I'd play a Persona 1 Arena as long as it had Jive Mark. His Astral Finish or whatever could be dancing crazy.

I will forever maintain Inexplicably Race-Switched Mark as a shining example of how liberal localization can improve a game.

I also like what they did with the characters' hair.

  1. Turn the Map Hack on (trust me).
  2. Go into one of the organ rooms and get teleported to a new section of the dungeon.
  3. Find the warp room that has a light fixture on the ceiling outside.
  4. Follow the path, watch the cutscene.
  5. Repeat for the other two sections of the dungeon.
  6. Take the stairs that at the north end of the first floor all the way to the top.
  7. Check the mirror on the wall to open the path to the boss.

I never knew about the light fixture thing at all and still found the right warp point in two tries or fewer. Guess I was really lucky! :v:

It seems like you just don't get a game over as long as your demons are still up, though I'd assume you can't summon more. Even if you're hit by Hama, it is all right. Or that's what it says.

Which is weird because that is the one scenario that actually makes sense for game over on leader death. Why would demons in a contract obey a dead master?

P4 made no sense, the rationale was something dumb like your teammates don't know what to do if you fall because you have to tell them. P3 made no sense at first until you realize If you die Death will be unsealed so it was a bit justified.

Hey does anyone know if SMT4 has different difficulties? It seems Atlus is making the brutal difficulty of SMT games optional these days since a lot of people want a good RPG but aren't into the instant game overs.

P4 runs on the same reason P3 does. If you kick the bucket, you lost Izanami's game, so she proceeds with her "flood the world in fog" plan.
But yeah, I guess in SMT4 that they'll use the same justification that for the rest of your teammates, which is that you are gravely injuredand mostly dead, but not dead, dead.

Well, among other things, there are images of someone else who has a COMP/Gauntlet in the support slot in trailers.

Plus, it does make sense for some demons to want to revive you to keep the sweet Magnetite coming, or because they like you. Though I don't know if SMT4 actually uses Magnetite costs.

Hahaha. "Fix". Good one!

I remember this one time they tried to fix something related to item bonuses or something and they broke the stats instead.

Like, they broke the loving stats. Not just item stats. Character stats. All of them. All the stats. Everything was hosed for a couple days and nothing worked at all.

Cave is such a lovely developer.

I have been playing Shin Megami Tensei MMO for nearly 3 years now. A lot of people got back into the game because it went to ATLUS instead of AeriaGames as a publisher(Well, ATLUS ONLINE, a very small part of ATLUS, but ATLUS nevertheless) but it has not worked out (The 1st anniversary of this switch was yesterday) and not very much is happening right now. The gameplay is excellent for a MMO, the demon fusing system is brilliant, but it has been let down by how it has been handled, just as a quick cash grab with no interest in the game's long term future.

On the other hand, CAVE isn't actually that bad of a developer (and is getting better recently) but is only really concerned in fixing up the Japanese server which they also publish, the other server is around 2-3 years behind in content and it definitely shows. If you DO want to play the Imagine MMO and don't mind the language barrier, I would strongly suggest trying the japanese version instead.

The select few people who play this game are really hardcore fans of the franchise, but even they are losing hope in any kind of miracle happening. As of now, it is completely pay to win other than the basic storyline, the PvP is completely broken (everyone dies in one hit) and there are a very limited amount of things to do.

It has so much potential and I like to think it still does (though I am very biased), but the actual game needs a major update fast before it goes under for good.

Also, the demon mounts which increase movement speed are loving awesome.

Are there goons that play the English version of the MMO? I haven't tried it yet but a friend was telling me about it, blatantly bad issues aside it's apparently decent fun if you like watching numbers rise, and I'm not able to hop language barriers easily.

Also I'm a sucker for terrible cash-shoppy grinding MMOs :v:

I think they look all right. A little different but with those character designs, why not? Also they're obviously intended to use the 3d effect. Honestly I'd take anything that puts as much distance between the game and the anime at this point.
