Gin/Haru's path beats all the others. I think it's too late to choose his path too. I choose the worst paths in the game

It's probably the best 'good' ending that you get in this game. Some of the other endings are left open where you don't know how it really ended beside what happened after the lockdown. Who knows, maybe a sequel can be made out of one of the endings.

As for your Q concerning Amane and Naoya,

Spoiler

They're pretty much opposite stories but the battles that you'll encounter will be sort of similar. You either side with the demon and aim to overthrow God (which unfortunately, you don't get to do in the game) or you can side with the angel and be their messenger. You'll get a better story from Amane's side though because you'll learn about the story about the brothers Cain and Abel. I don't remember Naoya showing his true intentions when I chose his path.

Spoiler

So Naoya's supposed to Cain and MC is Abel?
Those who finished Naoya's path,what's his real intention?In Asturo's path,he has to wait 1000 years for something.

Spoiler

Finished his path a while ago but yes, Naoya is Cain and the MC is Abel. The essence of Abel can be found in many people on Earth but they do not retain the memories of their past. On the other hand, Cain is an individual being which throughout time has retained the memories through all history. His quench for revenge seems to have accumulated over the ages and he wanted to do it through the means of Abel. You'll get a more in-depth story about it when you finish Amane's path.

 

[Mr.Mysterio]

Ah!I see!
I guess I will do Amane's path some time later.

Day 5 12:00 Question

Spoiler

Ok so i returned Mari her bag at 9:00, and at 12:00 i see 2 options. A fight with Mari and a fight with Keisuke, i did the one with Mari and then Keisuke's battle is gone, at 13:30, i have a fight against Kaido and his demon and i'm getting my ass kicked because i use all up my MP for MC and Yuzu (which i was planning to use ice attacks up that damn guys ass) and die every single time or i just loose my mainstream demons. I watched the a walkthrough video (japanese version) and right after they saved Mari, they went to save Keisuke, he saved BOTH. Is it actually possible and how can i do that? Is there a way to save both?

Spoiler

Yeah, you can. It depends whether you've talked to Kaido and Mari in the previous days though. On the morning of the 5th day, you are discussing how the time frame is really tight and that how you can keep them apart. If there's an option saying 'Miss Mari' for distracting Kaido, then it means you can save them both. If not, then you missed some pre-requisite. After you're done talking, you would go to Kaido and give him the bag so that he can go to Mari and help her instead of looking for Keisuke. When you do that, you'll get the regular fight with the vampire at 12:00 and at 13:00, you'll be fighting Keisuke. You'll be able to recruit him again after that event.

As for you getting your ass kicked, all you can do is level up a bit before battling him. I don't think I had much problem with him but I usually free battle a bit.

Buy a lot of 5 star demons.You will eventually unlock platinum!

 

[stallonef]

Some of the "better" demons are worse than the "old" ones in my opinion.

thanks! i got tired of the weak demons in gold so i stopped buying and ended up stocking up alot of macca, so it was easy to get to platnium + get some new demons

 

[Mr.Mysterio]

Glad I helped!
I was stuck with basic for a long time cause I thought that the other levels will unlock eventually as the story progresses and didnt bother buying the demons.

 

[HainexCross12]

This game is aggrivating! But I love it.
Does anyone know how to complete Tokyo Lockdown, when the team sees Naoya, chases him, and demons appear?
r-r Gahh.

-This is on day one, right? Just battle the demons and you'll do fine. I suggest you be around level 7 to 8-ish before you attempt this battle. If the demons are still kicking your arse, do some free battles to level up a bit. Take care of the Moh Shuyuu first.

-Personally, I never used the timeskip option. o_o
Are you having problems because you used it? Try skipping forward again.

I'ts never marked where you have to go. The marks are where you have to fight. You may go wherever there is an clock event to see something happen and the time will pass.

The timeskip option can be use to skip to the next obligatory event, but you'll never be forced to use it to wait for the next event to happen.
