LTTP: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Always have a general plan for the Hitoshura and stick with it. Be jack of all trades and you'll rely FAR too much on your demons for the specifics and that can get pricey.

I don't know what it is about me but I never make use of Charge or Focus or Concentrate in any Megaten I play. It's probably dumb but I guess I'm always paranoid I'll miss and then everything will be for naught.

I usually have a bruiser/nuker for that, but for SMT3, I kept that on and had mostly buffing/debuffing (physical costing HP in a game where it's game over if he bites it was not wise to me) + Counters for fun times.
 
Incredible game, as are the rest of the PS2 spin offs, but this one is one of the best rpgs I've ever played. Really wish Atlus had churned out a few SMTs along with some new monster models on the ps3 rather than retreating to the portables entirely.
 
Nocturne is a real Shin Megoomi Tensay game.

An excellent game! My first SMT title outside of the Persona series. Easily one of my all-time favorites.

IIRC those moves boost your attack 2.5x, and don't cost much MP. So it's generally more efficient to use them even if you miss.

OP, make a Daisoujou with Dekaja and Dekunda. Very helpful:

Whoa, SMT3 turns ELEVEN tomorrow (!!!). And we just missed Nocturne's ten year anniversary, jeez. Someone oughtta make a spectacular tribute thread or something (although your writeup was pretty cool too OP).

Seriously though how the eff has it been 10 years, I remember my anticipation perfectly, I hate getting old haha
 
SMT3 was pretty boss. The music, the atmosphere, the sounds, everything just clicked.

I also really liked this point in Kaneko's art style. His best work, to me.

Would if I could, I looove Nocturne. I'd contribute if anyone wants, though.
 
Goddamn, Chiaki.

I mean I've seen the concept art before but that scene was still unsettling as hell. Like something straight out of a survival horror game. The turn-around in her development has been interesting.

Isamu on the other hand has been a bit of a punk for most of the game. He lost his shirt but still kept his stupid hat. I think his Reason is kinda dumb too. Not that I'm really siding towards any particular Reason at this point anyways but still. Man everyone I once knew is going crazy with power. :(
