Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

[Yuroko]

Game's only tough if:
1. You never bothered to skill crack.
2. You never update your demons.
3. You're on your first game, NG+ is easy unless fighting secret boss.

If you have been skill cracking and updating demons, you should have no problems until day 6/7, then you have to start to use your brains a little in order to win.

not that hard overall.

[Mizango]

Definitely giving this a try after I beat Persona 4.

...sigh, still got to finish Digital Devil Saga.

Yes you do! DDS is made of win, have you played part 2? If not looks like you have 2 to catch up on

[Evokerz]

I only had played persona series and have not even start playing Digital Devil...
FFXI really took much of my time lol ><;

[Yuri-G]

DDS is absolutely made of win. I finally beat the first one, now to go through a new game + (for the right dialogue choices) and finally move onto the second. I loved the ending though... very cryptic.

Spoiler: show

who is Angel, and why does Gale know her? she seemed to be a villain, but is she really? why did the cyber-world end? what the fuck is going on? these are rhetorical questions, btw... please don't spoil DDS2 for me!

to say the least, it certainly makes you want to play DDS2. I might play a few minutes of it just to get an idea of what's going on, even though I won't start my real new game until I've done a new game + of DDS.

anyway, playing through Devil Survivor still. day 3 now, and Beldr can go fuck himself. you show up at the end of an easy story battle and use an attack that hits everyone on the entire field before I can react? you, sir, are an asshole.

I've been putting playing this game off for awhile, but this thread has given me new motivation to give it a shot. D; Also looking up Eternal Poison for the FFT reference as well as DDS! SO behiiiiind.

DDS2 going to be as awesome as 1 if not more ^^ Makes me wanna play both again lol :D

I just started day 4, haven't been playing much cause I fear it's going to end too soon ; ;

[Zilong]

The last 2 days is basically the second half of the game.

I mean it's still a relatively short game, but pretty much everything about the plot and series of battles is thrown into the last 2 days.

glad to hear it... I'm torn between just going for it and waiting until I've done a new game + on DDS... I want to continue with the story, but I know I screwed up pretty badly on my first game as far as certain dialogue choices go.

edit: and, while searching for images of Roland to see if I'd rather use him or the "secret character," I just found some DDS Hentai. apparently Roland is both very built and well-hung o.O and he masturbates quite vigorously, it seems. well then. good to know.

[Eligor]

If you reeeaaally want to make a perfect DDS1 playthrough to unlock everything in DDS2, it's gonna take quite a copious amount of grinding (and the rewards VS effort ratio is pretty meh, sadly).
DDS2 is brilliant. Especially the last third of the game, easily one of the most "oh god what the fuck is going on" moment in the entire series.

[Yuri-G]

oh I'm definitely going for the +5 stat bonuses. I've already done plenty of grinding. probably around... hmm... 1/3 of the total grinding, maybe? I don't have most of the ultimate-boss mantras, but I made sure everyone mastered Godly Spirit and Monotheist for the second playthrough, the latter of which took forever since you have to finish every single elemental mantra first.

not having to spend money on mantras the second time around should make the endgame grinding a bit less painful, though. hopefully. I'm pretty sick of Titanias and Arahabahkis.

it won't be a PERFECT DDS save, though. I'm not going for Hitoshura. fuck that shit.

[Gokulo]

You could always download a perfect save game too if you don't want to wait, because, as Eligor said, getting it yourself will take quite a lot of time.

And lol at Roland stuff *grin*

Well, that's good to know I guess <.< I hate games that are split into "days" because they just feel short, even if they are or aren't.

no way... I didn't grind Null Attack and Auto-Soma just to give up now!

if you want to see roland in all his glory just google image search: digital devil saga roland

[Julian]

So, I'm at Jelzebel, and apparently I never cracked any fire defensive skills at all.

How fucked am I? lol

edit: FUUUUUUCK YEAH I DID IT, <3 <3 <3 Midori

[Zilong]

Jezebel is hilariously easy.

Also, bring amritas/megami type demons to Beelzebub.

[Julian]

I already beat the game

Midori and MC raped everything to death.

Game was too short it was really good for a DS game, though.

[Zilong]

I'm still kinda pissed that the game cockblocked me on Haru/Gin's route on 2 playthroughs where I've done everything I can think of to trigger it (positive answer to haru, saved gin on 6th day, as much conversation to both)
