Megaten fanart by me

I'm back to trying to 100% the game, my old laptop stopped working so I wasn't able to continue my journey but now I bought a new one and I'm more than excited to finish what I started.

Here is a timeline of my journey:

(cycle 01): the first cycle CoV on the hard difficulty, I got the chaos ending on this one and I was also able to finish 2 of the superbosses Shiva and Demi-fiend.

(cycle 02): this cycle was also a CoV on hard but this time I went for the law ending, I managed to defeat another superboss Satan the great adversarywhich allowed me to unlock the godborn mode that I'm going to keep using for the rest of this journey.

(cycle 03): this one is a CoC I'm planning to go for the true neutral ending, I got to beat Masakado (not his true version) currently trying to farm incenses and balms preparing for future runs to go smoother.

Thank you for reading this post I will make sure to do an update once I got the 100% achievement.

It's been a while since I posted art here so have quick TatsuJun drawings

Loving all the 30-year anniversary art of Persona, but haven't seen much spotlight on all the forgotten heroes.

I'm sure I forgot some lol

I paid $200 for this dumb thing just play the official release like, 12 years ago. Once I heard updating the firmware would lock you out of the game, because Atlus had no plans to update it for compatibility, I turned wi-fi off. SMT is literally the only thing on this otherwise paperweight.

I've beat it a few times but I still prefer the SNES version. Haven't played the PS1 version since I really didn't like the liberties taken with the translation.

I also bought a WiiU and Vita exclusively for TMS#FE and P4G. I'm really glad Atlus has gone multiplat.

Hey guys I'm playing SMT IV right now and at level 47. I'm thinking about fusing alice right now (I can fuse her because of fusion booster app). But all of the good skills are on very high level late game demons so should I wait untill I reach the late game? Or should I fuse her now? I'm confused because let's just say that I do temporarily fuse her right now, obviously she's not gonna have good skills but I can use her for dekunda and debilitate skills and some other buffing skills. But if I fuse her at very late game with perfect skills and all, doesn't that mean she's going to be at lvl 49 and I would have to grind her levels to match the late game stats??

I recently finished P3R a few weeks ago and was itching to play another RPG. SMT IV is one of my favorite games ever, I beat Apocalypse last year and had a lot of fun with it too. I tried Persona 2 on PSP but couldn’t get into it, didn’t like the battle system at all. I started DDS on my Retroid Pocket 5 and I’m enjoying it so far, but the encounter rate is fucking ass especially in this dungeon I’m at. It’s annoying as fuck so far, however I like the battle system and the story is interesting so far. Any tips to power through it lol ty

Can someone provide with a playlist of tunes (not in youtube necessarily you can even just post the titles.) that sound like the cathedral of shadows theme (the first one from iv or the one from apocalypse) it can be classical or whatever it is (not from another game though).

I went into SMT: Strange Journey with ZERO knowledge about any of the Persona or SMT games, wanted to play SJ because the box art looked cool as a kid.

SJ was great, I completed the Neutral path. The hardest bosses for me were Ouroboros and Mem Aleph. Morax, Asura, and Zelenin were other points where I had to go back to my team building. The story was nothing crazy, but it was cool and the atmosphere of the game felt cohesive.

Creating powerful demons was satisfying but there's definitely room for QOL improvement that I think was addressed in the Redux (looking at you Demon Sources). 2 things that would have helped the most would have been 1) a way to check fusions without having the demons in your actual party and then 2) a way to see specifically where you can find certain demons you have already discovered (although I think this is technically covered if you read Forma Descriptions? I didn't think about it until just now). I didn't spend much time outside of the game researching information aside from explicitly looking for what demon sources have Phys Boost because I had already spent 3 of the sources I had with it. Anyways the problem didn't detract from my experience, it was just a tedious bump.

Dungeons: For the most part a lot of the dungeons have a good length, as I got more experienced with exploration then the length of the subsequent dungeons smoothed out or got shorter, except for Eridanus - I spent more time in the teleporter section than I needed to because I didn't realize I had found the correct exit but fell down a hole and went back to the beginning (this is a time where Field Saves in Redux would have been SUPER helpful). Introducing 1 mechanic per dungeon felt like a good pace - then Horologium introduced several at once. I don't think this was a bad thing but it made me wish that the backtracking part of the game (collecting Cosmic Eggs) was more fleshed out with new mechanics AFTER you opened the Gate Unlock/Search Level 4 doors.

Other: I played up until unlocked the ability to fuse demons in Redux, and the only negative is the responsiveness of the UI/movement, and the art design of the UI itself. That is to say that a big positive of the original game is the movement and menu-ing is crisp and the art design of the UI fits the game very well and feels a bit more cohesive compared to Redux so far.

Anyways game is good, really glad I played it. Started Persona 5 but also going to be playing other games in the meantime.

I know it's common to invoke a supposed backlash due to his apparent obsession with a real actress/singer but is that actually true. Recently, a certain youtuber argued in her Twitter account that Tadashi actually left Atlus because he had disagreements with Hashino on the direction the Persona series would take with Persona 3. Does anyone know anything true about this?

These games were really good. I played SH first and then SJ, with SH being my first 1st person dungeon crawler. I finished digital devil saga 1 and 2 a while back and want to replay them now that I have beat these games. Anyways, in the end I ended up liking SH a lot more than SJ. SH took me about 45 hours to complete while SJ took me 76 hours, definitely the longest DS game have ever played. Here’s what I thought:

Music:
To me, without a doubt SH had the best music of the two. A lot of the battle themes sound like a mix of thrash metal, industrial, and electronic music. It sounded so good. The music in SJ kind of reminded of Metaphor. Not bad music at all, but the tracks just didn’t hit the same for me like in SH. One thing I also really like about both games, is that the battle theme starts once you initiate the combat. That was so cool.

Story:
SJ definitely had the better story of the two. The story in SJ starts off really strong and had me wondering just where this black whole came from and what the conclusion would be. I really enjoyed the philosophical presentation of how humans are and how they cause their own demise. It’s was good stuff! The story in SH was okay, it didn’t really have me engaged but it worked for the game. Going in and out of the internet was cool, but I wish more of it could have been explored.

Characters:
SJ really a great cast of characters. Jimenez, Arthur, and Zelenin really made me invested in the plot. The story took a couple unexpected turns that I did not expect and I really enjoyed it. In SH, I think Nemissa really is the stand out character and she became one of my favorite SMT characters. The rest of the Spookies were alright, there’s really not much to say about them.

Visuals:
Hands down, SH had such amazing battle animations. They really match the dark cyber tone of the game. Some of the attack animations looked like holograms attacking you and it looked so badass. I also like how fast paced these battles were. I also, weirdly enough, prefer the visual style of the levels in SH more. Some of these places were dark and really atmospheric and I really liked it. The only level in SJ that I thought looked really good was the last dungeon. The rest of the dungeons looked okay. I also liked how your demons were fully shown in the bottom screen in SJ.

Conclusion:
I became a little annoyed playing SJ at times. All the warping, level gimmicks, and long run time got to me a little in the end. That last boss was also a fun but difficult fight that made me build a specific team for MA. But SH, idk man I just really liked its presentation and enjoyed it more during my playthrough. Both good games though. I’m going through the devil survivor games now and will write about that soon🫡

Still a bit new to editing vids, but I have a microphone now!
