I think the issue people have with Monsanto is the suspicion that their plants have nasty side effects, like producing pesticides that kill bees, weeds that are resistant to all poisons except Monsanto's, etc. All genuine fears if it's real, but I trust the documentaries about as much as Monsanto. I'd much prefer if it turned out the plants were part of a great demon hivemind.

The actual risk associated with GMO plants is that changing one section of genetic code can have tiny unknown side effects that could prove harmful in the long run. I'm thinking apple seeds with more cyanide in them over time, tomatoes that produce nicotine in the fruit and not just the leaves, so on and so forth.

Freemasons, Illuminati, and Sufis would all be cool narrative additions to have before the apocalypse kicks into gear. Maybe add in some Hare Krishnas and even some SubGeniuses for good measure. I'm pretty sure Ivan Stang, founder of the Church of the Subgenius, lives within walking distance of me.

Why does it seem that there is zero hype for Apocalypse? Were people dissapointed by spoilers? Or maybe people are more interested in P5? I've just realized that after Atlus release P5 in September, they will have zero announced games on their schedule.

>>
>>148644862
I'm looking forward to it, but it's not too much different from smt 4 and probably 80% of smt players care more about p5.
>>
>>148648924
I don't care about P5 at all. Couldn't even finish P4 and considering how successful that was I'm pretty sure 5 will be more of that.
>>
>>148644862
I'm more excited for EOV than SMTIV:A or P5
>>
>>148648924
I really don't care about P5. Not all that hyped for Apocalypse either though because of the spoilers. I'm willing to bet the people most hyped fled the general to avoid being spoiled.
>>
>>148649337
And they'll probably be disappointed as fuck. You know what to expect at least.
>>
>>148649105
It has handcrafted dungeons, demons as enemies and is bringing back skills from Persona 1/Raidou games so it's looking more promising than SMT IV in a lot of ways.
>>

>>
>>148644862

I'm really excited for it because IV was my first SMT and I just beat it like, last week, so more of that seems great. My only reservations are that a plucky teenager seems like a much worse protagonist than a stoic foreign samurai and that I can't seem to fidn any description of what the routes are, since I know it doesn't have the same Law/Chaos.

Also; is Strnge Journey worth playing if IV was a little tough for me and I care more about story than gameplay?
>>
>>148649105
>>148649337
We're in a smtg specific general though, and if you look at the "general smt community" (aka their shitty subreddit) it's mostly persona shit.

Also, I was avoiding here because of spoilers but I already had a few endgame stuff spoiled by looking up a demon's stats for smt4 in the wiki, so here I am.
>>
>>148648924

I've literally never played a Persona game before and I'm hype for P5 based almost exclusively on how good the soundtrack seems.
>>
>>148649973
Strange Journey's story is fine. Much different setting than any other Megaten, and arguably much better alignment representatives than Walter and Jonathan. Bosses are really memorable too.

Keep in mind it has actual dungeons compared to SMT IV's shitty Persona hallways, and the battle system is weirder so you might have quite a tough time. But definitely try.
>>
>>148649973
>I can't seem to fidn any description of what the routes are, since I know it doesn't have the same Law/Chaos
Do you mean how the ending cutscenes play out or what you actually do as the player? Because if it's the cutscenes and actual results Law/Chaos are basically the same as IV's with minor revisions.

Also SJ is great. Second favorite to IV, only really brought down by its shitty battle system and demon source mechanic if you ask me. Dungeons are way better than IV's hallways.
>>
>>148650590

Is the whole Anarchy/Peace thing an alignment like Law/Chaos was in IV, or is it just a choice you make?
>>
>>148651087
All routes are basically determined by a choice to roll with the demonic rep or not. Rejecting each one either puts you on Danu's or Dagda's. Forget which.
>>
>>148651506

So you don't need to keep track of your stupid points again?
>>
>>148651870
Not unless you care about a minor extra challenge for the main routes. I get that a lot of you like that you don't need to worry about fucking up, but this also means most of your choices don't really matter. To me that's a pretty big bummer.
>>
>>148652128
My problem with IV system is that it assumes too much about your character based on those choices.
Why does being polite,kind and merciful means that I want to go commit a genocide based on nothing but a say-so of some arrogant angel? Why does being a ruthless asshole means I want to join my enemy and burn down my hometown for no reason?
Your personality does not define your beliefs or what you believe is right.

>>148652128

From a design standpoint, I'd prefer that every decision came with a benefit and a drawback, in the short term and long term. Help one faction out and get an exclusive weapon right off the bat, then towards the end game get a different event with the faction you helped or get attacked by the guys you pissed off. The alignment system is OK, but Ogre Battle 64 did it a little better where certain allies would only join you permanently if you were above or below a certain alignment value at key events.

I hate getting locked out of shit though, or having events that disappear after a certain point. I'd really like to be able to go back and explore for stuff I missed. I'm looking at you, Arc the Lad I and your bullshit requirements for getting the infinite MP item.

