No because we still have the strange journey remake coming

>>387704809
You can but you won't make much money.

>>387704751
This, I also loved IV and Apocalypse is just more of what you need. Did like the atmosphere/characters a little better in IV but the QoL updates in Apoc are really incredible. Best use of press turn by far. Have fun OP

>>387704897
Never heard of it, but I guess the new Metroid game could be fun.

>>387704898
I suppose you're right. It's just sort of triggering my autism a little bit that it's just collecting dust and I never want to play it. Maybe I should hold onto it anyways just in case.

>>387705010
It's the DS SMT game that is getting the remake. Play the original if you haven't and you like SMT or first person dungeon crawling games.

>>387704809
Have you tried emulate stuff? Ir your 3DS isn't Even hacked?

Im currently fighting minotaur. I lay the fuck into him with bufu, my whole party has it, but just when I get him to be flashing red i run out of mana and he manages to kill my party, god forbid I get fucking Walter.

I shouldn't bothering with buffs except to make him waste a turn hreverting them right? Any other tips you all can give me without totally spoonfeeding me?


>>387704897
Any word is Deep Strange is gonna keep the alignment battle system or go to press turn?

>>387705184
I'm positive it is keeping it

>>387704865
Neutral, and I'm probably gonna buy it sometime soon.

>>387705184
Use buffs since his debuffs are very devastating without them, I think he use it even without you using buffs. Even offensive buffs for your party are helpful to DPS race him

Press 4 Bufus and use the 4 extra turns to buffs and heals. It's standard boss fights overall

IV was my first time playing mainline a couple years ago and I ended up with whatever ending was king crimson. I should probably play through it again, shouldn't I?

>>387705439
So I should be buffing even on the off chance he doesnt revert my buffs on The next turn?

Hmmn. Well Ill try it.

You have good taste man.
SMT IV is one of the best games of this decade.

>>387705184
Bufu for extra turn, start stacking buffs (To +2 or onwards if you're having trouble, with him or any later boss.)

Which one is the best?

>>387705634
Buffs level go from -3 to +3 (and the difference between each is noticeable). I think there's a button to show buff status during battle, pretty useful stuff.
Minotaur's debuff reduce 1 level on attack and defense. If you are +3 it will be reduced to +2 for example

SMT IV gave me bad anxiety when I was playing it the first time. I don't know why, but I never ended up finishing it.

I'm gonna have to try again. I really enjoyed Devil Survivor OC and Soul Hackers.

But #FE is literally a spinoff, a terrible one at that.
Combat wise it's a carbon copy of SJ but with nothing else that made SJ good.
So you're basically playing a way shittier SJ with "better" graphics. Better being subjective since they're better from technical standpoint but vastly inferior from artistic standpoint.

I never quite understood what this picture is meant to show. Everyone has stands now?

>>387704605
I couldn't get into this, always felt like it was over-hyped. The gameplay just wasn't something I was interested in, and I know I'm gonna sound like a graphicsfag but the animation and art style was atrocious.

It's like they were running a super nintendo game on a 3DS, could they not get higher detailed/quality sprites and animation on the 3DS? I guess the "fun" combat and gameplay is suppose to make up for the drawn by a 3 year old sprites and animations. Disgaea 5 is way sharper, if they had made the sprites and animation like Disgaea 5 I probably would have played the fuck out of it. I don't know what you people find fun about the combat, it's really boring to me. You don't do anything, just negotiate or kill monsters but there are no flashy spells/attack animation. The game has a bare bones combat system, don't know what is so fun about that.

Apocalypse is even better. Loved IV and IVA really need to go play some of the older ones

>>387707449
it runs like fucking shit

give it a couple years

>>387707465
#FE was great, man. Best JRPG of the year unless you count the JP release of Persona 5.

>>387707946
Play Nocturne and the DDS Duology on PS2 at the very least.
Then maybe Raidou but it's radically different in that it's an Action RPG.

>>387707758
It compares a """crossover""" spin off on Wii U to Persona 5.

>>387708013
I don't know what to tell you other than that you have shit taste.
Idolshit, Waifu Emblem Pedowakening and Shadow Dildo references, ending is Power of Friendship while singing idolshit.
No thanks.

>>387705149
Nah, ever since I saw Nintendo was permanently banning people with hacked 3DSs, I got a bit spooked and didn't even bother.

