>TFW you wait a million years to get a 3DS, so long that the New 3DS was announced with Xenoblade port, and on the day of release SMT4 and Mario 3D Land were on sale for $20 each.

it is dumb because not only do you get picked up you don't lose any progress so it can actually be advantageous to allow yourself to be wiped out if a battle isn't going your way so you don't waste any MP or items, since you revive at the state right before the battle began. at least in iv you would have to pay a macca penalty.

i actually started the game on conflict but i bumped it up to war because it felt too easy. it definitely feels easier than iv was, anyway. i'll have to replay the game again with war on from the start.

couldn't u save anywhere in smt4 ? i just reset if i died :twisted:

yeah you gotta abuse the poo poo out of saving in smt4 cause you're always an enemy turn away from being wiped lol

The only thing I don't like about the respawn mechanic is that Dagda's dialogue is the same every time. It should be contextual.

did they actually censor the name YHVH for this release or is it part of the game somehow because that's loving dumb

lol it's not censorship

"However, by the time of the Talmud, it was the custom to use substitute Names for God. Some rabbis asserted that a person who pronounces YHVH according to its letters (instead of using a substitute) has no place in the World to Come, and should be put to death."

It's actually a really cool reference to obscure ancient judaism which is the most SMT thing

he's just another demon. I really liked that if you kept the starting pixie in Nocturne you could turn her into a special super strong one

i was riding high on a string of easy boss victories until i ran into one who could raise all of his stats, hit you with every status effect in the game, and lower your stats all in the same turn. i'm going to have to sleep on this one.

Kinda tempted to get Fusion Booster to +6 even though I know it would break the game. It's only 100 App points in Apocalypse versus 180 in IV. Or I could spend my 90 points on 9 demon slots and an MC skill slot.

I took Fusion Booster to +4 and kind of regret it because it's trivialised a lot of the game and now that I'm near the end demons stronger than me only really unlock when I'm nearly at their level anywy

Physical or digital? This might be a problem with my saving style...

I found out about the changes in Apocalypse mode. You do 40 percent less damage compared to Conflict and enemies deal around 50 percent more. Enemies smirk more and you're more susceptible to ailments. You can't switch from Apocalypse once you select it. Also it's game over if Nanashi dies. I'm sure that there are other changes too. I can't wait for the 4th.

I also found out that the fiend dungeon resets and gets harder every time you complete it. I'm going to be playing this game for so long.

It's not a huge bump from war mode which has been relatively easy so far. One weird thing I just found out is that compendium prices are tripled in war mode but not in Apocalypse. Seems like the definitive experience imo.

There's a mode called Paradise that makes you do 200 percent damage and enemies deal 50 percent damage that you might enjoy.

At any rate, you won't be able to access the bonus dungeon without bumping it up to hard mode. I think you can play on normal until then though.