This is so true.

SMTIV was my fist mainline game, and I didn't really know anything about alignments and such, and just played it like I would any other JRPG, being super kind to everyone, helping people out and generally just being a massive moralfag.

Of course I ended up on the Law route.

>mfw
>>
>>148652887
While that's true, it pisses me off that instead of actually trying to address the flaws of the alignment system, they scrapped it entirely. I'd take a poorly thought out system of consequences over none at all.

As of DDS1: one-dimensional characters, elementary puzzles, minimal dialogue, lazy soundtrack (subjective), standard fare combat, copious plot devices. The battle royale and castle segments were especially trite, unless the latter was intentionally some Silent Hill homage or what have you.

They aren't heinous crimes per se but in conjunction they come off as lazy and plastic.

Honestly, DDS2 kinda plunges in quality around 2 thirds in and the whole ending feels rushed and non satisfying at all. The bosses and stuff is excellent though.

And then gives a fucking "lol morals and peace" ending that's 3 minutes long. It was really disappointing.

We had a great discussion about this a few threads back. Satan is supposed to be God's helper angel that exists to tempt men, like Job. A different text suggests that Mastema was the angel in this case as well. Lucifer is a more modern invention and is largely a mistranslation of a some Persian or Babylonian king. There's a lot more to it but Lucifer, Satan, and Beelzebub are all supposed to be very separate entities.

By the way, Pascal the Dog is here.

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Christian philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method.

It might actually be cheaper to import some hardware, then. I'm sure with some proper verification and negotiation someone here could hook you up. I wouldn't mind.

Dreamcast emulation is far from perfect. You're going to run into weird things like glitched voices here and there. Stuff like that will be worse if the ISO is damaged in any way too. Dreamcasts are pretty cheap and the mod chips are easy to install. Of course, you can always play the US version with the awkward dub and censorship. If you can get a burnable copy of the game too all you have to do is apply a region mod to the ISO before you burn it. All routes are pretty easy overall even for beginners with a little bit of help. Dreamcasts output VGA (analog, not digital, so be warned if you can only run DVI-D or HDMI) natively, and RGB SCART, composite video, and S-Video as acceptable outputs.

Of course, I understand if you're operating on a budget or can't accommodate the correct monitor or space for another console. I only say to get the hee-hell out in jest.

No problem. Brand new US Maken X is $20 on eBay, Japanese new is $25. So getting an actual copy is pretty easy. I Googled around for the ISO and is 667 MB, which should fit on a 700 MB CD-ROM if you want to go that route.

Does Nocturne have a good story?

>>
>>148688241
SMT1. Been meaning to replay MT2 though - never beat it the first time around, seems like it could beat it out.
>>
>>148694618
for the record, the ISO is fucked I'm pretty sure. if it's the one that I'm thinking of, was a really shittily done compression job where they cut out a lot of music and audio. it's better to just purchase the game though it's not all that great anyways
>>
>>148711106
Nocturne barely has a story at all, and you aren't going to find a compelling plot in any SMT game. Play something like Digital Devil Saga or Persona if you want that.
>>
>>148711106
probably not in the sense you're thinking

SMT's more about the journey and experience. The stories are heavily gamified and focused around the actions that you take as you progress through and explore a world. There's a lot of backstory and other characters, but it relies heavily on player input and imagination to fill in blanks. Especially 1 and Nocturne.

Basically, they're role playing games in a more literal sense than people who ask about "good stories" are use to. Think more along the lines of how Dragon Quest stories play out, just more fucked up and with decisions.

That aside, I think 1 and 3 have very very good stories. 4's story is pretty aight but a bit bland at times and rushed to hell towards the end, 2's varies between genius and dogshit constantly. 1 and 3 are more about story through experience as I discussed earlier, 2 and 4 have heavier narratives. If you want a more typical JRPG story experience, the Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, and Digital Devil Saga games are all pretty decent. I personally think Devil Survivor 1 or Soul Hackers are your best bets for that, but a lot of people really dig Digital Devil Saga.
>>
>>148714339
SMT 3's story concept is fantastic, practically the opposite of what you expect of a JRPG. But there's very little actually there. It's still enjoyable though.
>>
>>148714578
Yeah, I always find it really weird to talk about SMT3's story being "good" or whatever for that reason. Trying to classify it like that really brings out how subjective any basis for "objective" criteria of a good story is. I think it's excellent because it provides a fantastic experience - enough backstory to leave you constantly thinking about it as you play but subtle enough to let the worldbuilding do a lot of the work - but I know some people expect a good story to contain more in the way of twists, growth, and general presence.

How could this be a major flaw for anyone? It removed the demons' uniqueness, yeah, but it is miles better than rolling skills in a fusion chamber for hours, or just plain losing 80% or all the skills from your previous demons.

And I'm ok with those systems as well, but being able to pick the exact skills you want is a god-send and very fun if you aim to make specific builds.

