SatelliteOfLove said:- Lame-ass MC character-building system. If your MC has VIT at least the 3rd highest stat, you thank your lucky stars. Mine had it DEAD FUCKING LAST. STR/AGL was his, finalized hours and hours ago just after entering the Schwartzwald. Ai yi yi. Had to grind near a save point close to dinging so when it happened, I could reload if I got 3 AGL again.
Hard to build up even Resist X skills.
No Absorb/Repels
Talents only offensive in nature, and just for shits and giggles, the end boss is immune to gunfire. That's right, on the Neutral path, the Savior of Humanity cowers, emerging from his huddle to only toss MP-restoring items and tag in demons. :lol
Jimenez is a bro. chaos4lyfSatelliteOfLove said:- I hated Jimenez.:lolHis dialogue was all over the god damn place. I hate the military. I love my soldier buddies. I hate demons. I love summoning demons. I hate what these Mitra bastards did to Bugaboo. I'm going to head to Hologium and guard the last Mother. Blah blah blah.
Well, I guess it could be said he was personifying Chaos incarnate, though.
Seriously, the final boss is just a fucking horseshit fight that can end through absolutely no fault of your own, without regard to planning or strategy.

Segata Sanshiro said:Luck is the worst build. You can manage with it, but it's going to make the game a bit more challenging.
Other than that, if you've cut your teeth on another SMT game, you should be fine. Oh, one other thing though - you'll probably want to make an actual paper map for a certain part of Sector E, so be prepared to do that.
I was under the impression that the builds didn't have much of an impact on your stats. What's the best one then?Segata Sanshiro said:Luck is the worst build. You can manage with it, but it's going to make the game a bit more challenging.

tmarques said:For someone who's never played any of the games in the series, would you recommend this or Devil Survivor?
Devil Survivor is the better game. Better story, better characters, better gameplay*. Play Devil Survivor first. It's also more accessible as well. New players are certainly going to be frustrated by some of the bosses in SJ.tmarques said:For someone who's never played any of the games in the series, would you recommend this or Devil Survivor?
Pureauthor said:Uh.
Do you like Dungeon Crawlers or sRPGs more?
Kurtofan said:The final boss of Chaos path is easy peasy,it doesn't even use that attack that much.
Definitely play Devil Survivor.tmarques said:For someone who's never played any of the games in the series, would you recommend this or Devil Survivor?
TheSeks said:Edit: Oh, right, one bitching point: Negotiating with demons doesn't work liek Persona 1/2:IS's where you can "talk with a demon that you already have to have them leave the battle" and have the rest of the demons that aren't the same type stay to battle with. Annoying. I'm not sure if it's this way (Strange Journey's) for the other SMT games
charlequin said:It's that way for everything dating back at least to Nocturne in 2003. Having it work that way is much better overall since it gives you a way of getting through areas without much risk of dying as long as you've got enough of the local demons in your party.
TheSeks said:Oh, well, that sucks. :/
Also got three items from my demon members. They say they're "high in level now, here take this:"
TheSeks said:I assume I should fuse them now? Is this similar to Persona 3's "heart" system thingy where special fusions (that isn't the case here) would give an item at "max level" or whatever it was in P3?
Segata Sanshiro said:Demons don't get new skills by leveling up in this one, except by random mutation. Once you have their Sources, fuse those fuckers.
TheSeks said:Well, I'm trying to analyze demons before having them join the party. IIRC the tutorial states that doing this lets you have an easier understanding on talking to them?
(I assume like Persona 3/4 main character dies, you game over?)
Have had Odin (or whatever the dark ones that attack you on B2 are)
I do have their sources, but I'm not too sure if I should start fusing.
charlequin said:Oni? Very nice. Rampage at that point will be ludicrously useful.
Far moreso than in any other Megaten game, demons in SJ are ultra-disposable tools. It's much harder to make "ultimate" demons early on (so you'll very rarely have someone you want to keep around just because they're really good), demons don't learn anything new, and since you get one source for every demon you recruit, you'll pretty much by definition always have enough sources to use on as many fusions as you want. You'll basically never regret fusing away an individual demon and with the exception of a very limited set of skills (which I can list for you if you want) you'll never regret using a source as soon as possible either. If you wait too long you'll just find yourself missing the window where certain skills are good or trying to tackle dungeons with underpowered dudes.
TheSeks said:Okay, I was wondering if I shouldn't update the compendium, fuse the demons. Reget them, level them up again, get the source/item against and then refuse them. :lol
TheSeks said:And...
... I can't seem to get Sandman to pop up in Sector A to complete the one Sandman's EX quest. WTF. They were there before.
charlequin said:I swear I ran around for a half hour looking for one of the fucking monsters in sector A to do one of these sidequests after fighting approximately four thousand of them before. :lol
hipgnosis said:Just got this game and I've been playing about 2 hrs now, enjoying it so far. Quick question though: I negotiated with a demon and it agreed to join me, however he isn't available for my party and is nowhere to be seen in my menu. What am I doing wrong?
TheSeks said:And Sandman still won't show up in random battles. WTF. Goddamn it, come out on B1/B2 and let me get this quest over with. :|

KuwabaraTheMan said:It seems like this happens a lot. As soon as you get a quest requiring you to talk to a demon, they stop showing up. I think Atlus is doing it on purpose in order to torture people who play their games.
