/smtg/ - Shin Megami Tensei General; Space Opera Edition

I don't have an OP pasta.

Basically I've had Strange Journey for forever now, but I haven't done an honest playthrough of it. Which means, I used an AR or a password generator in the past. What I wanna know from you guys is the basics; should I try to befriend demons I've fused again? How do you improve a demon's stats through fusion? Anything I need to do before Molaag Baal?

SMT IV's alignment system is fucking trash. You need to do Chaos and Law choices all the time to gain Neutral instead of having neutral responses or picking neutral side on things. You can get locked in the Chaos path for basic chit-chat choices.

I hope SMT IV: Apocalypse won't be as bad EU release when?

R.I.P., Shin Megami Tensei Imagine

The great MMO dies on the 24th (or perhaps 23rd, depending on the timezone).

That being said, reincarnation is a main theme of the series…

Man, does the last two bosses for the Neutral path in Strange Journey escalate compared to the previous bosses. I won the second to last boss by pure luck, and the last boss is decking me in the first turn. Certainly don't get these kinda bosses very often.

I'm still struggling to find those fucking formas for captain jack. Are they randomly generated ordo they appear in a specific spot?

What did they mean by this?

Maybe someone meant to write Sea of Consciousness, but had a stroke midway

I want to play this but I've never emulated DS, is it easy? Is it feasible on a toaster?

Pretty sure they have set locations. They're just hidden all around the teleporting maze. Traversing that shit was crazy. Make sure to hump the walls man, I remember one was tucked away in the last place I'd think to look.

Plot wise its a comedy once you think about it. Gameplay wise hama pierce + God's Arrow was so broken they had to nerf it in the patch for SMT 4F, and hama is legit broken thanks to the new hama/mudo acting like the other elements

Emulation is a bit finniky, but doable. But if youre not running perfect 60 fps, the music kinda gets all staticy.

I liked DDS, Soul Hackers, Devil Survivor Overclocked, and now I'm hating pretty much everything else. SMT IV was ok.

Should have made it a Persona general instead.

I should finish the Law routes in SMT IV and DeSu Overclocked (Amane's route) sometime.

I started playing strange journey for the 1st time since I saw a thread and it looked interesting.

This is my 1st time and man this game is pretty challenging, im always low on money and even a weak group of monsters can fuck my shit up wtf? Also I end up wasting my money on always healing and fixing MP.

I like it, but man this game pretty hard. Can I get some tips?

The beginning is very slow. Dont worry about money until there is things to buy. Make sure to fuse often. And you can ask for macca when talking to demons if you really need it.

Earlier SMT generals have gone pretty well. Guess this must be a bad week to have one.


Just remember to save often. It's RNG so shit happens, but once you make a good party, you should be OK most of the time.

There was just before this another thread about SMT SJ.

It's just dragging out a discussion that already past I guess.

RAIDOU 3 FUCKING WHEN

DEVIL SURVIVOR 3 FUCKING WHEN

DEMIKIDS REMAKE FUCKING WHEN

When Atlus stop being anime and bring back the real development team that existed before Persona 3.

How the fuck do I kill those Jack Frost demons in Devil Surviviour? I doesn't seem to matter if I cast magic or hit it, it doesn't seem to die. They then spam heal everywhere else. Since I hear there are a lot of escort missions it would be a good idea on killing the medic quickly or suffer endlessly.

Also you can hold excess demons on the side bar in the team menu to summon them in battle? I only just noticed that i was neglecting that.

That would be the best thing ever, but it'll never happen 'cause we can't have nice things.

Tadashi Satomi is working on Caligula now, have you guys looked into that?

I have. It looks surprisingly ambitious for a handheld game.

talk to demons frequently & find relic spots. if you do that enough, you should never be low on money.

I would definitely get it if I had a Vita.

Maybe I should start playing Strange Journey again. I never did manage to beat the bonus boss.

I like you.

If I could have given a reason you seem to be lacking the buffs.

Since we're sharing Here's my team from my last play through I used with passwords if someone might want them.

...

Nigga, while I liked DeSu 1&2, I don't like the direction they took with the second one, making it Persona Light.
Fumi is best girl thought