>And constant ambushes thanks to enemy sprites spawning right below Flynn's feet.
Constant is kind of an overstatement. And enemy ambushes are not exclusive to IV.

Persona is a criminally underrated game. I played through both the SEBEC and Snow Queen routes (by the way, just think about how amazing that is: a game that is already pretty long having an entire, 20+ hours alternate route with it's own story, dungeons, bosses, music and cutscenes; this kind of thing sounds unthinkable nowadays) for the first time fairly recently and I want to play it again already. The story is a wild ride and the psychological emphasis is genuinely interesting (and sometimes unsetling, especially if you consider the original soundtrack), it has a rather lovable cast of characters and the atmosphere is pretty unique. I agree about the combat being kinda janky, but I still think it was done better than in SMT I and II (I can't speak for If), which are the rpg Megaten games that were out at the time, and it does hold the honor of having the most satisfying guns in the series. It is kind of turning into my favorite Megaten over time.

>>148753920
GOLD's boss is this game's casual filter, IMO. I believe that rather than grinding XP you should go to the Velvet Room and get yourself a new set of Personas (but whatever you do, don't get rid of Maya's persona, as she is still is useful and can mutate into a really useful persona if you portray her as a compassionate person) and go raise their ranks in the dungeon. Try to think of a setup that would allow you to beat the boss more easily by exploiting her weakness with fusion spells. The next dungeons are much more manageable because you will have more than 3 characters with you.

Spoiling P4 has become kind of a meme at this point.

All is I can really say is that there's a little more to the mystery than what you've probably heard, but it's up to you if you're enjoying the game enough to keep going anyway.

A bunch of nerdy kids solve mysteries with a talking animal and unmask the villain.

There was even that cartoon a few years back of Scooby Doo where they tried to solve the mysteries of things, Scooby Doo and other talking animals are descended from transdimensional Ayy Lmao, and a evil Parrot becomes Parrot Cthulhu.
>>
>>148769151
I thought it was really common to have stories like that, like magical girls stories for example, so I never thought about Scooby Doo in particular while playing p4. I immediaty thought about Yu Yu Hakusho because at the time I didn't read or watch Jojo yet.

I think you might like P1 and P2, actually, as they kinda have that 90's anime feel to them. Innocent Sin in particular starts with you being challenged to a fight by a goofy delinquent kid from another school, shit has Yu Yu Hakusho written all over it.

Persona 3 might be easier to get into, though, so you could start there if you want.

Cthulhu has been turning talking animals evil and murdering mystery gangs for thousands of years.

Yu Yu Hakusho never came to mind to be honest. Would be cool to see a Persona game as messed up Hunter x Hunter's world.

Also that time Scooby and Shaggy let the demons out and had to seal them away.

I feel like I need to take a break but when I'm not playing SMT1 I feel like I should be, but as soon as I get past one major event I feel mentally exhausted, which sucks as I just got the heroine in my party after the other two dudes left.

I'm not sure. I love the music, the general design of the world and the plot but the writing itself and the game mechanics are kinda meh. They should have just made it a VN instead of slapping a barebones alchemy system and a terrible equipment system. The combat is actually kinda fun but easy as fuck and stale. I would love for them to use it in a more refined way someday. Either way, I got it for like 15€ one month after it released on the PS3 so it's not like I was expecting much.

People generally didn't like how the story shafts the whole choice aspect of the series, making the true friendship stuff the obvious main narrative and everything else random divergences.

Also, the amount of new content is fairly disappointing. They fixed Tokyo's overworld, but there's no new overworld, only one new city district and 4 real new dungeons (+ one that's basically a giant domain). They also claimed that the game would have the biggest amount of demons in the series, but it actually has less demons than SMTIV, since there aren't as many new Doi demons as the removed guest designs from SMTIV, and they only brought back one or two Kaneko designs.

I was really hyped too but now I care less because I don't have a PS3 or a PS4 yet, and Atlus just kept us waiting for so long I ended up forgetting about it. I'm a bit disappointed about some of the new revelations, I was expecting less party members (so better character development like in P2) and the whole thing with a pretty boy detective being an antagonist or just a rival makes me think way too much about Naoto and P4 in general. Maybe these things will be just like P4 but better/with less wasted potential. The gameplay seems really great though.

I don't think anyone here would make fun of you for that. Personally, I am cautiously excited for it; I love Persona 1-3 a lot but the most mediocre one having become so popular makes me afraid that they would try to make this game more like it.

From what they have shown so far, a lot of things look really cool (handcrafted dungeons, demons are back, smooth jazz ost, GUNS!!!), but a lot of things also give me Persona 4 PTSD flashbacks (talking animal mascot, androgynous kid detective guy, and seemingly a single character being the focus of each dungeon, which in P4 meant they they got all of their development at once and them stayed the same for the rest of the game).

There's also the fact that I'm not buying a console for a single game, even if it's Persona.

