SMT thread

Play whatever the fuck you want in any order barring direct story sequels like DDS1 and 2. It entirely depends on your tolerance to general improvements made over the years.

Complete your game boyo

2 is the better game, but I think 1 is worth playing first. I think it still holds up in terms of atmosphere. The dungeons are pretty boring, but if you get nerve bullets and a good gun, you can blaze through the game no problem.

sounds good, I was worried about having difficulty with a worse combat system but if I can cheese it I might as well play to enjoy the story. I'm probably going with >>382799794 first though because that Dagda image challenged me.

What is the best version of SMT1 and 2 to emulate? Just looking at wikipedia there's versions of 1 on
>SNES
>PC
>Mega
>PS1
>GBA
>iOS
>Android
no idea where to start

>>382800751
SNES

>>382800858
Cool, and is there just a good translation patch for it? Or a package where the translation comes with the rom?

I've been playing the translated snes copies on my raspberry pi and it's working pretty flawlessly. I'd probably go with whatever version you can play mobile but snes if you're doing it on PC.

>>382800935
ye

>>382800935
Aeon Genesis did patches for both games, and I think someone did another patch to fix bugs with SMT II, but I don't remember what it was.

SNES versions of SMT1&2 are trash compared to the PSX/GBA versions
PSX especially since the graphics are actually decent instead of white room walls, though some minor faggots don't like the ost remixes
For fuck's sake the mere fact you get to know what spells/items/equipment do on the fly is more than a reason enough. Same for demon resists/weakness/drops on the fusion screen
I'd say the only bad part about the psx version is the somewhat slow autobattle but that is fixed by emulations anyways
Unfortunately only the SNES version of II is translated, however I has the english port of the gba with the psx soundtrack on iOS

>>382800751
either SNES or PS1, avoid GBA because the resolution is crazy low.

>>382801025
SH is a good choice. SMT I-II and DDS are also good too

>>382801025
OP here, I haven't beaten either yet but I'd recommend smt2 over soul hackers if you haven't done one of the first person dungeon crawlers. The magnetite and demons in soul hackers are way less forgiving. I lost all my magnetite and was abandoned by most of my team pretty early on and it's hard to recover. it would be best to learn the mechanics before going in at least.

>>382799374
SMT2 can get pretty boring due to all the backtracking and the atmosphere is nowhere near as good as 1, but the story is great.
It will make playing Noctune a bore

>>382801136
Which versions were translated?

>>382802071
Snes and ios.

>>382801136
>>382801429
So smt 1 first?
I can only play snes version

i'm never going to finish any of these, am I

>>382802624
You can do it

>>382802740

i finished SMT IV and loved it, i may have been overzealous in starting shit afterwards. loving all four of them so far (although Apocalypse had a rocky start with the annoying characters, it's gotten much more bearable)

So playing smt 4, storming purgatory with lucifer on a quest to invade the kingdom of mikado while killing gods angels is pretty fucking fun. Definitely going to have to play some more smt games.

Everything will be fine as long you listen like a good boyo to your dear old daddy Dagda, kid.

Wait till you play the other games.
Overclockes chaos us best chaos ending, DeSu.
Nocturnefag I know your there waiting.

>>382802447
I dunno about Soul Hackers, but be warned SMT1 and 2 aged terribly and they're both a fucking test of patience.

They're not hard by any means if know what you're doing and pretty easy to break even, but everything in that game is a chore to do.

>>382803663
DeSu might be the only game in the franchise where all routes are worth playing

>>382802624
>currently playing Persona 1, Raidou vs, King Abaddon, Digital Devil Saga 2, and Nocturne.

Lifes rough.

>>382803927
I agree except for the obvious bad ending, all the routes are good, I usually feel like that in smt you usually just choose which faction you think fucks you in the ass the least rather than actually agreeing with them.
