Shin Megami Tensei series

Megatron · Jul 25, 2009

I've spent most of my gaming time this year playing various SMT titles (I beat Persona 3 and Nocturne both in June-July, lol) and I luuuuvs them. I'd probably be through Devil Survivor by now if it weren't for the whole "oops I bought a PS3" thing that turned me into an Infamous crackwhore for a week.

With over 300 demons, I'm sure there's space in there for Nekomata

Though I still want a HD MegaTen with Kazuka Kaneko doing the character design. Persona 5 will probably be the guy from 3 and 4 again. I'd like to see something in the style of Nocturne in HD.

Yeah, prolly. :monster:

Second that. Part of the reason I got Nocturne was because of its art direction (as they call it, or so I believe). Another part was cos of its EU release name ("Lucifer's Call", huh? Int'resting...). :awesome:

That's in my 'finished but not completely finished' stack

Tell me about it. I bought it juuust before the New Year (literally - it was between Christmas and New Year), and I'm still playing it. My Noise Report is 100%, items 100%, * Rank for the Final Time Attack, just to master all the Pins now. And get my ESPer Points up through more battles - I'm only a C rank, there. :awesome:

OK, I'll shut up before this gets spammy.

Strange Journey official site. There's a trailer there as well, although you don't see much of the game itself. The character page has a little video of the naming screen though :monster:

I don't remember my stats, but I'm pretty sure they weren't 100% :awesome:

Mantichorus · Jul 28, 2009

What can I say, I haven't enjoyed a game this much since Okami - and before that, Nocturne, before that, the PS1 FF games, before that, ...well, there's pretty much only Pokemon... :awesome:

And my Pin stat isn't 100% - only 90.something%...

Thanks for the link info. I'll have to check that some other time, when I'm on a library PC - my home PC is infamously slow at loading such sites. :monster:

Does anyone know anything about Shin Megami Tensei: iMagine, and if it's coming out anywhere outside of Japan? :huh:

(If you don't know... Imagine, or iMagine, or however they're marketing it, is an MMORPG.

)

It's already available~!

I've played it a bit but I haven't touched it in a while. My name there is Natoli.

Mantichorus · Jul 28, 2009

Cheers! ...Would that work in the UK, y'know? :huh:

I've never MMORPG'd before, but MegaTen is pretty awesome, and I've seen a guy in a trailer who looks a bit like Big Boss. :awesome:

God only knows why Big Boss is in a SMT game, but if Dante can appear...

Super Mario · Jul 28, 2009

whats wrong with Persona 4?! the game's an exciting piece, truly worthy of the Ps2's dying or dead era.

I thought it'd be crap by the title but some friends convinced me to try it and then... I was a zombie by day because of trying to finish it lol. well that was 3 days ago.

Megatron · Jul 29, 2009

Persona 3 is arguably better. That said, I haven't finished P4.

Super Mario · Jul 29, 2009

I should try P3 then. Sigh, no PS3 so I gotta make the best of what good and decent game's got for PS2 for now.

Alessa Gillespie · Jul 29, 2009

I liked P4 better than P3, because it captured more of the persona feel to the game.

Frostwave · Jul 29, 2009

The only thing that really nagged me about P3 was the fact that you couldn't finish the girls' S. Links without "going out" with them. I mean, you can if you work it out, but I don't like making the MC a little two-timer.

The option to take the friends route with the females in P4 was nice.

Super Mario · Jul 29, 2009

I paired him with Chie. THAT WAS DELICIOUS. I didn't want to pair him with Jailbaits Ayane, and Rise. lulz. But I'm hoping Kanji pairs with Rise in the end. Oh who am I kidding, it's turned into bro-mance between my MC and Yousuke and Kanji.

Frostwave · Jul 29, 2009

I've played P4 twice so far, and I went for the same girl both times.

Next time, Chie! I will do something different, I swear!

Has anyone here fixed him up with Yumi before? Her English VA has me too scared to. I keep seeing Ed and Anise in my head. It's weird. :/

Super Mario · Jul 29, 2009

If only P4 allows the playboy system, I would've made MC Persona's Tony Stark. coupled with Yosuke and Kanji treatment, he'd be Dr. House as well.

Frostwave · Jul 29, 2009

I've noticed a lot of Ai hate lately. I mean, she's kind of a bitch, but I like her. Her S. Link cracked me up, too.

Specifically when she almost attempted suicide. Oh, you teenager, you.

Super Mario · Jul 30, 2009

I never intend to complete Ai's SLink, Buuuut if I'm gonna want that Izanagi power up x9000, I've no choice! I've yet to unlock the death fanatic old woman and the nurse. And it's already september/Naoto rescue arc for me! No...NO!! NOOOOOOOOO!! good news is I managed to max out Chie with her loving MC/Seta.

Mantichorus · Jul 30, 2009

IMHO, the only thing P3 has over P4 is "Burn My Dread", which is just an awesome song. Pity about the rest of P3's soundtrack. :monster:

But then again, the only MegaTen game I've ever completed is Nocturne. TWICE. (True Demon and Shijima endings - seen the rest on youtube, though.)

:lol:

Never got him

her

in my party, but I liked Naoto.

Super Mario · Jul 31, 2009

Good god I hate finding info on Naoto, at this rate, he'll be dead and I have to find info on him all over again!!!!!

So far there's a girl in the practice building who knows of him, yet I can't find her! ANY CHAPS WILLING TO LEND ME A HAND?

I did find it a little ~~awesome~~ odd that once you slept with a girl you were free to go out with another. :awesome:

Don't you know? All the girls in P3 just want the hero's spooge. Much like Saya in Saya no Uta... :shifty:

I liked Ai. Her social link was enjoyable.

The only social link I've ever disliked was Chihiro's from Persona 3.

What is all of this Naoto being a him BS about?

For some reason, in game characters all think Naoto is male initally, despite it being pathetically obvious that she's a she in guys clothing. And a pretty cute she, too.

copy/pasted -
Talk to Girl inside school. (can't remember where, just keep looking.)

Talk to police officer in the North shopping district.

Talk to Chie at Riverbed.

Talk to Police Officer again.

Talk to Housewife in front of the shrine.

Come back the next day and talk to a police officer in the South Shopping District.

Super Mario · Aug 1, 2009

Done. Now we conquer this secret lab. It seems our

little girl is playing Dexter, and not the serial killer dexter we all know. The enemies are tough, and I've got whew. 15 days to save her

, fortunately I have a good habit of finishing the dungeons in one or two days flat. hehehehehahahahahaahahaha! Nothing can cock block me! NOTHING! Though Naoto's and

Mitsuo's

shitty side quest to find out more about them in order to find them in the tube is verily annoying.
