitate towards the series tend to place a lot of value on those choices.
Basically niche fanbase having divisive opinions about their mostly niche franchise.
>>375794396
but they do the same to any SMT spin-off
>>375794092
Literally several of MegaTen's plot
>If
>Tokyo Revelation
>P4
>Nocturne (Isamu)
>>375776154
>painted nails
#FE fags WILL defend this.
>>375794425
They were pretty stronk duders, with the other two lady demons being very good all around support/magic damage dealers.
>>375794281
>>375794235
It feels like the people who make claims like Nanashi being the strongest because he beat YHVH have only played IV and IVA or just didn't learn shit throughout the series, especially when they compare two different Lucifer. It's much worse when these people play the plot dumb DLC that is Stephen's and still don't understand this. I mean, Stephen flat out tells you that they're all going to have to fight their YHVH (except Flynn, for now) of their own universe. Then there's Dagda's route where Stephen tells you he has to bring Messiah's from other universes to deal with you eventually.
>>375794585
That's what makes the plots so good
>>375794517
Do you think he painted his nails black with sharpies like /thatkid/
>>375794564
You are the true Shin Megami Tensaâ„¢ then
>>375794638
Well you aren't wrong there. They're equal to Persona 3 and 4 fags at this point as well, since SMTIV and IVF had Persona influence to appeal to more people, so it would sell more.
>>375794425
To me it helped symbolize that you're nothing special, and just caught him at a moment where he doesn't even have his best demons. They're all middling demons that arent hard to find or fuse. That coupled with the normal ass nocturne theme really helped illustrate that you're nothing to him.
Persona should have SMT characters as DLC bosses.
Imagine being able to fight the 4 Messiahs, that'd be cool as fuck.
>>375778251
>people are still mad because "muh persona boogeyman"
>>375794570
The parallel is there I guess. Especially when fans of either are very proud of how 'hardcore' their game isto the point they need to mention it ad nauseum, not as bad on /v/ but almost anywhere else it's a shitshow, even with people I know in person
>>375794815
What would be something close to his ultimate party then. Aside from his Pixie waifu I can only think of Trumpeter (being the last Fiend)
>>375794879
I'm happy with the SMT DLC we got,even if it was $7.
>>375794420
>>375794429
Fair enough. He's a trained gladiator too (which I forgot since I've played very little of SMT2 compared to the other mainline entries).
>>375794815
The entire boss fight is "you're that one group of enemies that caused you to game over one time". Even Demi's death message is basically a response to the game over message of Nocturne.
>The comfort of death will come for men and demons alike... by the guidance of the Great Will
>"Death's vastness holds no peace. I come at the end of the long road. Neither human, nor devil... all bends to my will."
>you game over'd son LOL
>fuck that i'm reloading my save, that was bullshit
>>375794994
>tfw no Embryon outfit DLC
>>375794968
Vishnu Shiva Beelzebub or Metatron
Usually Metatron ends up being more support, so it'll be Vishnu Shiva Beelzebub possibly.
>>375794879
Would be funny since even the weakest protagonist, let alone most of the early game demon's of SMT are leagues more powerful than the Persona chars. The only people who really stand a chance are Nyx (moon nuke), Nyar and phil. Most of the endgame bosses in SMT games are stronger than the velvet room attendances.
>>375794879
Can you find a way around tanking 10000 damage Gaea Rage like in DDS in P5?
so I'm playing IVA right now, and while the routes in IV were pretty obvious (agree with Jonathan = Law, agree with Walter = Chaos) but so far I've only been with Asahi. are the routes in this game dictated like this?
>Be nice to your childhood friend/surrogate sister = Peace
>be a fucking dick to her = Anarchy
>>375795079
>TFW we could've had Joker as Serph and Ryuji as Cielo but Atlus didn't do DDS DLC
>>375795136
>not Ryuji as Heat
They're both big hotheads.
Is the SMTIV manga canon?
>>375780243
i want to penetrate her cervix
>>375794638
We actually play as Aleph and Nanashi and win against YHVH. Yet Demi-fiend never goes against YHVH in his game and the game never states whether he won against the Great Will.
>>375795102
>are the routes in this game dictated like this?
Nope. You're entire cast is neutral. Lucifer is Chaos, Merkebah is Law, and Dagda is anarchy. It's one of the reasons why so many SMT fans feel this game was shit. There is no real route lock since you literally get to choose to side with the 4 when the time happens.
