It's impossible to make an honest version of those images since they're all about making stupid generalizations. Yes, I love Persona 2, but I like pretty much all Megaten games, including Persona 3 and 4. The only one I've played so far that felt like a chore was P1

It's not so much exaggerating as what I think the english for is "Ad Hominem" where you don't really say any reasons but just call it shit. That and waifus ruins 100% of threads.

I don't think I've ever seen what I think is a legitimate complaint about a persona game, just something like "Persona 4 is shit because the gameplay is shit".

I know there's valid reasons for thinking P4's rpg mechanics aren't as good as some other SMT games, but no one ever says them in posting.

On-topic note is Raidou Kuzunoha any good? Action RPG SMT sounds hit or miss
>>
>>74973419
I've seen plenty of valid complaints leveled at P4, mostly to do with the atmosphere, characters and dungeons.

As for Raidou, the first one's combat isn't fantastic but it's bearable, while the second massively improves the combat by making it less clunky and faster in general.
>>
>>74973419
The tone, story, and characters in P4 are all pretty bad compared to the other Persona games. It's still a fun game though. The gameplay (and by that, I mean combat system) is the best in the Persona series.

While the dungeons weren't exactly great, they weren't that bad either. It's really just the over all feel of the game. It was way too happy happy.

>>74973827

>>
>>74973792

The feel of the game was definitely different from the others but I really liked how much of a change of pace it was. Proved to me that they weren't afraid to try something completely different. Plus a lot of the subtext implied a dark sort of undertone, since everyone must be a pretty sadistic son of a bitch deep down to have Ameno Sagiri show up to fix things. Even towards the end when shit hit the fan with the fog and everything pretty much every npc was concerned only with themselves, even when classmates and teachers started ending up murdered.

>On-topic note is Raidou Kuzunoha any good? Action RPG SMT sounds hit or miss
The combat is not what you play the game for. It's not a good action game but it is a good SMT game.

>>74973967
4G is widely regarded as the best entry point into the series, but P3P isn't entirely agreed upon. A lot of people will advise playing FES instead for dat 3D and dat Answer. It's also the first time they used social links and the mechanics behind them aren't very good in any edition of the game. Worth a play for veterans, but I've known it to be very off-putting to newcomers.

They're good starting points since they're easy and will familiarize you with the spell names and fusion, but you need to keep in mind that they're basically VNs with bad dungeon crawling tacked on.
They are also slow games, P4 for instance, has a 2-hour long section of nothing but dialogue before the tutorial fight.

They're both pretty easy to get into. I'd recommend playing Persona 3 FES on PS2 over Persona 3 Portable, but if it's easier for you to play P3P, go ahead with that one, it doesn't make a huge difference.

Yeah but like >>74974138 said it's got a dark undertone. I think of it as a safe haven for new SMT players before diving into the more dark and brutal games. It's SMT-lite in a lot of ways.

That it does, and I'd argue that some of them are even better than their DeSu1 counterparts. I especially like the Septembertrombone themes.

You should be around the point where you can get Divine Shot, or at least the Magatama Divine Shot is on, so I'd recommend replacing one of your other physical skills with it. Divine Shot's crit rate is obscenely high, and it looks cool as hell.
I think it's on an Expel-type Magatama though, so rev up those Mudo-related game overs. You'll also want to consider either getting Fog Breath or Taunt on Demi-fiend, or somehow getting them on your demons. Taunt+Dekaja is such a handy combo.

What are some fun gimmick builds to try in SMT? Any game is fine.

>>74975221
I was wondering how viable a scream team build would be.
It'd be comprised of a party comprised entirely of demons and abilities that involves screaming.

>>74975578
Vi/Ag +Stone Multistrike build wrecks everything in DeSu2, even stuff immune to Curse because of the sheer amount of hits Multistrike deals. Maybe throw in a Force Dance if something gets petrified and survives the barrage. You won't even need Pierce because most things that get petrified will get shattered by the rest of the hits anyway.

Lu builds are pretty good in any game since Lu effects so much stuff. I hear it's really good in SH and I can personally recommend it for DDS. Glass cannon builds are also good in any game for MAXIMUM POWER.

Because people aren't willing to let go I guess. I've seen these threads slow to a crawl plenty of times.

Plus Persona still counts as SMT, regardless of what some others might say. Maybe we should merge back with /pg/. I'm sure plenty of people would LOVE that!

I wouldn't, since Sony has said they are aiming for more of a companion device for the PS4 and looking for Indies and PSNow to cover for it.

