If you're playing on merciful you should just play a different game tbh. You lose so much by cheating yourself out of hard fought victories

When SMT4: Apocalypse came out I was talking to a coworker who I knew liked Persona games and was talking about buying the DLC for Apocalypse. I mentioned that the Cleopatra fight was difficult and asked if he tried it and had any tips. He said he didn't know because he just plays on the easiest difficulty and does auto battle through all the fights. I had to do my best to hide my disgust and I dropped the subject and never brought it up with him again.

You can literally just autobattle everything, probably even the boss fights, and heal when necessary. At that point you may as well be playing a clicker game. Enemies rarely use skills and never use buffs/debuffs. It's beyond pointless lol

I played through nocturne on hard mode my first time and I think it made it a much more memorable experience though the only thing I have to confirm that is I remember DDS2 way better than 1 and only one of them has hard mode. In Nocturne I got stuck on the boss of the 4th kalpa for months and he's now one of my favorite demons.

Let people play how they want, if they want to play on merciful let them Sure Nocturnes story is super bare bones but if they want to experience it who am I to judge

Naw, in this case they are definitely playing it wrong by essentially being invincible and ignoring the entire battle system

There is something about turn-based combat that makes people think that they need to win every fight within 3 turns or else they need to grind/reduce the difficulty. It’s weird.

I mean I ran into an Oni in the tunnels last night and the fact he took out my A-Team in two hits means I do have to go do some demon negotiation grind

I started playing SMT games on the 3ds and loved all of them, finished them all on normal and found that the difficulty balance was great, strange jounrye had some challenging dungeons but the bosses were manageable, smt4 was harder then most but at least you could save anywhere so it wasn't too bad, then smt 4.5 added retries so it was even easier but I really hate losing progress so it was totally my jam. But nocturne, man, it is hard even on normal. It is loving drat hard and you lose a lot of progress, all the time. You can't fuse anytime you want, you can't save anytime you want, you can't heal frequently. They added an easy mode but they hosed it up, instead of just making fights slightly easier they just allow you to steamroll everything AND reduce encounter rate, which means you can't recruit enough demons. Why did they do that, I've never seen a game where easy mode reduces encounter rate and makes the game so dissatisfying. It's some sort of hosed up accomplishment. Normal mode with retries would be my favorite, I'm so glad that auto-game over on deaths seem to be gone from modern rpgs, it just sucks poo poo to lose so much time. At least old-school RPG just took half your cash and let you restart, that's fine.
