>>376644602
no thanks I'm good.

>>376644602
Persons games need to drop that dumb JRPG combat and dungeons. I want full on dating sims.

>>376644602
Played it.

Beat it.

IVA was more Persona than SMT and P5 was more SMT than Persona.

Anarchy ending was the only correct choice. Anyone that sides with the White is a manchild baby.

I'm playing SMT IV right now.
It's a good game, but nowhere near as fun as Persona.

>>376645012
I agree except IVA's DLC fights are some of the hardest and best fights using the SMT/Persona systems.

I had to drop it down from War one notch every single boss starting at Odin, I did the rest of the game on War up to that point

someone hold me close

Play a real SMT game like IV:A so you can have a murderous little girl and your childhood friend fight over your dick before you decide to make a ghost with a nice ass into your goddess.

>>376644602
>Play these games
>Doesn't post image from either game

Anyway I'm close to this boss' dungeon but Krishna is blocking my path. I have 201 strength so I could punch him to death myself if I wanted, but all of my support demons have weaknesses and are underleveled. I'm also a broke bitch so I can't pull anything out of the compendium. Guess I have no choice but to grind.

Can Citra handle Soul Hackers yet?

>>376644602
I'm thinking about playing Strange journey but I wonder if I should just wait for the remake. I've tried twice before but I always get bored of the combat.

>Hey spinoff fags, play some real franchise games like spinoff game or spinoff game!

At least mention mainline when you're shitposting.

>>376645261
How do you get macca un this game again ?
I'm pretty early in IV (lvl 28) but I can't get any money.

>>376645261
Get someone like Maya who's immune to his debuffs so you can cut his amount of moves every turn, also don't forget Me Patra and Me Patra stones, and if you didn't know he's weak to Dark, so Alice is a great demon to take for him since she's immune to his debuffs and stuff

>>376645440
Both of are spin offs that are identical in gameplay to the mainline game of their time though.

It's not like he recommended devil survivor, raidou or DDs.

>>376645497
You pretty much have to grind for relics and do Challenge Quests, you can also do delivery Challenge Quests more than once, stuff like "get x number of items from x demon"

>>376645440
Strange Journey is mainline dumb-dumb.

>>376645656
That's shit.
Isn't there a cafe or a fast food where I can work and get some proficiency points ?

>>376645767
I think there's a money grind DLC if you're feeling like doing that

>>376645767
You can either shake down demons for cash with an app you get, or get the scout buff apps that give you money for recruiting stuff.

>>376645835
I have it yohoho but it feels like cheating.
I tried the exp one and once I got 2 books saying "you up a level" in one fight I stopped.
>>376645932
Thanks I'll check these.
Whad does the demon fusion lite app anyway ?

>>376645365
Deep is a remake? If that's the case I'm all for that.

I tried so hard to like Strange Journey but the fact that it's a DS Game kinda ruined it.
I can't stand the low quality sprites and shtity 3D environments. I loved EO 1-3 but that's because the bright and simple design of everything was very easy to look at unlike super detailed sprites that you can barely make out because of the shit resolution and red and black environments.

Going from P5 back to SMT IV one thing I hate about Persona 5 is the complete lack of demon variety thanks to Atlus cheaping out on 3D models.

Soul Hackers isn't a spinoff though. It's a direct sequel to a mainline game, it even says Shin Megami Tensei in red right on Devil Summoner's boxart.

But even besides that nitpicking, Devil Summoner 1 and Soul Hackers are SMT as fuck. They are the same exact type of game as SMT1, 2, and If...

Right, mainline has far superior waifus, like Louisa Ferre

Exactly, pardon my lewdness but I wouldn't even hold hands with your persona waifus

So, I haven't played any Persona/SMT games yet and I want to get started. A friend told me that starting Persona out with 3 FES is recommanded, what's the equivalent for SMT ?

>>376649465
That's a good mindset to have actually, final boss on the neutral and law routes will rip you a new one if you aren't really overprepared
That guys overreacting to the general difficulty of the game but goddamn that last boss is a pain to prep for

>>376649886
Nocturne or 4
Digital Devil Saga is also a pretty good starting point to the overall series, but it's also a spinoff

>>376645012
Persona 5 was 75% Persona 4 and 25% Persona 1

>>376649876
See >>376646815

>>376650080
DDS is so different, it's hard to to call it a SMT game imo

Even Persona has more in common to SMT than DDS,not saying DDS is a bad game, just its own beast.