Why? It looks okay. I'm only going to be upset when they inevitably announce Ashely Burch as a main party member, or say they tried to get dual audio (they didn't) and failed (obviously).

This was mildly annoying in EP where they probably should have let you recruit Elly/Nanjo much earlier and I think it was ok in P3 because it's such a long game that you still have a lot of time to use even the late joiners, but man was it bad in P4. I'm pretty sure most players didn't even bother to try using Naoto.

Aigis is the last party member you get right? I guess it wasn't that bad in P3 but it was horrible in P4. And the way you meet most of them was so repetitive and boring, they disappear, you go into their lame dungeons, save them before a certain date, shadow fight and we're all best buddies.

Aigis joins pretty early actually (and by early I mean like 20 or so hours in). You still get Koro-chan, Ken and Shinji after that. Fuck, that game is long.

Another problem I have with how this is done is that you're kind of forced to take a healer with you. In P1 and P2 you have full party customization so you can just slap a healing persona on someone and switch when needed, but in P3 and P4 you have characters dedicated to healing, and it feels like Atlus made a point of making sure those are the most annoying characters in the game as well, wich coupled with a reduced party size means you can't even use your favorites.

IMO they should let everyone switch personas again and bring back stat distribution, but that is never going to happen.

At least Persona 4 (Golden) gave you a good but of customisation for party members. You can choose whether they learn certain skills, and they get extra skills through social links and bike rides, as well as when they get their next tier Persona's. It's not quite P1/P2 level, but it's a good step in the right direction.

You can always keep a healslut Persona with you, I always used party members that weren't healers (Aigis, Akihiko and Koro-chan best party) and did just fine. Both Aigis and Akihiko had Diarahan if memory doesn't fail me but they almost never used it even when someone was about to die, they'd rather use buffs/debuffs.

It feels overlong and most of the game is spent waiting on and trying to find Yatsuya. He gives you his reasons for not telling you what happens if he tells you what's going on, but the game seems to gloss over the consequence he just said. The ending is very underwhelming and seems to come a bit out of nowhere. The shadow selves seemed a bit forced, much more than IS.
I could go on but my internet is being shit and text is lagging behind. I still think it's good, but I would sort of say story wise IS >> EP > P4 (>rest) if that makes sense.

Character wise they are all pretty average, except for Baofu. He is quality, one of the best in the series. Without him the game would be much worse

Spoiling the fuck outta Persona 2 ahead, you have been warned.

Well, the consequences of remembering the other world are kind of reflected on Nyarlathotep becoming stronger in game, which is why you're not supposed to let anyone other than Maya find out about it. Personally, I thought that Katsuya was really well done as well, as his interactions with the other characters really show how much of a cool guy he actually is and distances him from the 'serious cop' persona he has on the beginning. The talks between him, Tatsuya and Baofu about what it means to be an adult really captured the theme of the game for me. Probably the weakest character was Ulala, as I felt that she really didn't get over her issues. Sure, Baofu is not gonna scam her like the other guys she got together with, but she didn't really grow as a person because of it.

Comparatively, I thought IS was pretty weak. The only character who was handled really well IMO was Eikichi, who is a total baller. Lisa just gets a dump of information about these bad things she did that don't even get mentioned before. Hell, they even pull the "we used to know each other as kids but forgot about it" thing that FF8 gets made fun of for and give even less justification for it.

I agree with you about Baofu being quality. Too bad Persona is all about animu tropes now and we will probably never get another character as cool as him.
>>
>>148879194
What makes the characters in IS worthwhile is their interactions though. Sure, it's not P4 level, but IS had a cast of characters that had chemistry. The issue with EP is
The interactions between characters are pretty weak, except for when Baofu is involved. His interactions with Ulala and Katsuya were good, they were entertaining and also had a bit of drama.

Ekichi is my second favourite character in the series, so I won't disagree with you there. I really liked Maya as well though. The thing about the P1/P2 characters is that they don't get a lot of buildup to their issues, and their resolve is pretty quic. Love them or hate them, P3 and P4 managed to have a buildup and resolution because of the social links. Not to say I think P3 and P4 (well certainly not P3) had every party member being much better than the older party members, but I think they helped give them more substance.

Personally, the only characters to really write home about from the older games are Nanjo, Ekichi, Maya, Baofu and to an extent Erika. In saying that, they would be near the top of my favourite character list.

To try and bring this back on track though, I thought Katsuya was alright, but he had a massive out of character moment, and it made the rest of the cast seem out of place as well. When you rescue that young friend of Anna who became a Joker, you just let her go. This girl pretty much murdered people, and a copy doesn't bat an eye. Baofu may have been justified by being indifferent, but what the hell were the rest of the cast thinking?


We probably won't get a character like Baofu again, but we could still get good characters. Adachi is a prime example, though I'm not convinced by P5 yet.