DDS vagely included alignments in a roundabout way. Some random character insisted that jenna was chaos and margot was lawful, and then roland said that he likes the idea of being balanced instead of one extreme.
>>
>>74986157

Or maybe the autists could just not bitch when people are having fun and discussing other things. No matter how often people point out to them that having a dead general is not preferable they keep doing it.

Alternatively, maybe we could try to get some new people in. They'd whine about that even more, but its probably for the best.

No he doesn't. If you play all three endings its revealed that he split time into three paths to kill all the other three at once. Its never revealed whether this is because its on the side of humans, or It just wanted to fuck them over, or whether it wants to eliminate them to take power itself. Since its dying the game half makes you assume that its sacrificing itself too in order to do this.

There was meant to be a sequel to reveal what the fifth "yellow" ancient vaguely hinted at was, but it never happened.

People are going to die and suffer anyways. The only difference between it happening and you trying to alter the situation to minimize it is that its emotionally easier for you to handle by pretending that if you "don't get directly involved" that it means you're not culpable. That doesn't make it any better for the people who suffer however.

>>74990134

You're prioritizing everyone who will ever exist in the future over only those in the present. Even lucifer admits that the plan would work.

>>74990191

But autists are chaos. Its not about not seeing people as people. Its about now neutral pretends like more people suffering is "seeing them as people" when its actually just you pretending that you're not responsible because you refuse to be directly involved. Its all about prioritizing your own emotions, then trying to shuffle around the reality to feel less bad about what you're doing.

So if I murdered you right now in a way that was instant and painless, that would be lawful because I was preventing you from suffering? What about if I committed genocide in order to end the suffering of a group of people, which would then increase the amount of food and medicine available for everyone else? That's kindness?

Can't say I'm surprised. No. Lawful would be if the only way to save five people on a train track was pushing me in front of the train. I might complain, but so what. Five people are worth more than one. Killing random people for vague or ill defined gains or trivial ones is not good. The angels in overclocked even point this out to you directly, saying that doing that would be bad, and that it is only good when you can literally see the future, so you know who has the brand of death.

>>
>>74993119

Yeah, but Law and Chaos are by definition insanely biased and exclusionary philosophies. People are the same on an irrelevant basis, but wouldn't their actions define the worth of their life? What if fives NEETs have their lives weighed against a cancer researcher?
>>
>>74993251
What if the child is a cereal killer?
>>
>>74993321
What I want to know is how the hell did you manage to put five NEETs in the same room.
>>
>>74993032

That's not the logic being murky, its you not taking it far enough. Serial killers aren't worth less than other people because people are worth differently, they're worth less because people AREN'T worth differently (theoretically, at least). Peoples total worth takes into account how they are going to effect other people. If saving those people would result in them killing ten or twenty people, then obviously not saving them is better.

But the average five people aren't five serial killers.
>>
>>74993597
The thing is, you literally can not know how those people will affect others in the future. There's no telling whether or not the 1 person you kill to save the 5 others will grow up to cure cancer and solve world hunger or grow up to be worse than Hitler. The same applies to the 5. Unless you can see the future, that's not a choice you should be allowed to make for any person but yourself.

The Vatican disowned the Book of Enoch, where most angels, Uriel included, were described about 10 years ago. Uriel is not mentioned anywhere else in the bible.
>>
>>74993946

I'm pretty sure defining someone by the past effect they've had on people would be best in terms of who lives and who died. Five serial killers have had a much worse effect on way more people than one kid has. One doctor has had a way better effect on more people than five NEETs have. So it's clear who to kill.
>>
>>74994835
And what about in cases where you have no information whatsoever on the people besides "single person" and "group of five"?
>>
>>74993946

There's no such option as you not making the choice. If you're there, then your choice to do nothing is you prioritizing the one over the five, in a situation that in any real sense is nothing but you choosing to kill one or five. The idea that that's "not" whats happening is a construct your mind makes because individuals can't emotionally handle this reality, so pretending there's a way for them to "not be involved" makes them not feel culpable.

The logic of your chosen conclusion is a presupposition failure. Its not a coherent concept, so you're trying to base what "should" be done off of something that only exists in your head. In a real situation where you don't know what good can come from certain evils, the nuance is what causes the hesitation to be a good thing. If you knew absolutely that you were saving 5 by -1, then without knowing their futures that is simply the right thing to do.

