That really depends on how you're trying to push a product, Fatlus is trying to bring new blood to SMT in general and is aiming for the Persona kiddies, hence the generic animu rework of SJ with Doi's artstyle, but not all devs or companies do that.

Personally, I doubt Atlus would ditch the unique style of its founder just for the sake of general appeal. It's more probable that Kaneko retired from designing on his own.

Falcom's president is on record saying how they had to "modernize" their character designs when they jumped from PC to Sony consoles to attract shonen kiddies, hence their questionable redesigns for Ys' protagonist Adol Christin and new Kiseki games taking inspiration from Light Novel designs.

Baba from Namco Bandai used to constantly talk about this issue back when he was still in charge of Tales.

Square and FFXV/VsXIII

Maybe not all, but quite a few definitively do.

You do realize Falcom has been like that since forever? It's just that they had to finally realize it's not the 90's anymore and that big pauldrons and the old Lodoss character design are out of style, but they always attracted shonenshit since their inception, Sony has nothing to do with it.

Naoya you run around murdering everyone who tries to attack you or become a benevolent dictator and turn them against the angels, if you kill people your own party members from before turn on you and you fuck them up along with metatron
Law you become jesus and go around converting people who are marked for purging by the angels then beat okuninushi to solidify yhvh's control over lesser deities
yuzu's bad ending is expanded so that everything is so fucked yhvh abandons the world and you have to try and fix everything, it has two endings and one of them is the world being trapped in chaos forever because you fucked up.

SaGa 1 on the GB sold over a million units, being the first million unit seller for Squaresoft and arguably one of the most successful and popular gameboy games of all times, all other SaGa bar Unlimited, the various remakes and Scarlet Grace sold over a million units and games like Romancing SaGa 2 and 3 or Frontier are some of the most relevant games of all time in Japan, especially in pop culture.

Not to mention that SaGa was and is one of the most influential series of all time in Japan, we wouldn't even have pokemon if it weren't for it.

The power of a girl would override any sane judgement on the bias of neutral.
I do wish they at least tried to paint the exteme alignments in a better light, law and chaos can't be good forces anyway and if from IVA, we can assume the idea of a demons existing with the alignment choices isn't guaranteed as Dagda in the end helps you create one where humans exist solely and Danu has that whole coexistence bend.

I didn't mind the Egyptian aesthetic that they were going for the dark mages in Awakening since they were from a desert nation. The real problem is that Tharja and Henry were basically the same super quirky character in the localization because they fucked over Henry and flanderized Tharja a bit. The latter got off easy since she still has some good supports if you're willing to look into them.

The issue with TMS is that outside of the battle system which is ripped right out of SMT, everything else is garbage. Awful story, idolshit, stupid battle animations, incredibly retarded character design of the transformed characters and the mirages. The problem is that the core battle system is taken right out of SMT so they can use that whenever someone criticizes the game.

It's only virtue is that the gameplay was done by Atlus.

It improves SMT IV on many aspects, from the world map to the battle system.
It fails hard on the story though. It is not bad, but it could have been better.
Dagda ruined the game with his edgy bullshit, and the waifus ruined the mood even more.
A party composed of Nanashi, Navarre, Gaston and the ashura-kai faggot would have been glorious. Nozomi is cool too, but the other loli bitches made me cringe every single time. When they start to fight for your cock is when the game becomes ridiculous.

the guy Yamai Kazuyuki, who was responsible for about 70% of SMT IVs setting, wasnt allowed to do shit anymore by Atlus at the end of 2013. The reason was most likely the poor world wide selling of SMT Devil Summoner 2 in 2008, since that was the last time he was a director of a SMT game. Ever since that, he made (only) planning in Strange Journey and SMT IV.

He wasn't even really involved in SMT IV Apocalypse, apperently the hoped for bigger sellings there

You forgot the fact that co-op attacks can happen multiple times in the one set of turns and if all 3 demons in your party match your alignment, co-op attacks can deal some hefty damage.

It's still not on the same level as extra turns, which at minimum double your total damage and give you opportunities to buff and heal.
>>
>>383495404
Okay it had it merits.

Press turn is easier for the seasoned SMT player since you can carefully plan your shit without getting interrupted for the most part. Where as SJ rolled dice depending on your speed resulting in pretty tense moments when a boss hits you before he usually does on average. I give it that.

Otherwise demon co-op was just mix and match alignments and fish for weaknesses while you practically fight for turns and have to plan arround them in the tougher Press Turn battles, you can't defend this.

Want to heal in SJ? Waste a demon turn, can't get it back.
Boost with luster candy? Same.
Getting free turns helps a lot the general strategy of the game. Stuff like ouroboros or mem aleph would be way easier if you could get extra turns instead of nothing. Mem aleph especially because not only she's super tough, you can't even use all outs.
>>
>>383496214

The P5 example wasnt even oversimplified though. You literally use the most mp efficient skill and use all out attacks because it pretty much instant kills everything without having any downside. Its a free instantkill. Its pretty silly.

Mem Aleph was a tough and amazing fight anyhow.

But thing is the game is actually build arround that, you don't have to constantly attack in SJ you won't get anything out of it anyway, just heal, buff and debuff till your party is stable then go for the offense, most damage comes from one or two people and the full party doing co-op anyway.

The games with Press Turn on the other hand are balanced arround having those extra turns, otherwise you are fucked. I actually don't know how P5 or any other Persona after 2 did it I'm talking abbout DDS1+2, Nocturne and IV+IVA

I'm playing apocalypse right now should I be trying to fuse every demon or is it okay to skip some?

