Shin Megami Tensei General. 真・女神転生

How far is the lock from the end of the game? I'm about 35 hours in currently.

[Stromgarde]

Pretty close to the end on Law and Chaos but a bit further on Neutral due to the sidequest requirement, which the former two do not have padding their length. I took my time with the game (42:26 at the Jonathan/Walter split) and finished at 64:13, so you should be on the back third at this point. If I had to hazard a guess I took ~10 hours before the lock and ~10 hours after.

Finally getting around to playing Eternal Punishment, I played Innocent Sin and recorded it 4 years ago a little after it was patched. It sucked though I had to butcher a lot of the footage to make the 10:59 youtube time limit or whatever it as back then, and it was my first time recording myself playing a game. This time there is no time limit to worry about and I can record all the footage I want and include battles. Not sure if people want to see that but I have been mixing it up with conversations, spell fusions, mutations, and so on. Fortunately or unfortunately (whichever way you look at it) I don't have a good microphone, I tried to talk this time around but you can't hear me to well over the game audio, and I didn't like the idea of putting myself over the great music and other things this game has, so I scrapped that idea.

Check out my channel, I will be playing all day between Bioshock Infinite.

Anyone hear word of an official OST release for 4 yet? I'm dying to get my hands on it, so much good stuff.

The side questing in SMTIV after the alignment lock is KILLING ME. Why did they make this shit mandatory?

Easily bringing the game's score down from a 10 to an 8.0.

[Hitoshura]

Let me guess, this was your idea xopher? Can't imagine anyone else going through the trouble of actually getting all the SMT threads together for this section. I am impressed and very surprised.

ETRIAN ODYSSEY IV and SMT: SOUL HACKERS both on sale until 2/17 for $19.99 on the 3DS eshop. Both great games, and both very worth that price.

Shin Megami Tensei is getting an official English release next month!

Spoiler: show

for iOS of course, lol.

For the first time in history, the ground-breaking role-playing game Shin Megami Tensei will be localized for North American release. The original struggle between Law and Chaos is being localized by the ATLUS team behind Persona 4, Catherine, and Shin Megami Tensei IV, and coming exclusively to the App Store™ in 2014. This is the seminal Shin Megami Tensei title that started it all for ATLUS, the inspiration behind Persona, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, etc. I hope you're good at dealing with demons...

Step away from clear notions of good and evil, right and wrong. There are demons in the world, but whether they are ally or enemy depends on player actions. In Tokyo 199X, a mysterious murder leads to the emergence of demons and an escalating global conflict thanks to the rise of a charismatic rebel leader in possession of a demon army, and external forces that wish to crush such threats with extreme measures. As the protagonist, players have an unusual ability (via computer program) to communicate with and recruit demons to fight for them. As they collect demons, the program will allow you to store, summon, and fuse them to create the right team to negotiate the ever-changing balance of powers, and fight for the kind of world you ultimately wish to live in.

The iOS version of Shin Megami Tensei features

• Everything little thing matters: Character choices play a major role in SMT. Not only do they affect the outcome of the game's ending, but also critical gameplay elements along the way - from the facilities players can access to the equipment they can use even limiting the demons that are recritable.

• Fuse at your own risk: With two alignment scales to deal with, Law vs. Chaos and Light vs. Dark, micromanaging teams of demon soldiers becomes an addicting challenge.

• A bit longer than a bathroom break: Shin Megami Tensei is the full-fledged version of the role-playing game, meaning it's 40-60 hours' worth of dungeon crawling in your pocket, everywhere you go.

• The first of its kind: Unless you were prescient enough to import the title from Japan and proficient enough in the language to understand the nuances of the intricate story, this is the first time the story of Shin Megami Tensei is being told in North America.

Shin Megami Tensei will be available on March 18, 2014 on the App Store for $7.99.