>>387707841
>artstyle and animation
I thought the game had really good art direction and looks nice considering the hardware it's on. The sprites still hold up.
>barebones combat
I mean, how far did you play into the game? Also what other RPGS do you enjoy?

>>387705994
Smt2 obviously

>>387704605
way better than persona 5

There is no fucking point in that. He should compare P5 to last home console SMT game. And P5 is inferior to #FE.

While I don't really like the artstyle, the OST makes up for it a lot, especially after the prologue. The setting is nice too, but a bit of wasted potential I feel

>>387708203
Also what other RPGS do you enjoy?

Ones with an actually combat system, and not a lazy recruiting style system where you don't hardly do anything. Also are you telling me the game just purposely starts out with a lackluster combat system and gets better further in? Just how much better does it get? Because at the start there is virtual no combat system, or it's more of like a sub combat system at best.

>>387708405
>And P5 is inferior to #FE.
Ah, so this is the infamous denial of Nin-toddlers.

Apocalypse is better

Thanks guys, just beat Minotaur. That was fucking awesome.

>>387708536
Could you actually give me some examples instead of being a vague prick? I'm trying to understand why you think it's barebones because you're compring it to something.

SMTIV was one of the best games I played this decade and the single best game on 3DS. I'm not sure why everyone says Apocalypse is better though.

Enjoy. The game only gets better. My favorite mainline even after playing through all the rest

>>387708734
Dude, he's saying SMT, where the combat system is 85% of the game, has "virtually no conbat system." Hes just trolling because we have the gall to actually talk about vidya and not politics, ecelebs, or console wars.

>>387708856
Probably the difficulty. I stlil have to play IV on Hard, it sucks it's only unlocked after beating it once. IV:A is a great game on Hard, even with a level 90+ party endgame bosses can make it rough

>>387708938
I mean, ive tried persona 3 and got half way through but fuck tartarus, didnt like how persona 4 basically sucks your dick and gives you virtual friends, played like two zones into strange journey, and got a little into Nocturne, but somehow didnt get to a mechanic boss yet .

>>387707465
#FE straight up has some of the best combat in Megaten. Better than any Persona game and mainline barring Nocturne and Final. Saying it's a watered down SJ means you haven't play it.

>>387708973
>Where the combat system is 85% of the game

In what form? Recruiting monsters and watching shitty animation spell casting? Also when you attack you don't even see the soldiers attack, it's just a little "FLICK WHOOSH" animation that shows the monster was hit because the developers were too lazy to animate it.

Glad to see it doesn't take much to entertain you.

I keep dying in the first dungeon so I stoped playing
how do I get good

>>387709283
Persona 3 is better on PSP imo where you have an actual functioning party. Even then I'll probably never play it again, it's too dated. And Persona 5 probably made both 3 and 4 unplayable as well. Nocturne's amazing in its own right.

>>387709434
Use buffs, and save often. It gets better once you actually have more than 4 skills per character. Also always hit the enemy weaknesses for extra turns

>>387708536
Well once you get further in you get more skill types, like ailments, buffs (fairly important since buffs/debuffs have variance in MP cost efficiency and have very noticeable effect), damage types and better version of the same spells.
Fusion compliments that by limiting the amount of skills you can put on your party and elemental weakness, since enemies can gain more turns from them like you could. Which in IV is very lethal with Smirk thrown in

>>387709434
Do all the subquests to get rewards and experience, savescum and leave to recover a lot, and remember IV's difficulty curve is ass-backwards.

>>387709354
So because the visuals are minimal the combat isn't a large part of the game?

>>387708856

It's a more focused game and has better mechanics overall. SMTIV was amazing the first time around but its heavily dependant on atmosphere and mystery. The second playthrough exposes a lot of the game's flaws, especially that dumb sidequest hunt at the end of the neutral route. The whole last third of SMT:4 after the allignment lock feels a bit hollow, unlike SMT:4:A which keeps a consistent pace and has a driving force in the story moving things along instead of just stumbling in the dark.

>>387709543
I think Persona 3 is more fun than 4 since your party acts on its own. I should've played Persona 5 that way but it would've been a nightmare.

>>387704605
I finished my first playthrough a few months ago.

Kinda disappointed that the good ending is considered bad for some reason

>>387704605
How many other SMT games had you played before this one?

>>387709914
>taking the Lawpill

>>387709825
glad I'm not the only one who thinks the game really started to drag after the lock
