Catalina posted:You HAVE to max out his social link. Him surviving only makes sense within the context of the last events of the social link. The Christmas event wasn't particularly any better or worse than the max rank event, if I remember correctly (I went through all of the scenes before grabbing Akihiko's SP recovery item). Just the usual "wait until I grow up!" thing. The spend time event after you max Ken's rank is pretty funny though. Ken: Eheh, isn't it a little weird, us being alone like this? >"No" Ken: ..........oooookaaaaay

Strange Matter posted:I'm in the last month of the game, and there's no way I'm going to be able to max out the following S.Links: Star has Helel, which is a crazy useful high level Persona. The fusion spell with Satan allows you to one-shot anything in the game except for the bonus boss. If you're not planning on fighting the bonus boss though, you really don't need Helel because if you can fuse him you're already stupidly overleveled for the final fight. To your earlier post: There's no special fusion for Satan, but Judgement Persona are typically difficult to find a good combination for to begin with.

Strange Matter posted:Well shoot I actually want Helel so I can beat the Reaper and get to Monad. I think I've got that S.Link up to...5 and I have about 23 days left. Hopefully that's enough! You can beat the Reaper by stunlocking him with Odin's Thunder Reign skill (it takes some luck though since you can be screwed over by a bad turn order). He's also entirely beatable without Armageddon, and grinding to a high enough level to be able to use it just to get access to Monad so you can grind even harder is kind of insane. Ibram Gaunt posted:1. Were you like out for a long time between the conception and the vortex world? everything seems to be already established the second the world ends complete with all the lingering souls knowing whats up which I thought was kind of odd. 1. The world was established as it was in order to create a board where Creation could occur. Hikawa actually engineered the whole thing in order to give himself a huge advantage at the start. His intention was for himself to be the only human capable of Creation in the Vortex World, and even if others ended up coming too he could still crush everything with the massive amount of resources he had access to. 2. I always assumed it was just some demon that Lucifer had take the form of your teacher in order to make the Demi-Fiend more sympathetic to the plight of the demons. jonjonaug fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Aug 10, 2011 |

Kaboom Dragoon posted:Absolutely. You'd need to plan your demons and skills carefully and it'd be hard as hell at times, but it's not outwith the realms of possibility. I'm pretty sure it is impossible because Kagutsuchi has an attack that will do over 1000 damage even to a fully leveled party unless you have some buffs/debuffs going. Maybe if you do the Demon ending (the one where you don't fight Kagutsuchi and the game ends with it yelling at you) and avoid the four Oni (or come back and fight those guys later at the end of the game) it might be possible.

What a wuss, the true pros can take bullshit trophies like "Do the Land of Carnage without losing any of your units and beating every level 9999 enemy with only a plastic ladel". Looking through the trophy list for Overclocked, the only really bullshit one seems to be "beat the game without doing any Free Battles", which shouldn't be that hard on a New Game+ (although I'm not sure if it'll accept it on a NG+).

Cake Attack posted:When it seems like the game is over, go to Junes, even though the game insists there's no reason for you to do so. That's for the true ending. Earlier in the game, there's a decision that will get you either the bad ending, or set you on the path to the normal and true endings. On December 3rd, you'll be asked six questions, all of which you have to choose the right answer for or you'll get the bad ending. Post again when you make it there, because there's no way to tell you the right answers without spoilers. (Well I suppose somebody could tell you which answers to choose numerically, but I can't remember that.) Or, you know, you could not be an idiot and avoid the bad end simply by thinking things through when you're making choices in heavily charged situations.

As long as you never dismiss her or do anything else that would remove her from your party (Not counting fusing of course), you're good. No, you can fuse the Pixie, but I'm fairly certain using her as the third demon in a sacrificial fusion (the one that gets spiked) will break it.

9999DMG posted:Does anyone have advice on how I can get this to work? Is evolving High Pixie and Lilim just an unnecessary hassle? This is not how evolving works. High Pixie evolves at level 16, or later if the Demi-Fiend isn't a high enough level when this happens. Evolving happens when a demon learns all of its skills and the Demi-Fiend is at least the level of the evolved demon (or within the level by about two levels, I forget which). If the demon has already learned all of its skills by the time you've reached that level, you only need to level it up once more when the Demi-Fiend has a high enough level. Here's a handy guide with more info. jonjonaug fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Feb 6, 2012 |

Catalina posted:I've been really pleasantly surprised by how deep the game is willing to go when it comes to characters and storylines. The anime style and teenage protagonists had me expecting this would be a game that would stop at that level, but I've found that as the game goes on, the deeper the observations and predictions of human behavior go. Some of the events and reveals have had me audibly reacting. The art style is pretty deceptive, Devil Survivor is SMT to the core. Guys going crazy, Order and Chaos both having their own machinations with humanity caught in the middle, demons killing poo poo and being bonkers, etc. I went in expecting Persona and ended up with something pretty similar in atmosphere to the core SMT series, it was a nice surprise.

