I wonder if he's supposed to be like that one really rowdy guy everyone knew in high school that was constantly getting in trouble and even getting arrested but then he met a girl, got married, had a kid, and then ended up mellowing out. I guess they had those types back in ancient Japan too, huh?

Why doesn't Sega just put in miku as a demon so each game sells a million copies?

>>538215627
Persona can do that.

Kudos to the anon who drew it

>>538216591
I remember it was made right after the ICMBs hit and forced us underground for a time.

as soon as I'm done my smt iv walkthrough there's another HD texture pack released.

SEXO

one thing that i've noticed since i've started digging through smt forums and shit but why does this game community have so many poor third worlders? bruh for this being a niche ass jrpg the amount of stupid ass questions I see on the subreddit is staggering.

I want to start Strange Journey Redux and wondered which difficulty is most similar to the original.
Is Expert harder than the original? And if so, is it in bullshit ways or tastefully?

As someone who's currently reading the DEN series, fully naked to near naked adventures through the wasteland is a very unique aesthetic, that drawing which is pure sexo btw has a very underground pulp comics vide, amazing job by the artist.

WHY

What's your question?

>>538223516
bump >>538218702

>>538223604
Dunno what to tell you. A friend of mine is selling me his copies of an Etrian Odyssey and SJR for 3DS because I always wanted to own physical copies of at least one game of each franchise.

As for the question I didn't think it was a dumb question compared to the usual stupidity that plagues reddit. The admins did me a solid permanently banning me from there, everytime I visited it I just ended getting angry because the people there are so fucking stupid it's insane. I learned the hard way to never interact with the fanbases of the things I like.

>>538224557

That subreddit is the only place that posts scans of interviews and magazines so it's not completely useless. We just tend to forget in the middle of a content drought that's the case. Also every once in a while you do get informed opinions from there. Not often but like with everywhere else you occasionally run into someone who isn't a retard.

>>538229884
Every single famitsu scan I have came from the shitty subreddit. Like it or not, they're the only ones who bother posting this stuff.

>>538213868
Thing is, it's not just him. In SMT (and its spin-offs) Japan's heroes are heroes and Japan's villains are villains, with absolute zero critical thinking of their myths. It's hard NOT to compare with the treatment a certain other religion gets...

>>538231582
Masakado is not a hero and gets the hero treatment.

>>538231652
>Masakado is not a hero
Nyes? The Japanese are a bit weird about him...

>>538231652
It depends heavily on which region of Japan you're from

>>538199851
I have concluded that this game is dildos. The random tripping and constant rng weapon breaking are some of the most obnoxiously shit "mechanics" I've ever seen in vidya.
Regardless we press on towards Jerusalem. Took out the first boss and am currently solving puzzles to fix a pretty bad flood getting in the way of our progress.

It's late and I feel like posting the results to a bit of digging I was doing for a while.
Rokuro Saito said she wanted people to understand the metaphor behind this picture but what interested me was when she said the art was "inspired by symbols and allegories in Western paintings" because I really wanted to know what this meant. The flower and the "non-human being" appearing in a dream like state was inspired by Japanese folklore. So the only thing that could be inspired by western paintings had to be the pose and the positioning. So I finally found out what this is called, it's a pose called A-Framing that became very popular in the 1960s in the west and it started because of the movie poster for the Bond film 'For Your Eyes Only'.
The A-Frame was used before this obviously but sparingly. I can't find many old paintings that use it and one source I looked up said it was used in 19th century engravings but I've yet to find these images so I don't think she was going that obscure with it.
In comic books, the A-Frame is used to set up a mystery character as a tease for what the issue is about which could be part of the intention here but this is usually set up as like a showdown. Action movie posters also do this with the hero and the antagonist which is obviously not what we have here. But typically when the subject is laying down between the legs it's almost always for sex appeal. The subject towering about is supposed to show sexual dominance and the subject below being dominated. This is pretty much always the case in every movie poster I've seen with similar poses.

So after my research, I think the only thing I can come up with in regards to her comment about "Western paintings" is that she was looking up western movie posters with sexy A-Framing. The end of my search kind of feels like opening a "dead dove do not eat" paper bag. I don't know what else I expected. But if you want to read this article, go ahead:

you're playing lbs? lmao have fun. it's really bad. i only played it because i liked the graphics and atmosphere. iirc speed and luck are op stats. speed lets you hit multiple times. luck for crits.

