Fantastic, thanks. Might not spend app pts in any exp stuff and just put it into summoning cost reduction.

No.
Mmkay.
Yeeeeeep. Last time I had one ambush me and then use that spell immediately. I cried.

To give a better answer now that I'm not on my phone:
Megidoloan or whatever is Heavy Almighty damage. Second best damage dealing spell in the game. Holy Wrath deals the most damage against chaotic demons, but will deal out less on non chaos aligned targets.

Just picked this game up along with the extra credit bonus.
First time playing an SMT game, so I'm optimistic. But still;

Uh now that I am on google translate it seems... wrong?
It says killing of Dullahan is chaotic, -1
How? I thought killing it was lawful.

Some of them dont even have point values.
they are in the west section of Ginza. You have to do a couple things there to get them and the silver coin
Oh, alright!
My face the moment I realized I had saved instead of loaded. . . yeah. Macca isn't as hard to come by now, but the shock was extreme.
In the big cross-shaped plaza in Ginza, bribe the dude at the west end to get access past him. IIRC you need to go down into the poison tunnel area to buy the gold card off a guy. I'm not sure about platinum though.
Btw, make sure you have a shitload of money on you.

Got finished under Midtown.
I had seen the "kidnapping" hint, but didn't quite predict the full extent of what the Ashura-kai were up to. I feel sick.
Reverse Hills was a pretty cool setting though. I'm fond of upside-down buildings.

Is there an easy way to see which path you are currently on? (N, C, L)

Yeah, check the cynical man in any Hunter's Association after Shibuya

So is the default name considered canon?

Extremely late game question:
Is it ever revealed who the young girl is who asks you to revive her at the start of the game? She and Stephen just kinda... vanished. I assume they come back in neutral route.

I scoured TVtropes for the asnwer but didn't find it.
Probably for the best. It makes working towards that route worth doing.
That's lawful because of the expressed intent to go on a killing spree. You're preserving law and order.
Also, what are the challenge quests that open up on a NG+? I've got a Nue hunting competition in Naraku that I don't remember from my first run, and a handful of other challenge quests that I've never seen before.

Shibuya is unbelievable. Just when I thought the game couldn't get any more impressive. It's massive.
According to this list there are 12 new ones: http://gamers-high.com/megami4/chart/challenge-quest.html
Plus one new each for Chaos and Law. Oh, and one you can get from a demon on Chaos or Neutral.
Yes, it'll still have effect
This game definitely has way more 3d modeling and content than I would expect out of a handheld title, game could've been right at home on a PS2.

Question; semi-late in the Neutral path, but I've hit a "wall"
Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!
specifically Seraph's Light Wall. Ha ha, see what I did there?

I hope they do a console version at some point. I would absolutely buy it.

When I realized that gear in this game shows on your character model, I was psyched.
Then I realized gear isn't really that fleshed out in this game and went through most of it wearing stuff I got from the beginning of the game.
THEN I started getting stuff that made my character look patently ridiculous, and I was psyched again

Gosh dern it! Why does this have to be on the 3DS?
I seem to recall I just slammed him with Almighty spells. Not sure if that's a help or not.

It's a step in the right direction, problem is at a certain point he reciprocates and after two times of that my party is usually wiped. Ah well, if at first you don't succeed and all that. Thanks for your input!
Fought it in another route, but it should still hold: look for the
color when he casts it. Yellow means you need to hit it with a lightning spell to break, and so on and so forth.

Thanks, I sort of thought that's what that meant only I tried to do the opposite as in thinking it was wanting me to exploit a weakness, silly me :/

Sheesh. Bosses are falling apart like paper everywhere I go.
I may have broken the game just a little. (My main has Bufula/Maragion/Fire Breath/Zanma/Shock/Mediarama/War Cry.)
I killed Shibuya's boss in two turns.

My moonrune is insufficient to translate anything other than the "Kuesuto" on top of those categories, but am I right in seeing that NG+ quests don't affect alignment?
Because Atlus always follows its audience, and a Japanese gamer is more likely to own a 3DS than a PS3.

Throw Concentrate on your character as soon as you can. It'll be even more ridiculous

I'm guessing that the Panic charge skill without the handicap. I almost took that, but I figured panicing the main would be amount to suicide.

Awwww Yeahhhhh!!!
On the neutral path it seems:

You are correct!
Nope. Concentrate is Mind Charge--2.5 damage on your next magic attack. Panic Charge is like casting multiple magic-specific Tarukajas on the caster.

Junior Member
YAY!!!
My first save I was neutral to the point where at the white area I was either law or chaos depending on the answer. I reloaded the save before I went to the camp and choose a different answer on the question RIGHT BEFORE I went to the camp. They were not kidding when they say it was a thin line to neutral.
cj_iwakura
Member
So doesn't that make Panic Charge more effective, or does Concentrate stack with Tarukaja?
User used Panic Magic: 125%
It's basically a pieroma. Concentrate is just mind charge; it works off taru.
Ugh, not sure what to do about getting on Neutral route.
I'm following a guide, but where the guide writer says they are currently Neutral at the point where I am now, I'm being told I'm Chaos. I don't want to do this all over again... and the next several decisions (according to the guide writer) is just more Chaos. I REALLY don't want to go through all of this just to get on Chaos again.