I had totally forgotten about the Noriko thing. I guess the reasoning behind it is that a young girl invoking a curse to kill someone really isn't a regular crime and it's clear that the police wouldn't do anything about it, so going after the 'real' culprit, Joker, makes more sense. Still, you would think that Katsuya would be much more bothered by it, considering how lawful he is at that point. By the way, Eriko's dungeon was really well done too now that i think about it, it really reinforces her status as best girl. Haven't done Nanjo's route yet. And I would add Maki to your list.

I can see what you mean about character interactions, and I think that's one of the reasons why so many people like Persona 4, but for me that doesn't replace strong drama, themes and character development. My favorite in the series is actually Persona 3 (no bully please), and, for all that game did wrong, I think they really did a great job with many of the characters in that game, in particular Aigis, Aki and Junpei. All of these have character arcs that revolve around them meeting someone that really changes their view of their world, and them losing these people and needing to learn to grow as a person and cope with it, which reinforces the main theme of the game. And yet, so many people criticize that game because comparatively it lacks fun character interaction. In fact, much of the interaction they have is actually negative and stressful, but I think that hammers in that living with different people forces them to become better persons.

>Memory loss
Traumatic events and rumors rewriting reality because of a tentacle monster does that to people.

Having the kids spread rumors of them not being in the Masked Circle was to avoid actually being brainwashed by a rumor into joining the cult.

The whole Summons eating people's memories should have had more focus in FF8.
>>
>>148886445
I think it makes sense that Jun would forget what really happened, considering he was being directly being manipulated by the crawling chaos, but what about the other kids? Was there some rumor being spread that led them to this that I'm forgetting about? Memories being repressed by severe trauma can happen, but it felt way too convenient to me in the way it's done in the game.
>>
>>148887329
It's both. Trauma and rumors flying around messing with them.

Jun remembered most of it but had it twisted by Nyarly, turning a group he formed to make the wishes of others a reality to a doomsday cult with revenge as an objective.

Even Tatsuya being good with mortorcycles is the product of people spreading rumors about him around school.
>>
>>148884618
Maki is alright. At least she is really focused on, you can't say that about many characters in the Persona series. Certainly not to her extent.

I won't bully, but if I hear any shit like "P4 had no character development, not like P3" I'll knock your teeth in and steal your lunch money.

The dynamic of the P3 cast is suitably different from the rest of the series. I personally prefer the IS/P4 dynamic because they actually act their age. The P3 cast had Junpei and Yukari who acted their age, but then you get Mitsuru and Akihiko (who I did like tbf). I just think if you're going to make characters high school students, write them as high school students. P3 really is the outlier of the series, and it amazes me when people say P4 strayed away from the series roots/all future games should be like it. I'd be up for a series that is similar to P3, it's just not what I think of when I think Persona. In saying that I still think FES I'd the third best Persona game, just don't get me started on P3P.

I think Aigis is a very generic character who I didn't care for at all. That is until her social link, which gave me a reason to keep going after that terrible December period. It fits in very well with main story, and I'd say makes the ending more impactful.

Is Phys MC in Desu OC really that bad? I just got to the 4th day and i've been doing phys stuff. Is it also bad in record breaker?
>>
>>148879194
I think we will get interesting characters in Persona 5, I hope they won't be shitty anime stereotypes like in all the p4 spin offs and Golden but I felt like the real problem in p4 itself was that Atlus rushed the development of the game so there was a lot of wasted potential in terms of story and character development. I'm still disappointed that Teddie didn't have more revelations and stuff about him, he's definitely one of the biggest offenders because of how his identity was handled.
>>
>>148888707
Atsuro covers the base well enough and the MC can max his magic and use drain/holy dance to kill 99% of the shit in the game.

I think DeSu2 is a little bit more balanced in that regard to the MC's build.
>>
>>148888707
Phys is only amazing if you go phys/agi for Multistrike. It has the highest potential damage output, but also fucks you over when you start getting Phys repel demons out the ass on 7th/8th days. Magic is the most well-rounded, with Holy Dance being incredibly OP.

I think when people say that P4 is different they are talking mostly about tone and theming. It does have it's share of dark moments, but most of the time it's about having fun and issues generally get resolved much faster in comparison with the rest of the series. Innocent Sin really is closest to it in this respect, which might be because they wanted to make a bigger impact by having a really dark ending and them changing the mood entirely in EP.

What I personally dislike about the character development in that game (it is there, please don't take my macca senpai) is that it is way too formulaic (character disappears, go to dungeon, they reject shadow, beat shadow up, now they suddenly acept the shadow as being part of them, get persona, etc), and that afterwards most of their development happens during their social link, which, being totally optional, means they won't really change how these characters act in the main story. For an example, it was really neat to see Kanji learn that doing art can be manly, but that sort of thing shouldn't be optional. Another thing I don't really like is how everyone kinda becomes way to friendly way too quickly after they join the party. Even IS had Eikichi and Lisa quarrelling through most of the game.