>>375794879
>it turns into a dance off
>>375795079
Embryon outfits would have been fucking great especially if we got the music too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DggORvVxEPs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCuOjfyUHnA
since 2's is more 'active' I guess I'd prefer that.
>>375795181
Fuck that would've been cool if they had the P5 characters turn into the demons of the DDS cast.
>>375795102
Apocalypse's route split is just one choice near the end of the game and you don't have to worry about a hidden point total.
>>375795189
Flynn is basically a ghost/hallucination in it so probably not
>>375795102
Being nice or not doesn't really matter for the routes, but you lose your items if you have been nice to your party and pick Massacre IIRC.
>>375795079
Cielo was so much better than he deserved to be
>>375795234
so all the choices are just for fluff and I just pick what route I want to take at the 'alignment lock'?
I mean it can't be worse than actually trying to get Neutral on IV
>literally give and take every answer (1 chaos, 1 law, etc)
>get aligned locked into one or the other rather than Neutral because the margin for error is so small

good shit
>>375795286
It'd be really neat, but I'm content with it not being in, because the only music that changes is normal battle music. Would have loved if all combat music, even boss and miniboss were different.
>>375795374
Only >>375795335 matters
If you're a dick and choose Bonds you lose demons iirc.
Help me out /v/, I've never played an SMT before but they look fun. Which ones should I play and which one should I avoid?
>>375793865
Did Ozawa really do anything wrong? Bullying Chaos Hero made him grow.
>>375795485
Play Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
>>375795286
I remember when P5 first real trailer was shown and smug-kun had the flame go over him and that evil smile with yellow eyes, people thought they would transform ala DDS.
Is P5 the one nu-persona game SMTfags like? I know its the only nu-persona ones I like
>>375795485
all of them fag of man
>>375795485
Honestly play em all. I'd recommend playing release order so it won't be as frustrating going back playing the older ones.
/smtg/ has a pastebin with the patch fixes for SMT 1 and 2 iirc, they're very useful.
>>375775984
I mean, it's pretty obvious. Not wearing a Demonica. The colors, the textures, the coat...
>>375795485
DemiKids is the best starting point
>>375795485
Courtesy of /smtg/
I say IV or nocturne. If you wanna play the best final fantasy game go with DDS
>>375777176
I like him
>edgy design
>is actually a bro
I want to marry Satan!
HOL UP
>>375795374
The worst part was how the last decision before the lock would shift you to chaos or law if your current alignment was neutral.
>>375795485
Play all of them. Best mainline to start with is Nocturne. Best spinoff is DDS or Persona 3.
>>375795438
Still kind of surprised they didn't do anything for DDS, P3 had a ton of references to DDS.
>TFW getting Cielo Mist from the vending machines.
>>375795553
5 is definitely a massive fucking improvement over 3 and 4 in the gameplay department, can't believe they got rid of negations in favor of a card game in 3 and 4 for one.
>tfw demons call you Son of Man
It's such a cool fucking title
>>375795721
Is Son of Man reserved for Messiahs? I think it's used for Jesus right?
>>375795553
Yes, because it's back to formula of the SMT roots and P1-2 roots, even though it has P3/4 stuff, they're improved from the previous titles.. It's a very well polished game they made.
Negotiations coming back was fucking nice too.
>>375795681
>not Zain from SMT2
cmon son
>>375795720
Maybe they didn't because it wasn't as well received? I'm not so sure.
>>375795685
WE WUZ UBERGESTALT
>>375795681
I knew it videogames do turn people into Satanists
>>375795286
So who would you dress up?
MC = Serph
Ann = Argilla
Ryuji = Cielo
Yusuke = Gale
Makoto = Jinana
Futaba = Sera
Akechi =Heat
Morgana = Schrodinger
>>375795690
honestly it would have been easier if there was just a neutral option
>JONATHAN OR WALTER, FLYNN
>neither fuck both of you retards
>>375795826
If Ryuji isn't Heat, I'd put him as Roland instead of Cielo.
No clue on Haru, that's kinda tough.
>>375795826
I feel like Argilla should be Haru.