If you're going to say its not, you have to hold to your logic forever. Is it wrong to kill one to save 100? 10,000? 10,000,000? The logic gets progressively more ridiculous the more you add, yet your absolute declaration would have to hold true even in those cases.

>you have to hold to your logic forever
Says who? Humans are ever changing emotional beings. I honestly would let a train hit five people rather than one because fives a big number and I don't want to be involved and don't think I should be choosing what happens to those people anyways, but if it's one person for 10,000,000 I'm 100% going to let the train hit the one dude.

I was reading youtube comments under a Nocturne video saying that TDE is the least logical choice in Nocturne, but is it really? I always thought breaking the cycle was a good thing.

Would you choose a Reason if you were in the Demi-Fiend's place? Or go reset button?

Non-true demon ending.

>>
>>75002256

Because you slaughter all humans in the world and end anything like human existence in favor of making an unending timeless form of libertarianism. Eternity in hell with ayn rand is about the worst fate imaginable.
>>
>>75002650
I've been seeing this "chaos is libertarianism" bs for the last couple days here. I'd just like to say, Libertarianism barely exists in Japan as a movement. In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist there at all. So a game made by people in Japan referencing Libertarianism is just not likely. At best, Shiki Patriot might have been a Libertarian before it was killed.
>>
>>75002256
Shijima, like the law end of SJ and the White end of IV, just seems to much like throwing a tantrum and declaring 'life is cheating, so I just won't play'

Musubi would be boring because nothing will surprise you, meaning you'll end up understimulated and unsatisfied.

Yosuga might be bearable, but since it's being made by someone like Chiaki, I doubt her definition of 'strong' would be flexible enough to add variety to the world

the Neutral ending is satisfactory, because it isn't a straight up undoing of the events. You basically get to go back to the life you left, but with demon powers and a brand of an enemy of god. You'd probably have enough time to get all the things you want out of a human life before you were forced to fight again, assuming God doesn't just nuke the whole world the next day out of spite.

Demon ending is also acceptable, since once you get sick of the vortex world you can use the Amala network to travel to other worlds

Were I in Demi-Fiend's place, I'd be worried about losing my free will if I dedicated myself to becoming a pure demon. It's said elsewhere in the game that demons are unable to change themselves, only humans are capable of change. While there's a couple instances in the franchise where demons do change, it's always because of a human. On the other hand, Lucifer is very charismatic, and by that point I might be too drunk on power to hesitate

Actually, that ties in with the themes. In japan, the chaos side is viewed as far worse than law, since to them it has no positives whereas law are well intentioned extremists. Often when japanese people talk about it they accidentally call law the "good" side or if they prefer neutral say that law is good and chaos is bad but that the law side is "too much of a good thing and thus becomes bad." Apparently when the games were first coming out, many people didn't even know there were multiple endings because multiple endings was rare at the time, and by Japanese culture standards chaos was obviously the bad side since it bore no resemblance to anything a japanese person would consider ideal.

>>75003112
>>75003432

I found the butthurt fedorafag libertarians. What's more, chaos wasn't even anarchy in the early games. Yama is a judge, and they definitely imply that they plan on having an actual system with leaders and ranks. Lucifer calls himself a literal monarch. I get that libertarians who don't want to sound evil pick neutral, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the implications its actually getting at. Chaos is also "militarism," and other things.
>>
>>75003769
That...sounds surprisingly reasonable. I expected a dumb tirade defending your assertion. I guess I'm law now.
>>
>>75003769
>butthurt fedorafag libertarian
Not even close, Beadman. I'm Neutral and don't actually identify as any political party. They all have some good and some bad ideas, I think. It's just that every time I see someone try to defend law, they always sound way more retarded than the chaos guys. Who are still retarded, by the way.
>>
>>75003769
I wonder how SMT would be like if it was not made in Japan. Culture there is more communtity oriented making Law more appealing, while /smtg/ has abundance of chaosfags due to muh country of freedom.
>>
>>75004112

Some people speculate that the reason that there's so much chaos favoritism in the series is that law is so popular in japan that they're trying to balance it out. If it was made in the west there might be more times in game that law is actually viewed as more directly sympathetic.

