Did you kill Peallaidh yet? If not, there's someone in the Ueno Hunter Association bar you need to talk to.
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I get to that part.
Guess I'll go with Walter then and hope for the best.
Neutral route question.
Did you select only the top choices for the non-major alignment shifting dialog?

ugh just got killed by a random encounter, 4 reinforcements in a row and they kept striking first.........
I found them as a reward for a delivery quest. I think it was something I turned in at the Ginza bar.
I have been had. There is no demon's domain. All I found were broken promises and lies.
I've exhausted all the Shinjuku storefronts, so I guess it's time to move on and come back later to try another coffee raid.
its specifially dropped in that one area i mentioned earlier. Problem is that it seems to be a very rare drop. Like i said, i gained 20 levels by the time it dropped for me
I don't remember what I did. Definitely didn't do that though. There's guides around that suggest doing that for a foolproof way, but I just kinda felt my way through and lucked out, so I'm not going to be very helpful.
Sounds like my cue to move on with the main quests and worry about beans later. Lol.

For the first level, not really. But levels 3 + 4 boost your fusion levels by 4 and 6 respectively, which is pretty nice.

Dumb question, but I did the quest for the hunter that wanted me to take pictures of Ikebukuro. But now I can't remember where he was. Little help?
Some things I haven't even found end game and having done a ton of quests. Those quests where you can only find the item randomly aren't really worth worrying about.

Don't mean to repost, but my question got buried in like 20 seconds.

EDIT: Found him. He's outside the underground area, course I couldnt find him.

Shinjuku Station West Entrance. When you come up from the Underground, there's a door pretty much right in front of you, between the underground exit and a storefront relic.
Wow, I hope I end up lucking out like that. There doesn't seem to be much leeway with getting Neutral either.
I finished the game, neutral path. Total playtime:

This game is, quite honestly, a dream come true. It's the kind of game I never expected to be made ever again, and one that makes me feel like I'm a teenager again. Some of my fondest gaming memories are playing through SMT1 and 2 when they came out, and those two games are so incredibly unique and unmatched in so many ways. I didn't think I'd ever play anything like them ever again. This game feels like those, but modernized in all of the ways that really matter to me. And all from a team that didn't even work on the originals. It's so great that Atlus has new people who really get what SMT is, and it makes me super excited for the future.

I just fought Tenkai and
I'm assuming the conversation was to confirm my alignment? I picked the answer for the first question and he told me the answer aligns with my path which was *awesome*, but then asked the second question it was obviously either Law or Chaos. I picked Chaos and I hope that mere answer won't screw me up.
Still plenty of chances to change what path you're on! You'll know when you get to the final choice.
I'd say roughly
half way to a little more than half way? Depending on how you play I guess.
The overworld map is pretty frustrating. Other than the three terminals I've found, I know where nothing is. I think I'm supposed to go to ikebukuro, but the only directions I can find (this helpful gamefaqs link) only provide directions to it from a bunch of other places I haven't found.
I'm eagerly looking forward to someone making a clearly labeled map!

I really, really, love this game. So much I've essentially beat it 3 times within 3 days.
Now to do the dreaded Law playthrough.
Then I wait for the good DLC.

Also for those who need a really good tool for demons and knowing a bunch of Fusion recipes use this excellent application someone made: http://erikku.github.io/smt4tool/

Thanks! At least now I know which direction I'm supposed to be headed, just have to find an open path there.

For anyone else pumping points into Dex, do you find getting all the various types of bullets and having them on hand is useful? So far, I just have 2 different status ailment bullets to play with.
I'm asking because I'm swimming in Macca and I don't ever buy armor because the equipment I get through side quests and the
are much more suited for my Dexterity, Agility, and Luck build than the stuff I can buy in the Black Market.
I also never summon demons out from the compendium, and I have plenty of items from chest and monster encounters.
Is there some sort of gold sink or will I need all the Macca I can get come mid/late game?
[EDIT]Fixed the spoiler tags, sorry.

I'm perhaps halfway in the game and I have almost the same impressions.
However, I'm starting to wonder: does this game have actual dungeons? I mean big tortuous mazes like in the previous games. I was very happy when I entered that tower in Shnjuku but
it ended up being so small.
I hope I'm wrong.

Does alignment work the same way as it does in Strange Journey where you able to choose what path you want to go down as long as you aren't focused heavily in either law or chaos?
I'm still undecided what path I want to go down and was wondering if I need to be cautious about my decisions lest I get locked into a path early on.

Holy crap, and I thought I was nearing the final chapters. :lol
My playtime so far is 50hrs... How?

Wait, four endings? Is there a True Demon equivalent, or more of a 'you LOSE, good day sir' bad ending like Nocturne?
I think it might be the latter.
There's a bad ending.

Oh god. I hope it's not something you can easily get locked into.

Haven't played in a day or two due to busyness. Where is the terminal in
? I remember when I arrived I searched around and came across something that said "I sense a terminal but dangerous" but for the life of me can't remember where that was.

When in doubt, look at an actual map of Tokyo! I promise, it really helps!
Agreed, I did this too.
There's a choice that leads to it and you pretty much get it right away if you choose it.

That's good. I have no idea where my alignment falls, but after Metropolitan, probably Chaos.
As a magic-based character, I found little use for macca. I beat the game with the white samurai armor on, and bought a couple of leg pieces and accessories but not many. Some of the other stuff (particularly in the secret shop) would have helped a couple of times, but in the end I just didn't bother. I'd say that's one of the disappointments I had with the game, although it isn't that big of a deal to me. At any rate, my answer to your question is no, I didn't buy or use the DLC.
Have all the DLCs except the school armor one. Macca DLC is just the thing that I need since I fuse demons a lot, like one to three new demons per level. The App Point DLC on the other hand, only got around a 100+ points to get a few apps that I want and thats it. The Exp DLC however, while I know is very broken, I found a good use for it by using it only on demons when I need them to quickly learn all of their skills so I can fuse them right away. Barely used it with the MC too.