>>375795227
Looks like you answered my question. You did play the games but you didn't learn shit. YHVH alone is extremely powerful but he is LITERALLY invincible so long as humanity or the masses believe him to be so. That's one of the biggest factors as to why Nanashi is able to kill him. They see him as nothing more than a selfish-arrogant being, and thus, the Axiom (Great WIll) brings him down to what he truly is, a demon (demonized YHVH). It's why he starts panicking and begging you and everyone else to praise his name and glory, because he loses his omnipotence and knows he can be harmed. Like I said before, SMT operates on a multiverse scale and each universe has it's own seperate YHVH, Lucifer, etc. Nanashi's Lucifer is not equal to Nocturne's Lucifer. And since Demifiend has been proven many times to be way more powerful than the other protagonists, even if you just look at his stats in the DLC alone, it tells you that his Lucifer is actually way stronger. Furthermore, the Lucifer in IV/IVA was fucked up and incomplete, and needed a human to even regain his form, while Nocturne's Lucifer retained his demonized angel body. Then there's the examples of when you run into each protagonist in the DLC. Each protagonist is being ganged up on and struggling to fight off their demons until you step in to fix the handicap. Demifiend on the other hand is shown to be easily handling his foes until you but in.
>>375795929
>TFW you haven't announced that you're a member of Embryon in the past five minutes
>>375795929
Ryuji as Heat was an obvious choice due to their hot headedness but Akechi usually gets the 'bad guy' outfits
>>375795826
Akechi as Bat might also work.
>>375795826
GORO AS ANGEL
>>375796026
In fact this reasoning is why Akechi got the Jun outfit instead of, you know, the guy who fucking looks like Jun.
>no Biker Tatsuya skin
meh
>>375795985
>overwhelming them with magic
>>375794994
Is that out for NA already?
>>375796018
>>375796026
Ah, true, and kekkle.
>>375795985I really hope your explanation doesn't fall on deaf ears, but it probably will.
>>375796065
>akechi gets some throwaway lines about wanting to eat Ann's tigole bitties
>>375796153
If he used physical attacks they would already be dead. He was just playing with them.
>>375786813
>Stephen's goal is the end this endless paradox and help ascend a humanity that TRULY does not need demons or gods
u wot anon
Dagda's final appeal to you was to return demons and gods to the form of nature, not to be trapped in the forms of gods and demons.
>>375796026
>Potter-kun, Mona and Goro are the only ones to not get generic outfits
>>375795985
None of them seem to be struggling in that image to me.
>>375795985
Why did they need the SMT1 hero when he's the most normie of all?
Also did they not give him an actual name?
>>375796389
they didn't, it was just Hero
>>375796383
>Flynn and Aleph ask for your help as they fight off the demons
>Demi-fiend shown to just be dodging everything and blowing them up with magic
>hey
the difference seems obvious
>>375796167
Yes, came out the 25th.
>>375796389
Well Demifiend is also a title
Hero is the true hero, he deserve a good victory
>>375796383
Difference is the second panel and 4th. Aleph and Flynn ask for help, while Demiqua is just having some fun. Probably wondering why you butted in with the "Hey.."
>>375796309
the intention with a lot of the DLC is to be "what if these characters went to the school in this game", though they kind of throw that out when they do some characters
>>375796464
>hey
>do you have a Life Stone
>>375796383
I had to exclude some screens so it would fit but the game makes it obvious that they're all still having a fight with these demons, rather than easily cutting them down or having the full advantage like Demifiend is.
>>375796389
what ---> >>375796442 said. They don't actually need him for anything. Stephen just wants him and the other protags led on the right path, so to speak. SMT1's hero is all fucked up and Stephen is using you guys to somehow recreate him and send him back to his world to finish things, same with him bringing Demifiend back to have another shot at Lucifer, and so on.
>>375796561
>Difference is the second panel and 4th. Aleph and Flynn ask for help, while Demiqua is just having some fun. Probably wondering why you butted in with the "Hey.."
This. It's more of an annoyed "Why'd you kill steal me?" kind of "Hey...".
>>375796645
I like the idea of him becoming less human as time goes on and he just starts asking demon negotiation questions
>Do I even have shoulders?
>>375795985
>Flynn fights nuetrel demons
>Aleph law
>Demi Chaos
So am guessing these are the cannon routes then?
>>375796616
further reminder again on Akechi getting the antagonist skins:
His skin for the Catherine set is Boss
Also Haru has a penis
>>375796148
Kek
>>375796616
>if... never
>Pancakes never
>>375796757
for the events that ended up branching to SMT4 in the timeline, yes
>>375796530
I guess, but to be fair, Demi-fiend is a pretty clear title.
If you're talking about the Demifiend in earshot of other demons then yeah they know who the fuck you're talking about.
Meanwhile you're like "hey have you seen the Hero" and everyone is just like uh who the fuck is this douchebag with such an inflated ego that he'd call himself the Hero?
>>375796724
>If you're such hot shit, crush this rock with your bare hands!
