Nope. Not without spoiling anything. I will say this, though. If you get the "bad" ending, you can reload and continue on past that.

Just went through the temple in Ginza.
Some pretty interesting plot stuff here. I figured the Black Samurai was connected to the Ring of Gaea somehow, but I was still surprised that she wound up being Yuriko. Walter and Jonathan are really starting to drift down their respective paths now. I enjoyed the intensity of their first major confrontation. I'm interested in finding out what this thing Yuriko wants me to see is.

Should I expand my skill slots or my demon's skill slots first? Or is it more beneficial to wait for MP/HP regen?
Trying to decide what to do with my few app points is so painful! >_<

I alternated between my slots and my demons (eg, I took the first one for MC, then the first demon one, etc). I think expanding skill slots earlier on is more important. I just recently got MP regen, and it's very nice, but getting to 8 skill slots is a lot more important.

Well shit, I've been doing that trying to get the Law ending. Is Law the "bad" ending?
So you can't get locked into the bad ending like the others?

Bad ending is separate from the normal three endings.

Well, let me say that I hope you get bored more often then! Fantastic cover.
Yo, dude, nice stuff here! This is my favorite track in the game. Great cover!

Excellent. That's what I've been doing so far, I was just wondering if it were time to change. Plus some of the other apps have been looking very enticing recently...
Ah. Thank you.

The bad ending is so abrupt.
I mean, "What, huh, who are you? What? Huhhh?"
Then it ends.

Oh, and the new purchasable costume from the store is rather cool looking, and it's fit for gun-using characters too... But the stat for the Cowboy Hat still better than the head armor provided in this set

So I just beat the Minotaur. Ooh, so this is a fantasy meets reality story? I'm always up for those kinds of stories.

What section of Ueno is

Wait so whats kinds of things do you need to do to get the different endings?
Which ending is the "best" ending to aim for if I don't want to do multiple playthroughs at the moment?

There's choices to make during the game. Each choice can be neutral. chaotic, or lawful. Neutral ending is the best ending. At the least, it gives the happiest ending by far.

Oh sweet! And I thought for the longest time I've been on Chaos! *sighs a sigh of relief*
Trust me, you'll know when it's coming. (and you can't be locked into it)
That was awesome.
EDIT: Awesome doesn't do it justice, I can honestly say that I really, really enjoyed that arrangement.
Is Silent Prayer a combination of both Dekunda and Dekaja, or does it also remove your own buffs and enemy debuffs?
Damn, that's good.

What's with the random Yosuke?
I'm current doing the quest on
.
killing yuriko
There were 3 options when I met the guard. One was saying I'm after Yuriko's life and the other one was to join them as member of Gaia.
Does choosing any of these options can affect my alignment? Which one is for law and one for chaos?

Help!
I can't remember where to turn in the challenge quest "Ikebukuro Free District". I have the photos taken. Anyone remember where the guy is?

Does anyone know what the exact quote is Jonathan uses early on in the game? Something like "we must protect the peace we know today, for the children of tomorrow."
Not exactly, but it will remove all buffs/debuffs for the party and the enemy, so basically, it will just return all status to normal.
Wow, I have no idea where to go. 15 hours in and I just beat a LV75 Domain boss at LV27 (God, SMT battles are the best, the shit you can pull with the press turn system). Actually, I feel like I've defeated all available Domains and I'm still wondering aimlessly. My main mission is still to search for the Black Samurai, but I feel like I've covered all available areas. For exact location I've just found the
. I guess I'll figure it out. =/

Here's a good example of what pisses me off about this game: As I was heading back to heal from a boss, I ran into a horde that I couldn't escape from. First move they cast is Mabafu, which one member is weak to. On their second move they cast it again, killing two demons and my character. The boss was a cakewalk compared to this.
Haven't played an RPG in years this poorly balanced.

Strange Journey was not this way the 40 hours I played of it. Can't remember about Nocturne as it was ages ago I played it.

Happened to me all the time in both games. This game's much easier to break as far as bosses go since most of them have weaknesses, and you can customize demons & the MC to your liking.

But the Bad Ending can be viewed before you go headlong into the path of your locked alignment. Much wiser to just view it, then immediately reload and head into whatever the path you are locked into during that playthrough.

I've played both of those too and SMT4 is by far the worst when it comes to getting wiped by an unlucky random encounter and the best at cheesing bosses to death.

You can save anywhere, so at least it's less oh god to hell with this game and more well that was silly.

I find getting wiped out by a 'random' encounter way more frustrating since I save before every boss. >.<
Teleport to Shinjuku, take the northwest staircase. You'll land in Shinjuku Station - West Entrance and you'll be right infront of the quest giver's room.
I couldn't even get my first demon when I was killed for the first time
It costed me 3 deaths till I got the first one lol
