Devil Survivor 2

Just bought a copy of this game. Should I go for a Magical build or Physical build? Which demons should I use? Who is best girl?

Spoilers are welcome.

obligatory

Why not the 3DS enhanced port?

Magic.

Best girl is Fumi.

You fucked up by not playing the 3DS version. You could've emulated the DS version. I hope you posted the wrong picture.

>buying ds games
>20 fucking 17

I would go for a magic build, there is nothing like beldr in this game so you don't have to level up strength one bit, Keita and Daichi are good for going physical/multistrike, I think Jungo is shit because he has more power but low agility so he can only deathbound.

When you gt to high level I would get a phys reflect Titania, also demons of tyrant, and wilder are pretty good.

And best girl is either Fumi or Airi.

the Septentriones are the stars of the show

I bought it at a sale for $15 used. I figured it was a good deal and I haven't played much SMT games before.

What am I missing from the 3DS version?

...Is that for real?

Don't be a fag and play this on apocalypse difficulty.

Hotsuin best girl

3DS version of game has an extra arc which occurs after the main arc.

I am guessing you haven't played original DeSu, if you do want to try it buy Devil Survivor Overclocked, which has an extra day on some routes which is intense and is great for demon levelling

Some demons can only be unlocked by beating them, if you see a strong demon and can't beat it you should try and beat it on new game+

>What am I missing from the 3DS version?
An extra campaign set after the main story that is almost as long as the original game.

>...Is that for real?
yes, if anything this game is known for having the MC with the weirdest dialogue choices.

Magic build it is. Should focus on MAG/SPD or MAG/VIT?

I'm playing the DS version. There's no difficulty choice available.

>3DS version version has an extra campaign.

Fuck.

I'll think about getting DS:O If I enjoy DS2 enough.

Seems as though the DS2 protag is quite the character.

You know it.

>stuck at wendigo on desu 1
I just need to grind more right?

Well, Sup Forums? Should I select Male Tico or Female Tico?

mag/spd is basically the most broken build in the game.
It is even more broken in DeSu 1 since phys was shittier in that game.

agi/fire dance him bro.
Also remember to go for best route.

Tico Tico you fucking pleb

>play atlus game
>not picking the waifu.
user...

Magic destroys everything, but phys builds aren't shabby either.
Otome is the best girl.
No need to thank me OP.

Makoto is easily the best girl with easily the best voice actor

These are from the DS version right, some of them just seem a bit off, and some I am almost certain weren't in the version I played.

Don't worry you have 4 routes of Sep arc to play through, I would choose female and go with male next route

Jeeze, fine. No need to be so rude, anons.

Isn't best route where you run away, come back on 8th day, beat Belberith and forget to repair the barrier?

Yup. They changed up some of the original script in the remake.
He's still as autistic in both versions so it's not a huge deal.

Yeah, it think the 3ds version had some small changes in the dialogue I remember Joe giving Ronaldo a different nickname in the 3ds version.

Just kidding she's annoying as fuck.
Male Tico is superior.
Although having the option to tell everyone how cute Female Tico is in Triangulum was neat.

MAG/SPD it is then.

Which route should I go for on my first playthough?

Like what suggested, I'll go with Male Tico in my next playthrough.

Routes are left to the last day, you need to max shining one to get his route, I think the rest are unlocked, if you do happen to get everybody but shining one's Fate level to 4 then I would choose Daichi for a special ending in his route

You can freely pick any route before the the second last day. To get Psyduck's you need to Rank 4 his Fate. To get Daichi's Reset oyu have to get info on space's external SSD.
Do either Yamato or Daichi's True Reset. I'd also say Psyduck's but it's hell trying to do on a first playthough without carry overs.
Fuck Ronaldo and fuck Waterworld.

In my game I went Psyduck first, and then Yamato because I failed to raise everybody's fate level to 4 and accidentally killed Io, not a Ronaldo cuck but will complete his route eventually as a completionist even though his ideals are clearly inferior to Yamato's

>Accidentally killed Io
Literally how? Unless you were purposely being a dick to her or just ignoring/forgot about her.
Hell, even the game tells you you fucked up by giving her the worst death in the game.

I guess I'll be doing my bro's route first then.

Also, who the fuck is Psyduck???

You can choose any route you want, just go with the route with the ideal which speaks the most you,except for ronaldo's route which is bad and you should feel bad for choosing that one.

Anguished one. You'll know why when you get there.

You'll see.

Trying to raise other people's Fate to 4, been a long time since first route so I forgot to talk to her, I continued on though, wouldn't want her sacrifice to be in vain.

Stripey shirt man

>Meritcucks.

Just because you're a no drive loser in life doesn't mean everyone has to be one as well.

>Meritcucks.
Implying I choose Yamato's route.
The only world I help shaping is a world of my own creation, boyo.
Ronaldo's ideals make me sick to my stomache and living in a world like that makes my skin crawl, his just objectively the worst route in the game.