>>538237971
I was hoping after the unexpected kino of Last Bible 3 that Special might be good too but instead god punishes me for my hubris. While looking up how classes work I noticed that it's so utterly ignored that nobody even bothered to make maps. That's impressively bad given the amount of old grognard spergs out there with the oddly specific obsession of mapping out every retro rpg.

>>538238492
a jp site might have maps. but yes, lbs sucks beyond belief. i still actually enjoyed playing it though. i liked the graphics that much.

>>538238492
also, nearly every "puzzle" in that game is just rng. it's not just the rng weapon mechanics you have to contend with.

>>538238492

Now it's time to relax and get our wounds healed at the local hospi- 300% UPCHARGE FROM THE LAST STOP BITCH ISN'T AVARICE A SIN?
I can barely afford all of the bullshit weapon repairs and now you want to nickel and dime me because my channeler looks like a satan worshipper who bathes in the ashes of the pious and innocent? Go fuck yourself, we'll limp our gimpy asses back through the demon infested fort to get cheaper board.

This is a dungeon according to Vfags.

The "da'at areas are dungeons" tactic doesn't pass, there is an obvious and easily articulately difference between the design of the da'at areas and the areas in V that are actually intended to be dungeons (The demon kings castle, shakan and the temple of eternity)

I mean on top that Brazil has a massive history concerning occultism, Candomble, Macumba, spiritism, I mean there is literally a whole Messian vs Gaian thing with Umbanda and Qimbanda. A load of thelemites, rosicruscians etc. are Brazilian as well.

So yes, unironically

>>538269758
Other way around actually, actually pretty much unironically in nocturne since physical skills scale with VIT making STR pretty much useless outside of that one Magatama which is admittedly a very, very important one

>>538269758

>>538269758
>occult magic based series

???????

>>538208097 (OP)
Also, what’s with JRPG fans being pretty anti-Magic playthroughs in general? In dark souls Magic is by far the best and most efficient way to play and it gets shat on because of that, in SMT magic sometimes tends to be the harder way to play and it gets shat on because of that. Is it some sort of cope?

>>538264327
No.

I finally, finally, FINALLY beat DDS2.
Man. I still think it's a really good game, but it really is missing just that something that hooked me so hard with DDS1. I completed everything in 1, even Demifiend, but I feel no drive to do the same for 2.
I think the setting being less interesting, and the pacing feeling really fucked just hurt my motivation to play 2.1/3rd of the whole game feels like it's within the final dungeon.
Still, glad that I finally did finish it, and can move on to a new SMT game. Still gotta figure out what that is.

I hate to say it but does anyone feel that IV is heavily "overrated" right now? It has great worldbuilding and music I'll agree with that but it kinda drops the ball with everything else yet people jerk it off as the best megaten game. Even I can understand people saying III is the best but IV just feels like people just REALLY got into the whole Mikado atmosphere and then never got out to Tokyo. Gameplay is done significantly better in IVA and V and with how poorly balanced it is, it feels like ass going back to IV after playing the two. I'm also just massively disappointed in the story and it's quite similar to how V just fucks up the story but people seem to forget how scuffed the plot after the reactor is in IV.

>>538273936
I think all of the optional stuff in the Sun is fun. Satan is also a good boss even if he isn't as tough as the Demi-fiend.
>>538273985
It's always been overrated. I still enjoy it but I think it's a very messy game.

>>538273936
the plot is so underrated when you get to this twist I was right at the edge of my fucking seat. The whole thing was fucking cinema the whole way through. I want to finish it off but I lost both my DDS1&2 save and I'm constantly struggling between picking Heat or Roland. Heat is more fitting and he is cool. But Roland is legit the coolest character in all megaten.

>>538274170
It's just so weird people hyping it up to be PEAK and IVA was actually the worst mainline for the dumbest reasons. I don't mean to be a contrarian but I swear to god every time I see the "cognitive" opinion for megaten games, there's a good chance I'll disagree with it and it's not like I'm doing it purposely. It genuinely does feel like either people are misremembering games or making them seem so much more or less than it actually is.