As for the characters not acting their age in P3, I think that is on purpose, because unlike the other characters, Mitsuru, Akihiko and Shinjiro have been persona users for years and were forced by their situation to become adults before their time. I think Tatsuya in EP is probably an exemple of this being done better, but you gotta keep in mind that these characters have been at it for more time than him.

That is, if we do get a SMT on consoles. It would be a real waste if they didn't use all these new assets for one, but in the end I guess it depends on whether they think it would sell well enough to justify it being made.

Don't worry, man, pretty much all the japanese devs are abandoning consoles and jumping to PC/STEAM gaming, today we just got EDF 4.1, a game that Sony fans were claiming that was exclusive. The fact is that recently japanese games are selling way more on PC/STEAM than on consoles.

Atlus is a little late to the party, but soon they will start porting all of their games to PC/STEAM, it's something inevitable at this point. Also, remember that Sega owns Atlus and they stated that they starting porting all of their games to PC/STEAM since consoles doesn't give as much profit, so Atlus games are right around the corner and soon we will be able to play SMT games at 4k resolution and 60 frames per second, something that could never be done on a console limited hardware.

>Yes, I even mean the Gauntlet clones for the ancient awkward Japanese computers.
same

And Giten ran me about $100. I nabbed it on Ebay recently - actually one of the best prices I've found for it. I don't do much collecting anymore but I've had an eye out for a (comparatively) reasonably priced copy of it for a year or two now.

I'd recommend playing around with hex for a bit - it's pretty fun to fuck around with! You learn a lot just by working through some really basic, entry level problems. I'm interested in hacking the mobile games too but I've never been able to find an upload of them, none the less a way to emulate them.

If you can into Japanese, play the PS versions (be sure to get the bug fix version of SMT2 with the golden PRESS ANY BUTTON text on the title screen). If not, there are translation patches for SFC versions and official translation of SMT1 for iOS.

World of Speed.
Buy Nerve Bullets or Magic Bullets / Randi Shots as soon as you can.
Have at least one demon with Tarukaja for boss fights.

Win Cat o'Nine Tails in Valhalla's casino for Hiroko (Keno is the easiest game to win lots of coins).
Have at least 10 Magic on your protagonist for Dancing Furiously.

That's true. Even buying a drink on Full Moon and using Toraport doesn't help, because your stats reset after moving a single tile.

>>148920743
Also, forgot to mention - if you're playing the SFC version of SMT2 and want to take on the bonus dungeons after the main game, make a save file before the point of no return and dump every Incense you will find into Aleph (yes, even Magic Incenses). There are doors which check your base stats, and if your base stats aren't high enough (20 Luck, 25 Strength, etc), you won't be able enter. In the PS version you have to clear the game once and start a NG+ save file to get to Kongokai.

Don't fall for the STR/VIT meme in SMT I, go VIT/SPD instead and don't touch STR until you have those two almost maxed. STR is a bit better in II because it always gives you health.

>I think when people say that P4 is different they are talking mostly about tone and theming
Exactly. If people think P4 is vastly different to the rest of the series, they obviously haven't played the original games.

P1 had no tone. Not much dark stuff happened, there were lighthearted cop-outs and a few jokes. IS had some very dark moments, but it also had a lot of lightheartedness moments, so anime and outlandish they put P4 to shame. EP also had a lot of lighthearted moments, but not as many as IS. P3 is the only Persona game that seemed to properly set out to appear 'dark', even when the dark events weren't much more dark than what the rest of the game have. P4 is very lighthearted, and also has a lot of darkness, but the darkness isn't obvious to go along with the idea that fog obscures the truth.

Theme wise P4 has more in common with the older games than P3. Shadow selves are a major part of P1, and a bit less so in IS and EP. P4 is based around the collective unconscious, a key aspects of P2 (in fact Izanami's presence could really easily be linked to Nyarl's absence with one line from Atlus). P3 doesn't have the shadow selves and it does deal a bit with the collective unconscious, but not until the very end.

I actually liked the theme of P3 the best in the series, it's the one (maybe 2) things it does the best. It's very different to what the other games do though.

You see it would've been preferable to have the social link development carry over to the story, that is the ideal. It's a stupid complaint for P4 though, and I feel the people that make it don't understand the character development. In the social links get characters decide what they're going to do with their future, it's not an immediate change. How can that be implemented into the main story? Hopefully P5 will write characters so this can happen, but with P4 the characters development would've needed to be changed for it to work.
>>
>>148972680
I agree that P2 IS had some stereotypical anime things in it but in P4 it's not really done the same way. P2 has some short scenes that are like that, like when Eikichi and Lisa yell at each other and other jokes, but in P4 it's more pronounced. The beginning and the end of the story are dark and serious and all, and then you have typical beach episode, winter holiday episode (in P4G), hot spring episode(s), etc. that are much longer and happen in the middle of more relevant things. Personally it's more the pacing of the story than the fanservice scenes that bothered me in P4, especially because I cared more about the murder mystery than about the "ordinary high school students" parts of the game. At least some similar things happen in the drama CD of P2.

