What choice?
I am asked to follow one of my two mates. What would end up be the best option ?
ColossalLazy

It depends on which alignment you are aiming.
If you are aiming for neutral, follow one to balance your previous choices.
Well, that's the thing : I chose to follow Jonathan on the path of ethics in the first crossroads and Walter in the second. I am actually torn since I want to finish neutral.
I hope there's a way somehow, I am expecting also a True Demon ending, so staying neutral might be key.

You are still in the path of ethics?
No, I am right after the rendez-vous with the four idiots. And they are surpsingly ugly. Like, really.
Interesting. He seems to be the *Chaos* path.

All I gotta say there will be plenty other choices, especially one that wheighs a lot, after the path of ethics.
Keep checking in the Hunter Bar with the Cynical Man your alignment.
Thanks, I did not know you could keep track of your alignment. Let's try to worm our way between the two paths.

All I will say is that being TOO neutral will screw you over on getting on the neutral path, as nonsensical as that sounds...

Just beat the game - was neutral most of the game, but wound up falling over on the chaos side.
Tried to play the game honestly and make my decisions on what I would do if this was real - so I guess I'm a very bad person.
Easily one of my favorite games this year - the demon fusion aspect was like crack for me - especially going for the special fusions.
Time to move on to something new now - maybe some Etrian Odyssey IV.
Long live Atlus.

hey guys, finally beat this game.
It was incredible. Definitely one of the best JRPGs I've played in a long time.
I ended up at the chaos route and

I ended up at the chaos route and
I decided to turn the world into nothing.
King Kenji took me so many tries. But I finally took him down. A satisfying end boss for sure. Ancient Curse is hell'uva move.
That's not the end of the game....
You just got the bad end. Now go and actually finish the game!

What's Demon Introduction II? Demon Introduction is the Domain area theme. There's a second variation?
cj_iwakura
Member
Apparently. I don't recognize it offhand, but it sounds like music that plays when you confront the boss of a Domain.
I got a 2DS with this from Christmas! Yay!
So! What DLC would you recommend? Any essentials?
None is essential but the 5 story DLC are nice and will fill some of the story gaps in addition to some nice boss battles.
Does it integrate directly into the story? If so, at which point? 'cause I wanna start playing but the eShop is troubled. >.>
The story DLC tell what happened before or after some of the main story's events and some of them show parts of the story that were never explained in the main game.
But in any case, you won't be able to play them until you you are in the last part of the game because they require high level demons with high level skills.
Alright, cool, thanks.

Not really a "bad" ending. It's a choice. 1 of 4 possible endings.
To be honest, I've gotten 3 endings down (including neutral) and none are as satisfying as the nihilism ending. I say stop there if you're satisfied with it

You miss out on a ton of NPC dialogue though, some more bosses, and of course(if you're Neutral/Law),
the majesty of Lucifer's Palace. Best dungeon BGM in the game.
Isn't that a remix of the same theme from SMTII?
cj_iwakura

News to me.
Yeah, got a link by any chance? I don't remember hearing anything similar. In fact, I remember being mad annoyed when Kether Castle didn't even get its own unique theme.
Maybe I'm wrong but it sounded familiar to me. I need to find out where did I hear it before.
Edit: here you go. The refrain reminds me of the one in Amami Monolith theme from Soul Hackers.
Well, that solves the puzzle.
Wait. This is really a bad advice to give.
Each ending gives some answers and the neutral one in particular was pretty satisfying. Finishing the game without knowing the cause of the ceiling, the identity of that mysterious young girl who appeared with Steven or the infamous Burroughs is missing something.
Sorry for the double post but the director Kazuyuki Yamai confirms that the soundtrack will be released in 2014.

glad it's coming
People are exaggerating. It's not because you occasionally die in a J-RPG that it's hard. You can save anywhere, so even if you die often, it's not a big deal.
BTW it will get even easier as you progress in the game. There are few optional bosses who can be hard but getting them to show up is actually harder than most of the battles themselves.
In my experience, SMT games are generally only really hard if you don't make use of the systems it gives you, like fusion and press turn. Unforgiving might be a better word.
Yes.
I need some advice again, for Vishnu:
Mana Surge or Draconic Reaction? Or perhaps should I take them both and remove Invitation?
This is the only time that I allow a DLC skill on my demons (Pierce Physical).
I have ~80 St, 60 Lu and 60 Ag incenses ready to be used on him.
This is probably the 5th or 6th version of Vishnu I build and all the incenses I spent previously are wasted. I hope this is the last time -_-