>needing daddy Dagda to get you to the top
>needing observation bullshit
>not just out dpsing YHVH with a sword
>>375796151
>females all wear the same outfit
>Ryuji's shirt never makes sense in the context of the outfit he wears
I swear this is the same across all the costume packs. It gets really shitty when 3~ characters have the school uniform in the Raidou set.
>>375796757
Pretty much.
In pic related the only reason why Demifiend doesn't null gun is because it's a sort of inside gag joke from Atlus to the players of Nocturne. If you played the game you'd know why he gun attacks are blank slate to him.
>>375796970
Can't null shit that isn't in your game my man
>>375797037
This guy gets it.
>>375796970
>Aleph doesn't even Null Holy
how bad do you even need to be that you don't have a normal inherent human immunity to Hama?
>>375796970
>you couldn't cheese him in DDS with guns
One job
>>375796970
>>375797037
>Can't resist bullet in DDS or IV
>Can't resist Earth in DDS
Good shit.
>>375796970
>Hero has more than base magic
Bullshit
>>375796970
Oh wow I never bothered to look at their stats
Pretty cool titles or whatever their called, Replicant and Chaos
>>375797061
The only things he was not resistant to was Earth and gun.
>>375796970
How come Demi can null Dante's guns then?
>>375796970
>Hero has the highest STR
Other MCs confirmed wimps, I bet they can't even cruah a rock with their bare hands.
>>375797061
You can with Earth which isn't in his game either
>>375796970
>mfw I never noticed the Replicant race for Aleph
Shit that makes a lot of sense.
>>375797037
Guns also worked on him in DDS iirc, but using that is a death wish.
>>375797058
Is an artificial human the same as a normal human born from mother and father?
>>375797113
Most of it is probably a leftover from INT.
>>375797037
>Can't null shit that isn't in your game my man
>>375797146
Is DDS the only game with Tera skills?
>>375797058
>Replicant race
>"Why doesn't he have human immunities?"
>>375797127
pic related
>>375796970
Aleph seemed to get the short end of the stick in terms of resistances there.
>>375796757
Flynn honestly has the best team there. Thoth and the peacock guy who I can't remember the name of are top tier.
>>375796970
Never even noticed that Aleph was a loser DEXfag.
>>375797140
Dante's moveset is just Raidou's and he doesn't use guns
Plus Dante's guns are magic and shit
>>375796970
>Demi fiend has higher Mag than Str
Bullshit
>>375797140
Ebony and Ivory shoot magic bullets, that's why Dante never have to
reload themI guess.
>>375797058
>>375797207
YHVH made him right? He probobly made him vulnerable to his minions/himself "just in case".
>>375797191
Tera skills were also in persona 1 and 2, same with frei skills until Persona 5 brought them back
>>375797347
No, Uriel Rapheal and Michael made him, because they were too impatient for YHVH to send a Messiah.
>>375797351
Hopefully P6 has them, and SMTV has Frei Psy and Earth
>>375787326
I still don't know anything bout this except that it tales place in a highschool displaced in some other dimension.
Who the fuck is that guy in the cover and who is the shit kneeling in front of him?
>>375797191
Earth as an element has existed in other games. it was Magna in Persona 1/2, but Tera in DDS.
Then again Persona 2 was elements: the game
>Sword
>Strike
>Throwing
>Havoc
>Gun
>Fire
>Water
>Wind
>Earth
>Ice
>Electric
>Nuclear
>Light
>Dark
>Almighty
>>375797262

>>375797112
>>375797061
>>375797058
>>375797231
As someone who nerve bulleted his way to victory in SMT I it bothers me that Hero uses phys and Aleph gun.
>>375797235
Raidou does use guns though. Does he not use one in Nocturne?
>>375797418
Main antagonist. Basically Adachi but also autistic and in high school
>>375797429
>Sword
>Strike
>Throwing
>Havoc
>Gun
>Elements
I cast fist
>>375797452
probably because SMT1 hero's shtick was Sword Fusion.
>>375797418
It's Hazema, and his form as Demon Emperor.
>>375797443
>Magma Axis
my naga
>>375797458
He does, and he's in the release after Dante's.
>>375797452
Probably uses fusion swords.
>>375797512
Elements in the sense of shit to have weaknesses against.
people thought Persona 3 was bad about it with three but Persona 2 had Five.
>>375797443
I fucking loved Magma Axis, had the best animation
>>375797443
I beat the Stephen a while ago and man useing these dudes again felt great.