>>538273936
The final dungeon is easily the lowest point of DDS2 for me, which is a shame because thematically it's great.
>>538274205
>But Roland is legit the coolest character in all megaten.
I love Roland and Indra, but wouldn't go that far personally, pretty cool that you think that though, a lot of people just disregard him as the Heat replacement..

>>538274440
You also have to remember that IV was many people's first exposure to mainline so they tend to overrate it because of that. I suppose Nocturne is sometimes rated highly for the same reason but I think it's a much more coherent game. I never got the feeling that many people started with IVA, probably since it's a direct sequel.

>>538274730
I agree but I also question some of these "ecelebs" opinions on this stuff. I haven't really find a smttuber that isn't talking out of their ass.

>>538274170
Even after I grinded for those random drops to do those 2 optional fights in the Sun, I ultimately just didn't do them. I was just kinda tired of the game and didn't feel like putting in the effort for those fights.
But that's why I made that separate save, if in case I do ever want to do them without going full NG+
>>538274205
That stuff was good, but it just didn't grip me much. The mystery of 1 was just more appealing, and I think the characters got to shine more. At times 2 almost had this 'going through the motions' feel to it with it's pacing.
>>538274501
Yeah. I liked it at first but as it kept going and going it just felt like more of a slog.

>>538274205
Not taking Heat feels like a betrayal to me.

>>538276005
You might even call it... a Hunting -Betrayal-

Is Dx2 worth starting and trying out as someone who has played mostly every other smt game, or is it a majorly hollow experience in comparison?
How gacha is the gacha.

>>538284049
I wouldn't call it hollow but it's definitely different.
A lot of the single player content are puzzle fight too if you like those.
>How gacha is the gacha.
Very, now is the best time to start since there's a fuckton of banner to reroll for.

I've never done it, is it worth it? I do like IVA's gameplay.

I finished reading Devilman Lady. It was a retarded kusomanga, biggest recent disappointing read I had.
Do not be swayed by hot muscular demoness ripping demons in half. This manga is the worst MegaTen adjacent thing I read so far and it turns to shit after it's done with its middle part set in Hell.
I know the anime basically just decides to ditch most of the kuso aspects of the manga and instead turns into a yuri version of the og Devilman, which is preferable over whatever the fuck I just read.

This reading was spurred by noticing how Abdiel's fallen form's design is inspired by Devilman Lady even if as a character she riffs on Sirene (and does so badly, one of the lamest homages I can think of ). No idea why this homage in particular is a thing apart from aesthetic.
But there are other things that Atlus I think took from this shitty manga: one I remember clearly is the demonic gene, which is actually from before the story goes to shit.
Then at some point, the manga also references Kudan which while it *is* a kinda famous yokai I wonder if this is the story that set them on using it for Raidou.
Honestly there are more things that set off my alarms but I can't remember them now, at some point I just started speedreeding from the disappointment.

>>538287776
You've convinced me to watch the anime, thanks

>>538288657
Tell me how it goes, I am interested in it but I don't feel like watching it yet.

>>538287776

SMT tactics game in the vein of gihren's greed where you get to pic a faction in the original SMT/DS/P timeline starting from taisho, playing through history but also getting to make various choices depending on your play and faction choice that alter the timeline and can lead to various different endings

>>538297949

>>538301010
>>538298649
Actually, nevermind. I looked up Reiko's dialogue to refresh my memory and you were actually correct, she's way more confident and determined a character than Miyazu.
There's only one way I can atone for this.

Famed Mussolini

Hero Hitler

>>538289830
Devilman and the parts of Violence Jack and GeGeGe No Kitaro that were available to me at the time. I feel like there is more in here that I am not remembering but these are the main ones that come to mind.
In case anyone is curious about Devilman's influence on SMT just read the original manga. Go Nagai isn't very good with the occult or mythology so idt it's for all SMT fans either.

>but IV just feels like people just REALLY got into the whole Mikado atmosphere and then never got out to Tokyo
4 was my first game, and I went in blind, so getting to the bottom of Naruku and discovering that you were just on top of a shell over the ruins of Tokyo was one of the coolest reveals ever to me.
That being said, I still wouldn't consider it the best Megaten game. That's Soul Hackers.

