Gaming Shin Megami Tensei IV OT

They should definitely work the phrase "Not our worst recent debacle" into the promotional material.

"No press is bad press, right guys?"

Poor Europe, it really blows how bad Atlus treats you. I just finished the game in the spring and have to keep telling myself im not allowed to go back and play it again for a while.

 

[emigre]

EU brothers, it is released today!

Still though, fuck Atlus.

 

[BORTZ]

Sweet! Let me know what you guys think!

 

[emigre]

Downloaded it and played through the tutorial dungeon. So far so good. IT feels good to play with the Press combat system again. Downloaded the free DLC like a mofo.

Also, fuck Atlus.

[DarkKnigh_t]

[Pox]

Its not an easy game. I clocked just over 60 or so hours to finish this game. Pay attention to what you can unlock with Burrough's apps. They can really make the game easier on you.

Be sure you are fusing demons and keeping up wit the newest ones (closest to your level). That helps too.

There is no play style that is wrong when it comes to adding points to your MC, but when I played I chose magic points, so I could nuke monsters with elemental weaknesses. Physical works too, but you need luck and dex to make it worth it. That also makes it harder to min/max your stats early though.

I laugh at those who died whilst getting their first demons.

It took till I reached floor 3 of Natuerkfkfk when I first died.

Is it eshop only?

Yes it is but its 20 Euro.

 

[DarkKnigh_t]

Yes it is but its 20 Euro.

great then a must buy

 

[sarkwalvein]

I still haven't died.
How not to die: Learn to flee like a Sir.
The Barracks always welcome you.

I love making Magic Nuke characters like this:

Maxed MA on level 42, if i´m not mistaken.

 

[BORTZ]

What game is that from? Looks like ps2 era... Nocturne?

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, great game, too bad it takes about 15 Hours to finish.

 

[BORTZ]

That's pretty short for a smt game!

 

[weavile001]

Because there is a Sequel, Digital devil saga 2, it´s almost the ''Main game'', the first one is just a Build-up while the second one is more complex with everything.
I´m about 20 Hours in and there's no sign of it ending soon.

 

[BORTZ]

Huh that's kind weird

Magic Main Character is by far the best way to go. Its the easiest way to abuse the press turn system, and towards the end of the game when every demon resists goddamn everything you can just Megidolaon your way to easy victory. Youre also 0% dependent on gear which can be pricey.

You can make a physical character and do fine though as long as you dont pump strength. My first playthrough was with a pure dex gunner and it was fairly effective for the most part, just noticeably less effective than a mage.
