I believe it in you. You have all the tools, you need only go in with the will and drive to strike it down

This is a pretty bad idea, SMT already has about the same amount of avoidable boss fights as the Fallout's with not having to merc your own alignment. But Fallout also has other systems to engage with the world that aren't combat focused and even still you only get a handful of bosses that you can just skip. F1, if you do the digging to get the data and have high speech you can convince the master to off himself, but you still have to deal with the Military base F2, neither Dick Richardson or Frank can be convinced to not do the whole FEV plan, but you can stack the deck against them by getting the self destruct code from Dan Quayle or getting the Enclave team to help you kill Frank F3 you can convince a hundred year old AI to off itself by using absolute moron logic. And kill Autumns entire force, blow up the people he grew up with and leads, destroy his home, and then take the purifier to do the literal exact same thing he was going to do, but Brotherhood flavored. But you can talk him down, neither of those examples are good NV you can convince Lanius to gently caress off if you make a good enough argument and don't show your hand. The thing with all the examples is you already have a designed combat encounter before it. You can stealth the Military Base but you aren' t likely to your first time, you need to kill Frank to leave the Oil Rig, You have to follow Prime to the Purifier and you need to do the whole Dam battle. This means the Talking choices are balanced by engaging both sides of the core gameplay, dialogue and combat. Since Fallout, and WRPG's in general are more dungeon based, as in they're balanced around the entire dungeon as an experince including all the grunts that balance holds. SMT isn't like that except partially the earlier dungeon crawler games. People will remember the clusterfuck of the Dam battle, nobody remembers the packs of Empusa's they slaughtered on the way to Thor. SMT is just based more on the singular boss battle as a capstone of the dungeon experience, turning that from an exciting combat encounter to a speech check would feel awful to play. Imagine if you got to the top of YHVH's domain, he goes into his whole spiel, and then you just hit [Speech 100 Have you tried not being a dick?] and then the game ended

SMT would have you speech 100 him and then he'd still kill you, because he's a petty tyrant. But Nuwah, the creator of humans?

Tbh the no swapping to hard thing is mainly annoying because the part of hard I hate the most is the early game where a single badly timed miss can cause you to get killed

It’s SMT so it’d be more like YHVH asking you what’s your favorite type of woman, and then high fiving you and becoming your best friend when you say “tall girls with big asses”

Although if this was Nocturne it be random and he might instantly attack you for saying that exact same thing.

I wish someone would retranslate the PSX versions of Personas 1-2.5, just so they could be played in their original format if one wished to.

1 is the most interesting game atmospherically. No other games matched up to it's creeping unease as things just keep getting worse and worse. But mechanically it's brain dead most of the time and there's a lot of little things that are annoying 2 is more interesting in terms of the greater cosmology and has a better set of different biomes, and a good story. But it's opening is significantly weaker and it's still incredibly easy. About as hard as a FF.

But it's opening is significantly weaker and it's still incredibly easy. About as hard as a FF. I also prefer SMT1 or at least would replay it sooner than 2, and yeah I think it's largely because SMT1 has a cool opening with demons encroaching on the real world culminating in its inspired time skip. As opposed to SMT2 starting you in a generic sci-fi city split into 4 districts and just a guy sending you on missions to deal with some crisis that suddenly popped up in each district one after another. Always reminded me of the equally dull opening chapter of Neverwinter Nights. Neeksy posted:I wish someone would retranslate the PSX versions of Personas 1-2.5, just so they could be played in their original format if one wished to. There's nothing wrong with the official translation of P2:EP PS1 really except for the spell/item names being spelled a bit differently than after the names were standardized in the Nocturne localization. P2:IS PS1 also had a fan translation released shortly before the PSP version which was also fine outside of odd spell name spelling. PS1 Persona 1 is the only one that doesn't have a faithful translation as far as I know

I’m thinking of playing Nocturne for the first time. Should I play my PS2 disc on an emulator or shell out for the remaster on Steam? I remember there being mentions of the remaster being crappy/buggy for awhile, not sure how much of that if any got fixed.

I remember there being mentions of the remaster being crappy/buggy for awhile, not sure how much of that if any got fixed. I never had any problems with the remaster when I got it on Steam. The translation is at least slightly updated and there is a great voice track now. You can also completely skip some boss fights and a new dungeon by turning off the Raidou DLC. I don't recommend this but it is an option. The ability to choose between Raidou or Dante (if you buy the latter's DLC) is also a neat feature only in the remaster. You can also play different music if you get that DLC. If you have the money to spare, I say go for it. If not, emulating is just fine. Nocturne on PS2 has a great mod you might want to try out one day, Nocturne HardType.

The remaster has manual skill inheritance and lets you change the difficulty on the fly, go with it.

Manual skill inheritance is probably worth the money but FWIW I played through on original hardware last year and thought it was a near flawless game . Except for random skill inheritance.