>>75004080

Has anyone even tried to defend chaos? Even now, everyone's trying to wash their hands of it and insist that it corresponds in no way with anything analogous of something sane people want in the real world?
>>
>>75004485
>Has anyone even tried to defend chaos? Even now, everyone's trying to wash their hands of it and insist that it corresponds in no way with anything analogous of something sane people want in the real world?
That's probably why they sound less retarded, really. They're not so quick to justify themselves or ramble on about how it's totally a good thing to murder and genocide for the greater good.
>>
>>75004829
>murder and genocide for the greater good
that's basically law too

which is the entire point of the alignments, law and chaos are both different sides of the same coin
>>

>>
>>75004942
>law and chaos are both different sides of the same coin
No doubt. Chaos does it because they can. Law does it because they think they're infallible and try to justify it by saying it's for a greater good, which you'd need to be able to know the future to do it "right."
>>
>>75004942
That's why Chaosfags are more tolerable Lawfags, even though they're both retarded. The only justification you'll see out of Chaosfags is "WURLD OF STR BITCH." Meanwhile, Lawfags will write you a 10 page essay on why killing everyone but this small group of people, which you may or may not be a part of, is a good thing.
>>
>>75004485
I find chaos preferable to law, because one of laws goals is to try and make sure the law will never be otherthrown, ranging from information control, social manipulation, and surveillance, to at it's most cartoonish extreme ripping the free will out of people.

Chaos, on the other hand, prefers to rely on increasing its own power rather than making it impossible for potential adversaries to gain power. Outside of the scarcity of resources, chaos openly challenges anyone to gain power and overthrow the current rulers if they don't like how things are run.

No matter how terrible a tyrant, chaos allows for reform. The only reform law approves of is when the society strays too far from a preset 'ideal' that was typically concocted by someone who doesn't have to live in that kind of society after they make it.

tl;dr I think a bad society that can still be made better in the future is preferable to a stagnant and static society that rejects change. Although that in itself is probably more a neutral view.

>The only justification you'll see out of Chaosfags is "WURLD OF STR BITCH."

>>
>>75004829

Its not my fault no one here has studied philosophy. The point isn't that genocide is somehow magically good. The point is that the ideology represented by law is good, but that like chaos, the games show an absolute extreme version of it that is represented as badly as possible just to make neutral look good. And they throw in a random totally unnecessary genocide, combined with unnecessary hypocrisy onto the law side in each game just to make sure it doesn't accidentally look good. People aren't sitting around saying that as its actually represented its uncontroversially good. They often complain about how extreme it is represented, but then side with law or chaos anyways as indications of their orientation. Which is why they bring up that devil survivor gives the actually sought after more fair representation. You're confusing the games themselves for what people are actually saying thematically in relation to them.

>>75005383

Strictly speaking though, chaos only wants to allow reform from one chaotic leader to another one. They still often plan on having "fight (physically) to get ahead in society" to be a staple forever. Which is why chaos is in some sense hypocritical also, despite this rarely being brought up other than when walter ironically point out that by chaos' logic law winning means that they are stronger. Lucifer hypocritically refuses to give in though, even when its obvious he lost.

"end of history" is a common socialist doctrine though.
>>
>>75005858
You can do that without being a Chaosfag though.
>>
I want a world where humans and demons can coexist.

>>75005897
doesn't the fact that lucifer is still able to fight demonstrate that he hasn't lost yet? He still has resources to fight with, even if that resource is reduced to his own self.

well, there's DeSu's 'hack the demon world' end if you choose not to banish all demons but use them to further humanity.

then there's Strange Journey's 'let's all go back to warring tribes led by competing gods and preyed upon by wild demons' ends

There's also the Devil Survivor settings, but only a select few actually interact with demons in any meaningful way and generally are attached to some secret society or another.

There's the chaos end of SMTII, and I think the neutral as well. I'm pretty sure the demons aren't genocided or banished in neutral end. Either way, it doesn't have the same rejection of technology and complex society that SJ's chaos end has.

Not to mention Burning Tokyo in SMTIV, although human options are limited to 'become a demi-demon' or 'become a cow to be brain-milked. Akira may change that if he stays in charge long enough, though.
>>
>>75006210

I think there were more things removed than added. Like, if you have two characters targeting the same enemy, and the first kills it, instead of auto-moving to another target in range, the character just loses out on a turn. In a game where you're losing out on turns constantly. You can allocate everyone's skill points, though. I think. No voice acting, either.

P1P not only has fewer tracks, but they are mostly shorter than the original OST, so it's pretty much impossible to replace it.
>>
>>75016919
Oh I see. Would it not be possible to instead of replacing tracks, decompile the game and rewrite the music playing function to load the music files from somewhere else? (I've seen translation projects for games in the past where they've loaded stuff like fonts separately) That would be far more difficult though I imagine and it's not like there's a massive want for it.

