I don't get how this game expects me to ever choose the chaos path.
Asmodeus tells you to fuck off or fight. You can't even ask what their motive is. Why in the fuck should I ever trust one of the embodiments of the seven deadly sins? He didn't give me any reason to not rescue a human being. I hate when picking one of the choices is fucking moronic.
Yeah unfortunately. Maybe I could call Nintendo?
All my instant deaths land. Even if enemy resists it , it still has an OK chance at landing. When I resort to see sword and gun , I got a really good chance at crits

I didn't do those quests but don't they mention to talk to the questgiver in Shinjuku, and he'll tell you how to access Ikebukuro?

You have to search for it. I remember because I found it by accident while searching for Shinjuku
I wish I knew there was a place in the game that you must pass stats check to access before I dumped most of my points in Magic and Agility. I was able to open 1 out of of those 3 doors and the other two require Str and Luck but I have no idea the amount required for each as it doesn't tell you. The item in the one I was able to open was pretty good and now I feel I'm missing out on the other two :S

Eh, wasn't that surprising considering Nocturne did this as well.
It's a nice incentive for replays anyways.
Anyways, folks, recipe for Black Frost please

Jack the Ripper + Jack Frost + Pyro Jack. I'd recommend doing it after Jack Frost and Pyro Jack learn all of their skills so you can transfer over Bufula and Agilao and their respective boosts.

I just got done with the boss event at Shinjuku
; I don't bother with looking ahead to see what will cause what alignment, since the fun is in finding out how that will come to pass, but I'm really intrigued by what's going to happen with
.
Out of curiosity, I'm not locked of fusing that guy, am I?

Uh I might have missed it, but I don't see what I was doing had to do with the
Ashura Kai.
You need to
srsly what kind of spoiler bars are these.
how would I even know to highlight them... you give no context bro.
I'm not following.
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Ahh... I lack only Jack the Ripper since I didn't have Demolingual back then.
They hang around near... Ueno? Not really sure... or maybe near Shinjuku? Gah, last night I met them aplenty but now I can't seem to recall where I met them, damn.
Dude, you didn't even specify what location, not even your playtime so people can probably estimate where you are. How are people supposed to know where you are to feel safe about reading your post?

I just did a Fusion search with Include Compendium checked and searched for Foul race demons and he popped up
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
He's a level 9 demon, IIRC, and right now my demons are in level 30-40 range, so I am positive I can't fuse him with what I have right now.
...Or is that Include Compendium thing includes all the necessary fusion ingredients too if I have them in my Compendium...?
Huhhhhhhh. I need to try ticking those boxes to experiment more.

I've just left Ginza,
am I anywhere near the ending yet ? Half of the game ? Could someone please provide this info ?

On that note, PLEASE PROVIDE THIS INFO WITH A SPOILER TAG.
Because I DON'T want to know whether the end is coming or not when I reach a certain point of the game, please, thank you.
Should I be glad I have a regular 3DS? I've had no problems at all.
Man, I REALLY don't like chase demon quests. I just want to kill them and be done with!
No problems here after 15 hours of playtime. I imagine you are updated to the latest firmware, right?

Now even better, people will not even know what the question is about regarding that location in the game.
No idea.
I believe so. I think it updated last week and it's always connected to the internet.
It's not terrible depressing because I can save anywhere, but I didn't have this issue playing through Strange Journey, Soul Hackers or Fire Emblem.

I am sure those who have reached the end/finished the game, the only folks I feel qualified enough to answer "how far is this point from the end game" questions, can understand fine.
But me personally I don't want to know whether the end game is closing or not when I reach a certain part; it's a part of the whole experience package

Ah right. But still:
We're given no reasoning by the demon for the kidnapping. His dialogue "THIS ISN'T FOR HUMANS TO KNOW" implies that the demons are pulling the strings of the Ashura Kai, not the other way around.
He appears around Ueno.

Woah. I was pretty damn sure I was lawful, but the guy in the bar says I'm neutral.

