Shin Megami Tensei General. 真・女神転生

[tyraravenlocke]

I finished it with the neutral ending ages ago.

Was pretty good... wasn't that hard for a SMT game.

4 days.. and Soul Hackers.. which I have not played.

Pretty excited about that.

[Mizango]

Who actually finished Strange Journey? I accidentally shifted to Chaos and it's pissing me off.

Yes. I played true and ended neutral as well, I cant ever see myself going the good/law route. I have trouble being a candy striper, even on purpose.

[xopher]

I restarted before Captain Jack's headquarters and made different decisions with Jiminez and got back into Neutral. Jesus fuck Chaos makes it a lot harder. And yeah I wouldn't consider this game as hard as Nocturne, just more tedious because of the map design. Having to go back and forth from Fornax to Carina twice and then to Jack's before finishing Fornax; that got a little annoying. But now I am in Grus.

[tyraravenlocke]

That dungeon map you guys were showing.. was that the heaven themed map? If so then yeah .. I know what you are complaining about.. that pretty much sucked.

[xopher]

Yeah Eridanus is the Heaven-like one. The music even sounds like Nanako's Heaven in Persona 4.

Ended up pre ordering soul hackers today, oh god can't wait.

Tuesday!

[Mizango]

Counting the fuck down. Soooo stoked.

[Hitoshura]

When the P2 Innocent Sin english patch released, I played it non stop until I beat it, I think the same will happen with Soul Hackers unless I get stuck.

Body = ready.

You can actually change your alignment to whatever you want after you get a bit further into the game, although it can take forever to do.

Spoiler: show

Once you've delivered a goblin, I think it is, to the fairy village in the first zone you'll find it digging p some treasure. There will be two prompts the first one is to help him dig (slight law increase) or to just watch him (no change). Then once he's dug it up it'll ask if you want to take it from him (slight chaos) or let him keep it (no change). It will take something like 24 of these to go from full law to full chaos or vice versa. This can be useful if you made a mistake during some boss dialogue and saved so you don't have to go back and do it all again.

Finished the game as chaos and although it starts out a bit rough once you get access to a few earth mother types it becomes a lot easier.

Loved the feel of the game but the password demon system makes it way too easy to stroll through the game once you get to a decent macca source (full jihad + victory cry party makes pretty much everything a walk in the park.) Even the final chaos boss isn't that bad if you abuse reflect because of the way they dumbed the mechanic down compared to previous games.

Overall though I really did enjoy the game, don't think it was too bad for them trying to get back to their SMT roots.

Oh and let me just add for chaos players pick up an Atropos when you get the chance, it's very easy to cover any weaknesses she has and she also has a high magic potential (can easily max it long before she gets to 99).

I'm trying to stay Neutral because Alice

[Hitoshura]

I always loved how Alice usually gets a storyline in the SMT games, I don't think she was in III at all, but I hope she is in IV.

Just paid off Soul Hackers, feels good man. They told me I could even pick it up at midnight Monday because Injustice (lolz) is coming out and getting a midnight release.

[xopher]

Alice doesn't get much of a story in SJ. She's a Fiend but she only has one quest as far as I've seen.

[Zilong]

spent a good few hours walking around akiba and various other places last week trying to see if I could still reserve the limited edition pack, no such luck

ended up dropping about 5k markup on an online retailer, but at least I'll get the damn thing next month

[xopher]

The theme from the background of the Nintendo Direct video here gets me more hype.

So hype that I'm prepared to drop money on the limited edition japanese 3DS LL for this game.