>>376648306
OVERATED
SHIT

The Shin Megami Tensei franchise has to be one of the most childish ones in video games.

Between the constant waifiuposting in the Persona fanbase where 75% of the fanbase doesn't even understand the simple themes the games try to get across constantly to the rampant elitism and inferiority complex from the people who play the mainline series.

>>376650080
Is it a big spinoff that is very different from the original series (what Persona seems to be) or is it still pretty faithful to the mainline SMT games ?

Also, is 4 Apocalypse a P3 FES type of deal or a sequel ?

>>376650225

>>376650392
Apocalypse starts in the middle of SMT4's Neutral Route, then transpires into an alternate timeline to SMT4, basically.

>>376645012
>Persona 5 was more SMT than SMT 4:A

LOL are you on drugs? Did you miss the part that most of the game is a VN? SMT4 focuses heavily on your party, party customisation and actual gameplay over P5?

Whats your customisation on P5? one person who can switch Personas, the ability to choose 3 out of 6 party members?

Playing Soul Hackers right now, just recruited pic related after he curb stomped my party with a crit.

>>376650392
It's a traditional style JRPG with gridlike leveling up. Persona actually stays closer to the mainline series with fusions and whatnot, but many of the mainline fans prefer DDS because unlike Persona it isn't weebshit.

>>376650516
Alright thanks for the answers !

>>376650436
Those are just the two ones people shitpost with because unlike 4 and Apocalypse they're actually good games.

>>376650623
Soul Hackers is the worst for insta death, so many times I've been hit with Mudo when I was perfectly fine.

>>376650715
Thanks man.

>>376650998
But you weren't fine you got hit with Mudo!

>>376650873
But all four of those are good.

But Nocturne is the least good of them. The true measure of a good Megaten game is how many demons there are.

>>376649676
I ran magic once, I was a great heal slut. Then I started only using Luck in every single game for every single run and never looked back.

>>376650715
To be fair, DDS battles feel closer to Nocturne than Persona, which is what I think the main complaint is about.

>>376644602

Soul Hackers aged like milk

>>376651327
I like milk

>>376651354

so does your mother

If Gaston didn't take your turns he'd be perfectly useful, and if Asahi's demons didn't occasionally ignore her orders then she'd be perfectly useful too

toki is great for trash mobs and I accidentally fought a few bosses with her because I forgot to switch beforehand, and her lowering defense and sometimes muting the boss rarely are useful. When you fight demon hordes and they get reinforcements again and again, and she instakills them over and over to get you huge XP is great. She's the best for grinding.

Isabaeu is okay for the most part, and Hallelujah is useful too.

Navarre is the best overall and Toki is the best for trash mobs.

>>376651474
My mother likes Soul Hackers

>Gaston uses all my turns
>Always does the multi-targeting slash attack
>After he uses my turns he kills the enemies with another attack
I don't even care that he uses my turns, Gaston would be great if he always pierced instead of only for the last 1/2 dungeons, or at least got it somewhat earlier. He's my man, you just can't use him on bosses. Nozomi is pretty good for bosses if you don't mind buffing yourself, I think she stole 1/3rd of all of Odin's turns with her photo move.

>>376651558
Hallelujah would be great if literally the only move he ever learned was Warding Shout

>>376652045
You don't need to grind money in these games for the most part.

>>376652215
Oh right I completely forgot about Nozomi

Once she can remove smirk and gets pierce it's pretty great, once everybody who can gets pierce they all become a lot more viable

I legitimately feel like it's better than Str/Dex in 4A (and goes without saying, better in 4 too).

More weaknesses, more turns, easier to heal/buff with the rest. With Magic, you don't even need another stat like how you'd need luck to ever get crits with physical, so you can pump it even higher.

And Judgement Light is just fucking nuts for preemptive smirking and hordes.

You don't, most of that's kinda bullshit.