>>383497142
You never fuse all the available demons unless in a normal playthrough.
You only do it if you feel like it, you don't catch every pokemon in a pokemon game right?
>>
>>383497142
Just keep fusing and recruiting, wait until boss fight to start fusing so you know what resistance you should get. Also always level everything until they stop learning skill and start whispering if you can

It's fine my first smt game was DeSu1, the vibe is just fine and it is a srpg/turnbased rpg hybrid, the battle themselves are just press turns lite.
>>
>>383497946

Honestly instead of Apocalypse I would have loved a IV remake with Apocalypse's gameplay upgrades, an expanded Mikado and more endings.
>>
>>383498514
Actually, it would have been great to have a game with all the action centered on Mikado and being a Samurai. Something like a story about the foundation of Mikado, after Akira did all his shenanigans to fuck with the angels.
>>
>>383488537
Satan's an angel.

So how does the actual battle system in SMT work? It it typical rock/paper/scissors monster raising like Pokemon and Digimon?
>>
>>383499070
Wizardry meets Pokemon, basically.
>>
>>383499070
no
it varies from game to game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTWuYyxeoT8 this should kinda show how it works in the modern games.
>>
>>383497626

On 3DS without doubt is:
Shin Megami Tensei IV (2013)
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (2010 on DS)

The real good shit is PS2 though:
Shin megami tensei III: Nocturne (2003)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (2006)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner II (2008)

You can play them in any order, but if you want to go all out you should go chronologically.
>>
>>383499214
except it has little to do with pokemon beyond capturing demons
>>
>>383499070
Sort of with resistances going way further in how hard they counter certian elements like completely absorbing or reflecting them, aside from that, in boss battles there is usually also a mandatory tug of war between buffs/debuffs going on.

They're not remakes, they're just enhanced ports.
The funny fucking thing is that SMT1 had 3 other ports (sega CD/PC Engine, GBA, PS1) and SMT2 had 2 (PS1 and GBA) each with their own enhancements (like portraits, new demons, redesigned UI).
And continuing on, with a remake of 1 and 2, who'd want that considering people are bitching about the changes done to the base games with simple ports? They won't bring back Kaneko, probably will get an animated opening, art change and second chick outside of the Heroine and Yuriko/Lilith to lust over your dick and 4th ending.

>>
>>383499070
Current main us like this.
You get 1 turn for each party member in your party which is up to 4.
You hit a weakness you only use up half a turn.
So if you hit a weaknes you can get up to 4 turns extra.
If someone nulls your attack you lose 2 turn instead of one and if the enemy drains or reflects it you lose all your turns.
For example you hit a demon who.isn't affected by fire attacks you lose 2 turns if a demons gets healed by fire attacks or reflects them.you lose all your turns.if you hit him.with a fire attack.
The enemy can do.the same thing.

I'm fairly sure they're what the iOS port was based off, so I can vouch for 1's quality. They haven't been translated beyond 1 on iOS though.

The only other real options are the SNES versions since they're the only translated ones. SMT 1 has a lot of questionable design decisions though. For example, when you buy weapons it doesn't tell you their stats since Atlus assumed you could just look them up in the game menu. The PSX and GBA versions fix that though.

They're fun games though once you get past the age

Apocalypse should be played after IV.
Soul Hackers is a fun game, but it's a Sega Saturn port and has a lot of archaic features still stuck in there. It's enjoyable, but noticeably old. It's also great because, like all the Devil Summoner games, your main character has a the smuggest fucking grin the entire game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse (2016) is made by a different director and loses it roots quite a bit in story and design. It definitely aims for a different audience than the usual older SMT do. (I personally do not recommend this one)

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner Soul Hackers (2013) is a great SMT as a whole, but it is unable to compete with the big ones on a serious level, in terms of setting, story and design.

To be frank though, the game is easier on you than IV for the whole first half of the game. It remedies itself at that point though drowning you in boss gauntlets and legitamately hard boss fights all the way till the end.
And arguably has the hardest extra content (and dlc) in the series if you aren't willing to level beyond the 99 treshhold.

Or blow your brains out and do twisted tokyo over and over again till you have max stats and level 999 and crumble under the objectively worst and hardest grind in the series,
since you will actually need those stats to finish the last round in which demons and bosses will scale

Pixie/Demifiend is a ship I didn't know I wanted until now.

They force Iga and his team to go with dumb anime style to appeal to more people. If you watch interviews of OoE he flat out said he didnt like it one bit

A Castlevania SMT crossover could be cool

Where the actual fuck are my PC ports, Fatlus?

The last palace looks like it came straight from Nocturne. It was actually pretty cool. Too bad by then the game had overstayed it's welcome for a solid 20/30 hours.

No, but "Mot decided on a whim to give himself 5 turns and then proceeds to spam almighty" does not look like it "works as intended" to me
>>
>>383501840
I guess, though if they had to cut something I'd take anything but those last 20 hours. Shido's palace was way too fucking long and tedious.

I love Meguro, but let him stick with Persona. It fits him better.

>>383501784
Atlus knows shit about marketing and in japan it does not sell enough to do any PC ports

They have no idea how much money they are missing in the west

Didn't Sega at least wanted to port Persona to pc? Maybe we will see megaten on pc soon

>>383502287

You know what Persona really killed?

Trauma Center

Fuck your Persona and SMT and all that crap
GIVE ME ANOTHER TRAUMA CENTER GAME

Persona 1 was on PC from memory
Giten Megami Tensei was a PC exclusive too, but we ignore that one
>>
Well... Yeah. There was no mainline SMT between II and III for like a decade because of Persona.

>>383502375
>but we ignore that one
Why?
>>
>>383502534
it's fucking weird man. It borders on guro at some parts
>>
>>383502284
PC ports are a money investition that Atlus may or may not have. If anything they would first bring some Persona titles to PC and monitor how it sells. Only after that, they will may consider bringing SMT games aswell.
