I wanna play the version with most content and I like to own my megumi tennis games physically.

What I find curious is that this OST seems to be a lot better than the one of DeSu1, but I rarely see anyone bring it up.
It reminds me of the OST of Mega Man X games and other SNES RPGs, which gives me this feel of nostalgia and hype.

So buying Shin Megami Tensei IV, Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, and all of the DLC for both games costs exactly $130.18 dollars. Is it worth it?

>>151706852
Not even close.

>>151706852
The DLC is not worth it.
Get the protags fanservice DLC if you actually played SMT and SMT2. Otherwise it is not an obligatory buy.

The games are worth the money though, but maybe you should get SMT IV on a sale.

Nope, I put my magic too high early on, so I had 28 MAG but low stats and was getting my ass whooped. But then I cracked Ice Rise from one of the free battles or whatever and slapped Ice Dance on the MC. I had curse dance as well, so I attacked Belial from a distance and got it to below half health, considering I was doing ~500 damage per ice hit. It attacked me and instead of murdering me it kept trying to seal my other demon's spell ability, so I hit it with another ice dance and killed it. It was tense though.

I don't understand Law in SMT4. Every option that is about not changing stuff and status quo gives Law points. But the momment the Archangels are freed they change everything about Mikado, abolish the class system, take technology from Tokyo to Mikado to reverse engineer it, and annihilate Tokyo(going from existence to non-existence is pretty big change, you know). So why is Law associated with not changing anything?

>>151735827
Law is associated with order.

Order=/=not changing

If the times demand change to maintain order then that's that for law.

Not to mention different individuals and groups can have different variations of an alignment. Mastema for instance is law but his actions are quite different to the archangels.

>>151736171
But abolishing the class system and taking technology from Tokyo to Mikado isn't necessary for maintaining order. It's just changing stuff for the benefit of the people. And isn't changing the system for the sake of the people chaotic? There is a question like that in the passage of ethics too.

>>151736171
It's been a while since I played SMTIV but in that tunnel of alignmentfaggotry or whatever it was called, wasn't there a question about bringing new technology into a civilisation? I thought the law answer for that was don't do it and the chaos answer was introduce the tech.

Seems like what that first guy says happens in the Law route differs quite alot from that

>>151735827
Law in SMT4 is about perserving the Kingdom of Mikado and making sure everyone loves God. Everything the Archangels do is for the purpose of keeping their Kingdom legitimate and running. The kind of change that Chaos proposes involves destroying the kingdom and letting demons run loose with nothing to keep them in check.

>>151735827
Weren't the monks the guys trying to reverse-engineer technology, even before Gabriel and Co. make a powergrap, though?

Considering that the Angels turn the monastry into their mouthpiece, them trying to attain technology will probably become a non-issue in the Law ending.

>>151735827
SMT4 had an odd Japanese nationalist undertone to it. Note that although the archangels do order the monastery to master computers and create a digital database, taking knowledge from Tokyo's technology, they're also ordered to eliminate the "mystic script" and convert everything to the common language. The Law forces then, in this sense, are western values, foreign gods, rejecting the Japanese culture.

But, yeah, there's a division between the player choice's and the way the story actually executes it, since the nationalism stuff never comes up among the player choices.

Devil Summoner goes concurrently with Persona games. In Debisama, ambassador Thorman dies of a heart attack, and colonel Gotou is arrested. In Persona 1 there is Tamaki (If female protag) and the nephew of "T-Shirt" Isono from Devil Summoner, Also, Kuzunoha Detective Agency in P2. Rasen had a few good videos about the Megaten timeline.

I'm not sure it's exactly nationalistic in its own world. You're never shown anything else other than Tokyo and Mikado.
I always take Neutral to be more humanist than anything, taking the side for the innocent and helpless people.

>>151735827
Thing is that in SMT 4 alignment choices are all over the place.
Some choices are based on the ideal, like preserving peace and status quo or just following orders, or break the passiveness of Mikado and being honest or inclusive.
Some choices were based entirely on allegiance, and were given simply for agreeing with Jonathan and Tayama or Walter and demons.
And a few were given to you simply by doing story-quests.

I still feel the Expanse section of IV has to be the best the franchise has seen as far as proper Law and Chaos go.

>>151786057
Because they haven't realised that the best way is to like both games

We don't, SMT fans cross over into Persona fans considering we play Persona as well.

There's just the obnoxious 'we don't play anything other than Persona' fans.

>I'm not sure it's exactly nationalistic in its own world. You're never shown anything else other than Tokyo and Mikado.

There's also the bit about foreign (Chinese) deities attacking one of the districts. And how the Tokyo related divinities happen to be portrayed as pure good and with power on par with the highest tiers of hell and heaven forces.

