One of the best OSTs in gaming ever

This unironically hurts my ears. I really dislike this.

Go back to jerking off to death grips, gay teen

SMT IV is the Gundam seed of SMT games. a good modernization/reimagination of the originals and only contrarian fags day otherwise

>>717655726
What is it with gamers constantly asking for rehashes? Just download the fucking game. Atlus does enough remake slop already.

>>717655093 (OP)
Is anyone else bothered by the writing of SMTIV? I mean, this can be said for other SMT games but the characters aren't fleshed out enough for my liking.

>>717659150
No, I think there is just the right amount of characterisation. The protag should ideally be a blank slate self-insert and the alignment reps should have just enough for you to relate to their ideals, but not to them as individuals per se. They shouldn't just be cardboard cutouts, but they can't be your persona buddies either, the inevitable split has to feel natural.
The dynamic of SMT IV's party managed the above well.

>>717655093 (OP)
No defence stat single-handedly made the game feel terrible.

>>717658861
Can you please explain why? More detailly

>11 years ago
what the fuck

>>717659562
yeah....

>>717655093 (OP)
For me it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd6zu7anvgQ

>>717659449
It has nothing to do with the defense stat. Nocturne doesn't have a defense stat and everything works fine. It's the lack of balance for enemy HP values and skill damage. Not poor balance, no balance. The game was rushed, all the demons use their unadjusted stat values that are uniform across the game. This includes HP, they just took a shot in the dark for HP pools for bosses, regular demons use their laughably low HP values as if they're in a player's party. Basically it plays like Pokemon.

I'm suprised someone like Sseth haven't made SMT IV or Nocturne video. Anyway, great video about SMT https://youtu.be/vj_opFakhWI?si=5YBazBtwZCZ_EP7q

>>717655726
My main issue with this is that if they ever decide to remake the 3DS games, they will remove the soulful animated sprites. Always liked how fast-paced they looked along with the background as well.
I just want a port instead.

>>717662996
You are insane if you think Atlus will ever replace all those demon sprites with actual models.

Can I use this thread to shit on Atlus superboss design? They're all garbage, no exception.

ALMOST 10/10 game but sadly it's too fucking easy

>>717655093 (OP)
never played this game but the soundtrack is great

>>717663676
Average smt4 fan

I'm hoping SMT VI is closer to IV with human settlements and all that instead of an empty deserted world like in V and Nocturne

>>717659150
it's actually the best writing in SMT mainline lol
strange journey isnt mainline

>genuinely one of my favourite games ever
>never got a physical release in u-rope
>eshop gone, literally inaccessible outside of emulation/ jailbreaking until atlus makes a port
its a shame its locked away behind so much bullshit.
frankly im surprised etrian odyssey got ports and yet none of the DS/3DS smt games are still stuck on there for nearly a decade now.

>>717664643
You could go back to normal Tokyo in V.

>>717655726
I hope soon.

>>717665648
It's not the same.

I enjoyed Apocalypse more

>>717665648
Normal Tokyo was just 3 small areas, the admin building, your dorm roof, and the shrine. 99% of the game is spent outside of normal Tokyo

>>717665754
It's a better game in every aspect except the story, but let's not pretend like 4 had a good story.

>>717655093 (OP)
SMTV felt utterly soulless in comparison.

>>717664643
>IV and IV:A are spoofs of I and II
>V is III/Nocturne
VI would be SJ or go back to I-II style again I suppose

>>717661421
Yeah, 4 just feels like it was not playtested at all. It's amazing how many obvious beta issues 4:A fixes like how free MP refills on level up nuked any sense of attrition in 4

>>717659150
I find it unsatisfying how it does so much right and then just kind of fritters it away on Tokyo bloat and then the standard meh SMT alignment split where it's either commit horrific atrocities that edgy kids defend on the internet or do a lame neutral ending.

>>717665978
I don't understand how 4 is supposed to be 1. I'd just say 4 and 4A are both aspects of SMT 2.

Doing an actual spiritual successor of SMT 1 means you start out as a person in the real world and then the real world is destroyed midgame, which sounds hard and expensive with modern standards. Like racing games have been afraid to do city courses since the PS3 era because it's so hard to build the assets.

>top down map icon doesn't matter
>doesn't understand megaten sovl
You just don't get it.

>>717665916
Fuck off. Going from IV, a game where demons have no characterization and are all utterly unremarkable mechanically, to V, a game that is entirely about the Demon's mythology and every demon feels unique and has beautiful animations, is what soul is. SMT is demons first.

The irony of this image is that, while yes he's two men fused together, this makes him gay. While Nahobino like Dazai and Yakumo who fuse with women, are not gay.

>>717655093 (OP)
Law was the only right path
Neutral made Flynn into a retarded traitor who destroyed his own homeland, the closest thing to a peaceful land in the whole damn world, for the sake of a doomed shithole filled with monsters, psychopaths and demons.

>>717669832
You rescue all the people that the angels haven't already genocided and you can move 5 miles to the left of tokyo after that and rebuild their mud huts if you want

>>717669832
You're really gonna ignore both all the decent people in Tokyo and the corrupt feudalism in Mikado just to Christfag for a version of the deity that would have genocided you with the rest of the degenerates?

>>717670131
>Destroy the wall.
>Outside world is still filled with demons anyway.
Neutral resolves nothing, people can now see the sun before getting eaten but that is all it changed.

>>717670253
big fuckin deal, learn to summon.

Do I need to play these games in order or can I start with this one

>>717670253
You tear down the oppressive power structures in both Tokyo and Mikado in the neutral route, providing a chance for both groups to get a fresh start. Every functioning computer has a Demon Summoning Program already, the military was already dealing with the demons jiat fine, Masakado made the firmamant to protect Tokyo from the nukes.

>>717670765
Only ordering in mainline is 2 is a direct sequel to 1 and apocalypse is an alternative telling of IV. Start with any of them, I personally prefer III and hate V

>>717670765
You can start with any game. 4 is a fine start

>>717659562
Wanna know how many years since SMT III Nocturne?
22 years

I want to replay this game, but I remember it being too easy, is there any romhack a challenge run I can do?

>>717659562
Feeling old, anon?

>>717659562
>>717670982
>>717671116
Recognize your transience and embrace your mortality.

>>717671116
Don't worry I got you. Ps3, xbox360 and Wii an PSP and Hyperscan are all 20 years old ^-^ ps2|xbox and gamecube are almost 30.

>>717662996
>My main issue with this is
You don't have an issue with that aka a port.
You have an issue with a remake.

Btw you are insane if you think Atlus will ever remake SMT4 or SMT4A and replace all their demon sprites with actual models and animations. It's not happening.
The 4 duology is either getting a port or a remaster at most.

>>717670834
V is also a sequel to III

Ironic since Marisa has the most ear bleeding song to ever exist https://youtu.be/1pDM6fQUfJs?list=RD1pDM6fQUfJs&t=200

>>717663607
war felt like a good difficulty IMO

>>717655093 (OP)
IV probably has my favorite video game OST ever and my biggest disappointment with V is it didnt come even close with the sound track. That and you know the game fucking sucks

Insanely atmospheric game but by the gods it's insultingly easy

>>717673469
so many sprites needing porn art

>>717672792
This except literally the opposite. V's OST is better and it's a way better game.

>>717676024

many such cases