>How can that be implemented into the main story?
Regardless of how hard it is to do, you have to admit that it's pretty weird when one character act like a complete idiot in the main story when 5 minutes ago in their social link they're supposed to be more mature after the character development.

>P1 had no tone. Not much dark stuff happened, there were lighthearted cop-outs and a few jokes.
I feel like you're refering to mood, rather than tone. To me, Persona 1 lost a lot of it's atmosphere on the PSP port, by changing the music. I think that game was supposed to be an exploration of the human psyche, which is why the games focuses so hard on Maki. It is not really supposed to be dark as much as it's weird and unsettling. Saying that it has no mood would be just wrong, as the atmosphere it creates is really unique and sets it apart from the rest of the series (and genre) pretty well.

>IS had some very dark moments, but it also had a lot of lightheartedness moments, so anime and outlandish they put P4 to shame. EP also had a lot of lighthearted moments, but not as many as IS
The thing about the wacky and outlandish things going on in IS is that the game is making fun of 90's Japan's conspiracy theories and outlandish new age religions. That is the tone it's setting up: social satire. A lot of it is lost in translation, unfortunately. Now, notice that wackyness for the sake of social satire is very different from simple shonen animu shenanigans. EP keeps those themes (remember all of the dragon horoscope bullshit? yeah), but also makes it much darker in mood. Fuck, it's a game about how Tatsuya not being able to give up his bond with his friends fucks up the world. That's like the opposite of P4. Having lighthearted moments helps break the tension and makes you care more for the cast, but it doesn't mean that it's not a dark game.

Also, you're forgetting that Persona 3 is very much connected to P1, as it continues the Snow Queen arc. And I don't see why you would think that it's any darker than the other games in the series; it has about as much lighthearted stuff as P2 does, if not more (pic related), and you seem to think that this defines the mood of the game. The mensage of the game is outright positive too; it's not so much a game about death as it is a game about accepting your mortality, making the best of the time you have have and becoming a better person for it.

The thing with the character development in P4 is that it's done way to fast, and they don't change enough for the rest of the game. Just imagine if immediatly after Baofu joined in EP you had to fight Reverse Odisseus and he immediatly got over his partner's death afterwards, like it happens with Yosuke;kinda takes the impact a little, you know?. The problem with they just planning to change in the future is that you never get to see the result of their resolve; this is not ok for a character driven story.

>>
>>148975179
My phone fucked up, so here's a quick reply. The issue is the calender system. They added more events in P4 than there were in P3 because P3 also had the pacing issues. Whether the events are good or bad are up for debate, but the calender system is the issue - not the anime stuff.

There is plenty of anime stuff in P4, but I've always thought the characters acted pretty relatable. Wacky anime shit aside, I could see myself acting that way with my friends when I was in school.

It's a bit weird the characters acting less mature, but people saying P4 characters don't develop leave me amazed. Have they played the game? Did they understand the conclusions reached by the end of the social links? I guarantee the people that claim there's no development think Izanami is the villain.

>>148978823
Same issue with my phone. Maybe I phrased it badly. Persona 1 has a few dark stuff (like Pandora for example) but it has less darkness than what P4 blatantly has, not even going into the subtle stuff.

Is that a bad thing? No. It is however very relevant when people act like P4 is an outlier of the series. I wish my phone didn't fuck up, I went into more detail - thankfully the next post had been saved.

>>
>>148979675
The soundtrack of the PSP version doesn't help, but when it comes to actual content Persona 1 doesn't have a lot of darkness going on. Not to say that's bad, but it's very relevant when people act like P4 is somehow an outlier of the series.

I'm sure there is stuff like what you're describing with the P2 satire, but I was more talking about the multiple mid-dungeon arguments with Eikichi and Lisa, the two detectives entering a burning building filled with kids dressed as superheroes, the Latsuya getting caught looking at a porn magazine, Baofu and Ulala getting drunk etc.

I'm not arguing P2 isn't dark, it's the darkest in the Persona series. It just so happens to also be incredibly lighthearted and wacky.

The thing with Tatsuya is another thing that annoys me. People act like P4 is out of place with the bond stuff, but lines in P4 are straight out of P1. Not only that, EP is literally about Tatsuya causing the end of a second world because he won't let go of his bonds


It's absurd how people act like P4 is so different to the others. It just makes me wonder if the people saying this have actually played the older games, or are just trying to be edgy.


I don't think P3 is the darkest, I think it has more of a focus on a dark tone than the others. I thought I said it doesn't reach the dark moments of P2, and some of the P4 moments for that matter.

It doesn't really contunue the Snow Queen arc. Thanks to the shit P3 club book, the Nyx of P3 is pretty much completely different to the 'Nyx' of P1.

I agree it's disappointing the development is for the future. But it happens slower than most development in P3, when there is development to begin with. I'm pointing out the idea that P4 has no character development is bullshit.

