Yeah I just played thru 4 recently and had to look that up cos I remember something about str being completely worthless compared to dex

And it is lol. Str only scaled with phys skills but dex scales with both phys and gun skills, making it objectively better in every way

Sidenote SMT4 has aged like a fine wine

foesnt even scale with phys skills, just phys regular attacks lmao. still keep doin that poo poo though

It felt like phys and magical for the MC were pretty balanced in 4, though in Nocturne and 5 I'm going physical all the way every time

Yeah that's true, I like going phys in 5 because the MC's unique physical and physical+almighty moves have such sick animations I can't pass em up

Strange Journey itself was a DS game rereleased with new content and stuff on the 3DS, which might be what you’re thinking of

Also it kicks rear end, definitely play strange journey redux if you can

I need to start with DDS, but SMT 5 really took all the motivation out of me for wanting to play another 100 hours of SMT.

I don't really count Apocalypse since it was sort of a sequel but I just remembered several others so yeah fair enough. Still, I was really hoping for a 5: Apocalypse so I shan't be greedy

normally it's just an updated game with a small amount of additional content. this feels like they put out the game on Switch under the gun and this is the actual full game lol