Magic because holy fuck this dances

Whichever demons you like, though I usually try to have a balanced team for the MC (physical, magic, another physical or magic user that also has a healing spell or two).

Best girl isn't in the original version.

Isn't that just Yamato in a drag?

...

Isn't she just Yamato in drag?

What's so bad about Ronaldo's route?

No, I'm pretty sure it's Yamato in drag

He is a filthy commie that is what is wrong with him.

Post all of the conversations where you can say she's Yamato in drag

His idealogy is basically socialism and he makes no efforts to present it in any kind of good light while at the same time managing to be an ass most of the game and annoying when going for other routes.

Yes. Yes "she" is.

make me

Ronaldo wants total equality, Yamato wants a total meritocracy, in Ronaldo's world nobody would be able to excel as the cost of equality, in Yamato's world the environment is right for the best to excel, incompetent, corrupt people are rooted out and people without skill are left to die.

>not getting the superior 3DS version.

Do you not own a 3DS? :^)

The real question is why wouldn't anyone pick psyduck's route?

Because I was too casual to be able to beat it on my first route run.

C'mon guys, you can trust the alien, what have aliens ever done to us?

>what have aliens ever done to us?
Anal probe us against our own will.

I got spoiled on his name before I finished my Sept run and I honestly thought when I picked his route that he was gonna end up evil and betray me. But then he punched Polaris in the dick and everything was great.

Fuck Miyako. I swear I wanted to kill her when it turned out she was holding Best Bro Alcor captive. Like I hated how the game pushed the idea of liking her down your throat so much. At least disliking Yamato in the orginal was part of the experience.

>not trusting your totally tubular surfing alien bro.

You should have expected massive tweest faggot

>picking the "dead meat" option
>missing some of Joe's best lines

>disliking Yamato
I actually thought Ronaldo was bad not because of his socialism but every interaction with him just made me like him less. When I fought him in Al's route and he tries to fight Al and gets his shit caved in I honestly didn't care one way or the other.

What does he say i always picked dead meat.

He suggests you call it Dubhe 2: The Dubhening.

kek, I love this game sometimes.

>Thinking about ineffectual I am makes me grind my teeth.
>You'll lose your teeth!

Team Nagoya best team, two best girls how can Tokyo and Oshit compete?

>What DON'T I want?
This is why Bunny is the best SMT protag.

>Pushing the idea of liking her down your throat
She's a total bitch at first though. It's been awhile since I've played, but I'm pretty sure you can still choose to diss/not trust her after she joins you.

>That part in Tri where you let a demon possess you and flirt with it.

Not sure. I usually got her to max Fate just so she calls you her Shining One.

I'm now about to face Bai Suzhen. Wish me luck, Sup Forums! And thanks for all the help!

I hope you die.

Go magic because it's more flexible than phys

That was great.
pookie ;_;

Have fun with it mate, I know I did.

...

>Not letting your best bro be frozen and killed

Didn't they already use that reference in Strange Journey?

>Should I go for a Magical build or Physical build?
Mag, though Phys is viable.
>Which demons should I use?
Anyone you can get your hands on, and fuse frequently. If I had to suggest though, Tyrants are ez modo.
>Who is best girl?
Psyduck > Fumi >= Otome

Rude.

Devil Fuge damage went off level, not STR, magic builds dealt the exact same damage to Beldr.

Multi-strike is the best skill in the game and it's physical. Magic is more versatile though.

>Reflect Phys
Heh, nothing personnel fgt.

>when they multi strike your repel phys team
>ting ting ting ting
>ta ta ta ta ta

Yeah it's pretty busted. But considering how few good phys skills there are, and how you only really have 1 pierce skill, building phys means you're severely limiting your team comps in a game that limits your options pretty often.

you don't really need another phys attacker when bunny can just pound everything and demons can easily compensate. plus deathbound is still good.

Daichi route > Al Saiduq route > Yamato route > Ronaldo route

This is true, objective fact.

Is this game touch heavy or can it be emulated and played primarily with a controller?

It's not touch heavy.

Triangulum Ronaldo route > everything

I don't think there are touch controls at all.

No touch required

>DeSu2 anime

Man, such wasted potential.

I know right they robbed the MC of his sense of humor and that is the one thing I could never forgive.
DeSu 1 would be better to adapt.

Sometimes you don't really have the option. Like if the team you're given has 2 mages and a phys unit on it, you can easily add in your mage MC due to the variety of magic there is, but if you're phys based you're far more limited in how you distribute your phys skills.

Death bound is pretty decent though I'll hand you that.

Daichi route would've been better if they actually had a plan in mind at first. It just feels retarded in how it's executed.

>Made bunny generic as fuck
>Kill off everyone
>Looked like shit
>ACTUALLY WENT FOR THE FUCKING RESET BUTTON ENDING
What a load of garbage.

no love for Io?

I found that giving her a voice in RB made me appreciate her a lot more than in Vanilla 2. She's pretty qt.
Unfortunately for her, all the other females in the game are just better than her except for Hinako.