Why did they stop making low rent 2D games? Maybe we could get games and spinoffs more frequently if they didn't insist on converting to 3D games full time

>>538311287
Lower budget spinoffs have died off in general and it makes me sad.

>>538311016

The Game Boy/DS line dying has done more profound damage than we can know.

>>538312020
Yeah but even if it's nothing but a graphical update for switch 2 an nothing else he'll shit post the general up with that so it's a lose, lose situation unless we just get nothing at all and he isn't provoked.

>>538315554
>making up random nonsensical shit no one can understand now
Just go back to spamming flopdou, this is dumb.

>>538315554
It's because this series went through a dark age from 2009 to 2018 where cutscenes were a pipe dream and all you got to see were sprites. Now that we have retvrned to 3D -- where SMT truly shined in its history -- the developers showcased all their passion for this series.

>>538316247
Bugman hands typed this

Put Oyama in charge of VI just so we can see what a game headed by him without Yamai’s influence and IV:A’s retarded “lets make a plot for really dumb teenagers that don’t play SMT” shit would be like.
Put Yamai in a padded cell and make him work on Raidou forever while slowly giving him less and less budget and resources until he’s eventually solo deving Raidou V.
Throw Komori back onto the EO team and actually release Next Stage.

Nobody praises the old man in SMT1, you literally made that up to get mad at

Nobody reacted like this and everybody that’s honest with themselves knows that SMT1’s plot outside of the premise kind of sucks.

>>538320446
>no one praises that
No one complains either. Most everyone forgives it because of his neutral speech being good but I'd argue all of Goko's side chats you can find in every map when he's standing around as a NPC are just as good.

>>538320590
>Most everyone forgives it
I think it’s that most people forget about him, just like with Goko.

>>538320230
The old man is LITERALLY just a guy with no pretence of any greater expectation.
He's not a good character but he's not annoyingly lacking
Goko is attached to the big magic maguffin item of the game and is a direct equivalent to kagatsuchi.
His lack of fight is conspicuous and unsatisfactory.
If the game itself didn't nostalgiabait nocturne so hard maybe him not having a fight wouldn't be as conspicuous, but it's their own fault the obvious comparison to the equivalent figure in nocturne is there

Hero Goku

>>538321410
>Nocturne sequel game is supposed to be mirror opposite to the game it's based on
>Kagatsuchi parallel won't fight you because the last one did.
They'll probably say it themselves later but they wanted the GW to look like the good guy compared to how Maniax made him look I assume. So Goko is benevolent and helpful, and Kagatsuchi is unhelpful and petty.

Gimp is free, my nigga

Next game needs a super masculine MC with a super feminine heroine

Majin Tensei 2 has the most masculine protagonist

>>538323791
Why is it always demi and v-kun

>>538323791
This looks like an awkward gay wedding or something and it makes SMT1 Hero look like he's the minister reading off the vows while getting raptured for it by YVHV himself mid-speech. Pretty weird fanart.

>>538326601
Atlus West commissioned that picture by the way. I suspect their new hires are Demibino fags.

>>538326861
>>538323791
Is this art by Personasama? It looks like his artstyle. He is a long time western fan.

>>538326973
Yes, the signature is just below Mothman head.

>>538326601
Besides Flynn and Nanashi, they're the two protags who interact the most with one another. You can kick Demifiend's ass and then make him hang out with you in the Haunts, but he's such a chuuni turbo autist that he just makes Pixie talk for him and that's kind of endearing. I guess if people aren't into the whole bara and twink thing with Aogami and V-kun and either don't like Raidou or just don't know about him harrassing Demifiend, having two similarly-aged twinks kiss is the next best thing. I dunno, fujos are weird, man.

>>538326973
Yes and it's a weird pic since they've never drawn shit with Demi and Bino together like that. It was always Vkun and Aogami wholesome family pics. I can only assume it's because some degen at Atlus West asked.

Give me a Baal build for SMT5. I like him a lot and he's very versatile, but I don't know what skills to slap on him. I'm leaning toward Wind+Fire focus but I'll roll with whatever seems good.

No there is a just a group of retards that insist it's pedo shit. They want V to be gay but NOT LIKE THAT kind of delusional cope.

>>538328456
I haven't been paying attention to the meta, is he not? His innate is really good.