No.

Yes, there are some difficulty jumps. Mostly with a couple of bosses though.

>>75014050
>and His angels
Only when the angels are doing things by themselves, going against YHVH's will, otherwise the angels don't really get special privileges.

In SMTIV's law route, the angels in Naraku even talk about how God wants humanity governing the land by themselves and they'll leave after the demons and filthy are eliminated, and the ending seems to confirm that.

Every last demon has an affinity to a certain type of skills, and with the exception of healing and buffing skills, those are the only skills they can inherit. For example, Vishnu is almighty-type, so he can't inherit something like Ziodyne. If the demons being fused into Vishnu have both Megidolaon and Megidola, then he will inherit Megidolaon first, since that is the stronger spell and thus has higher priority.

P1 takes a very SMT-like approach to character development. You have to talk to them and the NPCs after every event to get information on their backstories and thoughts, and even major character development can be easily missed. The exceptions to this are Maki and Nanjo.

I don't really get the hate for bead man. Shouldn't we accept different perspectives and dissenting ideologies? It affords us the opportunity to strengthen our resolve and arguments if an intelligent person is going to come forward and challenge them. Blindly hating beadman is, to me, the antithesis of what I've come to love about /smtg/. Instead of allowing and accepting discourse, we've begun to challenge it blindly. There isn't even any reason to believe the person who said all this
>>74996049
even is beadman. This hysteria is weak, and is only a testament to this community's latent inability to have thoughtful discussion. Instead of name calling and blind attacks, we should be able to dismantle arguments from a fundamental ideological perspective. It's like we're forgetting this is an anonymous image board.

Please, /smtg/, try harder not to suck at conversing. It's getting difficult to deal with.

>>75025948
>I don't really get the hate
Please. Every single one of his posts contains nothing but barely-related psychological bullshit that nobody cares about, nor cares to read. When he's on topic he fellates law harder than Betatron fellates YHVH and is quite possibly responsible for a lot of recent alignment shitposting.
Beadman is cancer and he should have been gotten rid of long ago.

Well, certain demons have more flexible affinities than others, so maybe that's why you thought it was more lenient. For example, the "temperature" affinity lets a demon inherit all Zio, Bufu, and Agi spells.
>>
>>75027168
This is blatantly incorrect - of the real beadman posts I've seen, he is constantly discussing the underlying philosophical constructs which come to define many of the SMT games. Not only that, but even if they seem contrived or irrelevant points at first glance, his willingness to use references from the games to reinforce his arguments stands in clear contradiction to what you've just said.
You certainly didn't assert a point, you were content to cry insults because he stands for law and goes in depth about topics which are of tertiary relevance, but are relevant and interesting nonetheless. To what end? you're ironically conflating his astute observations and adherence to law to the alignment shitposting issue, when you yourself are taking an active part in it by calling out his preferred ideological stance. No discourse from your end of the court; again, only name calling, and in so doing, accomplishing nothing but smearing a negative veneer of hate over the community.
And this post right here, along with yours, only reinforces the problem I brought up before. We're getting meta about a person that hasn't even truly actively identified themselves for a while. We're functionally acting as "cancer" more than the precious scapegoat that is beadman, because he at least stays on relevant topics pertaining to SMT.

I'm taking a little break from SMT after beating Nocturne, SMT4, P4, p3, and SJ in a row.

I'll probably start playing Soul Hackers since I hear it's pretty short.

The music is amazing, the characters are alright. It's everything else that makes me not want to play.

I am indifferent towards the world. The open levels don't really do much for me.The quests are okay I guess. The plot was garbage until Prison Island, I'm a few hours after that right now.

My main gripe is the boring as shit combat. I don't mind how Dragon Age did it, but FF12 and Xenoblade really strike me the wrong way with the way they do combat.

I really enjoyed FF12 and Xenoblades combat. Feels like an offline MMO. I enjoyed the plot the whole way through, and it keeps getting better, at least for me. Some people don't like the whole plot. The open world and how big it is are even better.

The combat is fine, if you don't like a character, there are 7 others to choose from
>>
>>75045646
Battles go on way too long (I thought it was just me, but I see battles on Youtube lasting longer than mine) and there's no Tactics menu like Dragon Age, FF12 (which wasn't too bad, really, I was too young to appreciate it) or even the Tales games.

I might just eat it and play it to see where the plot goes. If not for that Prison Island scene, I would have sold the game already.