Mazio

Why did Flynn only reincarnate in the Neutral Tokyo, you know the one where Masakado ate his head? Shouldn't he have a reincarnation running around in Blasted and Infernal Tokyo as well? We know he died there too.

What is the best build to make Ronald useful?

So far, he just falls behind everyone and feels like a weaker Serph (I gave him a physical build).
This wasn't a problem in DDS1 because I only ever needed to use 3 party members; but in DDS2 I'm constantly switching characters, and Ronald does nothing that the rest of my party can't do better.

Any tips?

>>151797606
Are the National Defense Divinites even controlled by Tayama? Many of them like Yamato Takeru, Omoikane, and Tenkai have enough free will to speak their minds.

>>151800962
Ronald is supposed to be a physical guy like Heat, but his stat distribution is kinda sub-optimal and he always be inferior to an physical Serph. You aren't actually forced to use him though, just make sure that at least Gale and Cielo get some good mantras as they will be forced on you for some dungeons.

Quantum Devil Saga 2 when

>>151802510
Yeah, the rest of my party is pretty solid. It's just that Ronald gets way too much magic.

I guess I could also give him buffs and debuffs.

Just got a 3DS and should be done hacking it soon. What's the best SMT to play? I haven't played any of the DS stuff either but I can't play that until my flash cart gets here.

>>151802945
2020

>>151804905
SMT IV if you want something like what you have already played. Although this game has more exploration than DDS and Persona 3/4

DeSu:O if you want to mix things up and get a taste of a game perfectly designed for handhelds.

Every megaten on 3DS is worth playing though.

>>151805270
I'll go with SMT IV. It seems DeSu is the SRPG series and Im gonna play Fire Emblem soon too.

I haven't been here in a while, but I'm guessing the general attitude towards TMS is bad? I liked personally, the dungeons felt like the PS2 games and wile the idol stuff is over the top it's not that much more annoying the Persona or DeSu characters.

Nah, it's the nocturnebabies and SJfags.

>>151806878

lol

>>151806878
Yup. The fact that it only gets brought up here to shitpost doesn't help.

I think they have their own general, or at least they used to. But honestly, you're better off trying your luck in /v/, just make sure to make a good OP (by /v/ standards).

>>151807241
We might need a division like the Fallout General.

>Real SMT General - I, II, IV etc
>Dark Age of Atlus General - Nocturne, Strange Journey, TMS etc

>>151807785
>Real SMT: IV
>not SJ

>>151808027
Fine.

>classic SMT - I, II, IV etc
>'alternative' SMT - Nocturne, the Raidou games, Strange Journey, and Tokyo Mirage Session etc

>>151808127
Why subdivide the series more? This place will be barren once the SMT IV Apocalypse play through are over.

>>151807785
We're fine as it is.

Just wait a bit until the waifufags and nintendrones move on to the next big thing, and eventually the 5 or 10 guys who actually care about TMS, will be able to discuss their game without too much shitposting.

Jack Bros, Majin Tensei, the good Devil Summoners and DeSu belong to the 'classic' SMT general.

How many SMT games do you think we will get out of PS4 now that Atlus has a nice 3d engine?

>>151809171
Hopefully, at least 2.

But I wouldn't be surprised if one of those two ends up being P5-2 or P6.

>>151809171
none

Now that the Nintendo Exclusivity deal is over and all the pro-Nintendo devs (Strange Journey) are now on the D (E?) dev teams we should see tons.

I literally just came in the thread only to read some retard wanting to split up this already nearly dead general. The shitposting, which isn't nearly as bad as a place like /pg/, isn't enough to justify it. You're just pissy that you don't like Nocturne and SJ and you're trying to deflect it on their sometimes retarded fanbase.

And SJ is more of an oldschool SMT than IV, easily.

But its strengths are in everything but the gameplay. And in that case you're better off reading visual novels, where you can actually date and fuck your waifu of choice.

>>151809768
It's no secret their best output has been on Nintendo handhelds for almost 10 years.

If anything is gonna a take some Japs back from mobile, it will be a Nintendo handheld. PS4 just ain't cutting it. We are 3years in and Atlus still had to put P5 on PS3 for insurance.

>>151786057
Jealousy, Persona 3 FES was so good most SMT devs have stopped caring to compete.

>>151810384
P4 was low effort. It was a total rehash of P3 right down to reusing party member animations.

It probably has something to do with the effects and shaders the game uses. Not all PS2 games are very easy to emulate properly.

I'm a bit confused by what the mystic scripts are supposed to be. Everyone speaks the same language, which is Japanese, so what's the difference when it's written? Are people in Mikado only writing in hiragana and katakana and never using kanji?

>>151800227
Because not enough time passed for him or anyone else to be reincarnated. Flynn and co are born like 1500 years after their previous selves dies. In blased Tokyo and infernal Tokyo you see that Akira is still alive and that Mikado doesn't exist, so only a few year passed insead of 1500 years. Or at least I guess.

