>>3810991 (OP) That's not depth, just enemies being overtuned and having a lot of RNG that can screw you over, both in and outside of combat. It most just boils down hitting weaknesses, landing crits and buffing your stats and nerfing enemy stats. Same strat basically every time.
>>3811000 Nice trips. Checked. Also give some JRPG recommendations that have depth if you disagree with OP.
SMT IV: Apocalypse is even better. My favorite SMT game. The end-game was really fun, multiple loops to get the best gear and challenge yourself, sick music, art, enemies. I love it.