>tfw no Nakijma cameo in SMT
feels fucking bad
>>375797429
Persona 1 had like, 4 groups of elements that were divided into 4 elements which were divided into 4 elements. I literally have a google doc so I can check this shit
Magic
>Elements
>>Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth
>Force
>>Electric, Nuclear, Gravity, Blast
>Dark
>>Death, Nerve, Occult, Curse
>Holy
>>Expel, Prayer, Bless, Miracle
>Special
Physical
>Tech, Rush, Special
Weapon
>Sword, 2-Hand, Spear, Axe, Whip, Thrown, Arrow, Fist
Firearm
>enemies can resist/be weak to/be vulnerable to/absorb/reflect groups of elements; "Resist Physical" or specific elements "Absorb Blast"
>>375797632
Fiend best race. Prove me wrong
Protip:you can't
*smirk*
>>375797771
didn't plan on contesting that
>>375797771
Daisoujou is the best.
>>375797552
>>375797564
>Sword fusion
Yeah, that was a thing. I just used Masakado's Katana in both I and II, multi-hit + freeze is way too good.
>>375797776
>>375797552
>>375797564
Hero is explicitly from the Diamond Realm, or at least between Tokyo getting nuked and being returned to Tokyo, so it's weird that he's being seen as a sworduser when I don't think you had access to any good swords at that point. Meanwhile Aleph is a trained gladiator fighter who should know how to swing a weapon around.
I mean, it's fanservice DLC and I don't think it's worth looking into too much, but still.
>>375797873
she'll reach the magic cap by the time she hits lv99.
>>375797873
Man, all his unique animations were baller as fuck. Makes me just wanna replay with only unique skills that he has access to.
>>375797776
>Antichthon
>Antichthon
>Antichthon
>Antichthon
>>375797947
>>375797776
Fusing shit tier demons with any moveset you wanted was so satisfying in IV. Unfortunately that's not as viable in Apocalypse without some insane Fiend grinding.
Nocturnefags are tied with P3fags as the most annoying circlejerks in the Megaten fandom. Prove me wrong.
>>375798073
why do you care so much, fuck off
>>375798001
>>375798067
I sort of had a fusion path that allowed me to get this same exact movelist on literally every demon in one or two fusions, so that's why it doesn't have buffs and such. I already 100% the game so this was just me dicking around with game breaking stuff. Same as my stuff in here >>375797947. Just messing around.
>>375798073
Raidoufags actually
you can't mention it without someone posting Aspect Raidou
>>375798153
Are these games worth playing? I know next to nothing about them other than aspect ratio images.
>>375798067
>battle plans don't work to neutralize negative affinities
worthless desu
>>375798073
>Persona fags say something wrong about our game because they haven't played it, or are just too dumb to understand basic english.
>We correct them
>"Why are nocturne players so shit man!??!?"
It has nothing to do with circle jerking a character. If someone says something wrong they'll most likely be corrected, and it just so happened to be about Demifiend.
>>375798073
For unknown reasons the combination of Atlus and the number 3 causes severe autism.
>>375798203
Gameplay in 1 is poor, second is just okay. Baller ass fuck setting and music. Not a great jrpg, but if you enjoy smt universe, give it a fucking go.
>>375798073
>Prove me wrong
You literally can't.But they are justified.
>>375798268
Is this why there are so many duologies in SMT?
>>375798203
they're action RPGs. Kind of interesting. Gameplay isn't the best. Still has negotiations and shit though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-PtAAOLco
>>375798268
3 is a magic number. The rule of 3. Half life 3. The Tri-force. Trilogies. 3rd times a charm. Fuck 7, 3 is where its at.
>>375798347
>>375798073
I'd say personafags in general are worse, simply because smtfags at least know what they're talking about most of the time. SMTfags or nocturnefags for that matter at least played most of the games, while the average personafag starts at P4 or P3 if they're lucky.
How the fuck do you replenish items in the final dungeon?
>>375798379
Now where have I heard that song before...

>Lv 99 Almighty spam Jack Frost

I wanted Matador as my main physical but he would not fucking spawn, I ran over his spot so many times with weaponized autism and it wasn't enough.
>>375798639
I have no clue honestly, sorry. I just maxed out stock when I could.
>>375798506

>>375797037
>revolver Jesus in cutscenes uses gun type
>all persona are weak to it
>>375797262
Why else do you think he died to Lucifer or Kagasuchi?
>>375798639
You don't.
You can talk to Lavanze for free HP/SP heals, though.