>>151810171
They had problems with money at the time right? I'm sure Atlus is counting on p5 to get more money thanks to its popularity and there are models for demons for the new consoles so there's hope.

>>151835068
And you guys told me to emulate the ps2 games instead of buying them. Good thing I didn't listen to you.

>>151843293
>Good thing I didn't listen to you
You shouldn't expect much from NEET piratefags. I usually only hear that the games are a bother to emulate if you are not fully prepared to deal with whatever issues the emulator may require. And there are also a few horror stories where things go south and anons lose their 40+ hour save files for whatever reasons.

And yeah, ATLUS did have that issue with Index and SEGA, not to mention that the flopping of their PS2 games might have been very demoralizing for them and the shareholders.
But SMT IV and even IV:A did rather well, the ports were well received, the fanbase and consumer base as a whole have grown these last 5 years or so, and I even think that the digital games from Sony's and Nintendo's e-shop have sold good numbers by now.

Daily reminder:
If a Megaten game doesn't have its own original Jack Frost redesign, it's not a legitimate entry in the franchise.

>>151846023
I'm sure SMT4 and its sequel were less expensive to make than the ps2 games and there's the fact that handhelds are very popular in Japan, so that's why. I hope Atlus will keep making megaten games for the 3DS. Please make SMT1and2 remakes for the 3DS someday

I think you got these two backwards. I mean I can understand if people don't like Keisuke (I personally love him) but how on earth can anyone like the steaming pile of garbage that is Midori? Her voice is atrocious and her character serves nothing more than to be a gigantic idiot. She is a pretty good unit though and has a nice character design, better than Yuzu. Still though, what an idiot.

And yes, Holy Dance is great.

It's appropriate. Unlike Naoya's deep as fuck voice that DOESN'T FIT.

Knowing she's responsible for Keisuke getting fucked and all the clusterfucks happening those couple days makes her go through significant character development.
Also helps that she's very very fuckable, and probably wouldn't say no during all the chaos happening in-game.

Also Naoya's voice is great. I dig it.

So I found this

>>151878612
MIDORI IS THE HERO JAPAN DESERVES

A TRUE WARRIOR OF JUSTICE.

And Holy Dance is actually the absolute last spell you really need to be honest. It is the best. Nothing else is as good if you're running a magic hero.

>>151881707
Naoya's voice fits for the same reason his retarded coat fits. But none of it makes a lick of sense until you see his plotline unfurl a bit more.

>>151883105
>>151882619
I have played and beat both DeSu 1 and 2. I'm not the Anon playing thru DeSu1 blind.

My own opinion is that Midori goes from a shit character to an okay one. Naoya's voice should not be that fucking deep, I'd expect that to be Gin's voice instead. Knowing who Naoya is, and his full plotline still does not change how unfitting his voice is in my eyes.

And yeah, I like Otome and Hinako when it comes to DeSu2.

>>151883032
so fuck you with your cancer

>>151883032
Die.

>>151883689
I like Midori from start to finish. I mean, her character arc is literally: I have super powers! I CAN BE A HERO! LOOK AT ME! IM A HERO EVERYONE IM A HERO *Death clock 0. Hurk* She gets exactly what the setting says she deserves without rubbing it in or being stupidly grimdark about it.

Except then, of course, you intervene.

Plus I still have a soft spot for anyone who unapologetically wants to be a hero. She's not that much different than TMS Touma except she's a girl and not a dude.

I've been interested in the raidou games, but is it required to play the 1st?
I really just want to skip to the 2nd since I heard it's a much better game overall.

Why ten? I think I never gave him points in int until towards the end of the game because I thought it was needed for the Hinokagutsuchi.

Is Blasted Tokyo the Law Ending, while Infernal Tokyo is the Chaos Ending?

Improves demon negotiation. 10 Int is enough for the whole game.

Is evola a drink? What is it?

never had a problem with it.

>have to grind for money to buy new Magatamas
>end up leveling up my Demi-fiend and missing skills

Magatama system was a mistake.

Can't you just level up one more time with the appropriate Magatama? As long as you're not max level, it should be fine.
Even then I'm pretty sure someone told me it does it after a battle anyway.

>not saving before every level-up
>not switching Magatamas you already have to avoid wasting level-ups
Step it up.

No. MadMax Tokyo is a AU where God uses Pluto while Devilman Tokyo is a AU where humans become demins and fight back against the angels

I liked LUCK more than AG.

I gave priority to STR, then VIT, then a tiny bit of LUCK, and finally dumped points into AG if I started to miss too often.
I think LUCK is worth it so you don't get fucked over by the RNG of crits and insta-death spells.
