Haven’t played in two days cus I went to the Bandou Shrine and the last pillar guy one shot me cus I wasn’t expecting two melee attacks in a row on the mc for 500+ and it made me feel really bad but today is the day…

This, Beelzebub and Ongyo-ki are the roughest fights to lose just because getting back to them is a whole ordeal

You can't fuse demons higher than your level you don't have the power to control them

it took me 17 minutes of rolling skills just to get the ones I wanted. if I ever replay this id probably get the remaster just for skill picking lol. But now I have Trumpeter and I'm approaching the top of the tower of kagatsuchi, nothing can stop me now

I never played the original but I get the feeling that being able to select your skills breaks the game in half. Being able to just pick the buffs and debuffs I need so I always have a ton of them I can spam like crazy if a fight seems like it will be rough has carried me through the game so far. I still get turned inside-out by a boss without warning every now and then though

It kinda does, but you've always been able to build your demifiend however you want so it's not that big of a deal. The quality of life improvement is worth it alone

Yeah but you can still get exactly the skills you want just with patience. Unless there's some skill inheritances that will simply never happen in the original, idk how the dice rolls work.

Yeah I'm not getting too much gaming in rn but I finished the tutorial dungeon + found the first city. I'd forgotten how sick the apocalypse scene is

Last thing I found out in my session and I was, like, giddy.

This game doesn't have a Compendium, right? Like, I can't re-summon demons I already had, but I also don't have to care about filling out a list?

It does, and you can. I don’t know what you mean about having to care about filling out a list though, I don’t know if you get anything for completing it

Oh cool, thanks for the info!

Sometimes late game I look up a guide to fill a hole in my party without having to experiment for ages, and it's like "oh fuse X and Y" and I don't have those, and Y requires H and F and I don't have F, so I prefer to fill the low ranks if possible.


Also completed lists make me cum