>>375798654
I wish Matador and David got updated Kaneko art
at least Matador has a sweet ass in P5
man you guys werent kidding about these buffs
Didnt even leave the hospital and got jumped by a trio of hua po who all spammed defense up buffs. all the other demons just stack and stack and stack on those buffs
>>375798815
Buffs are so good my dude, same with debuffs.
>>375798815
>>375798760
Akechi's Raidou skin is General Munakata
>>375798914
I AM SILLY
buffs are for strawmen
Are there any SMT games with a demon who wants to be friends with the humans
>>375799035
Soul Hackers.
>>375799035
Strange Journey, kind of.
Just the one human, though.
>>375799035
I know what you're trying to do.
>>375798932
Looks decent in military Garb.
>>375798815
You can cheese Nocturne by spamming a particular debuff skill accessible quite early on. Use whatever buffs/debuffs you get, do your best to remember them by name and prep accordingly.
ALMOST everything in the game is fair and logic based. I'm going to spoil something very minor, but its bullshit. You are eventually going to fight Pic related at some point, he's pretty much unbeatable unless you fight him on a full moon phase, and on my play-thoughs I have never seen anyone tell me that.
>>375799035
Devil Survivor.

It's not really a title per se, but being named Son of Man among other sons of man is an obvious litote which implies you're more than a simple man.
What tracks do you get for the Raidou and SMTIV dlc for Persona 5?
Having trouble deciding between the two.
Im working my way through Nocturne after getting halfwatmy through p3 and i think a 6th of the way through strange journey. In all that time I winged it in the nitty gritty of fusion
How do I actually control what resistances my demons are getting, what skill are inherited? I know some skills are random, but is there a no bullshit guide for this?
>>375793048
Yeah that's basically the perfect description.
>>375801389
Keep rerolling.
>>375793556
if they were personas they wouldn't be actual characters after their introduction
>>375799625
good tip, I'll try and remember that.
theyre throwing a lot if mechanics at me that dont really make much sense by themselves, are the phases time based or do the fill with movement??

Yes

That might be the most autistic thing I've read today.
>>375801976
Good DLC Battle themes:
Persona 2
Catherine
Raidou
if...
Persona 1 is kind of disappointing because it plays the PSP battle theme (A Lone Prayer) instead of the PS1 one.
>>375802487
I live to astound.
After playing so many SMT games, I got inspired to make my own element chart idea. What do you think?
>Elements
Fire (Burn; decrease HP)
-Elec (Shock; decrease HP and stun)
Water (Drench; lower stats)
-Ice (Froze; lower stats and high crit chance)
Earth (Entomb; stun)
-Life/plants (Overtake; stuns and decrease hp)
Wind (Gusts; high crit chance)
-Force/Jet (Exposure; high crit chance and lower stats)
>Magic
(Both had access to instakill moves, otherwise, they are damaging as normal)
Holy
Dark
>Physicals
(Come in range and melee types. Arrows are slash/ranged, Fists are blunt/melee, etc)
Slash
Blunt
>Almighty
Almighty (magic-based)
Astral (physical)
>>375801976
>tfw DLC doesn't come with map themes so you can replace that awful Mementos song with the SMT4 Toyko theme or something.
>>375802526
I'm pretty disappointed it's just one track for each costume. P3 should've had Mass Destruction and Wiping All Out switch between each battle.
>>375802623
I like the Mementos theme.
>>375802562
Something I liked from Soul Sacrifice is that when an enemy is struck enough with their weakness they get stunned for a while and are considered that element. Getting hit by that element's weakness results in a huge explosion.
If I remember the elements in that game were:
Fire > Poison (Plant) > Stone > Lightning > Ice > Fire
So the enemy is weak to ice, so you use ice attacks on them until they get frozen. Then use a lightning move on them for the explosion.
Neat technical damage.
>>375802526

What DLC do I buy to unlock this?
>>375775984
Still a more believable disguise than a white bitch in a dress.
>>375801897
the glowing orb in the upper left, sometimes it says half or full or something out of 8.
>>375803760
That's the "moon", the phases are based off of how many steps you take. It also has effects on demons, if they're at full moon, they're full of energy, and some demons you normally can't talk to will join you during that. Full moon also increases crit rates for everyone, while new moon decreases it, but there are few skills that synchronize with those phases. Special ornate chests also have their treasure vary based on the moon, full usually resulting in good shit. Some puzzles are also based on it. Do you have the manual for the game?
>>375803063
There isnt one. Sadly.Fucking love this song.

Seeing this makes me sad i'll never be this good or knowledgeable about fusing in SMT and Persona