Man, if he was annoyed by Rei and not-Kyouji getting in his way, then I can't even imagine how angry he'd be if he had to deal with Nagi.

I think that part of why he seems nicer in SH and P2 has to do with the fact that the characters in those two games don't really know him, as well. He's really popular with all the NPCs in DS1, which sort of implies that he's a charming guy when he's not dealing with people who are involved with him and the Kuzunoha. He's less patient with Rei, even in SH, because they're close and he's allowed to show more of himself, and because he expects a lot from her as his partner.

they're both referred to as an 'opponent' of mankind, which can be translated as 'adversary' or 'enemy' or several other words with subtly different connotations.

It's important to keep in mind the bible is an assortment of books written hundreds of years apart, and all were written long after the historical events they describe, and most translators aren't geniuses able to flawlessly figure out when similar words are being used to convey discretely different things via their context.

then you get shit like the King James bible which was explicitly translated in such a way as to be as dramatic as entertaining as possible, even at the expense of accurate translation, and it's the king james bible that most strongly influences the depiction of christianity in modern media

In the old testament, Satan was an angel who tested people for God. By the new testament they decided that that sounded pretty asshole, and so said that Satan was god's enemy. So christians interpret the old testament story about him as them getting along "ironically."

I like all of Shinohara's besides Sanat. Aki's are good, and so are Nishimura's, even though I kinda miss the old Omoikane. He also gets bonus points for that whole "clay models" thing. A lot of people give Amemiya's angels shit, but I actually really like "weird" angels more than I do the ones that are just winged humans with weird skin. Which isn't to say they're bad, I just prefer other types of angel.

I mean fuck, that's a lot of shit.

And not even half of it is officially translated.

Even then, there are dozens of groups out there translating some of the games, some half translated etc.

Then you look at a project like Megami Tensei, jokingly pushed back to a release date of September 11 this year, only to recently be pushed back farther than that.

>>
>>75093012
Well SMT is not exactly a friendly series to people with beginner-level Japanese, so if you've only just started you may want to rethink that.
>>
>>75094530
Creepy is the right word for her, but I think 'Kind' matches her personality better. Here's one I found and changed a little

http://imgur.com/fO7dx3z.png

Not really sure how AA2 works, but I guess I'm able to send you this image and it carries all their traits and info somehow? It's like magic
>>
Are there any skills in DeSu OC that are only crackable from one-time encounters, that cannot be obtained later on via COMP expansion cards found during free battles? I get the feeling I missed some.
>>
>>75094853

I understand, but I'll be taking several years of Japanese courses and also living in Japan, so it gives me a nice long term goal.
>>
>>75095076
A couple human only passive skills, although I think several of them that were one-off (and only on a certain route) in vanilla that got a few more turn-ups in eighth days
>>
>>75094972
>I think 'Kind' matches her personality better
You're probably right. Thanks for the card.

>I guess I'm able to send you this image and it carries all their traits and info somehow?
Yup. Just like magic.

Also, does anybody have any suggestions on what humanoid demons I can make later? Hua Po, Pixie, Kikuri-hime, Cu Chulainn, stuff like that.
>>
>>75095126
About what level are you at right now?
>>
>>75095212
Yeah, I made sure to crack all of the Ban X skills that I could whenever I saw them. I missed Ban Phys/Ban Fire during the Gin/Azuma battle but thankfully another story battle shortly afterwards had those skills so I could crack them. I'm worried I missed Hassohappa though, because Abel's still using Berserk. I mean, Berserk's not exactly bad (not when it's running off 28 STR anyway) but I'd like to upgrade it.
I'm guessing I won't get access to Multi-strike till the 7th or 8th day?
>>
>>75095331
Norn, Hecate, and Mara
>>
>>75095331
Pixie, Moh Shuvuu and Hua Po would be nice

I like little girls
>>
>>75095371

Beginner, I only know a few phrases, and don't have much knowledge on the alphabets.

I've been taking some Japanese history courses while waiting to take Elementary Japanese in a month.

Then after two courses of Elementary Japanese I'll be studying abroad in Japan for a full year.

So we'll see where that takes me.
>>
>>75095496
If it were possible to make Mara, that would've been the first thing I'd done.

>>75095581
Noted. I already have a Hua Po kind of done, but not being able to do hair with two different colours sucks.

I do too.

>Some P1 characters are able to join you

>>
>>75103131
also Kandori's persona was Nyarlathotep, and No.1 guy's butler died and became his persona
>>
>>75095331
If you make Cu Chulainn I'll suck your dick over the internet.