SMT's a multiverse, any connection isn't really a connection. Even a direct sequel could technically be continuing from a parallel universe that played out identical to the game you're continuing from, since they say every ending is canon, so any difference in playthrough's a different universe.

Avoid buffing a stat past 30, you get a late game Magatama that boosts everything by 10.

Speaking of that, how do most people do Str in IV:A? I just have a party attack, Fang Breaker, Charge and a single target high crit skill and use the rest for damage spells. Buffs and debuffs are too expensive. Haven't found a need for anything else yet although I saw a cool ass skill that does 2-4 heavy attacks.

Don't ever use any of those low accuracy/high crit attacks, they're all shit.

It literally was translated out of SMTG, but nobody's picked up a translation patch yet

It made me sad after playing soul hackers knowing that none of the other games have negotiation even close. It feels like almost an afterthought these days. No innovation at all.

>>376673268
Get some resist phys man

>>376673274
I'd say it's either her or Navarre. Free buffs are too good. The only one that sucks is Gaston because holy fuck stop leaving me with a single press turn what the fuck dude

Instead of spending time with dumbass human girls, you can compose an entire team of fine tuned, buffed up demon waifus.

>>376673774
Negotiation is a shit mechanic and has never been handled well in any SMT game.

What other demons are you using? Raising your Defense and Agility is also very good against Dante as well.
Also make sure you have the Kamudo Magatama.

But she's a horribly written character. She starts off strong though.

>>376674415
I've played worse and weirder game pitches. I'm in. But only if we get to make jokes based on our mom.

You can dl all of those and play if you want altough Giten is a bitch to make it work. Majin has beautiful background images during battle

>>376644602
apocalypse is boring bonds shit anyway. atlus only cares aboyt persona money

A fucking shame because that OST is fucking savage.

>>376674695
I'm playing now...I think my problem is just not having Momu in my active party. Trying again now (already have Kamudo set)

>>376674885
Done deal. I only thought it'd be funny because I wasn't sure if you could kill your parents in any SMT game and it seemed like it'd be the next level from killing your friends.

play DeSu Overclocked and forget the rest.

>>376675016
The story was rad as fuck until bonds, but who the fuck chose bonds? Beat the game 3 times and chose Massacre every single time.

>>376675162
Unicorn and Uzume are very good too but Momu's damage output along with his physical resistance makes him probably the best and is probably why he's so common in Ikebekuro in the first place.

>>376674676
Apparently some of these are more possible than I thought, so tack on watching the full live action Devil Summoner TV series for good measure.

>>376675429
I went Bonds just to see what it was like, holy shit I actually felt bad for killing Dagda. Sure he was kinda edgy but he just wanted to be free.

>we can't just let Dagda control people as he wants, we need peace!
>okay now that Dagda is down, let's rewrite him and control him

>>376670006
That's because Demons were the only race that said something of substance in Apocalypse. Humans kept repeating the same lines over and over to the point that it hard to give a shit about them being oppressed by demons.

>>376675549
Yeah I just barely beat him now. Both my other demons died but scraped through.
For the record love this game, makes me realize how bad/flawed persona is.

>>376675161
This is insane. I'm half-tempted to go into Majin Tensei II blind now.

Any one play Nine?

>>376644602
but i have...i've even played the fan translation of SMT2

>>376675898
I actually don't want to massacre everyone like a lot of people wanted to, but what happened to Dagda was harsh. I'll go his route when I play on Apocalypse since it seems more challenging as well.

>>376676316
The biggest flaw I notice in Persona after playing Nocturne is that we'll never get a battle theme as good as this ever again.

Also you can fight Dante again in the Third Kalpa and recruit him to fight by your side.

Since my xbox doesn't read JP games nor do I have RGH I can only look at the box, manual and DVD. Has a bitching version of SMT 1 battle theme used in the last boss fight though

>>376676328
The conversation theme is fucking nerve wrecking too

>>376676494
The fight with Satan was intense and memorable as fuck on Massacre. The choice prompts were way more badass than muh friendship.
Declining to use sacrifice my demons after we all get reduced to 1 HP and us bouncing back after Satan misses was 10/10.

Not sure why this pisses me off. I guess I have autism
