Also SMT thread, I guess

Don't listen to TDE faggots, Do Amala until you recruit Dante and don't follow other people reasons to achieve the Freedom Ending
Grayson Roberts
reasons are a meme. go for TDE because its a lot more content.
game is mostly about buffs/debuffs and having the right pokemon
Jaxson Cox
Maniax is garbage. TDE undermines the point of multiple endings and should be ignored.
Jaxson Edwards
Ignore everyone and just play the game. You'll get the ending you're meant to get that way.
Owen Gray
Make sure you can use sukukaja and sukunda at all times, focus on making the Demi fiend use physical skills and make sure to have a demon/Magatama that voids/absorbs a boss ability to make it lose turns.
Levi Campbell
rage quit at the labyrinth because it gets too difficult for my brain
Henry Hughes
>my first mainline megaten
I assume that means you've played persona games. Buffs/Debuffs and fusing your demons regularly is even more important so don't ignore that shit.
Gavin Gutierrez
You've got to think carefully about your skills since you have limited slots and everytime you level up with a Magatama equipped you're given a skill that you either have to forgo permanently or take by replacing an existing skill permanently. Fog Breath is essential and you get it pretty early.
Chase Gray
Explore Amala ASAP because there are some quality of life demons in it you can buy that give you stuff like estoma/levitate/light all in one without being a pain in the ass.
Nathaniel Morgan
If you've played other megaten games and are used to the mechanics already maybe play hard mode it will probably prove more satisfying. Also best to go in blind, lose enough and you'll slowly learn how to tackle challenges yourself. I will say Agility stat + Luck stat are kind of useless. Luck does the exact same thing agility does, but less. While Agility prevents being back attacked (could be useful) and also effects the turn order. Contrary to popular believe Luck does not effect crit rate in this game.
Brandon Sanders
Most specifically picasa which you can get straight away, don’t force yourself to clear all of the kalpas though as they’re really cancerous first time around.
Carson Lewis
Don't delete the Charge skill on demifiend unless you really mean it. You get it early but it's still good very late, unlike most other early shit.
Think hard about taking any boost skills (e.g. ice boost) on demifiend also. When you get good spells of that type later in the game you may like to be able to slot that boost spell, but if you took it early you may have deleted it or have wanted to delete it many times.
Luke Rivera
It's Focus in Nocturne
Henry Sullivan
This is the only megaten where strength is the best build
If you get acquire all magatamas you can do a side mission where you get an ultimate magatama that gives +10 to all stats except luck
Keep that pixie, i think if you fuse her it goes on top of your demon list, just don't release the demon its in
Get the candelabras and visit amala since its good xp
James Morris
TDE is the fun route, with the actually challenging final boss.
Use buffs, they last indefinitely in battles
Fuse demons to make better demons
What? They were fun and mostly short.
It's nothing compared to ToK.
Caleb Brown
Oh hey I'm playing it too. Just got to the Underground Pass
John Lewis
TDE is a garbage ending and the final boss is way less fun than the normal game boss. That said, Amala Labarynth and the battles with the Fiends are the best part of the game so still worth it.
Sebastian Morales
Pisaca is the only one that matters and he's on the first floor
Joseph Martin
Buffs and debuffs are pretty useful in all the SMT games I've played.
Jason Scott
More so in Nocturne. I don’t think the game is even possible without using buffs unless you’re really over levelled
Jackson Gonzalez
Charge
Freikugel
Aaron Nguyen
ENTER THE WORLD OF STRENGTH
Also True Demon Ending is the only good one. The others are literally just someone being like LOL WE'RE LAW NOW and a picture of Tokyo
James Morris
I only have secondhand knowledge of Nocturne, but Demifiend seems like a fan favorite SMT protag. Is it just because the game is memorable or does he stand out from the others somehow?
Owen Hall
Because he punches God in the face.
Brayden Nelson
Forneus is weak to zio
Don't lose track of your pixie
Landon Ramirez
chad demifiend vs virgin gun using joker
Logan Baker
He's cool because of the STR build, something about a tattooed scrawny dude obliterating deities with his fist is inherenty awesome. Atlus also bought into the meme and they made him the hardest boss in the entire series in Digital Devil Saga.
Henry Gray
I'm partway through and it's my first too. Having a hard time not dropping it tbqh, feel like I'm getting filtered. I just got through the big tunnel dungeon and fucking hated it. Now I learn the bosses are optional and I can't decide if I want to go back or not.
Matthew White
I also like the demifiend because he literally has no friends or allies other than his demons, he literally exists to obliterate god, that is pretty much his sole purpose, kind of like the doomslayer on a way.
Gavin Nelson
No matter what build you go with you are going to want to level the ice magta whatever the fuck they're called so you can get fog breath
Jackson Morris
Technically he head bumps God in the face with a 'tism beam if you went STR
Joseph Smith
DENIM
Elijah Jenkins
All your choices matter so think carefully. Fuck what everyone else says and enjoy the game your way. Fuse as you please. Buff and debuff until you get big penis
John Flores
DUDE LONELINESS
Kevin James
His new friends are much better than his old ones
Jose Harris
The Diet Building has to be the greatest dungeon in JRPG history
Matthew Wood
Punch really hard