Haven't gotten there yet, but what are Judgement Light and Die for Me? The third tier of Hama/Mudo?
You can find out what alignment you are? How?!
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Thanks man.
Anyways, for some reason I really like the "I don't know" answers for various questions posed by the game to me. It feels like a *Shrug, don't really care* which I find funnily compelling.
But then the game always call me pathetic for choosing it
It's 100, just so you know.
Oh, LaughingBanana, you asked about the Party MP Restoration App yesterday or the day before. I finally got it myself, and it's a total of 150 AP for three ranks. And it's totally worth it, the Restoration is SO FAST it's nuts. I was Megidola-ing every encounter, healing with Mediarahan and starting the next battle with max MP.

What did the software update do? I read somewhere that you get app points for street passing with Soul Hackers, Etrian Odyssey and SMT4, yet I got nothing earlier when such an event happened today.
Are you suppose to just download the update from the eshop, and that's it? I'd didn't see an option to apply it, nor does the game acknowledge having it.

Yeah, I know now that the app only have upgrade to the 3rd tier. Actually, even the 2nd tier helps so much with grinding since I can practically launch Javelin Rain with my 90 or so DEX MC with impunity for every encounter with mooks, hahaha.
Btw, the FREE but 1 Dollar costume looks so... out of place. School uniform? Bahhh
if only I can put it for Isabeau :3
And the pants is immediately outclassed both performance AND looks by the one you get from the Okunikishi sidequest
Man I am just loving this game. I want to talk about it more than I have, but the urge to play is just so much stronger. I just finished up some business in Shibuya.
My team is some top tier stuff, I'm going to be sad when I have to fuse them.
THIS demon in particular has been super helpful. He had good resists/nulls to begin with, but I threw on Resist Elec, Null Mind, and I think Resist Dark (he may have had that to begin with). He's got a variety of magic spells, and both Tetrakarn and Makarakarn!
#Team Phys/Gun. I've got Bind status bullets as well. My current moveset is Tathlum Shot, Blast Arrow, Javelin Rain, Fatal Sword, War Cry, Dekunda, Dekaja, and Charge. I know some people like to just dump points into one stat, but this has been working out just fine for me.
I can't get enough of this game at the moment, it's got me obsessed.

Man keeping track of shit in this game is neigh impossible. On the one hand I want to like how it almost never tracks quests on the map but I don't usually have a map of Tokyo when I'm on the can demon-hunting. I think it'd bother me less to be totally lost all the time if I didn't have to accept missions just to activate them. :/
Sucks being in a mission zone but not spawning any of the red monsters because you didn't realize you we're in a boss zone and didn't have the mission active... Also why can't you track a side quest and a main quest at the same time! So silly!
Grips aside, shit if I'm not loving all this trainan' negotiatan' battlan' fusan' evolvan'.

After you complete the main objective in Ikubekuro, you can return to the Shinjuku terminal and go to the bar area where you can heal up for 100. There will be a guy who will go "wanna hear what people are saying about you?"
Hot-blooded = chaos
Polite = law
Hard to read = neutral

Why is everyone super focused on getting neutral? Is there some benefit to it? Is it the "best" path?
CornBurrito

I actually was aiming for Law.
I think most people want it their first go around because it is the harder one to get.
Also it typically is the "best" ending. Or at leas the one with the most hopeful of outcomes.
For me, personally, it's because I tend to role-play the main character as myself. And I think the philosophies typically displayed by Chaos and Law are just outright dumb. So I prefer to go Neutral if possible.
Kind of irritated right now being on Chaos. :s I really don't feel I should have been shunted onto this path (as I whined about earlier in the thread).
Whoa, my Ganesha wants to mutate his Cold World that's been passed down a long way from my King Frost for Repel Physical. A quick look at that Skill site says only two lvl 90+ demons learn it (one of them being our lovely, big, green phallic friend). Feel like it's worth changing.
