First boss? You mean the first fiend? The first boss is Forneus and I don't think he's gonna destroy anyone, even on hard. >_>;

Aw yes, I mean Matador who will swoop in and take you out in two turns if you don't have a way to deal with his "force" attacks.


Speaking of which, Nocturne also has a pretty amazing game over screen.

 

[Noi]

but you get Dante along the way.

Shame that he's almost useless for the actual true final boss fight. :V

Raidou isn't in the Maniax Chronicles version. He can learn stuff Dante can't.

Naturally we've never gotten that version in English.

 

[meltingparappa]

The most impressive thing about Nocturne is that some fan took the time to make a program to show you all possible demon combinations. You just plug in what you have and it'll show you what you can make, or pick a demon and it'll do the opposite.

Easy to take for granted now that a system like that has been built in since................. Devil Survivor 1?

But it was a lifesaver going through the mercilessly hard optional dungeon.

 

[Young Magus]

The same can be said about almost every other game under the Megaten banner. Atlus has a talented stable of musicians over there.




Demikids is the worst Megaten game, and is also balls hard, but it's supposed to be a kids game.

Good point my friend

Raidou still doesn't learn Pierce, unless I'm mistaken. Edit: Buddah'd. Without that skill, he and Dante can't really hurt the true final boss. The reason I say "almost" and not completely useless is that they can still act as extra monsters to summon if needed, as well as their Dekunda-variant spells (and provoke, but provoking the TDE boss is generally a BAD idea.)

Used and abused it. So good.

[Noi]

Raidou learns Pierce

Hence "unless I'm mistaken." SMT Wiki doesn't show that.

That makes Raidou marginally better than Dante then!

 

[buddha0991]

Interesting how Raidou gets the most cameos, tributes and mentions out of any Megaten character.

Pretty impressive for a guy that's heavily tied to a very specific time period. He's personally my favorite character design in all of the SMT-verse, maybe of all time.

I dressed up for him as halloween once

Also cripes, Pierce. It's all coming back to me. Save your Pixie, never forget fog breath. Gyeaguh, thank god for walkthroughs.

 

[buddha0991]

I mean, the dudes in two of his own games, is a boss battle in nocturne and soul hackers, a party member in nocturne, Naoto is a walking tribute to him who then becomes a walking tribute to Kyoji Kuzunoha in her novel, and he's also mentioned as a tv show in Persona, but that's the localization's fault. Did I miss any?

Really, only ones that I know of was in P4, Nocturne and

the EX dungeon in Soul Hackers 3DS.

Are there any more out there?

EDIT: Beaten with the answer

 

[dakkumauji]

He's also as an adorable Frost.

 

[meltingparappa]

Raiho is an amazing pun, no matter how you slice it.


Edit:

Guy above me, you are thinking of the Demifiend

Wait, am I? O_O

That's more than any other character. the Kuzunoha clan are still around and operating detective agencies in Persona 2 also.

[TWILT]

I should get around to playing Nocturne someday. The only other SMT games I've played besides Persona are both Devil Survivor games (and I enjoyed both a lot, though the first one more.) Feels bad man.

 

[buddha0991]

I somehow turned this into a Megaten general thread for two glorious pages.

I wish the psp version of the very first devil summoner was fan translated or something.

 

[Dresden]

Nocturne Vita where

I'd love to play it again but the thought of busting out my ps2 from wherever it's stashed is not appealing at all.

Also got to the concert, lame but it was short, at least. Ironic that it's one event where it could use scooter-level planning but instead everyone learns how to play in a weekend.

That sounds like a good idea but wasn't there some emulation issues in that port?

 

[Sophia]

Oh god, the gag glasses with Kanji. So funny XD

It didn't seem that bad when I played it, any specific issues stated?

 

[meltingparappa]

I love that you can outfit all your teammates in the gag glasses during the dungeon crawls. I like to imagine them telling Teddie that they prefer keeping the gag ones over the real ones, perhaps at Yukiko's insistance.

Have you tired talking to everyone with the various glasses on in a dungeon? Hit Square and talk to your teammates. Each of them has a comment for their own outfit, as well whatever your wearing.

This thread is now 100x cuter.

I forgot about Kanji grabbing the second pair of fakes, and died of laughter again. XD

The new cutscene about getting a motorcycle license is pretty funny too.

I approve!

Wait until you get the cutscene after everyone gets their license.

I just want to give her a big hug. :3

Fucking Mitsuo and his bullshit instant-death evil smile

Aww yeah, License obtained, City unlocked, Agent set acquired, and everyone equipped.

Aww yea, Agent suits, that's how I roll. Get ready to grind with class, Soph. Teddie has the best outfit btw. If you speak to Yukiko in the dungeon, she basically says she feels like the men in black.

 

[Jintor]

I wish they had poses for the Agent suits. That's why Gekkou is my grinding outfit of choice

Yukiko really likes most of the outfits.

Some/Half of them come in a set, which you only need to buy once.

/edit oh, the motorcycle plan? Man... I gotta do that again...

I AM SO MAD, OMG.

Spoiler

Literally only one-two hits away from beating Shadow Teddie after 45 minutes. I go an all out offense to finish him off, but don't do so by a magic pixel. S. Teddie does a REGULAR ASS ATTACK ON THE MC that, even with Ara Mitama equipped to reduce phys, does 229 HP damage.

MC had 228 HP.

I can't fucking DEAL