Catalina posted:On the beginning of day 6 in Devil Survivor now. This is the first game in a long time where I've thought "I want to replay this!" rather than "oh, multiple endings. Maybe I'll get around to it some day." I hope there's a new game + that offers advantages. I'd hate to have to grind all my demons up from scratch again. If you're playing the DS version, New Game+ offers a slew of perks. Scaled down XP is removed (basically means you can play through the game without ever doing a free battle, or grind to ridiculous levels) and you keep all of your demons and cracked skills. If you're playing the 3DS version, then you earn points to unlock New Game+ features by clearing paths or beating the game in certain ways (no free battles, never having anyone downed in battles, clearing 8th day paths, beating bonus bosses, etc). The most important ones are cheap, but some cost a lot. You will probably only be able to carry over a couple of demons on your first playthrough. These points carry over to each playthrough, so by your third playthrough you should be able to grab everything you might want. Len posted:I'm finally going to start Devil Survivor Overclocked to finish it before the sequel comes out. Is there a way to skip all the dialogue?

I didn't realize I had to use the power Babel was weak against. I got the overlord ending. I'm now moving on to the 8TH day and am now stuck where Amane fights against the Anti-Overlords god drat are the AI stupid. Twice now I've had a character that is not supposed to get killed die on their first encounter. I'm determined to get a final ending before DS2 comes out. I'll definately be replaying for another ending afterwards. That level is a lot more fun on a kill everyone that gets in your way run because you can just kill the annoying escort NPCs.

Meiteron posted:-Demons are agitated and can't be recruited normally if you try talking to them at full phase. However, some races like fouls and wilders can actually be recruited randomly talking to them at full phase. Chances are still low, however. I'm pretty sure ALL demons can be recruited randomly like that at FULL phase. There's also a higher chance of demons outright approaching you and asking a question which will cause them to join up. Demons are easier to negotiate with normally the lower the phase is though. Enemies will also be slightly stronger as you get closer to FULL phase. This is very slight, but can be quite noticeable during some boss fights. Enemy behavior in combat is also tied to the phase. There are also various puzzles in the game that depend on the phase in some manner (ones in the Obelisk involve manipulating it, what parts of the Fourth Kapla you can access change depending on the phase, etc). jonjonaug fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Apr 22, 2012 |

There's no real difference between the FATE system and Social Links other than that in DS2 you can only level up with party members. They both work well but neither game should really adapt the other because Social Links wouldn't work in the setting of Devil Survivor and the FATE system wouldn't work in a dating sim where you frequently interact with people who aren't in your party. Also, the whole "won't mention life changing events" thing was an issue in Persona 3. This was fixed in Persona 4 by not letting you start party member social links until they had joined your party, and some events are different after Nanako is kidnapped.

Brother Entropy posted:Speaking of Fiends/Amala is there anything non-intuitive there? I just fought the first of the riders and it seems like the general pattern is 'kill fiends, do Amala until you can't anymore, repeat'. There's a guy in the First Kalpa (I think, anyway, might be the second) that you can talk to who will tell you about Fiend locations as they spawn in the game world. A couple of them (some of the Riders and Mother Harlot) are in places you've been to before and would have no reason to go back to, so check back with him if you're wondering about that.

Nate RFB posted:-I hear you can choose whether to get romantically involved in your S. Links this time around or not. If you only choose one girl (or none?), does this mean there is absolutely no way to reverse a Link in the P3 manner (where every visit to a female S. Link would shave off time on every non-Maxed female link until they ultimately reversed). You can't reverse a link like that in Persona 4 at all (although there are some leftover lines you can find in a script dump). The only reversible links are Moon and Fortune, and the only Breakable link is Moon. These all come from possible reactions to certain choices in their links.

Katsudon posted:Where have they said this, though? I mean, I don't care if it is canon or not, so far for me it's an enjoyable game and really well done but people keep saying this and I've never seen an official source saying so. Likewise, I've seen the opposite claimed. It'd be nice if someone could actually find where canon/not canon was confirmed and then it'd clear the mystery up for all. From what I remember, the new epilogue to Golden sort of references its existence by saying that something troublesome happened between when the protagonist first left Inaba and the epilogue.

Do you consider it worthwhile for me to import the Japanese versions of the first two before I play the Raidou games? I could probably use the Japanese practice, but honestly, P2IS (EDIT: Fixed.) is the oldest Megami Tensei game that doesn't drive me up the loving wall. The first two Devil Summoner games and the Raidou games have almost nothing to do with each other, it doesn't matter.
