I humbly recommend Strange journey Redux as the best intro to the Shin Megami Tenei series.

dunno what I expected with this extra DLC, but it seems its just cheat items?



thought the DLC would be extra modules/arenas whatever, I shouldn't use this poo poo on a first playthrough right?

still scratching my head at this demon fusion system, specially with limited Demon Sources and the end result of the possible fusion that you can preview seems really loving random to me.

It was cool doing the special fusion of Morax some time after defeating him, he's pretty powerful and useful so far.

but overall it makes me really loving tempted to look up some outside source, even though I prefer to keep it a blind run

a hot tip is that you should just go ahead and use your demon sources because you're not gonna get twenty hours in and be like "oh drat i shouldn't have used that pixie's d-source back in sector A"

but I DID feel that way when I used the Jack Frost source on some demon that looked like a good spellcaster (so I could have someone with Mabufu)

if I saved that up for Morax I could have covered his weakness to Ice...

I got to Carina and progressing the plot, so I have to ask when can I change the alignment of my character?

So far it only makes sense to use a neutral party so I can mop up fights easy the instant I notice the weakness of the enemy, and abuse co-op attacks...

This Womb of Grief sector wasnt in the original game right? Im trying to keep up the progress with it as I go with the A->B->C sectors, dunno if its loving the curve of experience tho because the enemies I fight in the other sectors are way easier than the ones in WoG

Strange Journey really has such a bizarre tone. The main plot is pretty much unrelentingly grim and serious. But there are all of these weird-rear end sidequests with like, the guy who wants you to hook him up with demons who are hot chicks, or the foot demon in the Red Sprite toilet.

what a coincidence, literally just accepted this dude's second quest

my god I got loving pummeled by Ouroboros what the gently caress was that, think I used waaaay to many precious items to fight her and im gonna regret it way later

e: have to fight it again :negative:

guess its time to take a good look at my demon team and learn how buffs work

But at least in SJ a big trick with her was she would use Silent Prayer I think it was if you tried to raise your stats above three levels. So say you have Tarukaja or hopefully you have Luster Candy by now,

dunno what Luster Candy is but have seen Tarukaja in a lot of demons so far (if that even affects the Co-Op Attack strength)

I think I see a 100% required demon for this boss as Law, has both resistances to electric and expel spells, which Ouroboros sure likes to spam a lot



just have to grind out one more level and give it a go again

These Ex Missions that make you go back to old sectors and find some specific demon to talk in random rear end encounters are such a pain in the rear end, not fun at all

tempted to just stick to keep progressing current sector/WoG

also did I gently caress up anything regarding endings in SJ Redux? I finished Sector Grus and watched all the cutscenes, and then Horologium unlocked, and apperently I have to get down and talk to Gore to Decide Something

But I didnt even finish the fifth or sixth floors of Womb of Grief yet, and apperently finishing that side content/dealing with Alex changes the main endings?

got filtered out by Zeus in WoG, ehhhh just too much damage output and dont have enough party-wide healing items (and im probably underleveled), but dont really feel like grinding things out, doesn't sound fun

gonna look up the endings on youtube and try out SMT IV Apocalypse next
