markconig 01/08/22 10:15:29 PM #3:	I made a list in another topic so I'm just going to copy and paste it in here. Although most of this might not make sense until you learn the battle system and the general structure of the game more. The main things you should know before you start is hard mode is actually hard so it's recommended you start on normal, and pick either a strength or magic build for your main character. After you learn a little more the stuff below will make more sense. The main thing to know is that SMT is generally considered a hard game, where the first encounters can whip you out (the tutorial fight in SMT4 could kill you if it get's lucky). The game starts hard, but it will get easier as you go and get more familiar with the systems. It still remains a decent challenge the whole time. About building your main character, you should stick to either a strength or magic build. Every point should go into strength or magic, maybe a little in vitality for defense. Hybrids are fine, but you'll do much better sticking to one. The battle system is all about hitting weaknesses or criticals (you get extra turns), so with magic you'd get a bunch of different elements, while with strength you load up on multihit and high crit rate moves. I did a strength build and I didn't have many problems. I hope you aren't big into story, because SMT is very much a gameplay over story series. Persona is where you go for the story. Use spyglasses on the mitama enemies to figure out their weakness and hit it before they run away. Recruit every demon, even if it's one you might not want. The more demons you have, the easier it will be to fuse the good ones. The conversations during recruitment is random, so don't think too hard on them. But still do it even if your too low a level or don't have space. They'll take your stuff and leave, but next time you encounter them with space/high level, they'll instantly join. Your priority when using your glory points is always skill slots for your demons and main character, no exception. Remember you can change your main characters resistances anytime as long as you have a demon essence (which you'll have a ton). If a boss is giving you problems with their fire attacks, switch to have fire resistance. If your main character dies it's game over and you go back to your last save. Protecting your main character is important. Also remember that defending prevents your weakness and doesn't crit. In SMT, buffs and debuffs make a big difference, don't ignore them. Don't be stingy with fusing demons. Everything in your party is going to eventually start being under leveled and useless, get rid of it even if you had good memories. The "everything is always a crit" magatsuhi you start the game with is the best one. It makes every hit a crit which is a guaranteed 8 turns. Since everything is a crit and your guaranteed an extra turn, you can use that demons most powerful attack even if it's not hitting a weakness like one of their other skills might. The enemy can also use this magatsuhi too, when it says they're charging, either have everyone defend or kill them that round. Guaranteed crits by the enemy is almost certain death if you just let it happen, defending stops them from critting. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconig posted [p:961590668] in Alright, I...

markconig 01/08/22 10:32:02 PM #8:	Accolon posted... Is there like a... pokedex? Demondex? Yup, the compendium. In SMT all the demons you have, along with their exact levels/stats/moves are saved in the compendium. You can spend (a lot) of money at any time to bring them back at any point. So if you fused a good demon but you want the original back, you can spend a ton of money to bring them back. There's a reason why people sometimes call SMT Pokemon, but demons. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconig posted [p:961591034] in Alright, I...

DarkBuster22904 01/08/22 10:33:25 PM #9:	Keep your supply of all the elemental dampeners stocked up. Make sure you learn what bosses do after they "gather magatsuhi," and stop that move dead. Anything that hits on that next turn will crit, and you're very liable to be wiped. Best to neutralize it if you can, and dampeners are great for it, especially early on. Bosses are WAY more spongey than they've ever been. Do NOT try to blitz them, and do NOT go for ballsy power plays. Their little sliver of health is ALWAYS more than you expected. SMTV boss battles are a slow game; the safe move is almost always the better option. --- Haven't had a good sig idea since 2006 <cite>DarkBuster22904 posted [p:961591061] in Alright, I...

I kinda wish the opening was longer. I liked the creepy murder mystery that was going on. It's pretty much the bog standard SMT opening. Some public area is closed off by the cops, nobody knows why, rumors of people getting eaten by monsters or some shit. Then the plot starts. Almost as uniform as Professor Tree letting you pick one of three pokemon. --- Haven't had a good sig idea since 2006 <cite>DarkBuster22904 posted [p:961662516] in Alright, I...

Eventually you'll be getting tons of relics at higher values and the cost of healing at save points will be pennies to you. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconig posted [p:961667789] in Alright, I...

Illuminoius 01/11/22 7:47:45 PM #33:	ailments are really good now except for like two bosses in the whole game there are some skills that deal bonus damage when the enemy has a certain ailment, and they're among the strongest skills in the game and are obtained relatively early for their power they're particularly effective against randoms and most optional bosses DarkBuster22904 posted... Bosses are WAY more spongey than they've ever been. no they're not. unless you're underlevelled (the game has a severe level scaling penalty) or you're not using the right elements/demons with good proficiencies bosses shouldn't take that long except for maybe the first ~~nuwa~~ fight and maybe the second ~~lahmu~~ fight, but this is smt so press turn is so easy to abuse to double turn economy and dramatically increase your damage bestial bite in particular carries really hard early on for physical attackers and venom chaser is among the strongest skills in the game and you get it at level 20 <cite>Illuminoius posted [p:961671313] in Alright, I...

I think next I'll make an Angel, it looks like he gets a group heal which should be useful. --- http://i.imgur.com/XAMp8.jpg <cite>Accolon posted [p:961686395] in Alright, I...