>>75103201
Was his persona called Nyarlathotep in P1, or was that something retconned in? I honestly don't remember.

It was explicitly called Nyarlathotep, although in Persona: Revelations his name was made 'Massacre'

Also if you bring Ryouji, then after you beat Kandori he gets his own version that has a different sprite, but is also called Nyarlathotep.

However that's never mentioned anywhere in P2 as far as I know
>>
Okay which non-persona games are set in the persona universe?
>>
>>75103424
in P2 Nyarlathotep says that he was manipulating Kandori. It's not quite clear if he was just coming when Kandori called him and pretended to be a persona, gave Kandori a persona of himself similar to how Izanami handed out Izanagi persona in P4, or if he somehow possessed/infected/took over Kandori's existing/potential persona

Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers.
>>
>>75103482
Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers are supposed to take place in the same world as P1 and P2IS. After that Persona apparently has its own universe.
>>
>>75103558
Also SMT if... and the Raidou games.
>>
>>75103570
no, the new universe is spawned from the old one with the same people in it

If... , and the Devil Summoner games

please

The Other Side still exists though. At the end of EP, Tatsuya from IS leaves Tatsuya from EP's body and goes back to the Other Side.

>>75103694
It's been done many times already. A lot of it is based on speculation though.

there's like ten different ones floating around, I'm surprised you haven't seen any before

>>75103694
Every mainline game is pretty standalone except SMT1 and 2
if..., Devil Summoner, Raidou, all take place in the P1/P2 universe
That's it.
>>
>>75103738
how is Soul Hackers meant to take place in the future of the Other Side? Everyone not in Sumaru city died.

I never said it did.

THE TIMELINE IS THERE IS NO TIMELINE

Since The Great Cataclysm is reference in the Soulless Army, do Raidou and SMT1/2 take place in the same universe?

It doesn't, it's just that it takes place at a different point in the same year as the IS/EP events (1999).
>>
Tatsuya's scenario in EPP explains why demons aren't around in P3 and later, right?
>>
Question from someone who hasn't played any Devil Summoner games yet: How do we know (or why do we assume) that they take place in the same world as P1/P2IS?
>>
>>75103985
Yes. I haven't played it, but, what I understand is this:
>demons are rumors brought to life by Nyarly
>Nyarly gets rekt at the end of EP
>Nyarly splits into the shadow enemies seen in P3/P4
>>
>>75103959
Raido 40 specifically went back in time to prevent the great Cataclysm, and succeeded.

However it seems like you can still use the Akarana corridor to travel to the future where it did happen in Abaddon
>>
>>75103978
i thought smt started in 1999 :/
>>
>>75104012
Because a major player from the first Devil Summoner plays a minor role in Persona 2.

I would guess that the cataclysm is one possible result in Raidou's world, but in the context of DS1 (1996), it explains why it didn't occur.

>>75104012
Kyouji Kuzunoha, a character from Devil Summoner 1, is able to possess other bodies with his soul by the end of that game. In Persona 2, he is possessing Daisuke Todoroki, the detective at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency. Logically, in order for that to be possible/to have happened, DS1's events, or at least something very similar to them would had to have happened. Also, it is stated in some official sources explicitly that Kyouji is Todoroki, and that DS1 and P1/P2 take place in the same world, such as the Persona World Guidance book.

>>75104064
199X, I believe. DS1 is in 1996.
>>
>>75103985
the human unconsciousness ends up generating too much kegare and not enough ideal energy, because humans are becoming increasingly negative. rather than creating demons, kegare just coalesces into shadows.
>>
>>75103978
>>75103781
The problem with these is they're useless if you haven't played all the games

Someone needs to do a proper writeup where they explain the connections thoroughly
>>
>>75104142
beadman probably already has
>>
Do P1/P2 and P3/P4 take place in the same universe? I'm guessing yes.
>>
>>75104258
technically different ones but the p2ep universe wouldnt have been possible without p2is
>>
>>75104105
i have a hard time believeing 199x used in games is anything but 99
>>
>>75104258
yeah. there's a tv show in P3 that shows what some of the P1 and P2 characters are doing with their lives at that point, and Mitusur mentions once how the Kirijo group split off from the Nanjo group some time around SEBEC

Pretty much the entire explanation is in Persona World Guidance, but it's in Japanese. Along with the TV news segments in DS1 explaining the details of Gotou's arrest and the failed ICBM launch, that's like 90% of the story right there.

