Duology may be the most accessible SMT title that doesn't fall for some gimmick like relationships, etc. It's a JRPG done the SMT way. Shame it's so relatively overlooked and forgotten without even any memes surrounding it like ASPECT RAIDOU and such.

I liked it better than Nocturne.

The games were more on the grindey side than I'd have liked but I really liked the story, and some of the twists really did catch me by surprise.

Left 2 alone some time ago, gotta dust it off and finish it

Atlus should duology remaster these on PS4 after the persona 5 success, easy money + introduce personafags to mainline

but is it challenging?

Perfect difficulty for having fun imho. DDS 1's end boss was pretty hard tho.

Harder than Purse Owner, easier than mainline.

Like user said, it's basically the closest SMT game came to being a typical JRPG of the time. Nocturne isn't exactly the norm.

To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand that DDS is where Meguro peaked on his musical composition

LIGHT SHINES

This guys knows what he is talking about.

The non-existent cap on encounter rates can get pretty old in the first with bad enough luck, I recall a few times that I took a single step and ended up in another fight. Otherwise I had a lot of fun with them both.

The music in DDS is so good.

We have to make a dds meme

Seriously, nothing has topped the work he did on DDS.

I don't wanna try to fight this love.

>It's a JRPG done the SMT way.

Pretty much. Although I guess it's ironic for being a good entry into SMT it's also very much not friendly to new players. What do all these spells with names like Rimdora do? Fuck if you know without casting them first. Then again, this was really only changed to include helpful tooltips in Persona 3 from what I remember.

I'm pretty sure even fewer people played Devil Summoner games despite the raidou memes

Yeah, it can be.

My only real issue is devouring enemies can be a bit grindy, and 2 felt a lot shorter than 1.

Fuck yeah he did

It's a JRPG done the Final Fantasy way. It just has an SMT coat of paint. I'd prefer a game that has a "gimmick" if that gimmick gives the game a sense of personality and uniquity. All that gave this in DDS was the setting of the first game.

to be fair, devil summoner has a lot of things going for it but also set it apart from mainstay smt conventions

>real time combat
>historical time period
>slow paced story

If only that real-time combat was good.

The English version of part 1 had a bomb ass opening song.

God, that transition is so bad.