>>538328081
Stats tell me he's mostly a big magic stick, can go into Ailments too but probably want luck essences to help with ailment reliability due to his low luck (at his level). Omagatoki Charge does mean he can be a gateway to some heavy nuking stats (Succession x4-5 in one round if I remember it right, if you have Satan, his magatsuhi skill also works).

Note you could replace a couple of the low pleromas for Hellish Mask/Enduring Soul as desired while keeping him flexible with two elements to work with.

They're scared shitless of him because of how much of a villain he is. He's not really treated as a hero in Japan generally.

Im tired of deserts

>>538328572
Ah yes, I should have known. I always see more Aogami and V-kun on the Japanese side of Twatter than the English one, after all. Typical westoid behavior.

>>538275339
I think I'd have looked more kindly on it if it wasn't such a crapshoot to unlock the optional bosses on the Sun.

I wish we could have a nuclear winter setting. You’d expect to be in Antarctica until you see the map looks like downtown Tokyo, or that the subway systems is the best way to go around the region without getting annihilated by an army of wendigos.

>>538323362
Not a drawfag but the idea's funny

>>538332060
I most hate them because they attacked one of the scenario writers of SMT1 on twitter when he posted about Aogami and the MC in a romantic context (because that's what's in the game) and they called him a pedophile. Thankfully he knows english and told them to shut up but think of how many non-english speakers they've attacked if they're that brazen about it.

SMT1? She was literally GROOMED for you that's what makes it PERFECT. HELL SHE'S PUT ON A CROSS TO GET EXECUTED THATS PERFECT MATERIAL

>>538345943
As anon said we barely get smt porn much less good ones. And you’re asking for something that niche? Won’t happen

someone talked about devilman lady early on and honestly looking back at Go Nagai's stuff.
my god the dude is hard carried by his concepts. the actual execution gets goofy and i swear almost none of his actual books start good and end good except maybe Devilman. Everything else is incomplete, a fucking mess, or doesn't even go anywhere. Other than Devilman I wish there was ONE fucking entry that felt solid the whole way through. Even Devilman meanders and gets kinda meh in the middle.

>>538346117
>NTR
>Niche
WRONG

>>538346231
>ntr of a character from a game nobody played involving a scene that lasts maybe thirty seconds

>>538346363
yes why does go nagai manga sometimes feel like damn cliffnotes as itself. nothing like a go nagai ending when it's so we're all reborn. LETS FIGHT AGAINST GOD! (again. the end.)

>>538346231
Hard agree on Go Nagai's work. Devilman is probably his best and it's still messy at times. It really ramps up in the mid-late stages of the story and it left me wondering if he just didn't know how to get from point C to point D cleanly, so it sort of just accelerated through the "war" part of the story. The early parts of the story felt like they built up properly even if they were a bit goofy at times, but it sort of stalled until it just stomped on the gas all at once.

>>538346231
>>538346771
Because Nagai likes style over pacing. He’d rather have a bombastic and chaotic end or even a weird pacing just to get to the next twist, shocking moment, or cool fight. Most of his works feel like cliff notes because Nagai himself wants to showcase some cool idea he has and doesn’t want to make you wait for it. It’s why some of his works have such weird pacing and even when he tries to slow things down, it has the opposite effect. Cool premise and initial ideas and moments, but man you’ll be hard pressed to find a nagai work that doesn’t have some weird pacing issue

>>538347135
like I got interested in devilman saga and it STILL FUCKING ENDS LIKE SHIT FUCKKKKKKK. I wish someone could make an adaptation and doctor his work so they don't end in a "...to be continued (but not really)"
Actually I should probably look into the adaptations now but I dunno which ones are actually complete, do their own thing (Crybaby [kinda], Re:Cutie Honey) or just fun cliffnotes movies like the Devilman OVA.

>>538347618
I could have sworn that I had heard ages ago that even Nagai didn't know what the fuck was up with Devilman's ending, but I forgot about the finer details and don't remember where I had read this tidbit of information. I think he said that remembering making the ending was a blur or something lol

So we agree all the Nahobino pairs were Adam and Eve allegories, right?

Just wanted to update somewhere. The worst part of the guide, all the maps, is next and that's gonna be 80 pages straight I think. With the rate I'm going at it'll be a while, so after tomorrow I'll try scanning more at once
