It's remarkably straightforward so long as you talk to the things. They'll tell you exactly where you should go. Just read what they say from right to left.That's exactly where I am.
Speaking of which, how the hell did you all get through the Strange Area? Most confusing map I've encountered

. It's not wonder this game is pretty easy...for some reason the enemies are really low leveled. They were somewhere in the low-mid 20s, while I'm at 34 lol wat. And I haven't even grinded. I fight most battles though, but it's much easier to fight them instead of hope you manage to run. I don't feel like talking is that reliable for the most part either.
I actually managed to Estoma through a large chunk of the area which was nice...kinda. Unfortunately I forgot to return my demons so I lost some MAG. Plus I missed out on EXP, though I am overleveled at this point.
I got to the boss,
and this was the first pretty tough battle considering

LOL. Anyway, because of the difficulty this has been the most fun battle so far. I'm excited to get into the post game for similarly hard fights but it'll be a while before then.

...hmm. Interested to see how this goes. The story's been kinda slow right not honestly, not that much has happened, so hopefully things pick up in full steam now considering this is the first twist.

That level is a huge problem if you have it set to autoscroll.
VR Park is just dumb. Super big area but super annoying to traverse. I didn't realize after a while that there are some dead ends which you could just...jump over.
Beat the boss after I found it eventually and then it kicked me out and I didn't even have half the map done, lol. Though I don't know if I would be able to complete it all the way (would've taken a while too). I only went through one of the doors in the beginning but don't know if it both leads to the same area, or the one I didn't go through led to the other half of it (which seems pointless really, unless there's items there but they put a huge half for just items?)

I mapped out that entire area more or less. There's some great items in the halls, but you have to be facing the walls. I found a Soma in the area before the boss.
Also, re: VQ 3-
I believe Tiamat gets you the version weak to physical, and the other is the one weak to magical.
The boss at the Primate Lab was ridiculously frustrating. I think people will see why when they get to him.
(Bring Estoma.)
You need to have read a post about in the Summoner Net. Its at Nikamimon, the same area where Amami Monolith is.
Hmm, I thought I had read all of the summoner net posts, but I'll check that out, thanks

I just beat
yesterday. I'm trying out extra game right now, I have no idea how to fight the Devil Summoner 1 protag though.

And unless I missed something, it was pretty pointless. Some decent XP at the end, I guess, but not much else, really. ALL CAPS means you constantly lose Mag, and if you don't use the app, you're in a battle with po'dunk enemies every two or three steps. Probably my least favorite part of this game thus far.

Estoma and done.

I'd say that, besides the boss' EXP, the battles are the closest thing to a quest reward, as you can farm a ton of Magnetite from them. Easy low-level enemies, but there's a lot of them in each battle. As long as you have multi-target attacks (Certain swords, Deathbound, Aeon Rain, etc.), the battles are no problem, and they occur with such frequency that you're constantly turning a profit. To illustrate, I walked in there with less than 19000 MAG, and by the time I beat the boss I had over 40000 MAG.
Plus, the location is still available after you beat the boss, which makes it an even better MAG farming point than the Amami Bypass. And it's not a bad place to pick up some low-level enemies for fusion or pet shop purposes.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna tackle VQ3 later today.
And yeah, the boss at the primate lab was rough.
It was especially hard since there are like a million riddles that he cycles through. I never got the same pattern twice. Would've been a little easier if they at least told you the right one when you guessed wrong, but I managed. It was entertaining at least.

Time to start New Game+ I'm taking the Zio path this time. I hope I can get to use Warlord more this run, that spell is amazing.

The music in this game is soooooooooooo good. Dreamy, grungy, and eerie. Very worthy of its place in the moody, genius Megaten soundtrack pantheon.

Naomi Battle Theme
This is one is probably my favorite of all the vision quests. The first devil summoner has some rocking music as well.
ahh so that's how the whole song sounds like.
Naomi kills things way too fast so I didn't get a chance earlier.

I hear that. That part in the game just made me want to stay Naomi for the rest of the game. Alas all good things must come to an end.

Isn't Pixie Kind? Kind is that they like using healing and buff spells. Always look at the type of personality demons are before using them, its in the stats.

Yes. The demons you can buy from Nemechi will have different designs, stats and skills than the ones you can encounter in-game. (However not all Nemechi demons have in-game counterparts)

Way to pick my favorite three tracks in one go, but also consider Airport (Reality).
I'm considering importing the OST. I think it's a worthy purchase. I don't suppose it got a reprint?

Ha! Nice. I liked the VQ version due to the detached piano countermelodies.
One of the best! I really liked Possession by Nemissa. Wish there was more to it. Service Counter reminds me of something you'd hear from Phantasy Star Online. This version of EL115 isn't part of the OST but it's still great.

Figures.
I find the original cover slightly better though...
And it's cheaper. Go for it!

How do I beat the
? Do I just keep getting demons that are powerful enough attack wise with two that know attack up for party and defense down for the boss?

It sure makes me happy to see this game getting such positive reception here :')
I took a few days break from the game and now that I'm back and I now got
on my Nemechi. I have 2185 d souls saved up, with some having been spent.

But it just absorbs it. It does no damage.
When it absorbs too much it dies. (Remember how the boy in front of the painting said dolphins lie?) Just keep wailing away at him with magic till he dies.

Funny, I figured it was some joke about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Nemechi basically gives you rare demons, some only available through him. I figured he was someone you could use in battle like the Zoma, but I guess not.

Oh come the fuck on! How was I suppose to figure that out!?!?!?
Listen to the Raidou 2 version if you haven't. It's amazing:

lol yeah. It's too bad the way the game handles background music and how it lowers it when someone is talking. Which is OK, but when they stop talking it doesn't get higher...
Also, Amami Airport (Vision Quest) >>>>>>>>> (Reality) thanks to the piano.

He tells you as you fight him.
Hit him and he says not to, cast magic and he asks for more.

I just bought this guy actually! I haven't really used him yet, but I had to have it!Its how you get this glorious bastard (yes this is just one demon) and more!
BTW, I convinced all of my friends with 3DS' that have open streetpass slots to let me turn on streetpass for this on their 3DS'. I don't have to spend all my play coins on Nemechi anymore!
