> "How about you play a real SMT game like Nocture or Strange Journey?"
Guys, I'm about to play pic related. I'm a beginner to the mainline SMT. I have one question.
Are there any "hidden" mechanics or things not introduced well enough that I should worry about?
Leo Allen
Who is this lego man.
Ethan Miller
Use buffs. Fuse your demons once they are full analyzed. Level up for your MC is kind of random. Get a map.
Jordan Gomez
Your alignment changes based on answers to boss questions.

>Are there any "hidden" mechanics or things not introduced well enough that I should worry about? Actually there's one kinda tricky thing in the last zone of the game. there's an area where you need to walk onto invisible platforms to proceed. there's no hints or anything like that to suggest it, and it's only used at the very end of the game. is right on all of these, especially the map thing, there's some pretty sadistic areas in the map. We're all adults, we all have shit to do, I think if the map gets too fucking ridiculous just look up a chart of it and carry on, don't be afraid to. is also true, just be mindful of it as the game goes along. There is a "point of no return" but it's as the last zone begins, you'll be able to tell when it's coming, don't be afraid to experiment.

You should really play Nocturne.
Caleb Myers
There are secret walls you can walk through
Isaac Clark
Is devil survivor any good?
Leo Bailey
No really why is he made of legos.

I may as well ask here. So, one of my friends is a big SMT fan, and I'm a big Fire Emblem fan. I noticed the game SMT Devil Survivor 2 is on sale on the eShop, I looked it up a bit and it's an SRPG. Should I get it? It will be my first SMT ever, I've never played Persona either.
Brody Collins
DeSu1 has a really great story, although it takes a while to get going and is reliant on 4 separate routes for the unique stuff.
The gameplay stresses fusing the right demons over any tactical SRPG, so if you like fusing in general it gets really addictive.
Camden Sanders
Yeah DeSu 1 is better though but a good series to start with. The map and tactics are there but it's more important having the right party members and skills compared to the enemies.
Colton Perez
My friend says 2 is better. It's $25 on the eShop, and I have $49 on my account. So, I can only get one, as 1 isn't on sale. What should I get?
Sebastian Howard
Taking all of this into consideration
Cameron Martin
The first one. DeSu2 is basically evangelion.
Desu 2 beats 1 in gameplay and maps, and difficoulty.
Desu 1 beats 2 in literally anything else.
They are both great games and a must try tho.
Elijah Brown
2 I guess, it has advancements to the gameplay and you can always go back to 1.
Just be aware that in 2 the story is a really lame intro to the series and the plot is barely about the mythological demons the series is famous for, instead you're in an uninteresting Evangelion fan fic.
Connor Gomez
DeSu1 is the better game, especially if you get Overclocked (the 3DS version). Its the better cast, music, story of DeSu1 but with more skills and balancing that got added to DeSu2. Plus it has the extra post game scenarios. DeSu2 while not bad has very little incommon with MegaTen games as a whole.
James Jackson
This is one of my favorite games, hope you like it OP
Jason Scott
Doomguy
William Lee
Game kicks in to gear in the second sector. So it may take a few hours to hook you.
Christopher Wood
I have a preference to DeSu2, but I suppose it varies from person-to-person. They're both good games; DeSu1 has a stronger plot all-around and the difficulty curve is far steeper in that one, while 2's gameplay is more refined andin-depth, and has a stronger cast of characters. The OST in the second is also FAR superior.
I'd say you should just get whichever one is cheaper, as they're both worth your time. Starting with the first game will let you appreciate some of the gameplay improvements in the second, though.
Robert Russell
I would love a Doom clone with SMT Guy and all the demons swapped with SMT demons
Jason Martinez
What order to play the SMT/Persona games in?
Bentley Foster
They're mostly standalone and all 50-60 hour games. Nocturne and Persona 3/4 will last you until P5.
Jaxson Walker
Remember that, while hot, the bitch is a law faggot and as such should be disregarded.
Benjamin Johnson
This is my first SMT game. I really enjoyed the ride, even though it's challenging.
Josiah Sanchez
Mastema is a cool dude, you should heed everything he says
Oliver Wright
Hee-how about you fucking play the game and find out
Really though, there's really not anything you won't find out as you play the game. You'll learn it all as you progress.
Brayden Smith
...
Henry Butler
Currently DeSU2 is cheaper than 1, but only by $5. One user described the game's plot as Evangelion. That's fine with me, I love Evangelion.
Thomas Ross
kek
Jose Price
I'm a lawfag. What are you gonna do about it?
Andrew Thomas
Nothing, I do not want to keep you from the noble task of sucking the ole' yellow-faced man's dick.

Alignment changes occur through boss speech, and sometimes and rarely based on answers you give your fellow marines.
Don't worry too much about the alignment, your level is very slightly skewed based on what "specialization" you are.
Remember to check EVERY wall.
When enemies are unanalyzed, you literally can not tell what they have OR do. This includes enemies using instant death moves. Basically, always carry something that is NU or ST against both light and dark.
Good luck. SJ is literally my favorite SMT.
Ryder Wood
Remember Mexicans are your friends (It's a really good game and can really make you feel something while playing)
Jack Ross
>this is what diaper wearing chaos shitters really think
Nolan Rogers
I always thought it was underwear.
Juan Gomez
I said it was a shitty fan fiction resembling Evangelion, not a plot that's an equal of Eva. DeSu1 is a better representation story wise about what SMT is, but they're both similar enough beyond that.
Lincoln Adams
It very well could be, but on first glance it looked like a diaper to me and I didn't really think much of it.
Logan Cooper
So basically Was it a demon? I thought it was an experiment more fucked that nothing
Noah Myers
Trust nobody not even yourself
Cameron Rodriguez
You're not the only one who said it was like Evangelion, user. This user said it too
Jaxon Bailey
It was my first smt too. Loved. Soon you'll realise that repel is overpower and gamebreaking. Found the game easy until the last boss. I went Law.
Benjamin Wright
>lawfags >chaosfags
Neutral here, enjoy your lack of lolis
Lincoln Gutierrez
thanks
Xavier Hall
Saved.

>start playing Strange Journey >want to go chaos >just arrived at eridanus >still neutral how the fuck do change my alignment is it too late?
Leo Sullivan
use demons that are chaos and it will slowly change
