I think it's interesting how some plot points can only be seen by talking with npcs, rather than being thrown into cutscenes, and it gives a reason to go around Mikado once in a while, but I've just gotten to the point where Mikado's king
Well,
Anyway, SMT does focus too much on Tokyo, but it comes due to the whole very regional take that the game has. It always represents specific districts of Tokyo, and does so very consistently. If they were to expand the scope, they'd have to heavily diminish that aspect and that doesn't seem to be something they want to do.
It's not just a ceiling, it's a barrier all around
The people there can't leave.
is deposed and the angels take control, and I think some parts of this story really should have been part of the main plotline.
The Luxuror caste is no more, and everyone is equal - which is what Water has been wanting this whole time, and yet he doesn't react to it at all. Meanwhile, there are many small changes going on in the kingdom - they're apparently going to abandon the "mystic script" and the church's people are digitalizing their old books. Jonathan, similarly, in the story scenes, still talks about preserving the "kingdom that they know", even though the angels are obviously changing longstanding traditions if you go by the information given by the npcs.
It'd have been interesting if they had used that to completely change Jonathan's and Walter's positions around. Either way, in spite of that problem, I'm enjoying the story.

Well,
it basically didn't exist. Yamato/JPs set up those defenses to protect Tokyo, so it wasn't consumed while most of the rest of the world was devoured.
In the game, one of the endings involves defeating the Septentrione without recreating the world, and in that one you're just left with a small island surrounded by endless sea.

That's the first place I check, no dice.
Quite a few demons that you unlock early on are too high level to actually be fused right after you unlock them for fusion. There are also the special fusions, but that's not the only explanation for some missing ones.
For example, Minotaur and Medusa's levels are in the 30s, David is in the 20s, Long is in the 40s. They only will appear in the list when you're closer to them.
Ooooh, I see, thank you.

Fuck, any tips on

The shit this guy does...
- He gets 5 moves per turn and ALWAYS ATTACKS FIRST
- First turn Debuffs you with war cry and starts doing Antichilorin or however that's spelled. Thats the ultimate almighty spell with a built in debiliate.
- If you survive the first turn, he starts experimenting with your party with physical attacks and fire spells mixed with Antichilorin
- If he finds someone that nulls phy/fire , he will NEVER do that move again against them unless he decides to do mariagidyne.
- What does he do if he decides phy or fire attacks aint worth doing? Does Antichilorin 4 times in one turn and kills party
- Good chance of getting crits What happens everytime he crits and smirks? That almighty spell for 600-700 damage.
My fukking tears gaf. my fukking tearrrsssss

Also, special fusions will only be revealed in the menu when you've recruited or fused all of their component demons.
Are you using Rakukaja? I'm finding it pretty imperative so far, even compared to the other buffs.

The tree demon, I believe, you need to fuse. As far as I know, Tree demons are among the types that aren't encountered on the map. The level 30 demon, meanwhile... I want to say you encounter him in the area just before
the tower where the three VIPs were held
a level 26 Ubu.

Ah so I will try for neutral this time by being a bit more chaotic with my actions. And then this time I will save before the final decision. I had no idea it would happen last time.
Also what is this hunter tournament people keep bringing up? I never saw that in my game ever. Did I just not talk to side characters often enough? I sorta ignored the bars later on because fuck side quests on this vague map.

It's actually one of the earliest challenge quests to come up in Tokyo. I think you get it at the Ueno Hunter's Association. The prelim tournament happens at an arena right by the bridge (south and a bit east of Ueno), and the finals happen much later in the game.
Take the east exit from the underground area. Then take the northeast exit. It will be in the northeast section of the area you just entered

How do you find lost demons? I just lost one after a beating another strong demon and I have no idea what to do.
Also, going full strength sucks.
Edit: Game is hard.

Head northwest toward the poison. Wade into the poison, then head west and south out of the poison and onto the road. Shinjuku is right there.

They come back. When you're encountered by an enemy, chances are your demon will be the one you ran into. It's cute because they'll ask where you were and some say they've missed you. They also bear gifts.

Okay what do u guys do with low level demons you don't need anymore? I'm currently level 62 and I have demons in level 20's. When I go to fuse them I end up with still low level demons. I want to make room for new demons, but fusing these losers is such a waste.
Lost demons are found as random encounters in the field.
Put your points into Dex, agility and luck. Strength mostly just affects the basic attack. Dex is for actual Phys skills and Gun attacks (which allow you to hit elemental weaknesses later on, and elem. bullets are going to be your only form of offense on enemies resistant/immune to phys or pierce. Thankfully there aren't many, but you should be prepared.). Luck increases your crit chance.
OMFG just beat
after almost 20 tries. That feel of victory. He drops 10 of every incense
I recorded me beating him and yelling "yes!" upon my victory
Hopefully will serve as a guide for people youtubing around and trying to beat him

Thank you so much. I was really confused for a bit there.

But that feels so un-SMT of me to do.
IF you're rich, you can just enter a fusion frenzy with it till it becomes a demon you want
Just remind yourself of how often you need those demons. I had a Caladrius (heh) that I kept until level 40 because I realized that I never ran out of dis-poison.

There really isn't.
If you get him that far you're almost there. Just make sure you pick the choices in each convo that buffs you, debuff his attack/defense early on if you can, and go all-out on offense once you hit the back stretch.
In most zombie films, or post-apocalyptic films (or other media), the United States is the only place mentioned. You sit there wondering what's going on in Europe or other places in the world, and they never bring that up ever. It's silly to act like this is something that's uncommon. Perhaps it's not always just one city in these things, but it certainly is one country.
Nope cuz i found this out
If you die your first time, do NOT restart. Instead pay charon to revive you and then save. Voila! As long as you dont leave the area and save again, you can try fighting him over and over till you beat him!
Most comics are just one city.

In the first area of Shinjuku, there's a girl in one of the shutters. That's who you want to talk to.

Many thanks!
Played for about 2 hours and . . .
Ah, this will do just nicely indeed.
And yeah, it sure is...
Enjoy!
Thanks, people weren't kidding about the difficulty either. My first death was brutal and swift. I guess that's the nature of the beast though, lol.

Actually, in the case if SMT3 and DeSu 1(as well as other games in the series),
the event was initiated by a person or group that just kinda happened to be situated in Tokyo. So, unless you're suggesting Hikawa or Naoya should have moved out of the country to start their plans for absolutely no reason, I don't see what your deal is.
May I ask what's so special about the special fusions? I'm assuming they are just better Demons overall? I managed to fuse Fortuna at level 11 although she wasn't anything special as far as I can see. There is that healing spell that she is going to learn eventually, so maybe that's what makes her worth it? Also, will you eventually be able to do fuse three or more demons? Or is that essentially the whole point of special fusions?
Regardless, this game rocks and fusing demons is addicting.