>>75104258
As indicated in EPP and P3's mention of the Nanjo Group, yes.
>>
>>75104328
Isn't there a tumblr write off, with Nate as basically the center of the series?

Well Devil Summoner 1 is specifically 1996, and Soul Hackers is three years later, making it 1999. Persona 2 is just prior to the millenium, making it 1999, and the P1 characters are three years older than they were in P1, making that game also in 1996.

>tv show
>Nanjo Group reference

A polite reminder that these were added by Atlus USA so they don't really mean anything.
>>
>>75104464
The mention of the Nanjo Group wasn't added in localisation, and neither was Who's Who. The change of the online MMO from a MT reference to a P2 reference, was, however.
>>
>>75104464
Well, the save points in P4 are Philemon. There's also the blue butterflies in P3, as well as Igor existing.
Not to mention the possibility of Nyarly being the villain in P4U.
>>
Is the devil summoner tv show subbed? Is it good?
>>
>>75104464
>these were added by Atlus USA
Where'd you hear that at?
>>
>>75102608
There were some new demon designs that first showed up int those games, like Jack Frost and Loki in Persona 4.
>>
>>75104609
what
>>
>>75104572
Maybe from that guy who really hates Atlus USA?
>>
>>75104609
I thought those were in Soul Hackers originally
>>
>>75104609
That's some subtle bait
>>
>>75104534
There's also some speculation that the girl Labrys met at the hospital was Maki, but I don't know how far-fetched that would be since I haven't played P1 yet.
>>
>>75104831
I'm pretty sure Maki wasn't meant to speak with a kansai accent

>”??”???????????”??”????????
>"It is a concept that has been passed to [the] Kirijo [Group] since our separation from [the] Nanjo [Group]."
>Kirijo (??) and Nanjo (??)

Just to put the issue to rest.
>>
>>75105075
That reminds me, in P4 during the king's game, didn't Atlus USA change a bit to reference the Kuzunohas?
>>

Anyone got that gif of Jack Frost melting from Devil Children anime?
>>
>>75104446
Yup, that's the one. I've only played P1, so it's kinda beyond me.
>>
>>75105443
Yes, the original reference was to a Japanese work called the Kindaichi Case Files. The point was Chie was referencing a fictional detective story.

As the Kuzunoha Detective Agency is a real entity in the world of Persona, you could look at it as her referencing a real-world detective, but more than likely Atlus USA just overlooked this in an attempt to make it more understandable.
>>
>>75105443
I think somebody originally compared Naoto to the guy from Kindaichi Case Files or something, and they changed it to Kuzunoha because they figured more Americans would get that reference.
>>
>>75104552
>subbed

we wish
>>
>>75105612
another possibly is that, considering Raihou wasn't exactly subtle about his dealings, and he was close friends with a reporter, someone made a TV show based on the urban legends about him and Tae's own notes
>>
>>75105779
Sure, I suppose you could look at it that way if you want. Point is, it's not present in the Japanese script and has nothing to do with DS being 'real' in the Persona world.

Watch it be some random Japanese god that just acted similarily for no reason. But yeah, I thought of Nyarly too. That Akihiko you posted specifically reminded me of the smug-ass Nyarly-Tatsuya portrait in P2EP.
>>
>>75106393
MA could just be a new demon alltogether. Philemon isn't the only one being able to give people Persona powers, so why should Nyarly be the only one controlling Shadows?

>>75106623
That seems pretty unlikely though. In Philemon's case it's just true that anyone with a strong will can have a Persona, but the same isn't necessarily true of controlling shadows, at least not in the same way Nyarly did or ME seems to.

Also the red eyes mean something.
>>
>>75106535
Why do the shadows in P2 have red eyes, but the ones in P4 have yellow?
As far as I can tell, the only time someone had yellow eyes in P2 was when it was Nyarly in disguise, but that can't be the case in P4.
>>
>>75107473
Maybe they would be blue if Nyarly possessed someone in P3

Damn, I only managed to unlock Gin's route. I really fucked up, huh? Might as well stick to my original plan.

Uh, guys.

We're on page 9.

>>75109905
I know not everybody agrees, but it's the hardest 7th day of the game, so everything will be downhill when you finish that one. Godspeed, anon.

How did you not unlock Naoya's, it's super easy.
>>
>>75109905
That's okay, last time I played Overclocked I was trying to get Gin/Atsubro's route but ended up with only Naoya's route unlocked