As I said I think Baofu is top tier. The thing is, he's not representative of the older Persona characters either. This is how I'd put it

Adachi > Great old characters > New characters > other old characters.
>>
>>148983589
I'm not 100% keeping up with the discussion but I think the idea of darkness is overplayed with regards to Persona. It's always been over the top and silly, but that doesn't prevent it from being able to tackle more mature topics sometimes. Darkness isn't the central focus or the thing that is always needed to push that maturity to the surface.

Similarly I agree with Yamai that 'bitterness' should generally be one of the key focuses of SMT, it just so happens that killing your friends and apocalypses and such are easy ways to invoke that bitterness, and introducing loveable characters and goofy moments tend to detract from it easily. But they're just means to an end ultimately.

>>148983589
I'm just gonna come here and say the the Nyx in P1 is just an intepretation of the Nyx from P3 born from the collective unconscious. Like, she is just mankind trying to make sense of what Nyx is and picturing her as an creator goddess, and that is pretty much how all demons and gods are born on this universe. Kinda like Kagutsuchi and YHVH are both interpretations of a patriarcal creator god. That being said, both Night Queens wanted pretty much the same thing, which is bring forth eternal night to people that give into despair.

Anyways, it was fun discussing with you but I gotta go do some stuff for college now. I don't think Persona 4 is the worst thing to ever happen, by the way; I just think it's kinda mediocre and i dislike that it became the face of the series, that is all.

You just gotta deal with it with the older games, senpai. I had a lot of trouble playing the SMT I for the first time because I have next to none spatial intelligence/awareness. I almost gave up at Ginza, actually. You do get more used to it over time, and SMT II makes it a bit easier by letting you bring up the map by pressing a button, so you don't have to deal with the UI. Also, try casting Mappara, that usually helps.

As for where to begin in the series, I think SMT I is a good place if you're into older dungeon-crawlers, so I would stick with it if you're having fun. Generally people start with more recent games, like SMT4, Nocturne or one of the PS2 spin-offs (Persona 3, Digital Devil Saga, etc.), though.

Careful, you might trigger grafixfags. You're right though. Handhelds are comfier and also make playing long games much easier since you can work on them on the go.
>>
>>148644862
It's old news, we already know from reports (and moonrune readers) that it's nothing important, that gameplay = SMTIV: play it again edition, that previous protags are used for a stupid throwaway rather than interesting plot points involving series canon.

There is zero hype for Apocalypse because there's nothing hype about it

Alignment system peaked in II, SMTIV is its lowest point in the entire series. The only time the system is compelling at all is when your route still feels enough like doing the right thing up until the very end, the law route in II is absolutely fucking heinous, but makes you feel like you're at least trying to do the right thing even when things get fucked.

How alignments in Final actually work? Is this all about grinding invisible point all over again, or you straight up choosing your route at some point of the game at once?
>>
>>149018628
That's talking about the route itself, and not the system that places you on it. IV's endings didn't bother me aside from neutral.
>>
>>149018628

I chose the White route and felt more justified after each other route I beat. They're all pretty bad.

I love playing the evil authoritarian dickbags (the Templar choices in Dragon Age 2 make the game an absolute blast because you're just enslaving and murdering people), but Law in IV was so lame.

I've never seen that glitch pop up when we debugged SMT1.
Maybe you can try looking up a code for SMT1 to change your alignment to neutral, then back to chaos?

Wait really? Darklords are getting more support, aside from Lucifer?
>>
>>149066776
Darklord Mastema
Dark/Fairy/7/ATK2600/DEF2600
You can only Special Summon “Darklord Mastema”(s) once per turn. You can only use the (2) effect of “Darklord Mastema” once per turn.
(1): If this card is in your hand: You can discard 2 other “Darklord” or “Fallen One” monsters; Special Summon this card.
(2): During either player’s turn: You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 “Darklord” Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard; this effect becomes that target’s effect when that card is activated, then shuffle that target into the Deck.

Darklord Kaidan (name to be updated)
Normal Spell
You can only activate 1 “Darklord Kaidan” per turn.
(1): Special Summon 1 “Darklord” or “Fallen One” monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position.

Allure of Darklord
Normal Trap
(1): Send 1 “Darklord” or “Fallen One” monster from your hand or face up from your field to the Graveyard; take control of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls until the End Phase.

I'm really liking this support. Too bad that's the last of it.

MegaTen TCG reboot when?

If I pick "I don't know" in SMT4, is that neutral? Is that shit tedious? I heard you have to do a bunch of boring side shit in it.

I'm assuming you played the game on PCSX2
>go to config->memory cards in PCSX2

You'll have to find out the ID for DDS first to find it. Should be something like SLUS-[numbers].

Pretty sure the SMT IV Final devs said they were going to start working on a new game once Final was finished, so it is probably in early development now.

SMT V for mobile phones in 2018. Trust me, Kaneko is my cool uncle that I only see in Christmas.
